Tricky to understand fully, can be overwhelming

What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?
I have only had exposure to MS project / PWA and connot comment on how it compares.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Being able to connect it to PBI for senior management reporting and dashboards. A wealth of data is available in the tool, and provided it is set up and used correctly it is extremely effective at tracking programme or project statuses.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The breadth of fields to use can be overwhelming, and where sharepoint connects to the schedule for document tracking I feel that the access reporting falls over a bit. It is unclear who retains access to a project container once users are removed from the build team. In addition, if a project must be closed, removing access from the project schedule impacts the timesheet data, but not the sharepoint element, making it a very messy experience from a project governance perspective. This is particularly true when trying to remove access to prevent unintended document changes post project.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Ensure that your organisation has a clear understanding of it's project governance as well as a medium tern roadmap to ensure the build / implementation does not stall due to poor planning. In addition, your organisation will need to understand the skills of those running the projects versus the system capability and ensure a balanced approach is found. Also ensure that stakeholders from all areas are included, as early feedback in input is critical in successful delivery. If you can achieve this, BAU will be simple and painless
Pros
- Security Protects
- Respectful
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features
