"Good overall but very picky and not so userfriendly."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

I love the automatically generated gantt charts and the timeline feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

Everything you enter has to be just so so, it is very picky and quirky. Finding out just exactly how or what needs to be done is not very intuative either. If you do not do a lot of pre-work before putting your plan together most of the reports are work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management solving and how is that benefiting you?

creating easily readable project files with gantt charts was sometimes difficult before we started using MS Project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamline Project Management with Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management"

4/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

One of the standout features of Microsoft PPM is its intuitive and user-friendly interface. Navigating through the software and accessing various functionalities is a breeze, even for users with limited technical expertise. The ability to customize dashboards and reports according to my specific needs has greatly enhanced my productivity and decision-making capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management?

Complexity for Small Projects: The software is primarily designed for large-scale projects with complex requirements. For small-scale projects or those with simpler workflows, Microsoft PPM might feel overly complex and feature-heavy. It can be challenging to customize the software to fit the specific needs of smaller projects, leading to unnecessary complexities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The project planning capabilities of Microsoft PPM are exceptional. The software allows me to create detailed project schedules, define task dependencies, allocate resources, and track progress effortlessly.

Additionally, the integration with other Microsoft tools such as Excel and SharePoint enables seamless data exchange and collaboration among team members Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
