Mouloud Fourali - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Digital Research Alliance of Canada
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.

Centralized project documents have improved remote collaboration but task workflows remain confusing
Regarding Procore Project Management's task scheduling feature for reducing project delays, I did not use the task management feature very much because it seemed difficult to set up. I did not care for the platform from a user-friendly perspective because I am more of a construction professional than a computer professional. Some of the features were hard to navigate through. I also found that true with some of the Whole Foods employees who were trying to use it. They were confused on how to approve things and get things completed in the task management. Additionally, some of the change order approval processes were unclear. They did not know how to approve them. When uploading a task, it was confusing to identify who was the approver of that document because the responsibility was doubled up. The task management section and the distribution list along with the project approval person designation were difficult and confusing to navigate through.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The stability of the 2019 version is quite good."
"The best features of Microsoft Project Server are the online collaborative working capabilities, which enable collaborative online work."
"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."
"Demand workflow Resource management SharePoint site integration"
"Dashboarding of information has given the organization insight, so we can move to be more proactive versus reactive."
"It has improved the structured PMO process and implementation in our organization."
"The solution is scalable and easy to expand."
"It is well-established, reliable, and compatible."
"The financial side of Procore Project Management is better."
"What I appreciate about using Procore Project Management is the convenience of putting everything in one location, where pictures, schedules, blueprints, drawings, change orders, and all documents are accessible in one platform."
"The coordination between the field and the office without the need to print or physically transport drawings is very valuable."
"Other companies have been using it for years, and it is a very stable platform."
 

Cons

"We are on the on-prem version. The cloud, however, gives more regular updates that we can take advantage of."
"This solution could improve by adding integration with Primavera schedules to allow the reading and management of them."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"The solution's synchronization with Jira Projects should be improved."
"It should be more agile and more flexible when it comes to customization."
"The main drawback of Microsoft Project Server is that it is offline. Having it online would offer better access to other managers."

"It takes time to use it. It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."
