As a project scheduling and estimating tool, Project cannot be beat
Pros
- Project breakdown into unlimited number of project phases/tasks
- Real-time visual estimate of overlapping project scopes
- Easily printable and shareable with external users.
Cons
- It's not cheap. For small businesses, this can be a make or break decision as to whether the software should be purchased or note.

Go To Software For Project Management!
Pros
We were able to implement Microsoft Project and reduce one of our full time project managers down to part time. This helped us save a lot of money at a crucial time!
Cons
With this being the first time we've used such a platform it took a bit of an adjustment period for us to start thinking of all of our projects inside one box. Once you make the shift in thinking you'll never go back!

Microsoft Project is a Solid Scheduling Software Accepted by Most Clients
Pros
- The baseline feature for scheduling is a great tool for tracking the tender schedule against the actual schedule
- Tasks are easy to insert and move around while creating simple dependencies and links
- The printable schedule is very presentable and looks highly professional
- Clients/Owners sometimes only accept the schedule in certain formats and Microsoft Project is likely one of them
Cons
- Not the easiest to collaborate with others on, there is cloud-based software which does this better.

Very powerful tool but has a steep learning curve
Pros
Very powerful tool with very extensive reporting and analytics modules. It gives you the ability to customize the report and manage resources.
Cons
Its not the most straightforward tool and it takes good training before you take its advantage to the fullest. Plus, it doesn’t integrate well with other PM tools.

One can easily learn how to use Microsoft Project in a long weekend, but utilizing the software in conjunction with proven project management methodology is key.
Pros
Microsoft Project brings a lot of the same design mentality present in its other applications such as templates that provide ease of use for new users. A project can be extremely granular and contain a total breakdown of tasks and resources or merely a high level breakdown of major milestones. Once compiled, the data can be broken out into various views for the pertinent project tasks such as timelines and Gantt charts.
Cons
Microsoft Project does have a steeper learning curve than some applications because of the inherent need to understand project management philosophy. You also need to have at least a partially formalized approach to project management otherwise you may find yourself fighting with the software.

It did what it said but it did get a little discombobulated when trying to figure out all the uses.
Pros
What impressed me the most was the fact that it helped me manage the start and end date of a few projects I had going.
Cons
Unfortunately the software is pricey for smaller companies. Although it did help manage our projects and helping in getting it done by the proposed date, I don't know if it is worth it for a small company like our with 30ish regular employees.
