"Simple Product for generic planning / kanban use"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Planner?

Ease of use is great selling point of this. low skill users don't have a problem with it. It's also good on multiple devices and is flexible in how its used. Integration with MS suite is a big plus, particularly teams, power automate and sharepoint - and they seem to be developing it at a reasonable pace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Planner?

It lacks complex features that some may desire and customisation is limited - you can't colour code in calendar view for example. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MS Planner is a simple, but effective card based task management tool!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Planner?

MS Planner is a great tool for existing MS/Office 365 users who need a basic card (Kanban) task/project management tracker tool. It is very easy to use and it is fully integrated into the rest of the MS suite like Teams and free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Planner?

MS Planner doesn't have as much functionality as other dedicated tools like Monday, Asana, AirTable, etc. Although there are updates to MS Planner, there aren't as many innovative or groundbreaking changes like the main Office 365 products like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint.

"Excellent tool for project management, tracking, and team collaboration"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Planner?

I like that Planner allows me to track, edit, and add details for both individual projects, in addition to team projects. This is a great tool for my team to be up to date and collaborate on projects that require more than one person. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Planner?

Planner is setup well and isn't overally unique as I believe there are other project management software that provide similiar functions and features. I think the integration with other Microsoft products could be smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simplistic tool that lacks enhanced features"
2/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Planner?

It's easy to create a task with the regular fields you'd excpet from a task planner. Due dates, tags, adding colleagues to tasks, uploading documetns, and commenting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Planner?

It's more advanced features are severely lacking, such as notifications for anyone on a task. For them to get notified via email, they have to comment on the task, which is quite unhelpful when working on important projects with strict deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Straightforward, Basic Planner Tool for MS Office Users"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Microsoft Planner?

Very low barriers to implement. Well integrated with MS Office apps and intuitive for anyone already using the Office suite (free with 365). Useful to monitor straightforward and repetitive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Planner?

Best suited to smaller organizations and simpler projects. Really more of planning/task management tool than a full project management tool, as it does not include time/risk management nor does have a dashboard to view multiple projects at the same time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Planner?

It would be good if it it interfaced with Microsoft Todo a little bit better and was intuitive enough to find e-mails of relevance instead of just documents/spreadsheets from OneDrive and SharePoint. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
