"SharePoint site integration"
"Technical support is good."
"Project schedule management is very good. Basically, it sits on SharePoint. So, every time we create a project, a new project site is created within that SharePoint environment, which is a very good document repository. It allows us to create issues and risks lists and additional functionality to keep track of what's going on with projects."
"The solution is scalable and easy to expand."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is stable to use, especially since I work with Microsoft for an extended period."
"One notable positive aspect is its effective project-tracking capabilities."
"Microsoft Project Server is simple to use."
"Clarizen Slide Publisher has helped increase transparency and communication with project stakeholders for us."
"Clarizen's strength is reporting. Aside from reporting, I also like the ability to create customized workflow and custom actions. The workflow rules are handy. For example, you can create custom fields and dependent picklists."
"I like the project management solution. It's really nice."
"The feature that has improved our project planning the most is the ability to create custom workflows, which allows us to automate manual tasks that project managers need to perform. The collaboration feature enhances our team's productivity by allowing individuals to see the impact of their decisions on projects owned and managed by other teams."
"Microsoft Project Server's user interface is pretty average, and sometimes it can have bugs."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"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."
"The solution should be made more collaborative."
"The product is difficult to use for complex projects."
"EPM 2010 UI seems a bit dated now that 2016 is available."
"When a lot of users logged onto the site, it took a big toll on the service. Therefore, there is a scalability issue."
"Permission management needs improvement."
"One specific area for improvement could be implementing a development environment to test workflows with live production data."
"It could be more user-friendly. I think it is too overwhelming, initially, in terms of possibilities and so on."
"If I start customizing too many things, Clarizen tends to get really slow in our environment and especially if I'm tunneled in an environment, like if I'm connected to my VPN."
"I felt like the slide publisher isn't that user-friendly. I think it wasn't that easy to use or to figure out because of formatting constraints, or maybe we need to get better at understanding some of its limitations."
