I like the ability of the forms for the employees to enter their productivity. I also like the final results of a dashboard after it's been worked on.

Likewise, source files can only be 10 MB in size for the reports to pull from, which can prove problematic.

A cost effective and easily implementable dashboarding tool.

Great Group to work with. I only did the trial as we were investigating several BI products.

The product is both very powerful in terms of functionality and easy to use.

I like that you can create whatever dashboard or graph that you like.

Flexibilty to program in a variety of platforms including Excel for non-programmers. Easy to use, yet also a great deal of complexity in what can be done with charts, graphs and dashboards.

Can my analyst create reports quickly and with ease using this software.

In the event that items are lost, one would have to manually enter the information again and then construct a dashboard that took a decent amount of time to build.

I think you have to look at feature/functionality vs the price point and you will see that this software represents the best value in its class.

First, I love the support I get from the iDashboards Help Desk.

IDashboards is an easy, efficient, affordable, robust, interactive, user-friendly software with incredible visualization capability.

This product is fairly easy to figure out and the end result is amazing. Our upper management loves the ease in which they see what matters to them.

What I like best about this software is the easy-to-use, simple but catchy look when I'm going to use it for presentation.

Awesome Customer Support. User Friendly for the no-so-techy user.

Too complex to create a dashboard. Cannot easily create complex query or dataset using multiple tables.

IDashboards has great features in ways to view your data and iffers a great platform to be the hub of all tour information to be housed and viewed.

Great charts and dashboards seen via any web browser. Data could be accessed in real-time, easy to mantain and imlement.

No negatives to list at this time. We had a little difficulty in the beginning getting schedules synched up but that was about all.

It makes it easier to design new charts and dashboards. I also love the flexibility of the product to allow me to control what users can see, such as filtering the data retrieved by the user name.

We embed idashboards in our software. It is easy to use for our clients, which is key for our support group.

No matter what my issue is, they do all that they can to help me - above and beyond. Regarding the product, its best feature is their user interface.

IDashboards has a wonderful Knowledge Base (part of OSKAR) that you can query to get all kinds of help.

The problem is - what to measure and monitor. You have to be an accountant or highly financially literate to know what to track and what to do with the info you get out.

You are supported at the time of purchase as well as every day with excellent staff. The program is easy to use and can tap into all of your data sources.

I recommend Trello over Planner to colleagues.

Planner is intuitive, robust, and deeply connected and integrated with Microsoft 365.

There is a lack of way of dividing activities into steps and setting deadlines.

It does have limits in the enterprise tier we have. The most annoying is that we can't tag team members in the comments of tasks and we can't create sub-tasks within it.

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.

It did not cost anything extra. I like being able to bring tasks and items from multiple places into a single place where I can organize my work.

With the right Microsoft 365 package, this is a great tool at a great price.

Overall, this is another solid Microsoft tool and helps teams stay more organized.

Microsoft Planner is a good tool for planning among teams, keeping track of ongoing projects that are multilayered. It's easy to use and is integrated with other Microsoft apps.

This integration makes it easy to share files and collaborate with others on projects seamlessly.

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.

Microsoft Planner is a nice addition to the Microsoft Suite but as a Mac user I find the interface can be cumbersome. The cost of purchasing an additional platform outweighs any inherent benefit.

The most frustrating aspect of Planner is the lack of a public view of the board and tasks. Only members of the team can follow progress.

Microsoft Planner is easy to use and easy to deploy as well. The planner is linked with office 365 which means the user does not have to log into office again.

This product is easy to use and great for everyday task management. It’s also good for collaboration between coworkers as well.

There are some core missing features. You can't see all tasks by person assigned, and you can't see all tasks assigned to a team across multiple plans.

Regarding this app, there are few things I dislike.

This software like I stated previously is very simple and easy to use which what I like the most about this software.

It has a very intuitive interface to create Gantt diagrams and define a collaborative environment to assign tasks to the team and track work load in real time. Completely integrated with MS Teams.

I have many small business clients, ran by over-stressed small business owners who only use their phones, and only have time to take in limited amounts of information. This app is useless on mobile.

The best part about this app is that it can be integrated with Microsoft Teams, which makes it pretty easy to use and very convenient to play around with.

But not great for team collaboration and projects. I know MS has a separate tool they like to upsell to but we were really hoping this would have some more basic task features.

Neglects their entire target market. Quite useless, in the true sense of the word.

Few features on content management: No text formatting, impossible to identify collaborators in the comment, no drag and drop for files, no preview for images.

Frequent issues with lost updates and such, especially on other browsers than Microsoft Edge.

It's definitely love and hate. It's great for short-term tasks and reminders.

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.

It helps identify if a team member is overloaded since the user can see across the board of all team members.

The company i work for has it integrated into teams and it makes everything convenient and in one place. A decent project management tool that is easy to navigate and provides a good user experience.

Perhaps the only negative thing is that only team members can participate in the task, that can make it somewhat uncomfortable.

The planner is principally great because it's native to Microsoft. Especially in MS Teams, it's super to manage single tasks.

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.

I like that the system is accessible on any device. The design is straightforward to use and is moderately feature rich.

I like how Planner is able to be customized to the project being working on with buckets and theming. It is also nice to assign tasks to others, knowing they will get alerts.

Super simple to use and with a good range of functionality, Planner is a light project management tool that is an important part of the Office 365 suite.

I find the interface refreshing in comparison to other apps because I appreciate its simplicity and user friendliness so I enjoy using it.

A good tool with a friendly and intuitive interface.

For statuses, they're not customizable and the pre-established statuses are too limited. For notifications, they are half of the time very slow to be received in mailbox, up to 30 minutes delay.

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