Pros

“What I like most about Microsoft Planner is that it gives me a simple way to keep projects organized across multiple teams without making it too complicated for everyone else.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Daniel R.

COO

“Free version has enough task views options for you to keep a track of your tasks timeline (grid, board, calendar and charts), as well as filters.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Marko K.

Project and IT Manager

“This ultimately leaves me constantly searching for buttons and settings that are dancing around a forever changing interface; what might look like progress on paper often leaves me feeling like I'm required to relearn the platform time and time again, usually becoming more confident and familiar just as a new release changes everything again.”

Connor Q.

IT Team Lead

Pros

“It helps us track time spent across projects, forecast future fees and workloads, and monitor productivity to make sure everything is on track.”
ED

Elise D.

Owner

“Its user-friendly interface, customizable features, collaboration capabilities, and accessibility have revolutionized the way I manage my tasks and time.”
SW

Sarah W.

Marketing Director

“This is an essential piece that is missing in many other products. Since Architecture is a service-based industry, we also love that Monograph has specific pay rates for different employees and projects.”

Xiao L.

Founder

Cons

“The only downside to Planner is that the completed tasks stay recorded in the completed dropdown, so with heavy use over some time, it can get clogged up and stop accepting new input.”
BW

Bevan W.

Sales and Accounts

There is not an easy “upgrade this plan” path, so it feels like you have to rebuild too much.

Cons

“We cannot prepare invoices and we are a small firm that does not have the reserves to wait until they get around to fixing this basic function.”
AM

Ari M.

Design Director

“They need to pull this software from sale until it functions.”
AM

Ari M.

Design Director

“Rapid updates to the software make it hard to keep projects tidy, as protocols for invoices can change mid-project.”
