I have previously used Project Server, which is a Microsoft solution, and I found it to be more user-friendly as it included a client solution.

This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"The solution is currently a bit slow and can be faster."
"It would be ideal if the solution integrated more with Azure DevOps and other work management platforms like Jira."
"The licensing cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Once we commit our status, changing it is hard."
"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."
"The solution's user experience and user interface need improvement because they are not that great and intuitive."
"The learning curve is steep and there could be more avenues for opening up learning materials to a broader audience, enabling individuals to gain practical experience with the tool."
