Microsoft Project Reviews

Our company uses Microsoft Project primarily for project planning and milestone tracking.

The tool helps us to check milestones. After doing tasks, our team updates them. Regarding functionalities in Microsoft Project, the number one feature is reminders. With so many projects, sometimes you forget; some projects might slip up or disappear. This feature is very useful.

Additionally, we can track the tasks we can do within a particular project, which is another feature we use. Lastly, we use the tracking function to set deadlines and see what is being accomplished and what remains. The design team uses these features. 

The tool's integration was easy and seamless. We also use it to get a summary of the entire business.

I would like to see a direct integration of Microsoft Project with AutoCAD. It will make client presentations easy. 

I have been working with the product since 2015. 

I rate the tool's stability a nine out of ten. 

I rate the solution's scalability a six out of ten. It's a bit complex to ask some new users. In terms of scalability, for example, if you have two projects or departments you want to merge, you might face challenges. You might have to type them in manually and do manual merging. So, if something could be done to simplify this, it would be great. My company has around 15 users. 

The tool's deployment is easy. 

I rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten.                        

I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

We use Microsoft Project for application lifecycle management (ALM), use case definition, follow-up, and project management activity.

The most valuable feature of Microsoft Project is status reporting. Microsoft Project is easy to use and has a user-friendly UI.

Microsoft Project should include more visualization, queries to filter out data, and more reporting structures.

I have been using Microsoft Project for two years.

Microsoft Project is a stable solution.

I rate Microsoft Project a nine out of ten for stability.

Microsoft Project is a scalable solution. Around 50 to 60 users use the solution extensively in our organization.

We implemented the solution through an in-house team.

Microsoft Project is an expensive solution.

Microsoft Project is deployed on the cloud in our organization. I would recommend Microsoft Project to other users.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Project a nine out of ten.

I use the solution for scheduling and planning.

The solution helps us stay on track with our project and insures we meet our deliverables and requirements.

The reporting and national resource capacity planning are the most valuable features.

The collaboration has room for improvement.

I would like to request the addition of risk management and financial management to the solution.

The cost has room for improvement.

The initial setup has room for improvement.

I have been using the solution for ten years.

I give the scalability an eight.

The initial setup is complex.

The solution is expensive.

I give the solution an eight out of ten.

I recommend the solution.

I primarily use the solution for project planning. 

The product is very easy to use. It makes it easy to present projects as well. 

It's an easy solution to set up.

The solution can scale.

It is stable.

We'd like the solution to have better integration with other third-party and open-source solutions. We have trouble importing and exporting to other tools. 

I've been using the solution for two to five years. 

It's a stable solution. It's reliable. We haven't had any problems with it. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution scales well. It is very easy to extend it. 

We have about five to ten users on the solution. At this point, we do not have plans to increase usage. We might in the future. 

I have not used technical support. I've never needed assistance. 

I have used a different solution previously.

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward. 

It is quick to set up. It took about an hour to deploy.

We have five people that are able to handle deployment and maintenance tasks. Typically, we have two or three available. 

We handled the deployment in-house. We did not need any outside assistance. 

We pay a monthly licensing fee for the solution. I'm not sure of the exact cost of the product.

I am not sure if we are using the latest version of the solution. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

I would rate it eight out of ten. 

I am a project manager, so my primary use cases for Microsoft Project are the creation of a work breakdown structure – the time and schedule of the project – and following up on it. I also create reports. We're not using the enterprise solution and are not connected to a PMO. 

The features I find the most valuable are scheduling and reporting. I mostly do short projects that last three to six months. These are simple projects with a limited team of three to five members. We do not even do updates through the application. We do updates through meetings. 

The tool currently has a limited number of tutorials now. Those could improve, which would be helpful. 

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. 

I have been using Microsoft Project for about three years.

I would rate the stability of this solution a nine, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

My impression is that scalability is quite good for more complex projects.

We are in a good partnership with their support team. We have an account manager and we have a support team. They're very supportive.

Positive

I tried to use Primavera, but I didn't find it as easy to operate in as MS Project. However, that was an older version. I don't know if they have updated or simplified the application.

I would rate the initial setup of this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. It's not very complicated. Even if you download and use the application for the first time, you can easily find your way.

Overall, I would rate this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best.

We use Microsoft Project in a fairly run-of-the-mill way. Our primary use case for this solution is project management.  

What I find the most valuable about Microsoft Project is the fact that nearly everyone is familiar with it and understands how to use it. This enables us to use the tool with different customers or partners.

I would like to see more integrations with another software tool. The market is more collaborative now, so it is always good to be able to share information between different tools. If a client does not have Microsoft Project, they probably have another one that the solution should have an integration with. 

I have you been working with Microsoft Project for at least 25 years now.

Microsoft Project is really stable. It has been stable for us for years. 

I think Microsoft Project is a scalable solution. 

We have not had any problems with Microsoft's technical support. We are happy with the support. 

We are paying for a yearly license. On a scale of one to 10, with one being cheap and 10 being expensive, I would rate Microsoft Project a nine. 

Microsoft Project is a good tool. It is very easy to integrate and set up.

We primarily use the solution for managing projects. 

The ability to create tasks and structure them and give them hierarchy. 

They now have MS project Online and they have two levels, so it's easier to access what you need and to choose specifically what you'll use. You can start at a lower level, for example, and be more cost-effective and move up if it suits you.

It's easy to set up.

I don't have any comments on where it can be improved. 

The full suite would be pretty expensive.

I've used the solution for many years. 

The stability is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze.

The solution scales well. It's not an issue. 

We're a small organization with a few people using it. 

The solution is simple to set up. It's not overly complex. Especially now, after working with it for so many years, it's very easy.

It's an online tool. From that perspective, there is no maintenance needed.

The pricing is good. You can start at a lower tier and move up as needed. It's reasonably priced to start.

I cannot recall the exact costs. It's comparable to other similar products. 

It would be more expensive all in all as some of the competitors will have more features and other bells and whistles that would not be available with the basic tool of Microsoft, which would be cheaper. If you want a full suite, it will be more expensive.

I'm just a customer and end user.

It would be a straightforward option for people who are already using the Microsoft suite, including Office 365. If you're not a Microsoft shop, it's probably not your tool.

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten based on the cost and features on offer. 

We use Microsoft Project to plan our projects, including some tasks that we need to accomplish. We use JIRA as well. We use a lot of tools to plan our jobs.

The user interface is simple and it helps me in planning what needs to be accomplished.

I am a regular user and for me, it is perfect. I would love to see a mind map feature where you can draw some diagrams of the project. Then you can connect ideas and watch them on a map.

I have been using Microsoft Project for more than five years.

We use a cloud solution and it is transparent for us. We have the perfect client and it saves the data.

I have no idea about the cost because it is a corporate decision. 

I would rate Microsoft Project a nine out of ten.
