"The solution, overall, is excellent for project planning."

"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."

"Project management and work collaboration solution with amazing scalability and stability. Its user interface is modern and easy to understand, with drag and drop functionality."

"EPM 2010 UI seems a bit dated now that 2016 is available."

"The check-in, check-out feature makes Microsoft Project Server pretty slow or cumbersome to use."

"There are certain shortcomings in the documentation part where improvements are required."
"It may be considered expensive."
"Work needs to be done on collaboration with SharePoint."
"Trello was a little complicated initially because we didn't know how to use it, create a product backlog, or define the work items."
"Pricing can be improved."

"There aren't as many tracking tools."
