It aligns with all the functionalities we need
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?
Microsoft Project Online is an awesome software development platform. To improve our programs, this platform aligns with all the functionality we require, through which I would schedule operations, delegate assignments, and then also enable me to review data and produce reports very quickly and fully online.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I really appreciate which we can bind several files and finish our company duties quickly. However, try and watch a video to learn about using Microsoft Project, since it can require a little longer confirming these features.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It's doesn't encourage me to import massive files, but there are very fewer options for creating stats and visuals. Resources and activities may be lost if it's not used correctly. This application can also often be a little sluggish to activate. We were not really able to afford to buy a temporary solution throughout package propagation for the plan.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Watch a video to learn about using Microsoft Project, since it can require a little longer to understand these features.
Pros
- Caring
- Respectful
- Acts with Integrity
- Helps Innovate

The gold standard, as long as you are experienced
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?
MS Project and Project Online are outstanding at what they do and are the foundational standard that more specialized products branch out from. The simplicity of building workable, visualized project plans is second to none.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Customization and flow control is some of the software's best features. I can set separate or custom schedules and apply them to groups or roles; in the matrix business environment that can be very helpful for estimating completion dates or headcount requirements.
What do you dislike most about this product?
If you know Project, it is excellent; if you do not, there is a steep ramp-up to learning how to set up and optimize project plans. This ramp-up often causes new users not to see as much value in the product since they don't know what they don't know.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is one of those programs/tools that can simplify your team's work, but you need to learn it, and I do not mean "learn as you go." If you are willing to invest in training or some administration support as you ramp, you will get the most out of the product.
Pros
- Enables Productivity
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Trustworthy
Cons
- Inhibits Innovation
- Slower Product Innovation
- Commodity Features
