Microsoft Project Software

Pros

MS Project application has a familiar look and feel to the rest of the windows applications
It allows organizations and project managers to easily monitor and manage project tasks and milestones.

Cons

MS Project can be challenging to learn and use especially during the initial phase as it is generally complex

Pros

It does what it is meant to do. You can created a detailed robust project plan complete with dependencies.

Cons

It takes some time to learn the software so it can be intimidating to new users
There is no a Mac version of it. It needs to include features for new PM methodologies such as agile.

project plan tracking n execution

Pros

Ability to add dependencies between various tasks, that is cross dependencies. Ability to put number of days and the tool auto calculating the dates.

Cons

needs better resource management options. Agile features like run down chart, daily standup notes, scrum risk items.

Pros

Easy to setup resources and assign to tasks. When initially deciding on timelines I use the dependencies to play what if with timelines. But once past the planning phase I break the dependencies and manually move tasks.

Cons

Compared to other tools this is the best. Since it is not integrated with other project in the portfolio you cannot see resources across other projects.

Microsoft Project Professional simplifies the process of project management, including workflow, decision making and hypothetical scenarios, providing business-class capability to medium-sized companies.

Pros

The new PPM solution also allows users to create and work on projects
Extensions with Project and SharePoint Apps
Optimized for use on mobile devices

Cons

Is not as intuitive as other programs
The inclusion of a tutorial for the most complex tasks would be really useful, in this way each tool would be used to the maximum.

Pros

Microsoft PPM is a industry standard in scheduling and its ability to do milestone tracking is a major part of it. We use it to keep track of projects both big and small.

Cons

It does take a little time to learn how to use the software but is not a major hangup. Also, the cost is quite steep when the amount of users goes up.

Extremely useful to manage any kind of project, no matter the complexity of it.

Pros

Is is very simple to input task and input all the information for each one. Also while creating task the Gant chart updates as soon as the task is created.

Cons

Is not very good for collaboration and sharing data and there is no a Mac version so it can be used only in Windows computers.

It is an excellent planner for control tasks within a project.

Pros

It is very easy to teach new employees about this software. You achieve improvements in the processes and project management. I like it because it brings templates to start with. It allows us to verify the assignments of the project and the progress it has had.

Cons

The inclusion of a tutorial for the most complex tasks would be really useful, in this way each tool would be used to the maximum. Everything is excellent from the rest.

Pros

I've toyed with my fair share of softwares similar to Microsoft PPM and none have beat them on the ability to customize. Out of everything Microsoft PPM allows you to accomplish, I feel this is its shining feature.

Cons

Honestly, I haven't found anything I don¿t like about this product. It's powerful but does take some time to learn. So long as you have the time to dedicate to it upfront, you'll be pleased.

Pros

I was using it at my previous job and it was an ok application; Ability to perform advanced functions around resourcing and costing

Cons

The software is somewhat limiting and can cause frustration because it doesn't have what you are being asked to provide.

Pros

We like the ability to sync with our SharePoint sites which has really helped us out. The user interface makes this one of the easiest programs to use for managing our projects and portfolios. Knowing that Microsoft makes this gives us a certain peace of mind that is second to none. The support is great whenever we have issues, which we rarely do.

Cons

Having to pay for each seat is something we aren't too fond of as a small business but is understandable. Training new users can be a little daunting at times but for people who are familiar with other Microsoft products they will get the hang of it fairly quickly.

Pros

Is a project management tool integrate it with office 365 based on windows system, all base on the cloud

Cons

Missing the development for Mac environment or Mac OS, for that reason we couldn't continue testing the application

Pros

Finally, a project management tool that integrates with my other Microsoft programs. I previously worked in spreadsheets with my team, and this tool has greatly improved our processes.

Cons

I don't like the cost of this tool. It's hard to justify with my company since we have various other tools that will "work just fine".

Pros

The ability to view the project from different locations is a huge bonus. Having different locations we are able to see what each location is doing and where they are on the current project.

The reporting features are great and very useful.

Cons

This took a bit for some of our users to get used to. The support and help is hard to find and when you do find it they are basic answers. It is a typical Microsoft help issue such as having to use google to find out the siolution for the answer you are looking for

Pros

some friend and I are new in building some profitable project and microsoft PPM is pretty good to coordinate with each other. A lot of tool and microsoft partner available.

Cons

may be high cost to buy and upgrade . Its easy to use with the basic tool but need a good traning to go with the advanced one.

Pros

Without a doubt I will return to continue working with Microsoft PPM, one of the best softwares currently in project management, it is not necessary to highlight the quality of its services that was impeccable and its versatility, it develops a very good relationship with its client.

Cons

I'm really leaving with 0 complaints, recommending it and full of good reviews, 100% satisfied and I recommend it.

Pros

I like how you can adjust timeline of multiple tasks, and when adjusting one can affect another. You can either manually schedule the tasks, or you can select to have MS Project automatically schedule the tasks based on the task data you input. MS Project also shows the final project timeline in a nice gantt chart for you to have an overview of the whole project. I also like the ability to add subprojects and linking projects, making it easier to see how one change impacts another in a different project. Reporting tab also gives out a nice pie chart or bar chart to show project progress.

Cons

There aren't many choices of nice icons to use, and adjusting fonts and sizes of the chart is can be frustrating since it isn't very flexible.. The row height is also not easy to get it the the right height for my usage, unlike using MS Excel.

Overall I would recommend that app, I have been able to put together a rough draft of a project quicker, saving time stress and can edit it to the likeness of my team quicker. Also, while using the software I have been able to view the project and show the process when asked. This tool helps us to administrate, develop and design projects of our company. Good analytical tool

Pros

This is another useful tool from Microsoft with the ability to create tasks and add resources to it. I love the filtering abilities, I am constantly using them for zooming in on what is critical whether in a meeting or working individually to update the schedule. This app provides you with templates and shortens the time you spend on putting things in place. What is also good is that you can focus on the depth of the information you are sending out rather than throwing something together and it does not appear professional and the information is missed. You can also invite your team into the project as well.

Cons

What I would like is an easier way to set up reports. I like that there are a lot of great features, but they are not as user friendly as some of the other Microsoft Project features. You will need to invest more time in getting trained, because they do look very helpful once you know how to set them up.

Pros

Great job, I love having worked with Microsoft PPM without a doubt is a decision that will not regret, as a client I am fully satisfied with everything, quality, service, efficiency, absolutely everything, 10/10.

Cons

I really do not have any complaints to make, I hope that more companies in the area of project management learn from them and reach their level, keep it that way.

Pros

I like that you can create, edit, modify, and utilize any project you are working on in an easy and smooth way. The application comes in Office 365.

Cons

The software itself is good. It is not the end-all, be-all of project software as there are improvements that could be made. In addition, customer support could be more prompt.
