Microsoft Project Server Reviews

The project management, scheduling and resource management features are most valuable to us.

It has improved the structured PMO process and implementation in our organization.

The stability and performance in enterprise-grade farm implementations needs to be improved.

I have been using the current version for the last four months. The old versions I have used for around six years, i.e., 2010 and 2013.

There are issues with bugs and things break, when the scale is increased.

We encountered scalability issues, i.e., the features were breaking.

I would give the technical support a 8/10 rating.

Previously, we were using a different technology.

The setup process requires technical operations.

You should buy as much as is necessary.

We did not evaluate other options but we have used other similar tools.

Planning and expertise is required.

Microsoft Project Professional is the best client application (and is also used in competitors’ solutions) because it has:

• Good scheduling engine
• Nice reports in the latest version of the product

It gives us a clear view for the whole portfolio of our projects.

• Resource reservation workflow
• Financial management

I have used the Microsoft Project Server (and MS Project Central) platform for 10 years.

I only encountered stability issues with the 2010 version.

I only encountered scalability issues with the 2010 version.

The number of partners offering support is one of the highest for PPM solutions.

I did not previously use a different solution. I have always used Project Server.

Initial setup is not as easy as it looks on first impression.

This is probably the cheapest TCO enterprise PPM solution on market.

Before choosing this product, I compared it to Planview and HP PPM.

I advise not doing it by yourself; use an experienced Microsoft PPM Partner.

There are a few valuable features for us, including the dashboards, the reports it can generate, the projects function, and the timeline feature.

It's certainly increased our productivity. It also helps each of our business groups with maintaining transparency and to keep track of projects and tasks. We're able to share information with each other as well.

There are formatting issues that haven't been resolved. This needs improvement as it's annoying.

We haven't had any issues with deployment.

We haven't had issues with stability.

We haven't had issues with scalability.

It provides us with complete visibility of resource allocation on a global team.

It forced the organization to implement standard project management practices.

Make transitions easier to implement, e.g. if a new portfolio comes along, it should be easy to integrate to the existing portfolios.

I've used it for less than one year.

No issues encountered.

It's good.

No previous solution was used.

We used a vendor team.

We've not measured it.

We also looked at SAP PPM.

Plan, plan, plan. Make sure you understand your organizational needs and you know the process forward and backwards. The software is just a tool, if you do not understand what you're fixing, there is no way the software will help.
