Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easily adaptable. In addition, it is easily used on mobile applications."
"The key things are managing interactions, resource allocation, resource-leveling (enterprise) and as a collaborative tool, because we use it across multiple projects at a time."
"The usability is excellent."
"Technical support is good."
"Microsoft Project Server is simple to use."
"It is a scalable solution. We have been able to manage larger scale projects easily using this solution."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is stable to use, especially since I work with Microsoft for an extended period."
"A single place for all our organisation's project records."
"I really really like the sort by name or dates functions as they toggle and make being able to offer super-quick organization a breeze, especially when client-facing."
"The board customization is an incredibly valuable feature."
"Monday.com sends email notifications to keep us all on task. I love the email reminders asking me where I am with the assigned task and if I need some help. I have used this to get things done on time, and it also encourages me to acknowledge when I need some help because I have not been able to complete the task."
"The automation feature saves us hours of time reviewing activities, sending reminders, and sending emails."
"The templates were always the best part as not starting from scratch made the process so much easier."
"It's helped us organize and collaborate with clients and has been a great foundation/framework to support our growth."
"The date, timeline, and task management features are great."
"In short - it keeps a remote asynchronous team in sync."
"We are on the on-prem version. The cloud, however, gives more regular updates that we can take advantage of."
"Permission management needs improvement."
"Microsoft is going to integrate the Co-Pilot features into Microsoft Project. The AI feature is an additional feature. It can look at the plan and identify risks early on from any part of your project."
"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."
"Stability of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The solution could have more compact dashboards, such as one finds with Planview."
"This is a good product but we have struggled with stability from time to time. The service has stopped intermittently and it has been difficult to find a reason why."
"It appears that Microsoft's primary goal is to migrate as much functionality as possible from the legacy on-premises Microsoft Project Server to the new cloud-based Power Apps solution."
"For others who have more varied assignments, some of which require collaboration with other team members, they might find Monday insufficient."
"The marketing notification emails from Monday.com are really poor and of little value to the user."
"If there was an option to print out a report per client that we have time-tracked, it would be really useful."
"Currently, we run our accounting on Quickbooks Online and we are forced to use their reporting tools to bring out the data we want to see. I would much rather have Quickbooks integration that allows us to more seamlessly pull transactions into Monday in real-time and allow us to manipulate that data on the Monday interface."
"Alongside the integrations, a Mailchimp one would help to add tags directly from Monday to the Mailchimp account."
"One item we feel we is missing is more board templates that would allow us to work within the agile methodology."
"The data linkage could be improved. For example, sometimes you cannot automate item creation when you link different items to each other. You cannot connect the data deeply from field to field. It's somewhat complicated to link a contact to some account fields and automate the contact's behavior based on the value of those fields. The data is sometimes not structured enough for deep processing."
"If I have 20 items that all have a deadline of 3/24, I'd love to be able to update them all at one time rather than individually."
