Microsoft Project Server Reviews

Most of the servers from Microsoft are used because of internal stakeholders' demands. With Dynamics 365, my company used an ERP tool. My company uses Microsoft Project Server as a tool to run various projects.

The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the tool's reporting is very good. The tool helps with better project management, allowing you to plan projects.

The product's UI is not very user-friendly. From an improvement perspective, I want the tool to offer a user-friendly UI. Microsoft should attempt to match the capabilities offered by the other players in the market.

Microsoft Project Server has issues with SharePoint, providing a not-so-user-friendly experience to users. The aforementioned area can be considered for improvement in the product.

The high cost of the product is an area of concern. The product's price could be made lower.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for five to six years. My company provides the solution to our customers.

It is a very stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.

It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Most of the company's customers prefer JIRA.

The solution's technical support is very good. The response from the product's support team takes less than twenty-four hours.

The product's initial setup phase is easy. It is not easy to work around the product.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

The solution's deployment takes less than five minutes.

The product is expensive.

For scheduling and resource management of our company's projects, we use JIRA and Microsoft Project Server.

The reporting and analytics part of the product is very good.

The integration capability of Microsoft Project Server is phenomenal, and it serves as one of the reasons why the product has been holding up in a good way till now in the market.

For certain use cases, Microsoft Project Server is a good product. I would recommend the product to others who plan to use it since it is good when it comes to analytics and reporting.

The value or positive impact of the use of the product stems from the fact that it degrees with other products like Office 365 and other Microsoft solutions. Microsoft Project Server has been in the market for a long time. Over a period of time, I have seen a lot of features introduced in Microsoft Project Server. I believe that the product still has room for improvement.

I rate the overall tool an eight out of ten.

We use the solution for project consolidation and project portfolio management.

I found the portfolio management valuable.

Resource management has room for improvement because it uses a lot of resources. We used to use Star BI, and everything else was an additional cost to our business. We also had to pay extra money for reports.

I've worked with Microsoft Project Server for ten years.

I rate the solution's stability a five out of ten because we had major issues with the Sharepoint part. The problem was not with the Project Server.

I rate the solution's scalability a ten out of ten. The solution is meant for medium-sized enterprises.

The online support is useless. It goes into a loop. For example, if you go into "options," it sends you back. You go into this constant loop of trying options. The online support is terrible.

The initial setup for Microsoft Project Server is complex.

We implemented the solution in-house.

I rate the pricing a one out of ten because the price is way too high. You need five enterprise server licenses, then an SQL Server in addition to that.

We used some of the functions, but part of the reason we stopped using it was because of the cost. We chose an on-prem deployment because of problems with bandwidth. I wanted to perform software backups, but the connectivity was down, so my whole operation would stop if I went on the cloud.

I rate Microsoft Project Server a seven out of ten. I love the solution and enjoy working with it, but the cost is an issue, and the documentation is terrible.

The main use case was related to task management, involving the assignment of tasks across departments. It provided visibility into individual performance, allowing for team member invitations, and monitored key performance indicators.

Our experience with Microsoft Project Server wasn't very positive, and due to high demand, over 70% of employees requested to stop using it. They encountered technical difficulties and faced challenges with the customer helpdesk. Getting in touch with a representative for assistance was a prolonged and frustrating process.

One notable positive aspect is its effective project-tracking capabilities.

Remote usage and tracking pose challenges, requiring navigation through numerous technical details and troubleshooting. This inconvenience sometimes leads to abandoning the task on the device and waiting until the next workday to resume operations. Improvements are needed in the technical support process, aiming for a better user experience. The current process, when encountering difficulties, should be more user-friendly, streamlined, and efficient. Quick and accessible customer support is crucial, especially when seeking assistance during work hours.

I have been working with it for eleven years.

The stability was consistently problematic and we experienced frequent ups and downs with the MS Network, encountering issues like lagging and having to restart the system. At times, the problems were more severe, requiring a full computer restart due to the software freezing and affecting the entire computer screen. While these issues didn't occur daily, they were a recurring problem, happening quite often. I would rate it four out of ten.

I would describe it as moderate for my team. It's manageable, but it doesn't meet our expectations fully. On a scale of one to ten, I would rate it a five. We have approximately three thousand users working with it.

Our experience with its customer support services wasn't satisfactory at all. I would rate it two out of ten.

Negative

Asana and monday.com provide faster customer service responses compared to MS Project. Among them, monday.com stands out for its promptness, while both surpass MS Project in responsiveness. This highlights the need for MS Project to enhance its support system and streamline the user experience in handling technical challenges. MS Project's speed falls below expectations; it's notably slow and often requires reloading. The dashboard is not user-friendly, leading to considerable time spent on training people to use it effectively. In contrast, Asana and monday.com stand out at the top of the league in terms of speed and user-friendliness.

The initial setup was notably complex, in contrast to Asana and monday.com, which offer more simplicity and user-friendliness.

For those looking to work in real-time and seeking a faster and more accessible project management solution, I strongly recommend considering top project management software. Opting for cloud-based solutions with features for both project and portfolio management is crucial. There are several options available, such as monday.com and Asana, and even tools like Trello and others. Overall, I would rate it four out of ten.

New resources working on the development site as project managers need to deploy some services and install the project on Microsoft Project Server. And I go to the yeah. They can use the online portal or the desktop version of the solution through an email login.

Microsoft Project Server is a scalable solution.

The solution's desktop version is not compatible with the MacBook.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for ten years.

I rate Microsoft Project Server an eight out of ten for stability.

Around 20 users are using the solution in our organization. Since our client's environment is going to increase for development purposes, we plan to increase the number of users to 35.

Microsoft Project Server's initial setup is easy.

We pay an annual licensing fee for the solution.

We use the latest version of Microsoft Project Server.

Mostly, every resource in my company has a project on Microsoft Project Server. Most of our resources use the online version of the solution, while some use the desktop version.

I would recommend Microsoft Project Server to other users.

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

I use Microsoft Project Server for basic product deployments involving API.

The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is stable to use, especially since I work with Microsoft for an extended period. Microsoft Project Server is pretty convenient for me to use since I don't have to pay for it.

There are certain shortcomings in the documentation part where improvements are required. Microsoft should release some basic documentation on use cases to the public so that anyone who wants to learn more about the product can learn about it through the documentation available on Microsoft's websites.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for a week or two.

It is a stable solution.

It is a scalable solution.

Around 100 people use Microsoft Project Server.

The initial setup of Microsoft Project Server is easy.

If the codes and everything else related to the deployment process are ready, then the completion of the deployment phase would hardly take 20 to 25 minutes.

The solution is deployed on the cloud.

Microsoft Project Server provides users with all the tools necessary for deployment, so you don't need to seek any external help to install it.

There are some payments related to the licensing cost of Microsoft Project Server.

I recommend the solution to those who plan to use it.

I rate the overall product an eight out of ten.

Currently, we are helping a government entity with their PMO portfolio. They have many departments and streams. The main Microsoft Project Server use case for them is managing the planning for all the projects within the workflows, monitoring the projects inside the dashboards of the PMO and processing all the workflows for the project initiation, charter, and deliverables.

There are many valuable features of this solution. It is very advanced and once you understand and learn how to use it, it can be quite powerful. The whole package can be quite powerful. Inside of Microsoft Project Server, you not only have in-house development solutions, but also the workflow engine. You can create templates, pages, and users. The web part is very straightforward and even without any development knowledge, you can create any page you want aside from the workflows. This is fantastic.

The solution should be made more collaborative. Currently, we are using Microsoft Project Server alone, without the involvement of a team. In other words, we are not collaborating with the whole team within the solution and that is a minus. 

I would also like to see an integration with Amazon's project management solution. As of right now, there is no integration. We have a link only between the Amazon project management solution and the planner activities. This is very basic and we need some advanced cooperation options.

I have been using Microsoft Project Server for four years.

I would rate the stability of this solution an eight, on a scale from one to 10, with one being the worst and 10 being the best. My opinion is that the cloud version of this solution is quite stable.

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

The main problem with this solution is collaboration between teams. If you want to involve the other teams you'll have to buy Project Light servers or enable the project team members to collaborate inside the plan itself. This is an extra cost to the standard license. We also have a license for the planner and the teams, but we need some integration between all of them.

The professional and premium licenses are quite expensive.

The solution can be very slow. Sometimes, it takes minutes to open a page that shares the dashboards. 

In addition, there is no training material and there needs to be more awareness training. There's no online help to aid users through the process.

The first thing I would say to anyone trying to use this solution is that you need to understand its capabilities and functionalities before trying to use it. If you are not aware of the capabilities and features, you are using a Bugatti like a normal car. You need to get the right training and educate all of the project managers on how they can utilize the main functionality and services of the solution.

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

Everyone in the company has projects, and everyone needs approvals from everyone in the company. They need to handle approvals, rejections, cost estimates, project timelines, et cetera. This is an investment company, and all of the projects and related items are handled by Microsoft Projects and Power BI. This solution allows the CEO to see what's happening in subsidiaries in the company. 

The solution has lots of features, and they are used by various people. They are all useful and important. 

It's a stable, reliable product.

The solution scales well. 

Technical support has been helpful and responsive.

The initial setup is complex. 

There need to be more tutorials available to users. It's very robust software with lots of features. If you don't know the shortcuts or the application, it's more difficult. Having training and tutorials would make learning it and accessing features easier. 

I've been using the solution for one year.

It's stable and reliable. The performance is good. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

It is a scalable solution. It's not an issue at all. 

We've used Fast Track. The Fast Track in Microsoft is a very good service. Their support is also very good. There are partners here in Egypt, and they are good partners. We have been satisfied with the level of service on offer.

We have a hybrid setup, which makes the implementation a little bit more complex. It took us a while to set everything up.

I'd recommend the solution to others. We've been happy with the solution in general. I'd rate it eight out of ten.

We use the tool in our IT-related projects. All IT efforts are managed using the Microsoft Project Server. Every week, we have a project status meeting where we demonstrate the project's status using the tool. We track tasks and progress, assign owners, and monitor milestones and all project-related work using it. 

We sometimes need support from the IT department for installing and deploying the Microsoft Project Server. It is not user-friendly, and users cannot install it themselves.

I have been using the product for four to five years. 

I rate the tool's stability an eight out of ten. 

My company has 30-35 users. 

We contact local partners for support, and their support is okay. 

The tool's deployment is not difficult. We centrally deploy the Microsoft Project Server for the project owners, and we manage projects in our data center using it. 

Our ROI is good. 

We have an enterprise agreement with Microsoft, and our licensing is based on the agreement. 

I would recommend the tool to others and rate it a ten out of ten. We use Microsoft Teams for collaboration.

We previously used a different solution called Clarity. We switched to Microsoft Project Server because Clarity was an expensive solution.

Microsoft Project Server is relatively cheaper than other products. We have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Microsoft Project Server. The solution's pricing is reasonable.

We are using the latest version of Microsoft Project Server. I would recommend Microsoft Project Server to other users. Microsoft Project Server gives you value for money.

Overall, I rate Microsoft Project Server a seven out of ten.
