"The solution scales well."
"SharePoint site integration"
"The ability to track a project's progress using Microsoft Project Server is the most valuable aspect. It depends, especially when managing multiple projects."
"It is a scalable solution. We have been able to manage larger scale projects easily using this solution."
"Microsoft Project Server is easy to use compared to other similar solutions, such as Primavera. It functions similar to Excel or others Microsoft solutions which makes it simple for most people to be able to use right away."
"The solution's ease of use is its most valuable aspect."
"The stability of the 2019 version is quite good."
"It offers a very solid service alongside its innovative features and capabilities."
"The initial setup is easy."
"What I like the most about Trello is how engaging and efficient it is. I like that it allows me to monitor which tasks have been completed and which ones haven't by removing a particular card away from the board, stating that the task has been done."
"It is easy for users to start working with Trello because it has a user-friendly interface."
"Trello's most valuable feature is its visuals. You can customize your board with covers and pictures. There are no restrictions in workflow columns as in Jira. It is a powerful solution to organize work. Jira is process-oriented and restrictive."
"Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management."
"We found that the solution was available on multiple devices, has a great user experience, is simple to use, and it is available on multiple channels."
"I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."
"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."
"The user interface looks quite old and needs to be improved."
"It would be useful if the solution allowed us to share files or project schedules. You may get that with the cloud version. However, it's not available on the on-premises versions."
"When we started using this solution from scratch, we got lost. Microsoft should provide some templates for configurations for certain use cases."
"EPM 2010 UI seems a bit dated now that 2016 is available."
"Permission management needs improvement."
"We need to be able to compare milestones, calls, and other variables regarding the projects we are working on. I have to contract developers to make reports, which is where things get complicated. They need to develop personal and custom fields for us."
"In terms of tech support, it took a long time for them to resolve a ticket."
"Although it has many useful features, the one thing I don't like about Trello is that it constantly sends out unimportant notifications."
"We don't really have any automated features. If they had more automated options, that would be helpful."
"Trello cannot be integrated with other tools like Jira and Google Workspace."
"I would appreciate seeing how much time spend on each specific ticket."
"Reporting features could be improved."
"The documentation is not readily accessible. It is difficult to connect with technical support. Additionally, their knowledge base seems limited."
"It is not a scalable product."
"Having more integration with third party tools is an area for improvement in Trello. It would also be nice if it has a voice messaging functionality similar to what you have in WhatsApp, for quicker communication with colleagues."
