Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project

I use Microsoft Project to plan and execute IT projects at the customer facility I work at. This keeps track of in-house projects that are done at the facility level and do not require higher-level planning. This allows me to keep track of everything associated with these projects and serves to meet customer needs.

Pros

  • Plan project tasks.
  • Execute project tasks.
  • Provides management tracking of project completion.

Cons

  • The clunky interface is occasionally hard to use.
  • Help articles are not always clear and concise.
  • Feature integration is lacking.
  • Eliminates paper tracking of projects.
  • Reduces project mistakes and duplication of effort.
  • Keeps us aligned with our customers.
The help articles are useful but can occasionally be less than helpful (missing information, broken links, etc.). This may be a result of my personal installation and not represent an actual issue with the product.

Would you buy Microsoft Project again?

Yes

Overall, it is the best project management tool I have seen for the money (represents the best value). It comes with Office 2016/Office 365 so it allows me to plan and execute projects without having to purchase additional project management software. Additionally, it allows for management oversight of project and task completion.
