"The solution is stable."
"It is easily adaptable. In addition, it is easily used on mobile applications."
"Technical support is very responsive - particularly on critical tickets."
"The stability of the 2019 version is quite good."
"The scheduling feature is the most useful."
"The solution scales well."
"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect."
"I like being able to manage the capacity in terms of the resources. I also like being able to share documents and information between teams. It's the best solution for collaboration."
"I don't go on Monday every day so being notified through email and Slack is helpful."
"Automation is definitely a favorite of mine."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The best feature for us would be the automation and how they can be set up to email, provide an update, and assign to different people all on different triggers."
"The product gives the whole team an overall view of the status of every single project that we develop, alongside budget management and support triage."
"In general, this solution is very user-friendly."
"It allows you to be granular, and send each step."
"Our team uses the platform for many different functions, and the ability to have multiple Kanban boards that are integrated into various other platforms our team uses has helped us become more efficient in our content creation strategies."
"When it comes to managing project plans, Enterprise One is awesome at enabling us to see what stage work is at. I've always thought it was awesome because it's good whether we're doing a traditional WBS or we're linking in epics into projects that are supporting the programs and the strategies, I've always thought it was an excellent tool."
"We use expenditures quite a bit. We put in forecast expenditures and then we actualize them below the line in the little box in the bottom tray. Being able to track the project with relevant milestones is also valuable. Milestones are valuable because it helps us to keep the project on track. The expenditures are valuable because we need to be able to understand expenses that are beyond the regular resources in the projects."
"I would say it works really well for forecasting remaining effort, especially in terms of forecasting the dollar amounts. We've gotten pretty good at adjusting rates because we have a lot of contract workers."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the completeness of the standard, underlying metamodel."
"I like that it's an enterprise environment. I can look across everything that's going on and have a sense of what is going on within the organization."
"The most valuable feature for me is the ease and customizability of reporting."
"Enterprise One provides end-to-end work management for the full spectrum of types of work in one tool."
"We do a lot of big projects which are pretty expensive to structure the product development around and see the progress. Every time we start a project, we have to expense the spends for certain amounts. We need some baselines, like predictive versus actual."
"The reporting aspects can be improved, which is one of the reasons why I'm using Qlik Sense. In the older on-prem versions, reporting was lackluster, to say the least. Project Online has a better handle on that. However, we will still be using Qlik Sense. We're also looking at an add-on app from a company called OnePlan that adds some additional functionality where Microsoft is not as clean in its approach for things such as portfolio management and some of the trends analysis."
"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 price of the solution could be reduced."
"Microsoft is going to integrate the Co-Pilot features into Microsoft Project. The AI feature is an additional feature. It can look at the plan and identify risks early on from any part of your project."
"The solution must provide Agile and AI features."
"It would be better if the solution had some more training or resources available for a person who is new to Microsoft Project Server."
"I'd like it if we could divide out the project calendars. On one project server, we might follow five projects or more at one time, and we'd like to see all of the items at once so that it becomes a long loop, but one where we can identify different projects in tandem and then focus on which we need to at the time. While I only have visibility into one, I'd like to see several at a time."
"Microsoft Project Server's user interface is pretty average, and sometimes it can have bugs."
"Monday is one of the more expensive tools available."
"While I appreciate the templates, some of them are extremely complex and not as tailored to non-profit work so they required quite a bit of customizing (but worth the trouble)."
"If you want to drag a task or rearrange them, it's quite tricky, especially on the app."
"I'd love it if there was an instant messenger built into the product so I could talk with other teammates live in-product, as opposed to needing another solution like Slack, Google for chat, or Signal."
"There are no missing features that I can think of."
"We need more cross-API integration with creative apps in the Adobe Suite and other communication platforms."
"If we could add a new feature to draw the plan as a chart and note priority via color, that would be great."
"We'd like more automation."
"The reporting is absolutely shocking. It's not good reporting and requires improvement."
"I would suggest for the request module that they open up the fields and columns so it's like we are doing our work in the work module. You can't do that with today. We also have to make sure that the fields can go both ways with the request and work modules. Including fields in the column sets would be helpful, because today they only use attributes."
"The resource area needs improvement. The improvements that have been made recently in the later versions have been good improvements, but I think there are some more improvements needed there."
"Configuring the UI in the content management system is too elaborate and too time-consuming."
"Sometimes within the application, when you pull a report, it takes awhile performance-wise for the reports to pull up."
"The out-of-the-box reports, as far as I can tell, are weak. We've had to build a lot of reports using Power BI, which we connected to it."
"The reporting capability and access to the fields for our system administrators to have access to the data without having to pay Enterprise One to get the data that's needed to create custom reports for management to create reports need improvement."
"It is a bit of a rigid system."
