Most Helpful Favorable Review
Verified User in Public Relations and Communications
It’s easy to use, user friendly and efficient
Most Helpful Critical Review
Verified User in Medical Devices
Lack of easily customizable tools, not able to implement them personally, or at least it is very difficult to do so
Microsoft Planner
Most Helpful Favorable Review
Verified User in Accounting
I think it's a very intuitive tool. You can use it for a variety of purposes like organizing events, planning, and mapping our journeys
Most Helpful Critical Review
Verified User in Medical Devices
There are so many basic functions that are missing for effective project management software. For example, in multi-step tasks, you cannot assign interim deadlines. It would also be nice to have tags and more options to attach documents or rich text.
