What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?

Microsoft Project helps to reconcile financials and monitor the entire schedule, phases, and stages of projects, as well as the budgetary and financial schedule. This allows them to identify any potential issues and make adjustments as needed to stay within budget.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I use Microsoft Project to plan, schedule, and track progress on my projects. I can assign tasks, set deadlines, and monitor the status of each task in real-time. The software helps me create detailed project plans, timelines, and schedules. Resources input time sheets for official billing records into Project Online which allows for easy access and tracking of time spent on projects for billing purposes.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Microsoft Project is a complex platform to use, and it doesn't have a mobile app; so accessing project status may be difficult when members are moving.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

We primarily use Microsoft Project across the organization to manage multiple of subcontract jobs and to effectively allocate resources. It is easy to execute and control according to our requirements, and has contributed our in planning and delivering projects on time.
