This tool has been very useful for me when working on a project, as it allows me to create an activity schedule for the tasks to be performed throughout the project, ensuring control and information management. It also allows me to work professionally and without errors.

Pros

I enjoy using Microsoft Project because it has helped me manage projects in my work area, whether with planning, organizing, or tracking the tasks that need to be completed within the project. Additionally, Microsoft Project allows me to create a task schedule, manage resources, analyze costs, and view detailed reports.

Cons

What I don’t like about Microsoft Project is that it’s very complex to learn because it has multiple options that aren’t easy to grasp.

It has been great for the majority of high-rise residential building projects in which I have worked. It allowed us to control the project schedule accurately throughout the project duration.

Pros

It has an easy learning curve as it brings a similar interface to other Microsoft software such as Excel.

Cons

It can have potential limitations when dealing with highly complex construction projects or if you need to work simultaneously with other team members.

In general, the best thing Microsoft Project has going for it, is that it's been around forever; most people are already familiar with it.

Pros

Microsoft Project is ubiquitous, and as such extra training is usually not required. The average person is already a user.

Cons

As time has gone by, the competition has improved more then Microsoft Project. There is open source SW which is more intuitive and easy to use.

Microsoft Project is a valuable tool for organizing and tracking HR projects. Its comprehensive planning features supported effective project management, though the platform could be more intuitive for faster navigation.

Pros

I liked Microsoft Project’s robust project tracking and timeline features. It made it easy to organise tasks, set deadlines, and manage resources, which was especially helpful for coordinating HR initiatives.

Cons

The interface was complex and could feel overwhelming, especially when managing multiple projects, making it challenging to quickly access key features without extensive setup.

Pros

Great tool for Project Managers, lots of options, great support and very common used in the market.

Cons

It has the usual Microsoft problems: A bit heavy to use, feels like driving a tank with bicycle pedals. Also not the most expensive, but not cheap indeed.

Microsoft Project's resource management feature is another key benefit. It is possible to prevent resource misuse and balance job distribution by using the platform's extensive insights about resource allocation, availability, and workload. Ensuring timely and budget-conscious project delivery and maximizing team productivity depend on this capacity.

Pros

Microsoft Project's strong and extensive project management features are what I like most about it as the Director of ICT Operations. Offering a wide range of capabilities to help with scheduling, planning, and resource management, Microsoft Project excels at handling complicated projects. We can readily view project timeframes, dependencies, and key paths thanks to its intuitive Gantt chart capability, which is helpful. Efficient monitoring of project progress and prompt detection of possible bottlenecks or delays are made possible by this visual representation.
Its compatibility with other Microsoft programs, like Teams, Excel, and SharePoint, is yet another noteworthy aspect. This smooth connectivity makes it possible to import and export project data with ease, encouraging departmental collaboration and guaranteeing that everyone is aware of every development.

Cons

It is less affordable for businesses that do not need all of the complex capabilities it offers due to its price structure, which can be somewhat pricey, especially for the cloud-based version.

Cons

Good project management tool and user friendly, but it has too much automation which cause false values, especially in tasks management. Also, it is a very expensive and licensed limited software, therefore, unless your company is a multinational corporation, I don't recommend it since there are a lot of less expensive project management tool on the market that have the exact same features.

Pros

Microsoft Project fully integrates with all Microsoft 365 tools and it is super user friendly to use.

Cons

Not good if your clients need to collaborate on the tasks progress because it requires your clients to have an MS Project license which most don't have. Also, MS Project auto-calculate realisation time by the amount of days you set for a task which doesn't reflect the real time in hours for the task. Finally, it is an insanely expensive tool, there are far more less expensive project management tools that have the same exact features.

It is very easy to even integrate with out microsoft tools like powe bi,excel etc.
It also offers a good amount of customization too.

Cons

One of the cons is that ms project is very expensive compared to its competative product out there in the market.
Even the UI is bit complex and handling large projects become difficult.

It has been a pleasant experience using Microsoft Project. If you can get past the learning curve of using the software, then you have so much potential for business unlocked here. It can bring teams and even whole companies together on a subject and help everyone to be on the same page. Definitely worth taking some time to familiarize yourself with

Pros

Love the capabilities of this app. I enjoy how it can be used industry-wide and can help everyone be on the same page and coordinate together. Subtasks are helpful as well

Cons

There is a bit of a learning-curve to this app. Some aspects can be difficult to figure out. There also seems to be a lack of real-time updates when collaborating on projects
