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.

Cons

"This is a good product but we have struggled with stability from time to time. The service has stopped intermittently and it has been difficult to find a reason why."
"We want to expand to the local level where we lack strong IT expertise, we are considering making it more user-friendly."
"The product is difficult to use for complex projects."

"It is not updated in real-time. Sometimes it, therefore, is not accurate."
"The product's UI is not very user-friendly."

"It would be nice if the tool can reduce its operational cost. It would make it more competitive."
"I did not care for the platform from a user-friendly perspective because I am more of a construction professional than a computer professional."
