What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?

It is alot more effective than any other products I've tried using for project management uses & thought of stuff I didn't even realize I would want to have let alone need to have which is great because they think about everything & basically remind me of these things when they come up in the project management areas of my company! Therefore, I love that they have those things about them I just stated that help put them above all the rest of the programming software out there I could be using instead!

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite part of this product is the fact that they don['t miss a thing when it comes to possible project managing needs/wants even without knowing the type of services my companies sold to begin with or the type of services that my company would need in order for their software to work well for it & me as a user of it to project manage more easily!

What do you dislike most about this product?

I really don't dislike anything about this product at this time!

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I would recommend you try them out before you just jump into any software let alone this one because it may not be the correct product for you personally or for your companies needs/wants either! You should always look around before signing any contract for a longer period of time like even one year!
