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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Microsoft Project integrates well with the Microsoft Office family of applications. It has plugins that interact with it and you can use it with Microsoft Teams. We can use plugins to communicate with JIRA, Projectplace, and Planview. It's not widely used in the company, of course, but it's something that can interact with the official tools that we have."
"It has a nice interface that aligns with Excel and Word."
"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."
"I especially like the reporting tools, which are visual tools and offer visual reports."
"The most valuable features of this solution are dependency management, milestone progress, multiple resource rates, and RAG views."
"Microsoft offers good support."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Project are you can create critical paths pretty easily, and you can import from an Excel spreadsheet to your task list as you create it during your working sessions with your team."
"Dependencies (not typically effectively used in "Agile" techniques) allow understanding of actual project status and challenges."
"Zoho Sprints is a defect-logging tool."
"Zoho Sprints can be integrated with other Zoho products, providing additional functionality."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Zoho Sprints is stable with minimal downtime."
 

Cons

"The technical support from Microsoft rates as a four out of ten."
"Microsoft Project has much room for improvement. The solution is still stuck where it was in 2013. Not much has changed since then. There is a lot that can be changed in the enterprise segment."
"This solution needs more customization."
"It is positioned at the more high end. Sometimes it's more complicated than we need."
"The tool's deployment is complex. Integration and automation also need to be improved."
"It needs to be more comprehensive."
"I would like to see a direct integration of Microsoft Project with AutoCAD. It will make client presentations easy."
"We'd like to have more resource allocation and monitoring features."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
"The interface of Zoho Sprints is an area with certain shortcomings."
"Zoho Sprints is a confusing tool, and you need to get used to it."
"There is a need to improve the charts and velocity calculations in Zoho Sprints."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has a decent annual license subscription cost, which is not high."
"I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"I believe the licensing for the solution is based on an annual fee."
"The licensing model is somewhat complex."
"You only need a Team's license in order to use Microsoft Project within Teams, which is very helpful."
"We purchase perpetual licenses due to the high cost of subscriptions, which are about 1,000 Australian dollars."
"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 price of Zoho Sprints is between 10 to 25 USD per user per month."
"Zoho Sprints is a more cost-effective solution than Jira."
