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."It's an easy solution to set up."
"It is easy to define timelines with Microsoft Project."
"The solution is well established and runs very accurately."
"The built-in dashboards are powerful because they show both project and overall progress."
"Microsoft Project is used to track the project delivery and the project management."
"The reporting and national resource capacity planning are the most valuable features."
"In my experience, this solution is one of the best for the waterfall management model."
"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."
"It allows us to get everyone on the same page at their local terminal without having to sync everyone on ten different software solutions."
"We have project overviews to keep track of each client and project and I can also see what the other managers are doing."
"The mobile application is an absolute breeze to work with."
"Support from Monday.com makes you feel super comfortable communicating any inquiries you may have."
"Monday is very easy to use and is very user-friendly."
"My favorite feature is time tracking."
"The subitems make it crystal clear what tasks are done, in progress, or complete."
"All employees can access it so everyone is in the know of what jobs are coming in and what jobs are going out."
"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."
"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."
"The stability of the solution is an area with certain shortcomings that need improvement."
"It has a bit of a learning curve since there are a lot of features in it, and we haven't really gotten a chance to train through the whole product."
"We'd like the solution to have better integration with other third-party and open-source solutions."
"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 should be easier to break things. Breaking up the visualization from the task is sometimes a little bit tricky to do. You can do it, but it takes a minute. It's not an easy function to do. The way you have to format it and stuff like that takes a minute."
"I find that I sometimes have used the "status" column has input values other than done, working on it, etc., which conflicts with this bigger picture, and over the years is building up in a way that looks daunting as I'm not sure how to go back and mark it another way, so I skip it."
"Speed and reliability need to be better."
"While great, the shareable boards lack some features that normal boards possess and that’s a big burden for us."
"It would be good to include more automated features that are easy to set up between different boards."
"There are minor bugs that delete information or don’t autosave information placed. It doesn’t happen often, however, when it does it is inconvenient."
"One item we feel we is missing is more board templates that would allow us to work within the agile methodology."
"We'd love the ability to be able to build and export reports based on multiple boards."
"We have always wanted to be able to perform a global search for a phone number."
