Microsoft Project Server Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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.

We are currently using the 2001 version. 

We use the solution for projects, with the goal of it being shared with more users, who can employ it as a single tool. 

The solution could have more compact dashboards, such as one finds with Planview. 

We have been using Microsoft Project Server for 20 years. 

The solution is stable. 

The solution is scalable. 

I cannot comment on the technical support as I was not directly aligned with it. 

I cannot comment on the price as I was not responsible for purchasing the solution. 

The solution is easy to use. My advice is that one first try it out, guage its look and feel. 

I rate Microsoft Project Server as an eight out of ten. 

I use Microsoft Project Server for basic product deployments involving API.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is stable to use, especially since I work with Microsoft for an extended period. Microsoft Project Server is pretty convenient for me to use since I don't have to pay for it.

There are certain shortcomings in the documentation part where improvements are required. Microsoft should release some basic documentation on use cases to the public so that anyone who wants to learn more about the product can learn about it through the documentation available on Microsoft's websites.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for a week or two.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

Around 100 people use Microsoft Project Server.

The initial setup of Microsoft Project Server is easy.

If the codes and everything else related to the deployment process are ready, then the completion of the deployment phase would hardly take 20 to 25 minutes.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

Microsoft Project Server provides users with all the tools necessary for deployment, so you don't need to seek any external help to install it.

There are some payments related to the licensing cost of Microsoft Project Server.

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

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

I primarily use the solution for plans and projects. I use it to handle timelines and scheduling. It's primarily used for project implementation. We use it to improve and keep track of project status.

The user interface is okay. It's fine to navigate for a layperson.

As an end-user, I haven't gotten too technical with it.

It is stable.

The solution can scale. 

I don't have any specific notes for improvement. I do not require any more functionality.

I've had some issues with Project Server from time to time. It is not updated in real-time. Sometimes it, therefore, is not accurate.

Technical support could be more efficient. 

I've been using the solution for two years. 

The solution is okay. It has some issues with lagging. I'd rate the general stability eight or nine out of ten.

The scalability is good. I'd rate it nine out of ten. It extends well. 

At my previous company, many people used the solution, including managers and coordinators. 

Technical support often asks the same questions over and over. We'll get referred to a new person, and they will ask the same questions, which can be frustrating.

While problems do get solved, sometimes the response time is slow, and the process is repetitive. 

The initial setup of the solution was something I did not take part in.

The pricing is affordable. It's not overly expensive. 

I've only used Project Server and have not compared it to others.

I did work for a Microsoft gold partner.

I keep the solution up to date. I recently updated it in February.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten. 

We mainly use this solution for project management planification. I'm an external consultant and manager in enterprise transformation.

Project Server allows us to have a clear visualization of the action plan and the milestone to be reached; to know which resources are dedicated to what.

One of the good features is the easy integration with Excel. It's easy to use. I don't use all the functionalities, but it suits my needs. 

The user interface needs to be improved. It looks quite old and nowhere near as good as the Jira UI. I also think they should allow the delayed monitoring of the task. For now, there's only the planification of the whole program, and it's not possible to do daily monitoring of the task layer which is a natural extension of the planification of the project. The whole solution could be more flexible. 

I've been using this solution for less than a year. 

I believe the solution is stable. All the project managers use it so there would be around 100 users. 

The initial setup is rather complex and not user-friendly.

There are more user-friendly products on the market that I would suggest using in preference to this one. 

I rate this solution six out of 10.
