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.

It's integration into the O365 work lifestyle. It allows me to plan my day, accomplish tasks and it doesn't feel like a tacked on addition.

I would like a better way to have private markdown of tasks that is seen by just the end user.

Even if the tool still requires some improvements, but since it is low cost and included in the Microsoft 365 package, the benefit of living with those small issues is worth it.

In comparison to other tools I've used like JIRA, this tool is really easy to configure, to use and it works extremely well with Microsoft Teams.

The tool still needs improvements with statuses, notifications and scheduling. 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. For scheduling, you can only set a end date, but it is not possible to set multiple follow up dates and it is also impossible to set dates on subtasks.

Overall I find that Microsoft Planner provides an effective way to manage tasks and even projects both personally and on a team level.

I like the fact that it is included with our Office 365 licenses, is easy to use and can be integrated with Teams and Outlook with minimal effort.

It can feel a bit too basic at times and may lack some of the polish other applications have.
