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.

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

"The user interface is very clean."
"The tool has a simple and excellent approach."
"Microsoft Project provides benefits by helping monitor project activities effectively."
"It comes with our Office 365."
"This tool is the most accurate project management tool, allowing me to run a full set of project activities without having to switch between different tools for scheduling and other tasks."
"The features I find the most valuable are scheduling and reporting."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"We have not had any problems with Microsoft's technical support. We are happy with the support."
"The financial side of Procore Project Management is better."

"The coordination between the field and the office without the need to print or physically transport drawings is very valuable."
 

Cons

"Its user experience can be improved while configuring it. Its reporting can also be better. Reporting is not very easy. Reports do not always work. I was trying to download some reports, and they didn't work. I don't know if it was related to the configuration that I was using. I didn't go too deep to check if something was missing."
"The Microsoft license is relatively expensive."
"Its price can be improved."
"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."
"The full suite would be pretty expensive."
"Collaboration is an area that needs improvements."
"I have no idea about the cost because it is a corporate decision."
"I find that MS Project has limited control in comparison to other solutions in the same sphere."
"It is not entirely intuitive, so there are areas 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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The license is a one-time payment but it is expensive."
"The solution has a decent annual license subscription cost, which is not high."
"The cost for an on-premises-based license is a one-time fee, and the cloud-based is an annual payment plan."
"I believe the licensing for the solution is based on an annual fee."
"Pricing-wise, I rate the solution a seven out of ten since I feel it is a bit costly."
"The licensing model is somewhat complex."
"I am not involved with this."
"The license fees for the professional version, which is estimated to be approximately $1,600, and the standard version, which is approximately $1,200, may be considered expensive by some users. This is something that could be improved to make the platform more accessible to a wider audience."
"The tool is cheap and I would rate it a ten out of ten."
