AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management excels in its robust GANTT chart functionality, which allows for detailed project scheduling and tracking. However, reviewers mention that the learning curve can be steep for new users, impacting ease of use.
- Reviewers mention that Flowlu shines in its user-friendly interface and ease of setup, with many users appreciating the intuitive design that facilitates quick onboarding. In contrast, users on G2 report that Microsoft Project can be cumbersome to navigate initially.
- G2 users highlight Flowlu's strong customer support, with a rating of 9.2, noting that the responsive support team is a significant advantage for small businesses. Conversely, users report that Microsoft Project's support quality is less consistent, with a rating of 7.6.
- Users say that Flowlu's free entry-level pricing is a major draw for small businesses, allowing them to access essential project management features without upfront costs. In comparison, Microsoft Project's entry-level price of $10.00 may be a barrier for smaller teams.
