It is a practical tool for teams that base their work on Microsoft tools. It is an easy-to-use tool and practical. Without wasting time, a team member can start using it.
This tool helps you breakdown the tasks easily and organize them in a practical way. Additionally, team members can comment and interact within each tasks. This way all the necessery information for one task is kept organized in one place.
The tasks can not be automatically re-arranged according to the labels. Additionally, It is not friendly to the integration of different programs and tools apart from the products of Microsoft.

I have really enjoyed using Planner for what it is - basic project and task management. Within the context of a team it ex excellent for Agile project management. Outside of this context and when more robust project management is required Planner is often too limited and leads us to look for more able tools.
Super simple to use and with a good range of functionality, Planner is a light project management tool that is an important part of the Office 365 suite. Tasks for part of the task engine within Office 365 through Microsoft To Do. Information and categorisation that can be recorded on a task is versatile and, when coupled with search and filters, makes keeping track of tasks easy.
The most frustrating aspect of Planner is the lack of a public view of the board and tasks. Only members of the team can follow progress. Planner is so closely coupled into the team membership of Office 365 that it limits its uses. Also, the lack of gantt chart functionality weakens the ability of Planner to be considered a serious project management tool.

We've started using it because it's part of our company Microsoft Suite.Due to its limits, we've switched then to more advanced collaboration tools.
One good feature, if you use Microsoft Outlook, is the fact that it's integrated with Microsoft Outlook and therefore is allows you to synchronize the tasks and the different action points.
It's quite limited in terms of features and functionalities.It's good enough, as collaboration tool to be used to assign different tasks to the team members.

we have project planning in it, in the future they should even connect with other projects
very clear, showing what has already been done, who is working on which task and how it is related to each other
only limited number of timelines for the total display

The reliability of Microsoft Planner is exceptional
Microsoft Planner helps with consolidating necessary functions and tasks when it comes project management and development. Collaborating is more effective through Microsoft Planner.
There is nothing negative to say from my experience using Microsoft Planner but there are more cost-effective alternatives
