Microsoft Project in engineering, especially in construction management, is not only for managing the time and the project itself. It also best for a big construction firm to have a daily basis of their progress. To know the efficiency of individual contractors inside the project if you're the project manager. The software may help you understand each group of workers' behavior based on their project and based on your personal judgment on their work.

Microsoft support itself is a great factor in buying or subscribing to their yearly subscription. Their cloud-based software which you can easily collaborate with other departments or other contractor is a great advantage to the company. Weekly progress based on the software can produce an assumption that will drive you to a conclusion on how skilled is your workers that have been assigned to a particular area.

What do you dislike most about this product?

To be honest, I've nothing at all bad to state about this software. Being in the enterprise, our only concern will be the pace of examining and updating the program with characteristics that improve the general performance.
