Quratulain Habib, PMP Partner / Director / Head of Projects Chose Microsoft Planner While Asana and Trello are mature products, Planner is getting there pretty quickly.

User Testimonials
	Freedcamp	Microsoft Planner
Likelihood to Recommend	I think Freedcamp is best suited when you have to delegate tasks to team members and you can just follow their progress on the app without them having to come and inform you every time. It makes both delegation of tasks and follow-up on the team effortless. Moreover, it serves as a fantastic reminder for recurring tasks. Rubina Mandlik Project Manager Read full review	Microsoft Planner is a user-friendly visual tool for organizing tasks and workflows. It’s great for team collaboration, integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 tools like Teams and Outlook, and offers flexibility for projects of all sizes. Additionally, it provides mobile and web access for seamless productivity on the go. That’s a big plus right there. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	project management organization task management Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I love the ability to tag and untag others as needed I love the ability to customize the tag labels and that there are so many options I love the ability to add comments and it notifies the others tagged in the task I love that the task description can be changed as needed without notification to others assigned to the task Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Does not allow you to view all tasks and sub-tasks (checklist) in a nested view. Comments have character limits that can make it harder for teams to communicate exactly what they want to share. There is no way to mention a teammate in a comment and share files and documents in the conversation (collaborative tool???). Fernanda Ministerio Especialista de Desenvolvimento Industrial Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	I always come back to using Freedcamp, I've used others, but keep coming back. John Hawker Senior Network Architect Read full review	It is a very useful tool that brings teams in sync with one another. The integration with other Microsoft products makes it an obvious choice because you don't have to purchase a license for a completely different tool that doesn't have cross-functional capabilities with the software you already use on a daily basis. Incentivized Richard (Ric) Hazel Strategy Planning Advisor Read full review
Usability	I have people who struggle to use PC's using Freedcamp, so it's that easy to understand in the basic form. I've also had high-level CTOs using Freedcamp, so it covers all areas. John Hawker Senior Network Architect Read full review	The tool is easy to use, but it is just as easy to set up. No specific skills are required, but its usefulness in our work is immediately apparent. Colors are very helpful in creating a clear interface and providing a very precise overview of the tasks to be performed. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Especially a few years ago when Freedcamp was first starting, I needed support, sometimes, I'd find a bug as a heavy user, Igor and Angel are great people who are quick to reply and help you as well as the other great staff. Freedcamp's support is the best of any software product I use. John Hawker Senior Network Architect Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	If you like Asana, you'll like Freedcamp. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Our organization chose MS Planner because it is an included tool in the MS Suite, and since we are unfortunately replacing our current and much better project management tool due to a consolidation of the tech stack. However, it doesn't appear that any of the teams using the current program intend to use MS Planner due to its poor functionality. We will likely be pivoting to Jira instead. Incentivized Brandon Stokes Global Revenue Enablement Manager Read full review
Return on Investment	Freedcamp has helped us juggle many tasks and complete everything on time. Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Saved over $1000 each year by not having to purchase a third party tool for our content planning Not sure that I can provide a hard number to this, but having the oversight to see when something is coming due and making sure everything gets executed in time Incentivized Christie Carbone Digital Marketing Analyst Read full review
