Limited out of the box features to automate notifications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is not difficult to utilize, but the resources are in fact limited. I like the conventional 8-hour week and the possibility of assigning resources and functions, although I would choose more integrated features, such as easier cost sharing when viewing responsibilities or maybe easier creation of Pareto charts directly from the program.

The number of tools is very important, although it can be really heavy. It takes a lot of effort and time to learn a product to be used to the full. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
MS Project is the best way to articulate the details of any project throughout the SDLC. The Gant charts is a great way to present the whole project to management/executives. It is also very easy to update and add notes at each milestone date or task. You can also integrate min-type plans into the overall very easily, and the dates and progress will be automatically updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When importing a plan from excel, expect to meet with some challenges when copying and pasting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Task tracking & timelines with schedule overlap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It cannot open into any other format unless MS project s/w is installed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
You can create a schedule that's as detailed as you want it, or as simple as you want it. Easily customizable. Can use templates, as well. It allows you to make sure that you do not miss any small tasks within even the largest projects. I like that there are so many different options and you can really make the tool your own. It's a great tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a little complicated to learn. If you make a mistake on certain things, it takes a long time to fix that mistake. A lot of training is necessary to get the hang of the tool. I also don't like that there isn't an option right now for auto save. But, once you get the hang of it it's a great tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Best thing I see whenever I used it was, its interface is very similar to the excel spreadsheet, and amazing customizable UI. Along with trust of Microsoft & runs on a lighter rigs. Gantt Chart/ Progress graphs or multi handle user at site is very simple as it goes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It does not support the customization of budget flow.. or thresholds, like primavera. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is very helpful for project management and saves us a lot of time overall. The pre-built templates are very helpful and this system allows us to easily view work projects and monitor the progress we are making. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest dislike is the price and it is not as user friendly as it could be. There are alternatives to this product that are more cost efficient and a bit easier to learn on the front end. I do like using this, but it is hard to justify the cost at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Microsoft Project is an excellent tool to correlate tasks, phases and milestones in any type of project. Even define resources that are required in each of them. It is quite intuitive and relatively easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I dislike about this application is that it requires an additional license to the Office 365 package. It should be an optional within the same package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
