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.""The solution is well established and runs very accurately.""Microsoft Project is one of the only solutions you can use in just about any industry. It's difficult to do that with most other project management tools. There is a lot of flexibility within the product assets. Most sectors can utilize Microsoft Project successfully because it doesn't have any generic adapters.""The standard project planning features and charts are most valuable.""Being able to get a milestone schedule or a breakdown out of it is valuable. It can integrate into Visio, which is helpful.""The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's GUI is very good...The product's scalability is good.""The solution is stable.""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."

"SAP is gradually introducing more flexibility and customization options to the system, allowing users to adapt it to their specific needs.""The integration portion with SAP models is valuable."

Cons
"The solution is currently a bit slow and can be faster.""What could have been better is the integration with Office 365 so that if you're discussing a project on Teams or there's an email related to the project, it can be tagged to the project in Microsoft Project. That functionality is currently not there.""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.""They could also work on integrations with solutions like Teams. We have all of our project files in Teams and it is much easier to use for communication than MS Project, but there is no integration of the two solutions.""We need more integration with Microsoft Teams and other collaboration tools.""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.""It's hard to reach technical people to get the help you need.""I would like to see more integrations with another software tool."

"It would be valuable if SAP integrated seamlessly with some products like Jira and Bitbucket.""The system is old, so there are several issues that arise when we fetch data from integrated systems. Sometimes the data gets stuck, and there are instances where we need to access multiple pieces of information simultaneously."
