Featured Reviews

Improved project scheduling has maximized resource utilization and has reduced delays
I think the licensing structure presents a significant area for improvement. The full features are not offered on the standard E4 license. This becomes problematic when distributing the project plan. I can export the plan as Excel and CSV files, but then I lose all the rich features, including dependency mapping. To recreate all that functionality without proper licensing is challenging. Microsoft Project offers a light version available for free, but when I try to distribute a project plan, it requires separate licensing. Microsoft Project Central used to be more of an enterprise product. Microsoft Project currently focuses on very low-level task management, and it could do much more. I do not see significant advancement happening because there is confusion about where Microsoft Project is heading. I believe Microsoft should bundle the license with Outlook, Teams, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This approach would result in more people using Microsoft Project. That is my opinion on how to improve adoption and the product offering.

Has improved workflow accuracy and team autonomy across multiple departments
I find several features of Process Street especially valuable. Dynamic workflow management allows me to update processes “in-flight” without causing disruption. Automation capabilities have streamlined onboarding, client delivery, and project milestones. Zapier integrations have unified multiple platforms, including ClickUp, the CRM, and Front, ensuring seamless data flow. The tool supports scalability, managing 20–30 web builds simultaneously with predictable outcomes. Its customizable templates make it easy for teams to create or adapt workflows for new clients or services. Cross-department flexibility means that it is used successfully in HR, finance, marketing, and project management. Accountability tools, such as task assignments and transparent tracking, ensure that nothing falls behind.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to break down project phases is most valuable, and being able to align the tasks and reporting with project milestones and progress is also valuable."
"They have begun to improve with the new cloud integration."
"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"
"One of the best features is that it is easy to use."
"It's a scalable product, especially the online version."
"It comes with our Office 365."
"It is a user-friendly solution that we can easily understand."
"The solution is stable."
"Process Street is a cornerstone of Accentuate’s operational excellence; it powers every aspect of the business, from onboarding and HR to client project management and marketing execution."
"Process Street transformed Rent Builder Property Management’s operations by standardizing and automating property onboarding processes, reducing setup time by nearly 75%, and increasing tenant management efficiency by 25% through streamlined communication."
"At Planning Pros, we leveraged Process Street to eliminate manual inefficiencies and compliance risks in our daily operations, with automated client onboarding and built-in compliance checks leading to $20,000 in annual savings and faster processing completed in hours instead of days."
 

Cons

"The product could be more user-friendly in some areas."
"It should be easier to break things. Breaking up the visualization from the task is sometimes a little bit tricky to do. You can do it, but it takes a minute. It's not an easy function to do. The way you have to format it and stuff like that takes a minute."
"Project availability and speed could always be improved."
"I find that MS Project has limited control in comparison to other solutions in the same sphere."
"Microsoft Project currently focuses on very low-level task management, and it could do much more."
"I would like to see more integrations with another software tool."
"Microsoft Project could improve the interface, it should be more intuitive. It could be adjusted a little bit to make it a little easier to use and more user-friendly. It is a very powerful tool and it takes people a while to get used to it."
"I would like to see a direct integration of Microsoft Project with AutoCAD. It will make client presentations easy."
"I would like to see enhanced built-in compliance reporting dashboards designed specifically for small firms."
"Process Street could benefit from expanded in-app analytics or deeper native integrations with CRMs and project management platforms to reduce reliance on third-party tools such as Zapier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not remember the exact cost we paid but usually, they charge per user per month."
"It gets expensive when having to add all of the plugins and everything that you need."
"I am not involved with this."
"Its price could be reduced a little."
"I do not have personal experience with pricing or licensing of this product."
"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"You do not have to invest much in terms of configuring this solution to suit your needs."
"The license is a one-time payment but it is expensive."
