"The simplicity of the tool is valuable because it has categories and subcategories."
"We can update tasks and track projects."
"We found it very simple and intuitive to use...The initial setup is straightforward."
"Everything in one place is the biggest benefit. I also like the diagramming tools, where you can create DFDs, structure charts, and more. That makes things easier."
"The solution is very complete. It makes it a great option for project managers and they can use it extensively in almost any organizational setup."
"The tool has a simple and excellent approach."
"It has a nice interface that aligns with Excel and Word."
"We use Microsoft Project for its timeline and task management capabilities. The primary advantage is the easy application of tasks in sequence, confirming dependencies, and establishing relationships between tasks. It simplifies handling conditions, significant dates, and dependencies between various tasks."
"I find the planning features the most valuable to me."
"A lot of valuable features have been added in the last three years, including scheduling automation and intelligence."
"It comes with our Office 365."
"It's an easy solution to set up."
"I would love to see ClickUp integrated with more tools, possibly like Microsoft Loop."
"ClickUp could improve its documentation section."
"ClickUp can improve the UI for mobile devices. For example, they are lacking some features in the Android version, such as Gantt charts."
"Introducing automation and AI would greatly benefit ClickUp by reducing manual work."
"It would be good if the solution facilitated voice calls or an option to chat directly with a person on ClickUp."
"The product is not user-friendly."
"The cloud-based solution can get bugs in it occasionally, causing latency and loading issues."
"ClickUp doesn't have a roadmap vision and a proper way of planning."
"I would like to see more integrations with another software tool."
"I would like to have more access to templates and tools that could be used to teach project management best practices."
"If Project had a better mechanism to allow those who are not the project manager to see their own work tasks, that would be of help or of value to us."
"Its user interface could be a little bit more intuitive. Not everybody has the luxury of going to training and understanding which button does what and the functionality. The user interface should be improved to make it a little bit more intuitive. It is not user-friendly. I've dealt with it for a number of years, so it is not hard for me to figure it out, but you would need a quick reference guide or something to say, "Here are the basics. This is how you do X.""
"When a project plan becomes huge, it is painful to arrange and structure the project in Microsoft Project. Currently, you require a separate product for managing agile projects, and people are using Jira and Rally to manage stories in agile. Primarily, on the software development side, people are kind of moving away from Microsoft Project."
"Tech support needs improvement."
"They could also work on integrations with solutions like Teams. We have all of our project files in Teams and it is much easier to use for communication than MS Project, but there is no integration of the two solutions."
"It would be better if Microsoft Project were included in the DevOps stack. That is, I'd like to see this tool integrated to a different stack of the applications that we normally use in DevOps, such as in Jira, for example, to deploy a different version related to the different tasks that are included in Microsoft Project."
