Reviews
| Most Helpful Favorable Review | G2 Crowd User in Marketing and Advertising I like the ease of creating schedules and estimates and the ability to copy an existing project to reuse for another project. This saves tons of time and I can easily make tweaks as needed to accommodate any differences between the projects. Having the... | G2 Crowd User SAP PPM, useful to get end to end picture specially financials connectivity. | G2 Crowd User in Oil & Energy P6 is data driven. What helps is it allows you to customize the reports as per the organization needs. Based on the organization size and needs, the software can be customized. Many times for small organizations/ Or small projects, inputting complex data... | G2 Crowd User in Computer & Network Security Microsoft Project isn't especially visually appealing or flashy, but it does what it's supposed to. Once you figure it out, it's very easy to quickly create a project. |
| Most Helpful Critical Review | G2 Crowd User I know it's also a project management tool but seems complex and less intuitive than other PM tools I've used. I wish we knew how to integrate with our other systems and from what I've heard it's an expensive tool for what we are currently using it for. If... | G2 Crowd User in Pharmaceuticals The program can be confusing for a new user with no real base level understanding of project management. I would like to be guided along when utilzing a project management tool and there is none of that. Its kind of trial by fire! I also hate that it makes... | David C. User in Government Administration Not very user friendly and our company is probably only using about 20% of the capabilities of Primavera. Training for the program has a high learning curve. | G2 Crowd User in Government Relations MS Project Server has room to grow in the risk management/decision tools area. The present libraries are enhanced SharePoint lists and not integrated in the schedule and decision/driver libraries. Overall I would give this service a B. |
