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."Microsoft Project Server is a scalable solution."
"The solution is stable."
"It is a scalable solution. We have been able to manage larger scale projects easily using this solution."
"The ability to look at the resource loading is most valuable."
"We use the tool in our IT-related projects. All IT efforts are managed using the Microsoft Project Server. Every week, we have a project status meeting where we demonstrate the project's status using the tool. We track tasks and progress, assign owners, and monitor milestones and all project-related work using it."
"Resource allocation is the most valuable feature of Microsoft Project Server."
"The solution is scalable and easy to expand."
"Project schedule management is very good. Basically, it sits on SharePoint. So, every time we create a project, a new project site is created within that SharePoint environment, which is a very good document repository. It allows us to create issues and risks lists and additional functionality to keep track of what's going on with projects."
"The best feature for us would be the automation and how they can be set up to email, provide an update, and assign to different people all on different triggers."
"We love the live updates in real-time for all parties."
"It's very easy to use. When we were trying to pick a system, we looked at Asana, Jira, and other platforms, and they were very cluttered. But monday.com is very user-friendly. As a user, everything is very clear. You don't need to be too tech-savvy to understand it and it's very easy to pick up on and learn."
"It's really helped to streamline communication between our team members as well as our clients."
"The product is quite simple to use."
"The most valuable features are the way we could easily add tasks and track the timelines of tasks through a Gantt chart. That made it easier for us to see which crucial tasks were finished."
"Since I'm using it for a variety of purposes, not just project management, I can customize boards and workspaces based on the needs of that particular workflow."
"Monday.com is effortless to use. You can customize it to adapt to your needs and work style. The product is beautiful and intuitive, which makes the work enjoyable."
"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."
"We want to expand to the local level where we lack strong IT expertise, we are considering making it more user-friendly."
"Microsoft Project Server's user interface is pretty average, and sometimes it can have bugs."
"When a lot of users logged onto the site, it took a big toll on the service. Therefore, there is a scalability issue."
"The product is difficult to use for complex projects."
"EPM 2010 UI seems a bit dated now that 2016 is available."
"We are on the on-prem version. The cloud, however, gives more regular updates that we can take advantage of."
"I'd like it if we could divide out the project calendars. On one project server, we might follow five projects or more at one time, and we'd like to see all of the items at once so that it becomes a long loop, but one where we can identify different projects in tandem and then focus on which we need to at the time. While I only have visibility into one, I'd like to see several at a time."
"If you want to drag a task or rearrange them, it's quite tricky, especially on the app."
"There are no missing features that I can think of."
"In recent months, Monday.com has been down about once a week."
"One thing that would be cool is if Monday had a chat feature."
"The solution could use a more streamlined Google Calendar integration."
"This isn't a platform where you scrimp on the training and send one person to bring back knowledge. Monday is different things to different people, and context matters."
"I do wish that admins could edit everything, no matter who created a post/board/subitems, etc."
"The docs could be improved."
