This product has so much potential if they could resolve the bugs, interface, and integration with other Microsoft software. It truly could be a one-stop product if they could dial this in.
Pros
This product is incredibly affordable, especially when it comes with the entire Microsoft Suite. It also is familiar when compared to other Microsoft products.
Cons
Unfortunately, this product feels dated and clunky. It's visually not as appealing as other project management software and is the least intuitive in design. This product also is riddled with bugs that prevent tasks/projects from updating or saving properly, which can be devastating to an entire team. Additionally, this product is very clunky when integrating with other products, especially with other Microsoft software, which is genuinely disappointing.

One os the best softwares for project management. one of the most beautiful things about this one is it's capability to integrate with other Microsoft softwares.
Cons
Simple tasks like programing the time frames, number of people in project, etc.., are easy to apploy, but when the need of more hardcore settings arrives only with training and a lot of hours invested in the software we are able to use them.
