Nurul Asyikin Wahab - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient project management with robust data tracking and an easy setup
When I have too many elements or items in a project, it becomes cumbersome, especially during printing. Non-technical users do not need all the data, so it's primarily for technical personnel. Without guidance, it's challenging to use the app. With guidance and expert knowledge, it becomes manageable, however, it's not for non-technical teams. The worst part is handling too many items, like 1,000 items, which Microsoft Project struggles with, especially when printing. Printing on A3 size is quite burdensome, so I prefer viewing it on a tablet or computer. On a tablet or phone, I can see the full project elements depending on the screen size.
Richard Davies - PeerSpot reviewer
Effective project coordination bridges field and office with real-time updates
It helps with project management. All the drawings and any changes to the drawings are uploaded to ensure that my team is looking at the most current versions. There is also reporting, allowing for the creation of reports in the field, including pictures and safety reports. You name it The…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"They have begun to improve with the new cloud integration."
"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 pricing is pretty good on the enterprise agreement we have."
"It is easy to use and pretty intuitive. User interfaces have stayed the same for the most part for the last 20 years. So, there is a familiarity."
"It is a complete and all-rounded enterprise product. From a portfolio management perspective and an individual project management perspective, it is a corporate-wide project management product. It can be used for resource planning, financial planning, task planning, etc."
"The user interface is very clean."
"Dependencies (not typically effectively used in "Agile" techniques) allow understanding of actual project status and challenges."
"The features I find the most valuable are scheduling and reporting."
"Other companies have been using it for years, and it is a very stable platform."
"The coordination between the field and the office without the need to print or physically transport drawings is very valuable."
"The financial side of Procore Project Management is better."
 

Cons

"The full suite would be pretty expensive."
"We'd like the solution to have better integration with other third-party and open-source solutions."
"I'd like the solution to be less expensive."
"I find that MS Project has limited control in comparison to other solutions in the same sphere."
"I find the setup a little bit cumbersome."
"Microsoft Project should include more visualization, queries to filter out data, and more reporting structures."
"When I have too many elements or items in a project, it becomes cumbersome, especially during printing."
"The licensing cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"It takes time to use it. It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."
"It would be nice if the tool can reduce its operational cost. It would make it more competitive."
"It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchase perpetual licenses due to the high cost of subscriptions, which are about 1,000 Australian dollars."
"You only need a Team's license in order to use Microsoft Project within Teams, which is very helpful."
"It gets expensive when having to add all of the plugins and everything that you need."
"The cost for an on-premises-based license is a one-time fee, and the cloud-based is an annual payment plan."
"The licensing model is somewhat complex."
"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"The pricing is based on a licensing model and is reasonable."
"I am not involved with this."
"The tool is cheap and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
