What differentiates Microsoft Project from other similar products?

A workflow and project management program that integrates all the tools that are supported by Microsoft. The tool features Gantt Charts also with built-in report template and workflows. MS planner is also integrated along with all other major Business-related 3rd party tools.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

A friendly easy to use program that allowed us to properly manage our projects and resources. The tool supports Gantt Charts that are easy to build using the built-in template available only data set is needed to be entered. The tool is somewhat difficult at first glance and some training is required for new team members along with a very expensive price tag.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The project report is sometime buggy with an unresponsive print preview. The program is expensive and licensing all projects can take a lot of capital.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

The tool is not designed for small firms as most of the analytics work best when a bulk of data sets are available.
