User in Computer Software

Caveman ready interface. It's like an apple product; crack it open and go.

Kryz O.

User in Computer Software

A great tool for planning projects, setting milestones, resources etc. Very easy to use and very quickly get complex projects with multiple tasks

Paul S.

Executive Sponsor in Information Technology and Services

Things haven't evolved over the last couple years and now there are other options out there for managing projects and tracking time.

User in Government Relations

MS Project Server has room to grow in the risk management/decision tools area. The present libraries are enhanced SharePoint lists and not integrated in the schedule and decision/driver libraries. Overall I would give this service a B.
