Celoxis vs Microsoft Project Server

Likelihood to Recommend

Celoxis is an extraordinary PMS, no doubt. I like that they keep the rundowns and reports basic yet still amazing. It is agile in light of the fact that it utilizes message instead of a lot of illustrations impacts and so forth. You can create a wide assortment of reports. It includes free customer entries which my customers love. It has an exceptionally ground-breaking highlight where you can characterize your own application with its very own work process, custom fields and so on. It has a trigger system too to change conditions of applications when reactions are given, which is extremely valuable.

Microsoft Project Server I believe is best for any organization from small to large. As I mentioned, it is a little pricey so I would do research into alternative software and depending on your needs maybe look at all options, competing software. This is a tool with a learning curve and some may not be able to easily navigate this software. There isn't really great training, resources available for this tool however there are some free YouTube tutorial videos. This is great for cross company, department project management, sharing, managing of projects and timelines.

Project planning: tasks assignments, resources allocation, progress and cost tracking. The Server version is the natural extension of the Microsoft Project standalone.
Provides one place to manage all projects, accessible by everyone in the team. This opens the plan updates to team members as well(on their tasks), as opposed to being done only by the project manager.
Reporting and visualization - resources utilization, timeline etc
The integration with the Microsoft Project standalone: if you don't like the web version, you can download the latest and work locally. When done just sync it back to the server.

One of the key advantages of Microsoft Project Server (MSPS) is its ecosystem. It gels very well with SharePoint, Office, Office 365. The support from Microsoft is also a key driver and they are very experienced and many ways to resolve issues. Also, Microsoft has bridged the gap of cloud offering from other competitors by providing Project Online. It is an offering through Office 365 which is very lean and low maintenance.

We've been able to reduce the number of staff in our PMO by utilising the Project Server data in Power BI, reducing the need for manual reporting.
Being able to forecast utilization in the product allows us to accurately estimate resource needs to ensure optimum staff levels.
