“The best project management app so far”
Pros
Project management focused on service delivery becomes seamless with this software allowing the tracking of all projects and task schedules. It is user-friendly even for beginners with seamless collaboration when working and viewing projects with other teams.

Time allocation to projects while working with multiple teams is a setback to the app. Some features are sophisticated but also require a high level of technicality to operate them. Microsoft Project doesn't perfectly integrate with other project management apps; developers should address this.

“Project - another lackadaisical software that needs major overhaul”
Pros
Despite its complexity and difficulty in understanding MS Project has not undergone major updates for years. It lacks natural integration with other MS products particularly in the 365 suite and has not made significant collaborative strides. The software largely unchanged for over a decade is not recommended for large enterprises especially with the challenges of remote work.
Cons
No major updates for years. It still feels like it is in the dark ages. Decades and still no Mac version. It just feels like you are using software that has been ignored for a very long time.

“Good alternative but a bit pricey”
Pros
For many years Microsoft Project was the go-to software for project management and many older users continue using it for this reason. It is well-designed and a solid alternative particularly for experienced users.
Cons
It looks like Microsoft Project got stuck in time. Newer alternatives are easier to use and the design is prettier. Microsoft Project like other Office apps is just too boxed into the Office style apps. In other words it lacks innovations and doesn't help users' creativity.
