We performed a comparison between Bitrix24 and Microsoft Project based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Bitrix24 is ideal for creating a CRM platform. It can integrate some third-party solutions, and it's highly flexible."
"We are considering Bitrix24 as an office automation solution for our workplace productivity-related issues, project management activities, and staff tracking."
"It is a very scalable solution...The tool currently operates efficiently and contributes to our ongoing digitization efforts, including documentation and workflows."
"The CRM and collaboration tools are well-designed for our purposes. Your projects can be based on tasks, CRM, or opportunities. The task-based features are the most valuable for us right now."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its project management functionality...It is a pretty stable solution."
"It is easy to use and very stable."
"The product is user-friendly."
"The technical support was intuitive and had good documentation."
"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 features I find the most valuable are scheduling and reporting."
"We have not had any problems with Microsoft's technical support. We are happy with the support."
"The most valuable feature of Microsoft Project is scheduling. The solution is useful on a daily basis."
"A lot of valuable features have been added in the last three years, including scheduling automation and intelligence."
"The most valuable feature is probably the Kanban diagram. People are familiar with the Kanban tools. When they do their scrum meetings, they have that Kanban board where you can see the different tiles for all the queries and move them from left to right. IT is familiar with that because, for development, most of the tools have that capability. It could also be more graphical, like Asana."
"Resource leveling is very useful. We like this feature. We like to be able to expand tasks and look at different resources and tasks usages. It is good at assigning tasks to teams. It is pretty compliant with the Project Management Institute approach, which is useful for being comprehensive. It allows us to make little Gantt charts and network diagrams."
"The setup is pretty simple."
"The solution's open channel and contact center could be improved."
"This solution was built using old technology which is now mixed with new technologies. This can make it challenging to get new features live."
"The solution’s performance could be made faster."
"There are some bugs in the mobile system."
"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."
"In my opinion, everything needs improvement. It all starts with the user experience. It's extremely difficult to use, it's always lagging, It doesn't look particularly appealing, in terms of how it looks, and it is extremely difficult to locate the stages."
"I would like to see improvements with Bitrix24's marketing automation."
"It's a team management tool, but the way the tasks are assigned and the way you are able to control them are lacking when compared to Asana or monday.com. The latter tools are a lot more adaptable to team management. Thus, better features to control the team are needed in Bitrix24."
"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."
"It would be better if there were more access to Agile implementations."
"I find the setup a little bit cumbersome."
"The licensing cost is expensive and has room for improvement."
"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."
"It's hard to reach technical people to get the help you need."
"I would like to have more access to templates and tools that could be used to teach project management best practices."
"In a future update, the system should be more inclusive and open to everyone, not just limited to one organization. For example, there may be instances where we want to bring in a guest from outside our organization and integrate them into our project. It would be beneficial if the system was more accessible and easy to integrate with other projects. Additionally, it would be great if there was a way to receive notifications, regardless of whether they come from a Gmail domain or another domain, to keep us informed of any incoming tasks."
