Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • There are many positives with this program, the various features are nicely explained within the program and are easy to use. For example, the GANTT chart features and customization options provides a wonderful illustration of the tasks and overall course of the project. The user interface of the product is excellent and meets or exceeds other Microsoft branded products.
  • It has helped my team stay on track with projects in our office, allows for us to see the trajectory of the next few months in a detailed way, and has several layouts for folks to choose what is the best for them. My favorite part of projects is its integration with other Microsoft products, since my office uses these exclusively. It enhances the value of Projects, Teams, etc since they all work seamlessly together!
  • Microsoft Project allows firms to be in charge of all the procedures and operations that are conducted within the company. More so, Microsoft Project brings accuracy in terms of payments and costs management. Further, Microsoft Project concentrates on better cloud space, for projects and database.
  • This program is great for the price that you pay for. It has all the features that you would need to create schedules, log time, manpower, cost to it like other programs for less cost.
  • Microsoft Project is very user friendly and easy to pick up. It's great for creating and updating construction schedules.

Cons

  • I had access to Microsoft Project via my educational institution and I used this access for both academic projects and personal usage. That said my only real con for this program is the cost, the cost for this product is fairly high and the yearly subscription for the on-premise versions varies from several hundred to over a thousand which is cost-prohibitive to many smaller entities.
  • There was a steep learning curve to the software, and I still feel like we are not utilizing it fully. There are lots of online forums and guides, but it is not as user friendly as I'd like it to be on its own.
  • Microsoft Project is a stable and focused program for managing all operations, however, Microsoft Project requires a swift price control, to bring more clients. There is better management of operations using Microsoft Project, but credible price rates are vital.
  • It's a bit of a learning curve using this program but once you get a hang of it then it's really easy to use and update.
  • I don't really like the cost/accounting portion of Project. It may be helpful to some, but I prefer to keep the accounting portion out of my project schedule.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The best part about Office Timeline is it can export timelines into various document & image formats. The intuitive interface for adding & customizing time elements is also amazing.
  • Quickly creates impressive timelines with professional templates, Intuitive interface for adding & customizing timeline elements. Ability to auto update timelines when data changes in Excel.
  • Office Timeline gives us the credibility of managing all the tasks in an office. Again, Office Timeline elaborates the roles and the procedures which individual employees require. The good time management aspect of Office Timeline is another consideration.
  • Intuitive user interface and easy set-up. Wide array of templates allows for different visual styles. Detailed guided instructions allow new users to get up and running quickly. Also easily integrates with Excel and other programs for added functionality. Good pricing and customer service.
  • I liked how user friendly and intuitive the interface was immediately. It made implementation extremely simple for my team and as a result, little time was lost to training.

Cons

  • In my opinion the free plan has to had to some more advanced features for the people on the free plan to test it properly before buying the full version.
  • Limited customization compared to building timelines from scratch, Lack of advanced product management capabilities.
  • Office Timeline improves the credibility of every activity, and there is accurate design and flawless operations.
  • Support is limited to an online database outside of normal working hours (but is excellent and responsive during business hours).
  • The customer service was intermittent and unreliable. We did not need it often, but when we did, it was difficult to receive consistent support that mattered.
