Great tool for project planning and management!
Our organization uses Microsoft Project mostly by department. We use this software for various projects such as strategic plans and it's great for creating interactive charts. It offers different views from calendar to diagram view. We share projects timelines among other team members and use it mainly around committee meetings. We use it for team management, project sharing, project status and keeping on time with projects and timelines.
- Interactive gantt charts, you are able to customize, great for project management, planning. The diagram designs tool allows you to track progress.
- Integrated project management tool, keep track of timelines, projects, share with others and track progress and easy way to manage projects
- Streamlined project planning, sharing tools, ability to place files in shared drive.
- Very attractive, user friendly software
- Array of features from progress monitoring, risk issues, integration with SharePoint
- So many tools, users could be overwhelmed and you need to be familiar with tools and it takes a while to adapt to the software. You may even need to be a semi experienced project manager to use the tools. There is a learning curve.
- Sometimes custom fields are not able to be shared, integrated with SharePoint files
- Expensive software for some businesses
- Customer support is not always available
- Limit to available licenses, may be an issue for organizations who require multiple users at a time
- Time management, it has allowed us to complete and execute projects a lot quicker time within the department.
- Easily able to share projects, keep track of timelines
- Ability to assign projects to others and keep track of progress.
- Allows us to quickly work on projects easily as a team
I have used Basecamp which I recommend for all! This is one of my top tools for not only company projects however for projects, meetings, communication outside of work. We use Basecamp for our membership organization's dental meetings in other states to communicate events, chat with participants, send donation requests and organize events on the platform. There really is no learning curve, it's super user friendly, you don't need any experience prior and it's cost effective.

Microsoft Project Server gets the job done
Microsoft Project Server is used as a forecasting and scheduling tool within my organization. The software is intermittently used across the whole organization in addition to other more complex scheduling tools. Microsoft Project Server works well for our simpler forecasting and scheduling needs. It is more user-friendly than other software, therefore allowing people with little or no experience to jump right in.
- User-friendly in managing simple schedules
- Allows for scheduling, resourcing and budgeting collaboration
- Good tool for someone with no scheduling experience
- Resource loading and leveling extremely complicated within the tool
- Software makes incorrect assumptions and changes without user knowledge
- Inconsistencies within the tool make it hard to predict & troubleshoot
- Allowed us to introduce scheduling at a level that people could understand
- Cost-efficient tool
- Tons of resources for training

Project Server - Great for Large Orgs
We use Microsoft Project Server to track project information on a large scale (several hundred projects across many different organizations). Although each department uses Microsoft Project Server in different ways, it is incredibly useful to us because it allows for accurate, up to date, information to be available to the numerous people who interact with different projects. Project managers and team members are able to collaborate more effectively and make changes in real time. Managers are then able to easily run reports to view these changes, or see projects across the board with out having to open projects individually.
- Creates a single source of truth for all projects - All users interacting with the project can view the most recent copy.
- Visibility - Project Managers are able to see all their projects at once, Managers/Admins are able to view all project information without having to open each project individually.
- Customization - Easy to customize project attributes/fields.
- Backup - If someone accidentally publishes something incorrectly, past publishes can be restored.
- Speed - It can be slow at times, but this varies depending on how many projects/users/etc you have.
- Workflows - there are more intuitive solutions available.
- Costs/Resource structure could have more flexibility.
- More customization at the program level.
- More efficient way to run reports.
- More efficient way to make changes across all projects as enterprise fields change.
- More efficient way to manage resources across all departments.
I was not involved in the process of selecting Microsoft Project Server, and this is the only product I have used.
However, the multiplatform integration I think is what makes it so valuable. The access to such a wide variety of products from Microsoft that all work well together make it a tool that is both useful and user friendly enough for people of all skill/experience levels to learn quickly.
