Find out what your peers are saying about monday.com, Broadcom, ServiceNow and others in Project Portfolio Management."The dashboard is the most valuable feature."
"The reporting features are quite strong. Being able to do team reports and find out what work is pending, what work needs to be done are key in my day-to-day management of the team. The earned value analysis capabilities and critical path capabilities inside the tool help me make sure that I'm keeping the projects on track."
"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."
"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."
"It served the purpose. It was pretty user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Project are you can create critical paths pretty easily, and you can import from an Excel spreadsheet to your task list as you create it during your working sessions with your team."
"A lot of valuable features have been added in the last three years, including scheduling automation and intelligence."
"Being able to get a milestone schedule or a breakdown out of it is valuable. It can integrate into Visio, which is helpful."
"One of the best features is that it is easy to use."
"The user-experience, enhanced performance, and in-hand governance can be improved."
"The Gantt set needs to be improved. The grid lines needs to be more interactive."
"In a future release, the dashboard should improve because there isn't one, I had to create my own."
"The scalability is co-dependent on the stability of the product. We have 4000 users, and at times the product is slow."
"The solution is a basic tool that does not give you analytical insights. It does not have any AI capabilities which can also help to plan."
"Once we commit our status, changing it is hard."
"Microsoft Project could improve the interface, it should be more intuitive. It could be adjusted a little bit to make it a little easier to use and more user-friendly. It is a very powerful tool and it takes people a while to get used to it."
"I am not that close to it anymore, but I know that there were some cut and paste issues when we were trying to move one group of roles to another, and they used to muck up the interdependencies between the tiers, rows, and other things."
"I would like to see more integrations with another software tool."
