Review Summary
Summarized from 27 verified reviews · Updated September 2026
Microsoft Project earns consistent praise for its ease of use and intuitive interface, with users noting its familiarity to other Microsoft Office applications. The software excels at resource management, scheduling, task tracking, and analyzing project workloads, making it particularly suitable for complex, large-scale projects. However, reviewers frequently cite its high cost as a significant drawback, and some note limitations in collaboration capabilities, flexibility for certain project types, and a steep learning curve for inexperienced users. A few users mention it lacks modern data visualization features compared to newer alternatives.

Microsoft project is an excellent program. I use it for my business https://www.partyhiregroup.com.au/ and it works well for project. I particularly love baselining projects to find the critical path and then working through that to make the project run faster.

“MS Project has the same appearance and feel as the other Microsoft Office applications”

We AlanHarder.ca use Microsoft Project. It is the most effective piece of software for managing projects. yet, because there are so few tutorials and pointers available, it can be intimidating for those who are just starting out in the field of project management. However, trained professionals will appreciate the incredibly detailed detail that is available for each task and resource, regardless of whether the help in question is a particular person, a role, physical stuff, or something else. Reporting is similarly sophisticated, with both pre-built and configurable reports that can be instantly exported to Microsoft PowerPoint for those unavoidable management summaries. Additionally, the reports can be viewed in a variety of formats, including PDF, HTML, and Excel. Integration with tools that Microsoft does not make is, however, somewhat limited.

“Great software”

Overall rating5.0

According to my experience, after using different project management software at HomeWorkingClub.com, I would suggest that if you want to get into task dependencies and critical paths, Microsoft Project remains a great choice.

“I think Microsoft Project is better for large projects”

Overall rating4.0

I use it for my internal business purpose at The Party People. I personally use Microsoft project to manage my own projects. I like how it handles dependencies and resourcing. The software has its own limitations so not perfect scores but it’s the best in my opinion.

“Not so much satisfied, if compared to other softwares”

Overall rating2.0

The pros of using Project is that it’s similar to other Office products. That’s also a con since it can be very complex compared to apps such as Trello. It’s also very expensive compared to other apps since you can get full functionality at $30 per user per month. It does its job very well, but for the money, as a CMO of Chanty, I would rather go with something like Asana, Trello or Monday, or perhaps even Jira.
