Find out in this report how the two Project Management Software solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We are considering Bitrix24 as an office automation solution for our workplace productivity-related issues, project management activities, and staff tracking."
"The solution's most valuable feature is its project management functionality...It is a pretty stable solution."
"Initially, Bitrix24 improved the way we operate because we were not previously using a CRM. Before Bitrix24, we tracked everything through Outlook. Now, we have a tool that will automatically put out reports for us."
"The CRM and collaboration tools are well-designed for our purposes. Your projects can be based on tasks, CRM, or opportunities. The task-based features are the most valuable for us right now."
"The data interpretation feature in Bitrix24 is good."
"Bitrix24's workflow is better than that of others. The user interface is also good."
"Collaboration and CRM are the most valuable features of Bitrix24."
"I believe that having one system that handles all of the functions that we need in a business, such as marketing, sales, pipeline management, project management, meetings, customer contact, customer feedback, social media integrations, and connections to our cloud data storage, Google, and Microsoft, is a good idea."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy."
"Resource leveling is very useful. We like this feature. We like to be able to expand tasks and look at different resources and tasks usages. It is good at assigning tasks to teams. It is pretty compliant with the Project Management Institute approach, which is useful for being comprehensive. It allows us to make little Gantt charts and network diagrams."
"Dependencies (not typically effectively used in "Agile" techniques) allow understanding of actual project status and challenges."
"The tool has a simple and excellent approach."
"It comes with our Office 365."
"It is easy to check project costs in the solution."
"They now have MS project Online and they have two levels, so it's easier to access what you need and to choose specifically what you'll use. You can start at a lower level, for example, and be more cost-effective and move up if it suits you."
"I have found that the chart reporting feature is very helpful for us currently."
"The client interface is not very user-friendly."
"Compared to Microsoft, we found Bitrix24 a little complex because it's new to us, and we don't understand it much."
"It's a team management tool, but the way the tasks are assigned and the way you are able to control them are lacking when compared to Asana or monday.com. The latter tools are a lot more adaptable to team management. Thus, better features to control the team are needed in Bitrix24."
"Some functionalities of the tool required specific expertise. For example, the SIP Connector is difficult to install."
"I would like to see improvements with Bitrix24's marketing automation."
"In my opinion, everything needs improvement. It all starts with the user experience. It's extremely difficult to use, it's always lagging, It doesn't look particularly appealing, in terms of how it looks, and it is extremely difficult to locate the stages."
"We didn't have the ability to customize the solution."
"It would be great if colleagues could get alerts via email when they are assigned something."
"Microsoft Project has much room for improvement. The solution is still stuck where it was in 2013. Not much has changed since then. There is a lot that can be changed in the enterprise segment."
"In a future update, the system should be more inclusive and open to everyone, not just limited to one organization. For example, there may be instances where we want to bring in a guest from outside our organization and integrate them into our project. It would be beneficial if the system was more accessible and easy to integrate with other projects. Additionally, it would be great if there was a way to receive notifications, regardless of whether they come from a Gmail domain or another domain, to keep us informed of any incoming tasks."
"I would like to see the inclusion of multi-currency support."
"If Project had a better mechanism to allow those who are not the project manager to see their own work tasks, that would be of help or of value to us."
"They should assist with tedious tasks."
"When a project plan becomes huge, it is painful to arrange and structure the project in Microsoft Project. Currently, you require a separate product for managing agile projects, and people are using Jira and Rally to manage stories in agile. Primarily, on the software development side, people are kind of moving away from Microsoft Project."
"The tool's deployment is complex. Integration and automation also need to be improved."
"It would be better if Microsoft Project were included in the DevOps stack. That is, I'd like to see this tool integrated to a different stack of the applications that we normally use in DevOps, such as in Jira, for example, to deploy a different version related to the different tasks that are included in Microsoft Project."
