Mouloud Fourali - PeerSpot reviewer
Project Manager at Digital Research Alliance of Canada
Visual project planning enhances collaboration and proactive management
The dependency management in Microsoft Project is highly valuable, as it visually maps dependencies and impacts within a project plan. The online version facilitates easy collaboration without having to share multiple versions of the file. The Gantt chart is also a very powerful tool for a visual presentation of sequences, critical paths, and execution processes, which simplifies comprehension for users.

Helps organize information and streamline client communication
My primary use case for the platform is to manage opportunities, company names, contacts, and meeting details. I use it to keep a detailed diary of customer interactions and plan the next steps. Our company is small, with five salespeople, and we rely on the CRM to track and manage our sales…

Pros

"The dependency management in Microsoft Project is highly valuable, as it visually maps dependencies and impacts within a project plan."
"It brings all the information and all the data about our projects into one location and helps us provide holistic reporting and trends analysis across projects through the entire enterprise."
"The working blocks within the solution are excellent, allowing me to follow four or five projects, see item deadlines in the calendar, understand workload capacity, and plan each team member's activities accordingly."
"The usability is excellent."
"There are many valuable features of this solution. It is very advanced and once you understand and learn how to use it, it can be quite powerful. The whole package can be quite powerful."
"The scheduling feature is the most useful."
"The ability to track a project's progress using Microsoft Project Server is the most valuable aspect. It depends, especially when managing multiple projects."
"The most valuable features are the gantt charts. It's easy to use for me."
"The product is stable."
 

Cons

"Risk and issues are stored in the project SharePoint but there is no real auto communication of assignments; there is no mechanism for automatic escalation (much needed)."
"The product's UI is not very user-friendly."
"The cost could be lower."
"The solution could improve the ease of access could improve. It can be time-consuming."
"The price of the solution could be reduced."
"It has to be more user-friendly. For instance, there should be some assistance, like when you go to certain sites, people pop up and say, "Can we help you? What are you looking for?" It's not interactive enough."
"Collaboration within the tool is lacking when you compare it to online or cloud-based tools."
"From a features perspective, the insights around the cost and budget could be improved; competitor products are more robust, and Project Server has a very limited feature in terms of reporting, especially around cost control, with built-in reports and analytics that are very minimal and far behind what competitors offer."
"The platform's initial data entry process is time-consuming. It could be more streamlined."
