Microsoft Project Reviews

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Project is scheduling. The solution is useful on a daily basis.

Microsoft Project could improve the dates. Sometimes the dates are not aligned. This occurs even when you auto-schedule the dates. We have to go and define the schedule daily this should more easily accessible.

I have been using Microsoft Project for approximately 10 years.

Microsoft Project is stable.

The scalabiltiy of Microsoft Project is good.

We have three or four people using this solution in my department.

I have not used the support from Microsoft Project.

I have not used another solution prior to Microsoft Project.

I rate Microsoft Project a nine out of ten.

I am a project manager, so my primary use cases for Microsoft Project are the creation of a work breakdown structure – the time and schedule of the project – and following up on it. I also create reports. We're not using the enterprise solution and are not connected to a PMO. 

The features I find the most valuable are scheduling and reporting. I mostly do short projects that last three to six months. These are simple projects with a limited team of three to five members. We do not even do updates through the application. We do updates through meetings. 

The tool currently has a limited number of tutorials now. Those could improve, which would be helpful. 

They could also work on integrations with solutions like Teams. We have all of our project files in Teams and it is much easier to use for communication than MS Project, but there is no integration of the two solutions. 

I have been using Microsoft Project for about three years.

I would rate the stability of this solution a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

My impression is that scalability is quite good for more complex projects.

We are in a good partnership with their support team. We have an account manager and we have a support team. They're very supportive.

Positive

I tried to use Primavera, but I didn't find it as easy to operate in as MS Project. However, that was an older version. I don't know if they have updated or simplified the application.

I would rate the initial setup of this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. It's not very complicated. Even if you download and use the application for the first time, you can easily find your way.

Overall, I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

The solution allows users to manage projects and project portfolios. 

The solution makes it very easy to plan and has great customization capabilities. 

The setup is very simple and straightforward. 

It is stable.

It's a scalable product, especially the online version. 

There's a lot of great documentation available online. Users can teach themselves to use the product.

It would be ideal if the solution integrated more with  Azure DevOps and other work management platforms like Jira.

I've used the desktop and cloud version for about three or four years.

The solution is quite stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. It offers good performance. 

The online version of the solution is quite scalable. The desktop version is just for one user.

The number of users varies according to the project. On one, we had maybe 40 users, on another, we had 500.

It is being used quite extensively at this time. We do plan to increase usage.

We've never reached out to technical support in the past. I can't speak to how helpful they are. 

It's easy to set up the solution. It's not a complex process. 

We only need one person to deploy and maintain the product. They are an admin.

We did the setup in-house in one day. We did not need outside assistance. 

The solution is part of Office 365, and it is an annual subscription.

We can use the solution on-premises and on the cloud. 

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

I'd recommend potential new users seek out videos and documentation to help learn the solution. There's a lot of good content that is very helpful to new users, and a lot of it is free. 

I primarily use the solution on my desktop for my personal needs.

It is very easy to deploy. 

The solution is stable. 

Microsoft offers good support.

I'd like the solution to be less expensive. 

It's a Microsoft product and therefore it is stable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. 

I cannot say that it's scalable. It's on MS sources, so it's on the desktop. We don't really scale the product.

I haven't really relied too much on technical support, however, they are good.

Positive

I did not previously use a different solution.

The solution is very straightforward and simple. It's not as complex. You can connect the license in less than 30 minutes on a desktop.

I handled the initial setup by myself. I did not need the help of outside resources such as consultants or integrators. 

The licensing costs vary. It's largely very expensive. 

I'd recommend the solution to other users and companies. 

I would rate the solution nine out of ten.

We are in presales, and when the planning is very complex, we use Microsoft Project. That is, when we receive an RFP, we propose our solution and plan and build the different processes in Microsoft Project.

I like that I can change the task and include different resources related to the task.

It would be better if Microsoft Project were included in the DevOps stack. That is, I'd like to see this tool integrated to a different stack of the applications that we normally use in DevOps, such as in Jira, for example, to deploy a different version related to the different tasks that are included in Microsoft Project.

I've been using this solution for more than 10 years.

My impression is that it is stable.

It's very easy to install and use. It doesn't take a long time to deploy.

We have about 1000 people using it in our operations department.

I recommend using this solution if you working on a complex project or complex system.

Our company has a project department that is responsible for project deployment. When a new client comes up, they will have a lot of PMPS packs which have a list of activities. We use the tool to plan projects.

The tool has a simple and excellent approach.

The solution is a basic tool that does not give you analytical insights. It does not have any AI capabilities which can also help to plan.

The solution is stable. I would rate the solution’s stability a seven out of ten.

The tool is scalable. You just need to send a requirement for more licenses. There are around five users for the solution in our company.

We do not use any paid support services from Microsoft since our requirements are not high.

The solution’s setup is very easy.

I would rate the solution a seven out of ten.

We use Microsoft Project to develop IT projects for a pharmaceutical company. It helps us coordinate between teams of developers and admins. 

Microsoft Project is easy to use and helps our teams visualize the evolution of our projects.

The Microsoft license is relatively expensive. 

I have used MS Project for about five years.

I rate MS Project nine out of 10 for stability.

MS Project is scalable. Twenty-five people in my company

We had another project management solution, but we switched to Project when the company adopted 365.

Installing Microsoft Project is effortless. The initial installation took me about two or three days. It was easy to install after I took the online courses. I didn't need an integrator or a consultant. 

I rate Microsoft Project nine out of 10. 

The roadmap functionality is very nice. All the dependencies and timelines are there. 

The board mode and the list of tasks are very handy to have in front of me. It looks very similar to a Trello board. It's very easy to navigate and understand.

The stability is very good.

Technical support has been very helpful.

I'd like to have few more specific features, however, it's possible that Microsoft will decide to implement and deploy them in the future. 

It would be nice, for example, if we have stages of the project, to have some tasks that can be split. We'd like to be able to see different timelines as a part of one task. 

I'd like to see the dependency of one task but split into a few parts. I'm mostly working with infrastructure projects in the company. Sometimes I have to stop the implementation of one part of the project due to various reasons, and I have to switch to another task. I have to see the stage and stop and show in another part I'm taking in the work. I'm not stopping the project. I'm just switching tasks and I have to see when I can continue the previous response. I need to see that the one task continuing, but not all the time. Right now, the organization is done mostly in my head, however, it would be ideal if I could visualize it with adjusted timelines.

We just started using the solution a few months ago. We're still in the testing phase and haven't fully decided on what were are going to go forward with.

We didn't have any problems with the product. It's very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It works great.  

We had contact with technical support on another project and had questions about our migration between two tenants. We talked directly to support and it was quite helpful to use them to get advice and assistance. We had a nice experience overall.

We've worked with Zoho One in the past, as well as a few other premium CRM providers. We were working on a full complex solution for our office that was a CRM with different other solutions. It was for complicated projects, however, we decided to switch to another software.

We are using currently using Office 365 and additional applications from Office 365 such as Branches, Project, and Power BI. We decided to have all the complex solutions from one company that offers connected applications, rather than just choose all different software without the basic platform from which we can connect. That's why we chose Microsoft Project.

We have three licenses. Three people have an opportunity to make projects, and two people are included in the project so they can see the timeline, the board, the task. They're quite happy with what they see in terms of being able to watch over the project.

While we're likely to use Microsoft, we're also looking at Jira, Confluence, and Trello.

We're customers and end-users of the solution.

While we are currently using the cloud as we test things out, it's possible, once we make a concrete decision about Microsoft, that we will switch to an on-premises deployment.

Currently, I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten simply due to the fact that I don't know all the opportunities it offers us just yet. We haven't been using it for so long and need some more time to discover all the features on offer.
