Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Project

We are using Microsoft Project to manage customer projects. Microsoft Project is being used in several areas. It is used during the planning phase. Also, it is used during the project execution phase to prepare weekly status reports, to track the project activities. Normally, the project planner is responsible for updating the project activities.
  • Project Gantt View
  • Dependencies between activities
  • The project reports
  • The print preview functionality
  • We have reduced failures.
  • We have increased the efficiency of the deliverables.
Microsoft Project has all the functionalities of the others and Microsoft Project responds to all our needs to control the projects. Additionally, Microsoft Project is part of our licensing of Microsoft products. This advantage is the main key to adopt Microsoft Project against the other alternatives. It also complies with the main technical specifications.
Microsoft Project normally works very well. It doesn't have errors or fails during the work. We have escalated errors very few times. We have received Microsoft support on time, and we solved the incidents or the escalated cases.
