Collaborative task management simplifies office work, but agile methodology features need enhancement
In order to improve Microsoft Project Server, collaborative features could be enhanced, as it is possible to improve it in a collaborative way similar to other office products, for example, using cloud drives like OneDrive. Another feature is Kanban or other features such as Scrum with agile methodologies. Microsoft Project Server is limited and falls short in using agile methodologies, which is the most important issue to improve. Microsoft Project Server is a good product; it is possible to improve regarding enabling agile features because the teams in my work are using Trello and Jira products due to the blackboards, Kanban, and Scrum. To do activities and stopping activities is more comfortable and easier to use, making it more practical in my teamwork. These features do not exist in Microsoft Project Server.

Helps organize information and streamline client communication
My primary use case for the platform is to manage opportunities, company names, contacts, and meeting details. I use it to keep a detailed diary of customer interactions and plan the next steps. Our company is small, with five salespeople, and we rely on the CRM to track and manage our sales…

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

Pros

"The solution runs smoothly, is quite stable and reliable, we don't really see bugs or glitches, there aren't crashes and it doesn't freeze, and we have been able to operate it without issues."
"Microsoft Project Professional is the best client application (and is also used in competitors’ solutions) because it has a good scheduling engine and nice reports in the latest version of the product."
"It's stable and reliable."
"We are able to know what we are doing, how much we have spent, how much time we've taken, and it tells us how much money is left for the project."
"It is a scalable solution. We have been able to manage larger scale projects easily using this solution."
"I like being able to manage the capacity in terms of the resources. I also like being able to share documents and information between teams. It's the best solution for collaboration."
"It provides us with complete visibility of resource allocation on a global team."
"One source of truth for project metrics, management, and financial reporting."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"Project Server could be improved by simplifying how tasks are assigned and reviewed on a daily basis."
"The price of the product must be improved."

"The deployment aspect of the product is a bit tedious."
"The platform's initial data entry process is time-consuming. It could be more streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"A standard license is cheaper, but if you want more features, then there is a premium license or professional license."
"I'm not quite sure about the licensing costs. We're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of about 80,000 to 90,000 a year for our current on-prem because we handle our own licensing. As far as Project Online is concerned, we're still trying to get a good handle on that. It looks like it is going to be in a neighborhood of about 120,000 to 150,000 a year, but we're getting a lot more capability out of it."
"There is a subscription model for different types of users for different types of roles."
"I cannot comment on the price as I was not responsible for purchasing the solution."
"It's not subscription-based, we purchased the on-premises version."
"I rate the pricing a one out of ten because the price is way too high."
"Microsoft Project Server is relatively cheaper than other products."
"It is an inexpensive product."
