Great tool for project management from microsoft

9 /10

What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?

Microsoft has been developing this product for several years and it has matured well over time. There are a number of exciting features in the product and the ability to interact and share between projects is very useful in the day-to-day work of our project managers. Budget monitoring is well done.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Portfolio Manager allows me to browse the full web of business projects I manage. This allows for much better visibility into the organization's resource constraints, minimizing risk. I can see who is working on multiple projects and have a greater ability to switch resources between projects to keep them on track.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Projects still require a lot of data entry to accurately track projects and resources. I'm still struggling to integrate its use with non-Microsoft tools.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Set up your project administration and basic templates before launching it in your organization.

Pros

Reliable

Efficient Service
