AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- Users report that Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management excels in task management features, particularly in "Task Prioritization" and "Dependencies," with scores of 9.1, indicating a robust capability to manage complex project tasks effectively. In contrast, EPM Live's scores in these areas are lower, suggesting it may not handle intricate task dependencies as efficiently.
- Reviewers mention that Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management offers superior "Portfolio Management" capabilities, particularly in "Planning" (9.2) and "Alignment" (8.8), which are crucial for organizations looking to align projects with strategic goals. EPM Live, while functional, does not match this level of performance, with lower scores in similar categories.
- G2 users highlight the ease of use of Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management, with an "Ease of Use" score of 7.3, which is slightly lower than EPM Live's 7.6. However, users note that the learning curve for Microsoft Project can be steep due to its extensive features, while EPM Live is perceived as more user-friendly for beginners.
- Users on G2 report that Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management shines in "Data Import" (8.7) and "Visualizations" (9.0), making it easier to consolidate and analyze project data. EPM Live, while offering data management features, does not provide the same level of visualization capabilities, which can hinder data-driven decision-making.
- Reviewers mention that Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management's "Quality of Support" score of 7.6 is higher than EPM Live's 6.7, indicating that users may find more reliable assistance and resources when issues arise, which is critical for maintaining project momentum.
- Users report that EPM Live's "Customization" features are a strong point, allowing for tailored workflows and project management processes, which some users find lacking in Microsoft Project & Portfolio Management. This flexibility can be a deciding factor for teams needing specific configurations to meet their unique project requirements.

It is buggy and difficult to use at times. It does not lend its self to ease of use.
