Microsoft Project Software

Pros

Easy to use/navigate the software, and it's great that it is compatible with other programs that I use.

Cons

When converting files/trying to open it in another program it is not as clear. There are some cheaper alternatives if you're willing to sacrifice a few features.

Better insight across my entire portfolio of projects I manage.

Pros

I truly enjoyed how easy Microsoft PPM was to use with my existing environment at work (microsoft 365 environment)

Cons

I did like the visuals they gave me - but if I was going to be knit picky sometimes it would be difficult to follow visually.

Pros

There are a lot of convenient features that come with this software that helps with project management. You can create projects that include plans, graphs and tasks, and then manage the project by implementing schedules, budgets, task assignments. It is streamlined and is definitely end-to-end.

Cons

It does take some time to figure the software out and learn what it can and can't do, however once that is complete it is pretty straightforward.

Managing projects provided a lot of benefits for us. although it was too big for us as an SME and we left Microsoft Project

Pros

easy to learn
there is a bunch of documents for learning
adequate for medium size projects
supports project management CPM, Pert,...

Cons

filling timesheet is a real disaster and the user faces with so many difficulties
Timesheet reporting doesn't work properly
An admin does not have all the features in the web platform
It's too big for SME's
doesn't support PMBOK especially in procurement management and risk management areas
It's not a specific purpose solution for any industry like oil and gas or automotive

Pros

Advertising: Planning and execution of campaigns. Optimize the portfolios to determine which campaigns should be approved. Create flexible campaign management templates and oversee all aspects, including internal and external resources

Cons

This program does not have the excellent one of being able to measure the productivity of the machines or the personnel of the company. Becoming an important weakness for this product.

This service of the program is very expensive compared to other alternatives that exist in the market, therefore, it is preferable that for a small company do not compare this service because they would be underutilizing the tools that the system offers and spending a money unnecessarily

I would recommend it extensively because it is useful to the final user, to be able to know the tool before it can be acquired and to know the opinion of a true user who takes advantage of each component every day, I am very pleased to participate in this program and thus contribute my experience.

Pros

Generally within the environment where I perform this tool is very useful, because your way of organizing work is excellent, to me as a professional in the area of technology adds incredible benefits, allows me to see tasks in a single presentation, resources, project execution times, remaining time, as well as progress, at the management level it has the advantage of making the most accurate decisions regarding reallocation of resources, time and other elements that intervene in the projects that I control from my area. It is great as all the work team that is under my charge is integrated to the use of this tool and we can be synchronized under the same objectives of the institution.

Cons

Despite being a great tool for project control, there is no way to measure the productivity of the work team or individually, this would help a lot or a lot to give the incentives to achieve jointly, departmentally or individually, even more when you want to highlight the merits of the team. Likewise, the cost of this tool for a medium or small company would be difficult to acquire or would be underused since in small environments the management of the projects would not have as many elements.
However, I am very pleased with the kindnesses I have found in it.

our work team and I, we use it for our work of controlling the construction and engineering works.

Pros

It is very friendly, allows you to take control and communicate online with the entire team. allows to take sub-projects and associate them to the main project

Cons

must improve the export of the data to excel. and the reports that can be configured by the user. the reports should be able to be adjusted to make progress presentations.

Pros

I consider that it is the most used tool worldwide to manage projects because it allows an efficient administration of resources, quickly converts proposals and ideas into operational projects, plans and manages small and large projects, standardizes more and more processes to improve the functioning and facilitate project management, visualize the performance of our projects and resources, detect trends, manage risks more easily, identify problems or areas for improvement. I'm sure there are more advantages to this product

Cons

For many years I use and prefer this tool because I have never presented any type of inconvenience with it. Recommended to manage projects 100%

Saving time and practicality.

Pros

The management of the projects through this software is extremely easy and practical. You can visualize the progress of your projects immediately and visualize the percentage of compliance with it, in addition to relating the necessary resources for those projects. Of the best.

Cons

Initially it can be a little complex to relate to software resources but once you identify them, there is nothing stopping you. Sometimes the programming of automatic tasks can become cumbersome but these details are already at the user's expense.

Pros

It is 3 in one; project management, portfolio management and resource management.
Projects has preloaded templates and standard scheduling tools.
Can be accessed on mobile.
Integration with Microsoft office 365 other modules.

Cons

It is an expensive option, not very easy to use, steep learning curve, missing some important project management features.

I got the benefit of having more insight based on the analytics provided

Pros

One thing that always impress me is the powerful and nice analytics that gives me a deep insight in projects, which I utilize to make effective decisions

Cons

Based on the software functionalities and performances, I can say i like everything, only that they dont provide free trial - thats is what I dont like

When I implemented this software there were a lot of benefits that were never fully realized. Better visibility into the project portfolio was the primary benefit.

Pros

Seamless integration with Microsoft Project and the ability to quickly configure custom fields made setting up the bare bones of Microsoft's Project Online very easy. If you love Microsoft Project and have a Team of Project Managers that live and die by the product this is really the best choice.

Cons

Advanced features including Time Sheets and Pairwise Analysis are a nightmare to setup and maintain. Outside help is a necessity for these items, and you may need help with reporting as well.

It facilitates the visualization of the load of assignments per resource, allowing an equitable division among the entire working group.

Pros

For the administration of projects, the old school pmo team is based on project management with gantt diagrams. Therefore this tool facilitates its use as it comes with predetermined templates that make it easy to plan and reprogram tasks assigned to resources. Allowing timely notification to the client when there is a delay in the project.

Cons

The handling of the tool tends to be a bit complex, so you need a previous training for those beginners. But even so this does not completely limit the use of the tool because it tends to be intuitive in certain cases.

I have developed several projects with this system and has helped me in the management of resources and evaluation of project execution, achieving greater monitoring and control of them

Pros

It produces alerts when you have overload of the personnel or of a machinery in a specific task, helping to take the preventive corrections.
In addition, it allows to place in the cloud any project developed to access its location

Cons

For the moment I do not find any against this program, since it has many benefits in the development of projects

I saved time, better results to my boss and new incomes.

Pros

What a I ike the most was the fact that it has similar functions of the well-known office products, so it is easier to manipulate and the quality of the products is amazing.

Cons

Microsoft Softwares have the same problems we already know, some functions are hard to understand and not easy to find.

Pros

This software is very useful to develop proiestos, since it allows to present hypothetical scenarios, besides to plan the resources that one has.

Cons

To use this software you must have previous instructions to be 100% usable since you have various functions for project management.

Monitor the project and mitigate risks.

Pros

Intuitive, for the follow-up of three important factors in the execution of projects such as: tasks to execute, administration of resources and programming.

Cons

To have no limits the Premium version is the solution, only that its cost is a bit high for small scale companies, .

Pros

- the ability to make clear who needs to do what and what resources they have access to is very useful

Cons

- Not so easy to new users to get the ball rolling
- even if your team is not so big, the licencing price is a bit much
- Sharing options are not great. A quick PDF export would be great

Pros

It is practical, it has control of all the characteristics of the project such as resources, tasks and with the portfolio it has the statistics of all the projects within reach of the hand

Cons

The price relationship that handles the license is what may affect the application but I think it's worth it
