Microsoft Planner Reviews

“Buckets of Tasks!

Pros

I love this program for its myriad benefits. Being able to attach files, comments, notes, and detailed steps all within one task is truly impressive.

Cons

This software would be greatly improved by adding the ability to schedule tasks for specific times and assigning task steps to individual users.

“Planner

Pros

In this software creating, assigning, and monitoring tasks and progress could be simpler.

Cons

I would appreciate more customizable notifications. Having only the option to receive all or none is not ideal for me.

“Very Useful Tool

Pros

It is a breeze to keep tabs on my various projects and tasks with this tool. Collaborating with teammates is seamless, allowing everyone to stay updated on project statuses and what needs attention.

Cons

I wish I could integrate it into Outlook or another easily accessible platform for reminders. Currently, I keep it open in my browser all the time, which isn't ideal.

“My experience with Microsoft Planner

Pros

This tool is bundled with our existing licensing for Office 365 and Exchange, making it a cost-effective addition. Adding new users through our corporate Microsoft account is a piece of cake, streamlining user administration and licensing management.

Cons

Compared to other tools we have used, they lack dynamism. Obtaining gantt or flow charts is not straightforward.

“The best solution to track your tasks if you are a Microsoft user!

Pros

Whether it is for work projects or personal endeavors, I frequently rely on Planner. It is a fantastic tool for Microsoft users looking to streamline task tracking.

Cons

I hope this tool can improve its copy & paste feature, especially when creating checklists from external files or apps with many items.

“A convenient and intuitive app for task management

Pros

Personally, I find Microsoft Planner to be a lifesaver for team task management, especially with its seamless integration with Microsoft 365. The interface is refreshingly simple and user-friendly, making task organization a joy. Customizing views according to my preferences enhances flexibility, and meeting deadlines becomes a breeze.

Cons

I have encountered no issues since using it, so I am satisfied with its performance.

“A great tool built into the Office suite

Pros

Being an Office product, it seamlessly integrates with my other programs at no extra cost. Consolidating tasks and items from multiple sources into one place for organization is a game-changer.

Cons

It does more than I require! The notifications become bothersome with increased use. Eventually, I started ignoring them, which defeats their purpose and adds extra work to stay organized.

“A basic but versatile tool forms an important part of the Office 365 suite.

Pros

Planner is incredibly user-friendly and offers a great range of functionalities. As part of the Office 365 suite, it's a lightweight yet vital project management tool.

Cons

The most frustrating aspect of Planner is its lack of a public view of boards and tasks. Only team members can track progress. Its integration with Office 365 limits its versatility.
