Microsoft Project Review

Additionally, the key functions and presentation is consistent with other MS Office applications. I've not found a comparable project management software suite that is such a strong blend of simplicity and features. What do you dislike? There's a significant learning curves associated with the project, ...

Implemented Project for Schdule Management

Timesheet features needs lots of improvement. Workflows need simplification. Recommendations to others considering the product Upgrade to 2013 version and move towards Office 365. Cloud ...

Microsoft Project is a very useful tool for organizing and presenting information.
What do you like best? Microsoft Project can be easily integrated with other Microsoft products like Excel and Word. What do you dislike? Since it is a desktop application that is offline, the project data file is stored locally and must always be backed up by the user. Recommendations to others considering the product It takes some time to learn how to use the software, so watching a training video may help with the steep learning curve. What business problems are you solving ...

Project Coordinator
What do you like best? The integration between SharePoint and MS Project. Has the potential to create a very collaborative environment if the cloud is used. What do you dislike? It probably can do a lot more than how I've been trained to use it. Cannot use the integration with SharePoint and MS Project because it's web based and can pose security risks for the company. Therefore MS Project is primarily used for scheduling and WBS. Recommendations to others considering the product ...

Project Management, but only Project Management
What do you like best? Microsoft Project 2013 does what it does best, manages projects. It has gotten better with further integration with SharePoint (assuming you have the ability to integrate or use Project Server/Online and allows for a touch better of collaboration with OneDrive integration (add-ons can be used for other cloud based services. Another aspect that was nice was creating the resource pool and being able to estimate schedules and budgets more accurately. It will require ...

The standard for the desktop user
What do you like best? I compare everything I use now to this product. When I recommend something to another tool - i always say "Like Microsoft Project does it" What do you dislike? It's best used on the desktop. Everything cloud based looses some functionality Recommendations to others considering the product It's the standard and worth the money! What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Project management

Great tool for managing large scale projects
What do you like best? Microsoft Project has been a standard for tracking projects of various sizes. The dependency chaining works quite well and helps visualize resource and task scheduling. Good for milestone tracking at a high level, while also designating resources to specific tasks. Fits well if you use a waterfall model. What do you dislike? With agile development taking more of a front seat, MS Project doesn't really lend itself to this type of model. You could easily use Excel ...
