    Considered Both Products
    Microsoft
    Chose Microsoft Project
    MS Project is most familiar to our users, so the learning curve is easiest. However, MS Project doesn't allow our teams to collaborate nor does it track actual vs. planned effort (time reporting). Hence it's not the only tool we use. We typically plan with MS Project and use it …

    Microsoft Project has more features than Planview Projectplace but can be a bit difficult to get used to. I find that Projectplace is a balance between Asana and Microsoft Projects in terms of features. Projectplace shines in its ability to handle large projects better han Asana…

    Slack is a wonderful product - I use it daily - but it's better suited for communication between employees in different places. Microsoft Project is a behemoth, the software is has a steep learning curve. Planview Projectplace was easy to jump into, and designed to handle any …

    Chose Planview ProjectPlace
    MS Project is not suitable for non-experts. Project management should, however, be an open activity as much as possible. Collaboration should be at the core. All this is far easier with Projectplace.

    Chose Planview ProjectPlace
    Project place does not replace any of the listed products except for MS Project. We like project place for schedule alignment, easy project switching, and time tracking. The other programs are still used for issue tracking, investigations, documentation, and reporting of …

    Notion is an open book that allows you to create whatever you want... nice but having some bumpers makes creating and implementing a solution a bit easier. ProjectPlace is simple to get started and use. You might miss out on a cool feature or two, but I think the lack of a …

    Both Planview Project Place and Planview PPM Pro have their own strengths. We use both; PPMPro is our portfolio tool, while Project Place is a project delivery application.

    Chose Planview ProjectPlace
    It offers a simpler alternative that's easier to manage by the less tech-savvy people. I also think that Planview Projectplace has managed to keep the product updated compared to other project management tools. Miro is perhaps the one that comes to mind, but while evaluating, …

    Planview Projectplace and these other project management tools stack up in an honestly very similar way, most offer a similar suite of tools and helpful ways to track and plan all your projects and tasks. I think that Planview Projectplace ultimately has most of the great …

    I prefer the way ProjectPlace is layed out and it is way easier to navigate than Clarizen. However, Clarizen does allow you to add fields to a project (i.e. configure it for your use case) while there is very little configurability in Project Place. Additional reporting out …
