A highly scalable tool that offers users the ability to use it for international projects
The most valuable feature of the solution is the functionality that it offers since the performance part is not so critical as you only use it to upload or download documents and create tasks. Celoxis is not used for very high transaction requirements. My company did not face any issues with Celoxis's performance. Celoxis was quite quick, and its functionality was rich, prompting my company to integrate it with many other project management features for which we previously used several other systems. Celoxis replaced and offered a product that was an integration of Excel and Microsoft Project into a single suite.

Improved project scheduling has maximized resource utilization and has reduced delays
I think the licensing structure presents a significant area for improvement. The full features are not offered on the standard E4 license. This becomes problematic when distributing the project plan. I can export the plan as Excel and CSV files, but then I lose all the rich features, including dependency mapping. To recreate all that functionality without proper licensing is challenging. Microsoft Project offers a light version available for free, but when I try to distribute a project plan, it requires separate licensing. Microsoft Project Central used to be more of an enterprise product. Microsoft Project currently focuses on very low-level task management, and it could do much more. I do not see significant advancement happening because there is confusion about where Microsoft Project is heading. I believe Microsoft should bundle the license with Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This approach would result in more people using Microsoft Project. That is my opinion on how to improve adoption and the product offering.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Celoxis is scalable in terms of the number of users or the number of projects that the product can handle. Even the storage that is available for a project is scalable in Celoxis."
"Dependencies (not typically effectively used in "Agile" techniques) allow understanding of actual project status and challenges."
"Microsoft offers good support."
"The Gantt chart view is great."
"It is easy to check project costs in the solution."
"We love, in general, the usability and the user interface; it's quite intuitive and easy to use."
"The built-in dashboards are powerful because they show both project and overall progress."
"My life has improved so much with Microsoft Project."
"Resource leveling is very useful. We like this feature. We like to be able to expand tasks and look at different resources and tasks usages. It is good at assigning tasks to teams. It is pretty compliant with the Project Management Institute approach, which is useful for being comprehensive. It allows us to make little Gantt charts and network diagrams."

Cons

"One feature in Celoxis that is quite hard to understand and set up is its access management part."
"The solution could offer waterfall options for agile and sprint planning."
"When I have too many elements or items in a project, it becomes cumbersome, especially during printing."
"Microsoft Project could improve the interface, it should be more intuitive. It could be adjusted a little bit to make it a little easier to use and more user-friendly. It is a very powerful tool and it takes people a while to get used to it."
"I have no idea about the cost because it is a corporate decision."
"The solution's interface seems to be an outdated one. So, I would like its interface to be improved."
"It has a bit of a learning curve since there are a lot of features in it, and we haven't really gotten a chance to train through the whole product."
"The dashboard could be improved."
"We'd like to be able to see different timelines as a part of one task."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though I am unsure, I guess that my company pays around 20 to 25 USD every month for every user."
"The solution is expensive."
"The product is not expensive. My company has opted for an annual subscription."
"Its price could be reduced a little."
"We purchase perpetual licenses due to the high cost of subscriptions, which are about 1,000 Australian dollars."
"It gets expensive when having to add all of the plugins and everything that you need."
"The solution is less expensive than other options."
"Microsoft Project is an expensive solution."
"The cost for an on-premises-based license is a one-time fee, and the cloud-based is an annual payment plan."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Microsoft Project?
I would say Microsoft Project is affordable, but the standalone Project license should be included in the Office price to increase adoption.
