It has gone quite well for us, we managed to reduce costs by purchasing everything from a single provider (Microsoft). Previously we used Google apps for mail, repository and Zoho for projects and tasks, but now we have mail, planner, office software in a single dashboard.

It is a tool that comes included with the licensing that we already pay for along with Office 365 and Exchange. It is very easy to add new users, which we link to our corporate Microsoft account. It helps us reduce user administration and licensing since all those who require this service and others from Microsoft are managed on the same platform.

They are not dynamic like other tools we have used in the past. Obtaining gantt or flow charts is not something that simple. Although it helps the entire organization in general, users who manage projects still use project software especially when we have to follow up with third parties.

Overall I am very satisfied as this help us to finish our task in the convenient manner and also we can keep an eye on the tasks assigned to the team.

Creating, assigning, and arranging taks using Microsoft Planner is very easy. A team can organize their tasks, collaborate and coordinate with ease, and track the status of their tasks assigned with the help of the program.

Limited information in the App and sub tasks can't be assigned and intergrated in Mobile version.

This is an exceptionally good productivity tool.

Simple adoption, ability to track progress across multiple projects with ease, simple on time tracking schedules

Not being able to know my tasks in outlook where linked automatically.

The service is easily available as it's part of Office 365 subscriptions. It integrates fairly well with other Microsoft services and does fulfill the basic task management needs.

Frequent issues with lost updates and such, especially on other browsers than Microsoft Edge. No support for tagging certain users (in comments or such). Poor support for workflows (tasks can be assigned to multiple people at a time, with no other means of ensuring that other people get updates, so it's hard to determine who should act on a certain task at a certain time).

In general, I have used the planner weekly. However, at the beginning, it was a bit difficult to understand, but now it is very simple for me and helps me assign tasks without forgetting to follow up.

I love being able to set the priority level of a task, and especially being able to customize the target dates to suit the user's preferences.

I would seek to improve the way tasks are modified; it can be somewhat complicated if it's your first time working with it.

The reliability of Microsoft Planner is exceptional

Microsoft Planner helps with consolidating necessary functions and tasks when it comes project management and development. Collaborating is more effective through Microsoft Planner.

There is nothing negative to say from my experience using Microsoft Planner but there are more cost-effective alternatives

Overall, Microsoft Planner has improved our teams productivity and workflow. We will continue to use it on a daily basis.

This program has many pros. The ability to attach files, comments, notes, and detailed steps (that can be checked off) within a single task is amazing. Not only can you assign a task to a person(s), you can also sort them by buckets (or categories). We like to celebrate when all our "Buckets" are empty!

Two major things would improve this software tremendously. The ability to schedule a task for a specific time, and the ability to assign the steps within a task to individual users.

we have project planning in it, in the future they should even connect with other projects

very clear, showing what has already been done, who is working on which task and how it is related to each other

only limited number of timelines for the total display

Microsoft Planner is a great solution if you don't need a ton of advance features. It really does a good job as a basic project management solution to keep action items and due dates in check.

I can see the software being limiting if you need more advanced features or have a more complicated project, but it suits my needs just fine.

In the Windows environment, overall the integration is the best and, it allows me to fast-tracking my tasks and projects.

The most value added is the Microsoft integration with their ecosystem.

The poor integration with most of the third-party tools.

Personally, I have used Microsoft Planner as a tool for project management and it has tremendously helped my organization become more efficient, improve our jobs and create more customer satisfaction.

Many of the features included in this software are very easy to navigate. They provide and include the three objective things needed for task management which includes, status progress, time/schedule and task lists. This software like I stated previously is very simple and easy to use which what I like the most about this software. This software includes certain alerts that can prove to be essential to help a business reach their goals and meet deadlines. This software has so many great benefits and many businesses should take advantage.

A feature that I felt was missing includes, not being able to set recurring tasks, only being able to track one task at a time and not being able to see who is assigned to each task. Not being able to set recurring task and only being able to track one task at a time creates more busy tedious work and takes the efficiency away to the entire task management. If a company isn't able to see who is currently assigned to a task, it makes management's role more difficult assigning tasks and being able to oversee team availibility.

Overall is say this is a must have when an office or a business has tasks and projects that their employees engage in. With the ability to manage the program with ease and the ability to track the productivity of the employees with said tasks and projects helps out as well.Don't hesitate to get this and try it out, I am sure you will keep using it as we have!

Hands down amazing. Very simple and easy to integrate with your systems. Easy to set up and use and pretty straight-forward options and controls.The amount of control you have when making tasks and assigning them is absolutely amazing. Being able to track so much and see when stuff has been missed and not completed.

This is really more so when using MS Planner on your company mobile device. Sometimes it gets confusing when you have many tasks and group tasks. They get shown differently on the mobile device and this leads to some tasks being missed completely and ignored. As long as you take your time though and check all the folders and swipe to check the tabs for other tasks you should be fine. The desktop version definitely lays it out way better!

The toll is fantastic and can be use in all areas, my team is using it and the participation in broad since the integration with teams is perfect

Easy to setup, perfect integration with Microsoft tools works perfectly combined with forms and power automate.

Integration with power bi is not that simple, I would like a power automate action that refresh an entire table instead of adding columns and updating completed task

I often use Planner for my Programs and projects, including personal. It is an excellent option for Microsoft users to improve the way of tracking their tasks.

Integration with other Office 365 tools.

I wish that this tool can adapt the copy & paste feature when you try to make a checklist with many items from one external file or app.

Actually mine PM came with an idea of implementing Microsoft Planner to our daily work. Planner works fine, filtering and file sharing works great (mostly).

Different functionalities if you using via Teams or web browser (browser is definitely better option). And it also made a chaos on our Sharepoint. Saves all files in root directory by default.

For some time before finding Planner I had wished for a tool that allowed me to remotely monitor how my team members were progressing against their to do lists without having to nag and ask them directly. Not only does Planner allow you to do this but it can create goals and objectives for people and allow managers to monitor their productivity. Asides from this you can also create project mapping tools and upload all the relevant files for a project, assigning smaller tasks to different team members.

It took some time to convince my team of its benefits. It's probably more useful for managers than team members. It can also make an additional layer of activity for team members to regularly check which some may find overbearing and not helpful.

Overall Is is a compatible software for normal scale projects for creation of documents in a professional manner.

I like the way it allows me to select a template for my document creations and customize it the way I want. Also there are lots of templates to choose. Graphical representation is very much user friendly. Integration of data from another apps is also an additional advantage.

It is difficult to open document in other software which does not support MS Publisher. Export options are quite less.

Microsoft Planner is very userfriendly and easy to use which makes it easier to collaborate with others on projects.The interface is simple which makes it easy to understand what is being done, also I like how it integrates with other Microsoft products, such as Office 365, OneDrive, Sharepoint and others which makes it easier to share tasks with my team.

Generally Microsoft Planner has been great for us but there are some features that could be added for example, it does not have a Gantt chart so some of our team have had to use a third party solution that offers this which breaks the integration slighty so this could be something to be added in future and another is that it would be more challenging to have assigned tasks for persons outside of our organization who does not have an account with our company.

we use it for mini project management or small assignments within our team and so far it is worth every penny spend.

user friendly tool, almost any user can use it without training, no expertise needed at all

No controls and validations, cannot handle complex scenarios in task management, not having much options of reporting

MS Planner is a daily used kanban planner for us to track progress and keeps our employees informed.

MS Planner is fully integrated into the Office365 suite. Next to this, adding items is very fast and easy to do because of the low amount of required fields.

MS Planner sometimes has a disturbance so that changes are not immediately visible. The page needs to be reloaded to add changes or see changes.

We've started using it because it's part of our company Microsoft Suite.Due to its limits, we've switched then to more advanced collaboration tools.

One good feature, if you use Microsoft Outlook, is the fact that it's integrated with Microsoft Outlook and therefore is allows you to synchronize the tasks and the different action points.

It's quite limited in terms of features and functionalities.It's good enough, as collaboration tool to be used to assign different tasks to the team members.

Planner has allowed us to track where we are on projects and ensure that we can work to deadlines as well as ensuring everything is covered. Planner allows us to see who is completing what tasks and gives an element of risk management control.

Easy to use and works with collaborative virtual working for teams. Can be used within MS Teams environment which helps streamline processes.

Nothing major to dislike about the product. It can be viewed as simple however this is the beauty for mixed abilith teams

Planner has helped me be organized knowing what I have to do in each activity, also, I have it in my phone's home page, so easily I know what I have to do, when a task is due and know what I did on previous activities.

I have to do a lot of things at the same time, planner helps me keep track of on what stage I'm in each activity.

It's not what I like the least, but it would be nice to know when each task was completed and not just the global activity.

It is a platform to use, you can always be online on your computer or cell phone. Simple, didactic and well-structured handling.

I don't use the app's notifications part much and the collaboration of this tool with others in Microsoft 365

For task management it is a super good tool, it is very complete and the integration with 365 due to being from the same manufacturer makes it one of the most complete and easy on the market

What we like most about this tool is that we can integrate it with the complete Microsoft suite, that is, 365, a set of tools that make tasks easy to manage, assign and administer.

It is a very good tool but I feel that it would be more complete if we could assign tickets and manage projects in a more complete way
