Here’s why people don’t like Microsoft Project

The software is too inefficient, plus lacks proper resource planning or budgeting. It has no functionality for meetings, no tracking of time/billing, and doesn’t include document management unless you buy Sharepoint, which itself is difficult to administer and is sluggish.
Microsoft Project review on Reddit
The interface is limiting and difficult to understand without putting effort into experimentation. A Project Manager within the Publishing industry with 1-10 employees
Microsoft Project review on Capterra
Microsoft always feels clunky and dated compared to similar software options.
Microsoft Project review on Capterra
It can be a bit complicated for new users. The interface has a lot of features, which can feel overwhelming if you’re not familiar with project management tools.
Microsoft Project review on Capterra
One of the cons is that it is very expensive compared to its competitors. Even the UI is bit complex and handling large projects becomes difficult.
Microsoft Project review on Capterra
A very heavy platform and visually not very appealing.
Microsoft Project review on Capterra
The software is tough to master, with a steep learning curve. There are also restrictions in customising possibilities and integration with other products.
Microsoft Project review on G2
It is a restrictive tool, it can only be used in Windows environments, not compatible with Linux or MAC OS. It can be expensive and the interface is not very friendly when you are using it for the first time. A user within the Retail industry with 10,000+ employees

Summary of connectors and integrations

What is Microsoft Project used for?

Microsoft Project is primarily a project management tool focused on managing one-off projects and Gantt charts. While it’s useful for planning individual projects, it falls short when it comes to managing repeatable processes that are crucial for business operations. Unlike Tallyfy, it doesn’t handle recurring workflows or process automation, making it less suitable for companies looking to scale their operations efficiently.

What exactly is Tallyfy and how does it differ from Microsoft Project?

Tallyfy is a modern workflow management system that focuses on eliminating chaos in your daily operations. Unlike Microsoft Project’s project-centric approach, Tallyfy specializes in tracking and automating repeatable processes. It helps teams save significant time, typically around 2 hours per person per day, by digitizing workflows and enabling smart delegation to both people and AI. The system ensures consistent, high-quality outcomes while making it easy to scale operations without friction.

Why is process management better than project management?

Process management, which Tallyfy specializes in, offers significant advantages over traditional project management tools like Microsoft Project. Processes are repeatable, predictable, and can be automated, while projects are typically one-off events that can’t be easily optimized or scaled. As W. Edwards Deming famously said, “If you can’t describe what you’re doing as a process, you don’t know what you’re doing.” Companies that focus on processes rather than projects can achieve consistent results and continuous improvement.

Does Microsoft Project have country-specific pricing discounts?

Microsoft Project maintains standard pricing globally without consideration for different economic conditions. In contrast, Tallyfy offers thoughtful, permanent discounts of up to 90% based on each country’s GDP per capita. This approach ensures fair pricing worldwide and makes powerful workflow management accessible to businesses regardless of their location.

How does Tallyfy handle process improvement?

Tallyfy excels at continuous process improvement through its elegant feedback system. Users can easily leave comments on any step, which are automatically routed to process owners for review and implementation. This creates a natural cycle of improvement that’s missing in project-focused tools like Microsoft Project. The system makes it simple to track suggestions and implement changes that lead to better processes over time.

How does AI integration differ between Tallyfy and Microsoft Project?

While Microsoft Project offers basic AI features, Tallyfy takes a more practical approach by integrating AI where it matters most. Instead of generic chatbots, Tallyfy uses AI for specific, high-value tasks like automatically migrating existing SOPs and process documents. It’s also ready for computer vision AI that can control your mouse and keyboard, enabling true process automation. This targeted approach delivers more practical benefits than broad, unfocused AI implementations.

What security standards do these tools comply with?

Tallyfy maintains strict compliance with modern security standards including BIMI and HSTS, which Microsoft Project doesn’t fully address. This commitment to security helps protect your sensitive workflow data and ensures safe operations across your organization.

How can I see what customers say about Tallyfy?

You can read authentic customer reviews and success stories at Tallyfy’s customer testimonials page. These reviews highlight real experiences from businesses that have successfully transformed their operations from project-based to process-based management.

Does Tallyfy offer free professional services?

Yes, unlike Microsoft Project, Tallyfy provides free professional services to help you succeed. This includes implementation support, training, and ongoing assistance. To learn more about these services, you can schedule a chat with our team.
