Find out in this report how the two Project Portfolio Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."There are many valuable features of this solution. It is very advanced and once you understand and learn how to use it, it can be quite powerful. The whole package can be quite powerful."
"The most valuable feature of the solution stems from the fact that the tool's reporting is very good."
"Capacity management and task baselining are the most valuable features of Microsoft Project Server."
"Microsoft Project Server is simple to use."
"The product is user-friendly."
"This is a scalable solution. It is easy to set up and to add clusters to your environment."
"A single place for all our organisation's project records."
"We use Microsoft Project Server for project management."
"Our teams deployed Trello to gain a comprehensive overview of pre-sales activity, monitor project progress, create detailed task lists, and track action items - all critical components for streamlining our organization's operations."
"You receive notifications if mentioned on a card."
"What I like the most about Trello is how engaging and efficient it is. I like that it allows me to monitor which tasks have been completed and which ones haven't by removing a particular card away from the board, stating that the task has been done."
"The usability of this solution is its most valuable feature. It offers a great flow of creating a business rule that allows you to just add identifiers and qualifiers."
"I can see everything on one page, like sticky notes. It's very, very easy to use and very straightforward."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around the mobile version of the product that was easy to use."
"Trello is quite easy to learn. The features that are available in the current version are enough to do your basic documentation and management."
"The solution is very user-friendly, where you have everything you need."
"This is a good product but we have struggled with stability from time to time. The service has stopped intermittently and it has been difficult to find a reason why."
"The solution should be made more collaborative."
"The initial setup was complex."
"Project Server could be improved by simplifying how tasks are assigned and reviewed on a daily basis."
"The solution could have more compact dashboards, such as one finds with Planview."
"We are on the on-prem version. The cloud, however, gives more regular updates that we can take advantage of."
"I'd like it if we could divide out the project calendars. On one project server, we might follow five projects or more at one time, and we'd like to see all of the items at once so that it becomes a long loop, but one where we can identify different projects in tandem and then focus on which we need to at the time. While I only have visibility into one, I'd like to see several at a time."
"The reporting aspects can be improved, which is one of the reasons why I'm using Qlik Sense. In the older on-prem versions, reporting was lackluster, to say the least. Project Online has a better handle on that. However, we will still be using Qlik Sense. We're also looking at an add-on app from a company called OnePlan that adds some additional functionality where Microsoft is not as clean in its approach for things such as portfolio management and some of the trends analysis."
"Being able to export reports from Trello, general reports, or board reports, would improve the solution for me as a manager."
"Reporting features could be improved."
"It would be great if there was a tour for new users to explain how this solution works. Using this solution for the first time can feel complicated."
"It is not a scalable product."
"It would be good if we could update the project status by email without logging into Trello."
"Users should be able to log their time against the tasks and visual reports should be available in Trello for time spent."
"Trello could add an analytic tool that allows me to see the performance of each team member, answering questions like whether they meet the deadline or miss the deadline."
"If there are pre-done templates or suggested templates for various fields, they would be helpful for me as a coach."
