Microsoft Project vs Planisware comparison

"I especially like the reporting tools, which are visual tools and offer visual reports."

"The solution is stable."

"The solution is stable."

"The pricing is pretty good on the enterprise agreement we have."

"The most valuable feature is probably the Kanban diagram. People are familiar with the Kanban tools. When they do their scrum meetings, they have that Kanban board where you can see the different tiles for all the queries and move them from left to right. IT is familiar with that because, for development, most of the tools have that capability. It could also be more graphical, like Asana."

"We value all the features. Previously, we used Jenkins for similar purposes, but Microsoft Projects works fine. We're looking to improve integration with different clusters on production and automate various aspects of software development. This includes integration for alerting, monitoring, and pricing purposes, among other things."

"The most valuable feature is the Auto resource leveling tool because it shows students that often, expert resources get over-scheduled, and that dealing with the issue by just using the auto-resource leveling tool would have a large impact on the delivery date."

"The standard project planning features and charts are most valuable."

"The solution is performance-oriented and easily customized accordingly to many areas, such as performance KPI."

"Planisware offers integration with multiple tools and provides a good level of customization."

"There are two things in particular that I enjoy. The first is the portfolio planning section. Another advantage is that it is highly customizable."

"Planisware has introduced Agile concepts, making it capable of Agile management similar to Jira and other Agile tools."

"It stands out by automating the intricate mechanics of project execution, eliminating the need for highly technical individuals to manage and reconfigure models."

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"We have a variety of different modules, but it is mainly used for costs, risks, and resources."

"The technical support could be improved. They are okay, however, they could be much better."

"Its user interface could be a little bit more intuitive. Not everybody has the luxury of going to training and understanding which button does what and the functionality. The user interface should be improved to make it a little bit more intuitive. It is not user-friendly. I've dealt with it for a number of years, so it is not hard for me to figure it out, but you would need a quick reference guide or something to say, "Here are the basics. This is how you do X.""

"Could be more user-friendly, and forecasting could be better."

"I would like to see a direct integration of Microsoft Project with AutoCAD. It will make client presentations easy."

"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."

"If Project had a better mechanism to allow those who are not the project manager to see their own work tasks, that would be of help or of value to us."

"The packaging of Microsoft Project Professional is pretty simple as a product. But, the end-to-end enterprise is complex."

"The solution is currently a bit slow and can be faster."

"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."

"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."

"The UI and UX of Planisware are not that advanced."

"I have experienced some issues, and that’s okay. It tends to be stable when the server's processing power and memory are adequate."

"The biggest con for Planisware is that if you are not a Planisware partner, you don't have access to their functions, making it difficult for beginners and new team members."

"The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."

"More integration is needed with other kinds of products for better collaboration."

"The area that could benefit from improvement in this Planisware is the project management tool. I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is reasonable."

"Pricing-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten since I feel it is a bit costly."

"I do not remember the exact cost we paid but usually, they charge per user per month."

"The solution is expensive."

"Licensing costs vary depending on the user volume. The pricing is good, I'd rate it four out of five."

"It gets expensive when having to add all of the plugins and everything that you need."

"The solution could be less expensive and the cost of scaling is expensive too."

"The solution is expensive and support is an extra cost. There are three license types to choose from, and we only pay for support and cloud services depending on our needs."

"There are training and certification costs."

"It comes with a high cost."
