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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The scheduling and the customization are very powerful."
"I would recommend Microsoft Project Server to other organizations and would rate the solution ten out of ten."
"It's fine to navigate for a layperson."
"Deliverables List: Most useful to enable meaningful status reporting at an enterprise level."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is easy to understand and navigate."
"I like the way you can build the schedule by the Don't Start Before or Don't Start After values. You can use it to build your schedule based on how you change your dates. This is how it actually builds the schedule."
"The level of customization is significant, and there are ample resources available online about how to use it."
"We use the tool in our IT-related projects. All IT efforts are managed using the Microsoft Project Server. Every week, we have a project status meeting where we demonstrate the project's status using the tool. We track tasks and progress, assign owners, and monitor milestones and all project-related work using it."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to be much more stable."
"It may be considered expensive, but it has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter."
"There are formatting issues that haven't been resolved. This needs improvement as it's annoying."
"The solution is stable for small projects but when used for larger projects it can become heavy and slow to load and operate."
"The stability and performance in enterprise-grade farm implementations needs to be improved."
"Collaboration within the tool is lacking when you compare it to online or cloud-based tools."
"It would be useful if the solution allowed us to share files or project schedules. You may get that with the cloud version. However, it's not available on the on-premises versions."
"The reports need to be improved. It's complicated."
"The platform's initial data entry process is time-consuming. It could be more streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is a subscription model for different types of users for different types of roles."
"Microsoft Project Server is more expensive than other solutions on the market. We purchase the license annually."
"We pay an annual licensing fee for the solution."
"There are some payments related to the licensing cost of Microsoft Project Server."
"I rate the pricing a one out of ten because the price is way too high."
"It has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter."
