What do you dislike most about this product?
The truth is that the configuration and organization of future plans and projects within this program can be somewhat tedious and much more so when it comes to the mobile applications that this software offers us, this mobile version is not at all organic to use, it can be very difficult to have a good handling from my device, since the program does not show a very comfortable proposal to use.

What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?
The user-friendly interface of MS Project enables them to quickly move between grids, boards, and Gantt charts to visualize and monitor task progress as necessary. Teams that are integrated with Microsoft Teams can collaborate and share files, chat, and hold meetings. Distributed team members can make simultaneous changes to a task. Teams can stay on schedule with automated scheduling based on effort, time, and resources. Users using Power BI, which is built on the Power Platform, may design interactive dashboards to highlight key aspects of each project.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Integration Microsoft Project is almost incomparable when it comes to integrating with the market-leading Microsoft 365 Office package, which is widely used. Together with easier connectivity with Azure and other Microsoft platforms, the project management software works flawlessly with Microsoft Teams, Skype, Power BI, and SharePoint. Microsoft Excel and other Microsoft programs have a ribbon interface. Dependability Among project management solutions, Microsoft Project software is a pioneer.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Needs Training Over time, MS Project has gotten more user-friendly, but one of its drawbacks is that novice users may still find it intimidating. In order to avoid becoming lost in Project's rich but complicated UX, which can result in underuse and missing big-picture goals, persons who are propelled into project management jobs out of necessity or as informal project managers will need to invest a significant amount of time in training. Cost Constraints Software for managing projects from Microsoft is accessible both on-premises and in the cloud.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The well-known scheduling capabilities in Microsoft Project allow users to list tasks, assign them to team members, and specify information like length and due dates. Project managers can manage schedules using a variety of views, including grid view, board view, and timeline/Gantt chart view. It was designed with collaboration in mind and supports co-authoring so that project teams and other stakeholders can update and modify task lists, project timelines, job dependencies, and task priorities. Teams can also use MS Project to submit timesheets because it tracks both project and non-project time and connects it to billing or payroll.
