What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?

it stands apart from other launches by addressing the issue of time and work. it's best because it figures 'work' (related to effort) based on time and resource units, an essential concept that many more elementary tools lack. trello is a little more loosey goosey! ha really helps me stay on budget compared to trello though, for sure. it’s created for folks who are accountable for a project and must have data to prove their progress.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

it is great to be able to control multiple projects in one view. i can see the way our resources are being utilized across the whole company, which helps us prevent burnout. the custom tables and views are also fantastic because i can easily create a workspace that shows me just what i need for my role. the reporting is very professional looking and the charts are easy to relate to our clients. it seems like an extremely well made product.

What do you dislike most about this product?

it’s not very welcoming to people who just want to easily get a few tasks in. the system is a challenge to set up and it cannot be effective without entering a significant amount of data. the mobile app is also very limited, and we can only do a little more than merely check the schedule.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

the best option for any company that requires a formal and well organized approach to managing projects. it offers the depth and precision required to do more complex work.” i recommend it to any project leads who need to know they're being realistic and can produce what's expected.
