What do you like best about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

This tool has everything that's needed to manage a project. Right from the very basic constraints of the Iron triangle, like Schedule, Cost & Scope, to additional tools like Resource Management, Risk Management, Procurement, Stakeholders, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

Though the tool is packed with a lot of features, it is not easy for a layman to use it. We need proper training to be able to use this tool.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management:

This tool is packed with a lot of features.

Unless you know them all it's difficult to make the best use of this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Project Scheduling, Resource Management, Budget allocation, etc

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

Microsoft Project is great for tracking every detail about a project and the resources needed to complete it. We use it in a number of different ways but it's great for keeping everybody on the same page and ensuring status is visible across the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

It's a very complex product, you get out of it what you put into it and it takes a lot of time to build out a good template. Once you've put in the time you get some great results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management:

Make the setup and deployment process easier and less resource intensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Project to keep teams on the same page across different sites and locations. It's allowed us to reduce the number of meetings (phone and virtual) and use the Project plan to keep everybody working towards the same goal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management offers a central home page view for all project tasks, and it supports multi-project management. There are many different workflow approaches to choose from and there is a very special feature that allows team members to fill time cards. This is a good project management tool for complicated projects or large organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

It has a steep learning curve, especially for users new to project management. It doesn't work well with most third-party softwares, and there is no good communication tool bundled inside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were trying to find software that can handle multiple projects with very different workflow, and Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management is the one that does the job. However, the learning curve makes it a little hard if you plan to let more than one person engage in managing the projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
