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

The tool is adjustable and easy to use
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?
Microsoft Project Online is a project and portfolio command (PPM) solution. We can combine it with all other Microsoft tools, including Outlook, PowerPoint, Access Excel, and Word. The program also provides many communication channels, such as Outlook, Yammer, and Skype. The program can also track other companies.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
This program can be planned in one place, prioritize and trace all our projects. It also allows resources strategically based on time and budget limitations. More importantly, real-time organization collaboration on plans can be obtained on any device.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Microsoft Project cannot be used with multiple users at the same time. There are too many unused functions in this program. This tool is costly and difficult for newcomers.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is a costly project management software but I would like to recommend it at least once.

Great & Seamless Project Management Tool Ever
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?
For me, the Microsoft Project's finest aspect is the various possibilities for developing complex tasks. I enjoy the time, resources, expenses, and team reporting and analysis. Another problem I think is extremely important is that you may set the basics, from which the project can be modified without the initial information being lost. I was able to develop and store an MPP plan to share and split points with various people. These things are differentiates Microsoft Project Online from other similar products.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Microsoft's internet project is not only a job but also a cloud-based profile control tool. It may allow subscribers to effectively implement their projects with great features that help them to simplify the management of tasks, resources, and other activities. It is important to maintain track of our project as it reminds us when your project information is included in the app. Our templates are already many and may be used, reused, and perfect if necessary. It is just as easy to choose a Gantt chart to fill out the dates, resources, and additional tasks as necessary.
What do you dislike most about this product?
It is unlikely that when you monitor several projects in the same file, the crucial route will always be identified properly. The use of this software is similarly limited in both planning and tracking project progress. It takes a lot of time and effort to learn the full use of a product.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I propose an internship with an experienced Microsoft teacher when you are going to utilize MS Project and expose you to the system outputs and inputs to ensure that you know all of the resources available. If you want a tool that can be modified and can enable you to manage projects in every detail, Microsoft Project is your solution and one more thing I would recommend that you look at all features and the pricing items to ensure that you use them sufficiently to justify the costs.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features
