Unlock comprehensive reporting and management with robust data extraction
The major advantage for me in using Microsoft Project Server is the SQL Server component. Using Power BI and SQL Server, I can extract a lot more data.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing a one out of ten because the price is way too high."
"There are some payments related to the licensing cost of Microsoft Project Server."
"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."
"There is a licensing cost."
"There is an annual license required for this solution."
"It has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter."
"I would rate the price a six out of ten."
"The technical assistance is expensive but the solution is an open source software."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
"The price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
