Microsoft Project Server Reviews

We use the solution for project consolidation and project portfolio management.

I found the portfolio management valuable.

Resource management has room for improvement because it uses a lot of resources. We used to use Star BI, and everything else was an additional cost to our business. We also had to pay extra money for reports.

I've worked with Microsoft Project Server for ten years.

I rate the solution's stability a five out of ten because we had major issues with the Sharepoint part. The problem was not with the Project Server.

I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten. The solution is meant for medium-sized enterprises.

The online support is useless. It goes into a loop. For example, if you go into "options," it sends you back. You go into this constant loop of trying options. The online support is terrible.

The initial setup for Microsoft Project Server is complex.

We implemented the solution in-house.

I rate the pricing a one out of ten because the price is way too high. You need five enterprise server licenses, then an SQL Server in addition to that.

We used some of the functions, but part of the reason we stopped using it was because of the cost. We chose an on-prem deployment because of problems with bandwidth. I wanted to perform software backups, but the connectivity was down, so my whole operation would stop if I went on the cloud.

I rate Microsoft Project Server a seven out of ten. I love the solution and enjoy working with it, but the cost is an issue, and the documentation is terrible.

I've spent the last five years as the Director of Consultations for a firm that specializes in Microsoft project implementation. Our clients include significant corporations from all throughout Russia. During this time, my daily responsibilities were around project oversight and working as a project manager, particularly for implementation projects. I also served as the architect for these solutions.

We have been using the latest version, both on-premises and cloud which is particularly famous in Russia.

In the competitive landscape of project management and portfolio management solutions, Microsoft Project Server stands out significantly. Despite a mature market with numerous competitive products, Microsoft's advantage lies in its seamless integration with the desktop Microsoft Project application. This desktop application has global popularity and is often the initial choice for customers to manage their small projects. As their projects and departments grow, the need for project server applications becomes apparent. Microsoft Project Server fits this need perfectly, allowing users to transition smoothly from the desktop application to the server environment.

Unlike many competitors who offer only web interfaces for their solutions, Microsoft Project Server uniquely enables users to work within the familiar user interface of the desktop application. This feature is particularly appealing to customers as it ensures continuity and ease of use. Microsoft Project Server has this advantage in comparison to its competitors in the field.

Microsoft is undergoing a shift in its approach. They're diverting their investments away from Microsoft Project Server's development and are focusing on a new solution based on Microsoft Power Apps. This new solution is exclusively cloud-based and can't be installed on-premises. While Microsoft Power Apps are technologically sophisticated, the cloud functionality is currently less sophisticated compared to the existing Microsoft Project Server solution on-premise. It appears that Microsoft's primary goal is to migrate as much functionality as possible from the legacy on-premises Microsoft Project Server to the new cloud-based Power Apps solution. 

I have been working with Microsoft Project Server for the last five years in Russia.

It is highly scalable. I would rate it a ten out of ten. 

The solution is easily scalable, however, it has some bugs. I can rate it a nine out of ten.

It is difficult to install Microsoft Project Server. I would rate the installation a three out of ten. The deployment takes almost three to four hours.

We needed almost three to four consulting developers.

I would rate the price a six out of ten. 

There should be significant organizational changes that are necessary to implement it. It should be more about the internal organizational interest of your company for the successful implementation of Microsoft Project Server. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten. 

We use this solution for the management of projects.

Microsoft Project Server is easy to use compared to other similar solutions, such as Primavera. It functions similar to Excel or others Microsoft solutions which makes it simple for most people to be able to use right away.

This solution could improve by adding integration with Primavera schedules to allow the reading and management of them.

In an upcoming release, the loading of larger schedules could be faster when using the wizard and better workload assigning is needed. For example, if work is assigned to someone and they only work at the beginning and the end but not in the middle, it splits the tasks equally over the period.

I have been using this solution for approximately six months.

The solution is stable for small projects but when used for larger projects it can become heavy and slow to load and operate.

We have approximately 900 employees with a license using this solution.

We still use Primavera and it is better at managing large projects than Microsoft Project Server. Additionally, we have used Microsoft Project Desktop and Excel for project management. It was not ideal because we were using Excel for reporting and people were able to cheat on their reports. With this solution, it is more difficult to alter the information to cheat the system.

The full installation with configurations took approximately two months.

We did the implementation ourselves.

There is an annual license required for this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others. However, it does not fit all use cases.

I rate Microsoft Project Server a seven out of ten.

I use Microsoft Project Server to create project timelines and task tracking.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to understand and navigate.

Stability of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for two months. I only know that I use the solution's web version.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

It is a scalable solution.

For project management, I use Asana and Trello.

The initial setup of the product is easy.

The time taken for deployment of the solution depends on the pipelines.

The product's installation phase can be carried out by one of the in-house teams in my company.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

New resources working on the development site as project managers need to deploy some services and install the project on Microsoft Project Server. And I go to the yeah. They can use the online portal or the desktop version of the solution through an email login.

Microsoft Project Server is a scalable solution.

The solution's desktop version is not compatible with the MacBook.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for ten years.

I rate Microsoft Project Server an eight out of ten for stability.

Around 20 users are using the solution in our organization. Since our client's environment is going to increase for development purposes, we plan to increase the number of users to 35.

Microsoft Project Server's initial setup is easy.

We pay an annual licensing fee for the solution.

We use the latest version of Microsoft Project Server.

Mostly, every resource in my company has a project on Microsoft Project Server. Most of our resources use the online version of the solution, while some use the desktop version.

I would recommend Microsoft Project Server to other users.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Project Server a nine out of ten.

Microsoft Project Server is simple to use. It doesn't require any prior knowledge. The junior executives can easily operate it.

The product is difficult to use for complex projects. There could be more planning tools for project management. Sometimes, we encounter issues with paper size while printing the project plan.

We have been using Microsoft Project Server for a few years.

It is a stable product.

We have five Microsoft Project Server users in our organization. It needs to be a more scalable platform.

I have used Primavera before. In comparison to Microsoft Project Server, it has a complicated interface.

The initial setup process is easy. It has a simple interface; we have to enter the main tasks and subtasks and set the time frame.

I implemented the product.

It is an inexpensive product. We purchase its yearly license.

Asana is more scalable and has an on-cloud version. It provides many features required for planning the project compared to Microsoft Project Server.

I rate Microsoft Project Server an eight out of ten. This product is the best choice if you are a beginner planning to do simple projects.

I am using Microsoft Project Server for managing projects, such as all the tasks-related activities are tracked.

When a project is complicated this solution monitors every task allowing us to have better control of the projects.

The most valuable feature of the Microsoft Project Server is the level of detail with which I can break down a task and check the dependencies.

The solution could improve the ease of access could improve. It can be time-consuming.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for approximately one year.

I rate Microsoft Project Server a seven out of ten.

We use Microsoft Project Server for everything to do with projects management, such as portfolio and program management.

Microsoft Project Server has improved our organization by providing visibility of all project portfolios in one place.

Microsoft Project Server could improve by making the solution more user-friendly.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for approximately seven years.

Microsoft Project Server's stability is good.

I have found the scalability of Microsoft Project Server to be great.

We have approximately 20 people using this solution in my company. Other companies have hundreds and thousands of users using it.

The technical support for Microsoft Project Server and the support is very good. Microsoft support is working very well.

I rate the support from Microsoft Project Server a five out of five.

The initial setup of Microsoft Project Server is simple if you know how to do it, but if you're not familiar with this technology, it will be complex.

I rate the initial setup complexity of the Microsoft Project Server a four out of five.

Initial deployment can be done within two or three weeks, but the deployment needs to improve when new requirements are needed.

One person is enough for the deployment and maintenance of the solution. However, they will have to have the knowledge needed in different technologies and know about project management methodology. 

There is a subscription model for different types of users for different types of roles.

This solution will not continue to be developed because it is going to the cloud.

I rate Microsoft Project Server an eight out of ten.
