More LiquidPlanner Pros →

"Microsoft Project Server helps organizations in collaboration.""The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is stable to use, especially since I work with Microsoft for an extended period.""The solution is stable.""Capacity management and task baselining are the most valuable features of Microsoft Project Server.""The usability is excellent.""The stability of the 2019 version is quite good.""Technical support is very responsive - particularly on critical tickets.""I like the way you can build the schedule by the Don't Start Before or Don't Start After values. You can use it to build your schedule based on how you change your dates. This is how it actually builds the schedule."

Cons
"It is a little rigorous in its methodology and is cumbersome. For example, I have a hard stop date and I would like a project to end by a specific date, but this is not how this solution works. It sorts of spits out the project date based on your resource availability, dependencies, and so on. This sort of project planning works in theory, but that's not always the case. It also relies heavily on resources entering their time into the system, that is, how much time they worked on each of the tasks so that it can sort of consistently update the project. I know that in a lot of organizations, including ours, it is almost impossible to get them to track the time. In terms of additional features, they can include more integration with Microsoft because integration is going to be a key functionality."

More LiquidPlanner Cons →

"The cost could be lower.""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.""EPM 2010 UI seems a bit dated now that 2016 is available.""Microsoft is going to integrate the Co-Pilot features into Microsoft Project. The AI feature is an additional feature. It can look at the plan and identify risks early on from any part of your project.""Permission management needs improvement.""The price of the product must be improved.""The product's UI is not very user-friendly.""We want to expand to the local level where we lack strong IT expertise, we are considering making it more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice
Information Not Available
  • "I think they need more flexibility with licensing, because there are preconceived ideas that don't allow as much flexibility with the various licenses."
  • "The licensing was procured before my involvement."
  • "It has features that cannot be bought by other rivals, so cost does not matter."
  • "It is on the expensive side."
  • "There is a licensing cost."
  • "There is an annual license required for this solution."
  • "I cannot comment on the price as I was not responsible for purchasing the solution."
  • "I'm not quite sure about the licensing costs. We're probably paying somewhere in the neighborhood of about 80,000 to 90,000 a year for our current on-prem because we handle our own licensing. As far as Project Online is concerned, we're still trying to get a good handle on that. It looks like it is going to be in a neighborhood of about 120,000 to 150,000 a year, but we're getting a lot more capability out of it."

    Top Answer:The ability to track a project's progress using Microsoft Project Server is the most valuable aspect. It depends, especially when managing multiple projects.
    Top Answer:The solution is very expensive. It is a part of my enterprise database. I am paying a subscription for it. It doesn't cost for hardware but for other tools to use.
