Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is well established and runs very accurately.""The most valuable features of Microsoft Project are the availability of being online and within Teams. My entire team can use it and see it, versus the full Microsoft Projects, such as Project Professional, you need to have a license.""The solution is stable.""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.""They now have MS project Online and they have two levels, so it's easier to access what you need and to choose specifically what you'll use. You can start at a lower level, for example, and be more cost-effective and move up if it suits you.""It served the purpose. It was pretty user-friendly.""I like that I can change the task and include different resources related to the task.""It comes with our Office 365."
