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.

Great layout and helpful help menus. Great WebEx sessions when they are being shown (can also YouTube them!).

I took on a job that involved analyzing a large amount of complex data. I was really worried that I had bitten off more then I could chew.

With little to no training, I have been able to teach myself Inetsoft.

We're quite pleased with the software and would highly recommend it for it's ease of use and integration capabilities.

Customer service is great to work with and have made the adoption of Style Intelligence a success in our organization.

Time to develop dashboards and automate reports is the biggest benefit we have realized.

This intelligent software has helped increase the success of my company. Combines on-the-fly data modeling with data visualization to enable rapid development which gives effective and fast results.

The entire suite of products are easy to use. The entire InetSoft Team from sales to tech support is outstanding and always helpful.

Very responsive, great interactions with the team, and comprehensive training.

The Style Studio product is still a desktop app. Errors are difficult to track down.

Altering data source for the worksheet blocks takes time.

This was an important consideration for our use cases. The openness and extensibility is impressive.

Open Standards, Rich Functionality, Powerful Graphics, Good Support.

N/A - I have nothing to say inregards to dislikes.

This is the only tool I have found on the market that could fulfill my requirements 100.

Ease of learning, following and creating dashboards (simple & complex). Good Support organization.

A Wonderful BI Tool with Promising Opportunity.

Initial installation/configuration is confusing and overly complex. Performance and system resources requirements too high.

This is the BI platform worth trying. Simple this is a good value for money.

Replacement of root level blocks on the worksheet is not as easy as it could be. Requires too many steps.

JavaScript and/or SQL is required for building custom expressions and filter conditions. JavaScript can be very frustrating to use, but that's probably due to my limited experience with the language.

Inetsoft is a lightweight, easy to use, cost-effective and flexible alternative to rigid and expensive BI reporting tools like Business Objects, Cognos etc.

Also, the interactive features available has made it easy to classify different report for different group level in an organization.

I am using InetSoft for about one year now and I had a good experience with it.

It was our product of choice after looking at many. So far our deliverables have proven solid in performance - happy customers.

Product documentation layout is confusing, making it difficult to find answers to what we need when trying to transform complex data sets or build engineering style reports.

The Product is Solid, we love that we can point to multiple data bases and build reports that can be scheduled. InteSoft gave us tremendous support as we began to train on their system.

Wealth of tools to design user friendly yet data intricate dashboards.

This made it so that I can make 1 change to the Report and it would change for everyone. Excellent Reporting System, Excellent Price, and Great Customer Support.

Very light and easy to integrate. Brushing, selection container provides rich interactivity.

Ability to design queries in Excel like manner. Architecture of the product with is really open for different integrations.

We've been able to meet all of our investors and clients requirements with ease.
