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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Dashboarding of information has given the organization insight, so we can move to be more proactive versus reactive."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is stable to use, especially since I work with Microsoft for an extended period."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the tool's reporting is very good."
"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."
"Microsoft Project Server is a scalable solution."
"Using Power BI and SQL Server, I can extract a lot more data."
"One source of truth for project metrics, management, and financial reporting."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"We think that calculations are not working correctly, and there is a need to enter data a couple of times in order to give the correct calculations."
"Permission management needs improvement."
"The initial setup is complex."
"In terms of tech support, it took a long time for them to resolve a ticket."
"The cost could be lower."
"Risk and issues are stored in the project SharePoint but there is no real auto communication of assignments; there is no mechanism for automatic escalation (much needed)."
"It would be useful if the solution allowed us to share files or project schedules. You may get that with the cloud version. However, it's not available on the on-premises versions."
"The solution needs to be much more stable."
"The platform's initial data entry process is time-consuming. It could be more streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Microsoft Project Server is more expensive than other solutions on the market. We purchase the license annually."
"A standard license is cheaper, but if you want more features, then there is a premium license or professional license."
"I think they need more flexibility with licensing, because there are preconceived ideas that don't allow as much flexibility with the various licenses."
"We have an enterprise agreement with Microsoft, and our licensing is based on the agreement."
"There are some payments related to the licensing cost of Microsoft Project Server."
"The technical assistance is expensive but the solution is an open source software."
"There is a licensing cost."
"Microsoft Project Server is an expensive solution. Small businesses will not be able to afford it."
