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. In contrast, with this solution, the only option available is the online version, making it difficult to create activities, milestones, and other necessary components. This is in comparison to Planisware, which offers a more comprehensive solution."

"Project is not easy to scale. It isn't a cloud-based solution where everybody can utilize it at the same time without version issues when you save your file. We use it at the enterprise level, but you have to share the files to others within your organization through Teams or SharePoint. One improvement would be to transition to cloud-based functionality. However, that might limit the functionality in other ways."
"We need more integration with Microsoft Teams and other collaboration tools."
"Its reporting and its integration with some of the other related systems should be improved. It is not very easy to integrate."
"I have no idea about the cost because it is a corporate decision."

"They do not have anything that can assist customers with multi-year roadmap planning."
"Its stability should be improved. Its stability is the main issue, but we sometimes also have issues with calculations."
"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."
