Comparing Microsoft Project to Web Based Project Management Tools

Any project manager will tell you that out of the box, Microsoft Project lacks any kind of web-based functionality or team collaboration. It's installed on each individual computer and has a fairly steep learning curve, limiting the number of people that can use it effectively.

One of the biggest issues with Microsoft Project is its lack of team collaboration. You can't post messages to the projects or upload files. This means that your team has to resort to the old fashioned way of collaborating through emails, word documents and meetings. So what is the solution? Many projects managers don't want to abandon their MS Project workflow, and no other application can fully replace it. The solution is to use both: Microsoft Project and a web based project tool alongside.

You can learn more about the benefits of using web based project management tools together with Microsoft Project, and steps on how to pick out the right solution in our whitepaper, and try Easy Projects .NET free for 15 days to see how it will compliment you.

Web Based Project Management

You can easily export data straight out of Microsoft Project into the web based project management tool such as Easy Projects .NET. That means you can still use MS Project to plan and manage your activities, then share them with the rest of your team in a matter of minutes, saving you time keeping everyone up to date.

Improve Team Collaboration

Now that your project activities are part of a web based system, your team can post and reply to messages on the project message boards and collaborate with each other in other ways including uploading and sharing of files, and hosting real-time online meetings with up to 15 participants.

Track and Log Time

Team members can track and log their time online using built-in web-timers which will automatically update time logs for the respective activities. You can then import this data back into Microsoft Project to be used for scheduling project activities and managing your project resources and their workloads.

Custom Report Manager

Web based tools such as Easy Projects .NET come with a variety of online reports for you to create on the fly using the most up-to-date data within the system. There is also a Custom Report Generator which allows you to create reports that perhaps might not be readily available in Microsoft Project.
