"The product is flexible."
"The app style of the new UI is absolutely fantastic. It's the right way to go. Our users will love it."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is the XFlow, that interface is pretty cool."
"Being able to track all of the projects with all of the details of those projects, and being able to move projects along from a process perspective, that is really beneficial."
"It is a scalable, easy-to-deploy, and user-friendly solution for enterprise businesses."
"Demand, Resource, Project Portfolio Management, for my business consulting services, PMO services to other clients."
"Easy to use, visually. The new UX is intuitive."
"The standard project planning features and charts are most valuable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the product's GUI is very good...The product's scalability is good."
"The built-in dashboards are powerful because they show both project and overall progress."
"I find all the features of the solution valuable."
"Microsoft Project integrates well with the Microsoft Office family of applications. It has plugins that interact with it and you can use it with Microsoft Teams. We can use plugins to communicate with JIRA, Projectplace, and Planview. It's not widely used in the company, of course, but it's something that can interact with the official tools that we have."
"The reporting and national resource capacity planning are the most valuable features."
"We have not had any problems with Microsoft's technical support. We are happy with the support."
"I find the planning features the most valuable to me."
"I think user-friendliness is the key. Right now it's really clunky. We're also looking to upgrade, but an upgrade is not going to fix everything. The new UX is good, but there are still a lot of limitations. Once they work through those kinks and get those limitations removed, we'll be able to upgrade."
"The solution could improve the way the workflow is developed. I think they could be more dynamic because they are in a way static. They're very powerful, but they don't have any interaction with end-users."
"Their online documentation is okay. It is not great. It is hard to get to some of the answers to the things that we may be running into, such as use cases that we are trying to fix. So, frequently we have to put in tickets."
"I am going to be maintaining both new UX screens, which the blueprints make look like it is going to be really easy, but we would still have to be maintaining new UX screens as well as classic views for those functionalities that are not yet available in the new UX."
"I would like to see more team-based management, and less people-based management; as far as the resource management goes, to do it per team and not per person."
"The risks issues and changes are not in the new UX yet."
"In the community, I do not see a lot of answers. A lot of people asking lots of questions, but I am not seeing a lot of answers come through."
"We see it as overhead. Let us collect all the data in one place. Which, it is always nice to have everything in one place, but it does cause that overhead."
"The licensing cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"We'd like to have more resource allocation and monitoring features."
"Microsoft Project could improve the dates. Sometimes the dates are not aligned. This occurs even when you auto-schedule the dates. We have to go and define the schedule daily this should more easily accessible."
"Microsoft Project has much room for improvement. The solution is still stuck where it was in 2013. Not much has changed since then. There is a lot that can be changed in the enterprise segment."
"It would be better if the solution is integrated with other communication platforms like Microsoft Teams."
"In a future release, the dashboard should improve because there isn't one, I had to create my own."
"The Gantt set needs to be improved. The grid lines needs to be more interactive."
"In the next release, Microsoft should include cross-project integration."
