Project Manager at Digital Research Alliance of Canada
Visual project planning enhances collaboration and proactive management
The dependency management in Microsoft Project is highly valuable, as it visually maps dependencies and impacts within a project plan. The online version facilitates easy collaboration without having to share multiple versions of the file.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Deliverables List: Most useful to enable meaningful status reporting at an enterprise level."
"Microsoft Project Server is a powerful tool I've used for years."
"It brings all the information and all the data about our projects into one location and helps us provide holistic reporting and trends analysis across projects through the entire enterprise."
"It's stable and reliable."
"Resource allocation is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Project Server."
"The best features of Microsoft Project Server are the online collaborative working capabilities, which enable collaborative online work."
"From my point of view, there are many features that are valuable for portfolio management, such as linking between company strategy and each project, resource management, overview of portfolio projects and their separate parameters for resources, budgeting and forecasting perspectives."
"The solution offers excellent resource allocation tools and is flexible, particularly in portfolio management."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"Collaboration within the tool is lacking when you compare it to online or cloud-based tools."
"The reporting in the desktop version is not highly customizable or professional compared to other solutions."
"When a lot of users logged onto the site, it took a big toll on the service. Therefore, there is a scalability issue."
"There are more user-friendly products on the market that I would suggest using in preference to this one."
"From a features perspective, the insights around the cost and budget could be improved; competitor products are more robust, and Project Server has a very limited feature in terms of reporting, especially around cost control, with built-in reports and analytics that are very minimal and far behind what competitors offer."
"Microsoft Project Server is limited and falls short in using agile methodologies, which is the most important issue to improve."
"This is a good product but we have struggled with stability from time to time. The service has stopped intermittently and it has been difficult to find a reason why."
"It may be considered expensive, but it has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter."
"The platform's initial data entry process is time-consuming. It could be more streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."
"The licensing was procured before my involvement."
"There are some payments related to the licensing cost of Microsoft Project Server."
"The price of the Microsoft Project Server could improve, it is expensive here in Africa. When comparing Microsoft Project Server to Oracle Primavera for us, Microsoft Project Server is quite cost-effective."
"Microsoft Project Server is more expensive than other solutions on the market. We purchase the license annually."
"Microsoft Project Server is relatively cheaper than other products."
"There is a licensing cost."
