Visual project planning enhances collaboration and proactive management
The dependency management in Microsoft Project is highly valuable, as it visually maps dependencies and impacts within a project plan. The online version facilitates easy collaboration without having to share multiple versions of the file. The Gantt chart is also a very powerful tool for a visual presentation of sequences, critical paths, and execution processes, which simplifies comprehension for users.

Has improved workflow accuracy and team autonomy across multiple departments
I find several features of Process Street especially valuable. Dynamic workflow management allows me to update processes “in-flight” without causing disruption. Automation capabilities have streamlined onboarding, client delivery, and project milestones. Zapier integrations have unified multiple platforms, including ClickUp, the CRM, and Front, ensuring seamless data flow. The tool supports scalability, managing 20–30 web builds simultaneously with predictable outcomes. Its customizable templates make it easy for teams to create or adapt workflows for new clients or services. Cross-department flexibility means that it is used successfully in HR, finance, marketing, and project management. Accountability tools, such as task assignments and transparent tracking, ensure that nothing falls behind.

"Microsoft Project Server is a powerful tool I've used for years."
"The solution is scalable and easy to expand."
"The solution, overall, is excellent for project planning."
"It's stable and reliable."
"This is a scalable solution. It is easy to set up and to add clusters to your environment."
"Process Street is a cornerstone of Accentuate’s operational excellence; it powers every aspect of the business, from onboarding and HR to client project management and marketing execution."
"Process Street is a cornerstone of Accentuate’s operational excellence; it powers every aspect of the business, from onboarding and HR to client project management and marketing execution."

Cons

"We want to expand to the local level where we lack strong IT expertise, we are considering making it more user-friendly."
"In terms of tech support, it took a long time for them to resolve a ticket."
"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's synchronization with Jira Projects should be improved."
"Microsoft doesn't always have all the answers, and they rely more on communities. Their support tends to decline when not supporting cloud solutions, and there is often an attempt to upsell alternate products rather than solve problems."
"The initial setup was complex."
"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."
"I am not convinced that the pricing model is the right one."
"Process Street could benefit from expanded in-app analytics or deeper native integrations with CRMs and project management platforms to reduce reliance on third-party tools such as Zapier."
"I would like to see enhanced built-in compliance reporting dashboards designed specifically for small firms."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."
"It is on the expensive side."
"It's not subscription-based, we purchased the on-premises version."
"The product is expensive."
"I'm not quite sure about the licensing costs. We're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of about 80,000 to 90,000 a year for our current on-prem because we handle our own licensing. As far as Project Online is concerned, we're still trying to get a good handle on that. It looks like it is going to be in a neighborhood of about 120,000 to 150,000 a year, but we're getting a lot more capability out of it."
"Microsoft Project Server is an expensive solution. Small businesses will not be able to afford it."
"There are some payments related to the licensing cost of Microsoft Project Server."
"There is a licensing cost."
