"Easy Task Tracking with Seamless Microsoft 365 and Teams Integration"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Microsoft Planner?

What I like most is how easy it is to organize work with it. I use it to track tasks, assign work, set due dates, and monitor progress without making everything feel complicated. The board view is straightforward, so I can quickly see what’s pending, what’s in progress, and what’s already completed.

Because it’s part of Microsoft 365, it integrates smoothly with Teams and other Microsoft apps I use every day. That’s convenient, since I don’t have to jump between a bunch of different tools just to check tasks and updates.

Overall, it’s a solid tool for keeping small projects and day-to-day work organized. It helps the team stay aligned and on the same page without adding unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Planner?

I don’t have any major complaints overall, but I do think it could benefit from a few more advanced project management features. For straightforward task tracking it’s great, yet on larger projects with complex dependencies or a need for more detailed reporting, it can start to feel a bit limited.

I’ve also found that digging up historical task information or generating in-depth reports isn’t as flexible as I’d like. Having a few more built-in reporting options would make a noticeable difference.

Other than that, it’s easy to use and has worked well for my day-to-day task management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Planner solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps organize work in a much more structured way. Rather than keeping task lists scattered across emails or spreadsheets, everything is in one place, so the team can easily see assignments, priorities, due dates, and overall progress.

In day-to-day work, it’s especially helpful for planning activities, tracking what’s still pending, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks. Because everyone can view the status of tasks, communication is smoother, and there’s less need for constant follow-ups.

The biggest benefit for me is the improved visibility. It helps me stay organized, manage my workload more efficiently, and gives the team a clear picture of what still needs to be completed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
