Microsoft planner is the best task planner tool which I use everyday because I have to track my each and every work and deadlines there. Also, along with this I can track our team's tasks also collaboratively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Though is a very good task planner tool but it also has some limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One feature I rely on is Microsoft planner’s custom color labels—they let me organize tasks visually and instantly by priority, requirement, or area. Exporting to excel is equally strategic—I can analyze, track metrics, and compare performance. And with the calendar view, timelines become far clearer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of built-in views—like gantt charts—limits a clear timeline perspective, crucial when projects demand strict sequencing and well-defined phases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Microsoft Planner makes task organization a breeze and effortless. The ability to create tasks, assign them to members, set deadlines and prioritize them all in one platform is a boon to everyone in the industry. Additionally, a major plus point is seamless integration with other Microsoft 365 applications which facilitates smooth collaboration and communication with team members more efficient.

Microsoft Planner is challenging to use at beginning, lack of simplicity in onboarding and initial use make adoption a little step back. while another drawback is absence of robust time tracking features and also to mention it's compatibility with other apps outside of microsoft 365 is very limited.

The best thing about Microsoft Planner is that it comes along with the Microsoft Officer 365 platform. Apart from this creating a plan is pretty simple and easy even for new users which is further customizable according to the project need. It also offers multiple views such as Board, List and Calendar view which makes project visualization much simpler and managed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downside of the Microsoft Planner is, it does not comes independately other than with Officer 365 package. Furthermore, it only offers basic project management features and does not have more advanced and detailed features such as task sharing and visibility control features.
