"Microsoft Project's integrated timeline is tied to the project plan almost seamlessly, and you add whatever action item or milestone you choose. All you have to do is set up a column and click on the timeline. It will automatically put it in there and allow you to choose the type, whether it's a bar or if it's a milestone, just pointing out that single milestone"
"The ability to break down project phases is most valuable. Being able to align the tasks and reporting with project milestones and progress is also valuable."
"I like that I can change the task and include different resources related to the task."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Project are the availability of being online and within Teams. My entire team can use it and see it, versus the full Microsoft Projects, such as Project Professional, you need to have a license."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Project is scheduling. The solution is useful on a daily basis."
"The user interface is simple and it helps me in planning what needs to be accomplished."
"It served the purpose. It was pretty user-friendly."
"I especially like the reporting tools, which are visual tools and offer visual reports."
"Marking the status of deliverables is the most useful aspect."
"The analytics view is very powerful with Gantt charts and multiple chart visualizations."
"In short - it keeps a remote asynchronous team in sync."
"The feature that I have found the most valuable is the project labels and organizational tools."
"The ability to export to Excel has been huge for us."
"Since Monday is so flexible, it allows us to maintain projects in our own way."
"Timeline and countdown systems have been great for us as well as the ability to "@" team members in comment sections to have collaborative conversations, give feedback, and share files."
"The free version provides all the utilities that I need."
"Microsoft Project could improve the dates. Sometimes the dates are not aligned. This occurs even when you auto-schedule the dates. We have to go and define the schedule daily this should more easily accessible."
"Microsoft Project has much room for improvement. The solution is still stuck where it was in 2013. Not much has changed since then. There is a lot that can be changed in the enterprise segment."
"I am not that close to it anymore, but I know that there were some cut and paste issues when we were trying to move one group of roles to another, and they used to muck up the interdependencies between the tiers, rows, and other things."
"Collaboration is an area that needs improvements."
"The solution could be more flexible when it comes to integration."
"It would be better if Microsoft Project were included in the DevOps stack. That is, I'd like to see this tool integrated to a different stack of the applications that we normally use in DevOps, such as in Jira, for example, to deploy a different version related to the different tasks that are included in Microsoft Project."
"Its price can be improved."
"In a future release, the dashboard should improve because there isn't one, I had to create my own."
"The Graphic User Interface (GUI) needs improvement."
"Sometimes, I had difficulty moving items from board to board and would have to move them twice to get them to successfully move."
"Automation is often glitchy for us. Maybe we have too many automations set up?"
"I wish the Time Tracking features were a little more robust."
"Some of the automation is having some technical difficulties."
"We would like to have more open boards at one time and more CRM functionalities."
"There was one time that I had used CTRL + C to copy one of the text fields, and accidentally pasted it into all other rows/projects. I know there is an "undo" button you can click on for a few seconds, however, it would be helpful if you could undo it even after it's been a few minutes/hours."
"BCC Outlook integrations could be better."
