AchieveIt vs. Microsoft Project Server

You will be able to do the project management (scheduling, tasks assignment, resources allocation, cost tracking) for all your projects in one place, where the team members can contribute and keep the plans up to date. The web version does the main job right but if you find it more difficult to use you just use the standalone Microsoft Project and upload the changes back to the server.

• Ability to update project plans on the move in any location. Plans can even be updated offline and saved back to the server when the connection is reestablished.

• Being a Microsoft product, it is intuitive to administer and easy to configure to our individual requirements.

• Resource loading and leveling extremely complicated within the tool
• Software makes incorrect assumptions and changes without user knowledge

I have used Basecamp which I recommend for all! This is one of my top tools for not only company projects however for projects, meetings, communication outside of work. We use Basecamp for our membership organization's dental meetings in other states to communicate events, chat with participants, send donation requests and organize events on the platform. There really is no learning curve, it's super user friendly, you don't need any experience prior and it's cost effective.

Incentivized

• Better project management and schedule tracking which in turn improved employee's efficiency.
• Licensing aspect is complex. Issues with onboarding new users to system from licensing perspective.
• Positively, financial review process can be tailor-made which may not require further customization of the tool.
