Whilst technically it can be used as free, missing dependencies or ability to subset tasks among other features mean that without this it will be a task list at best. > > Great replacement for Smartsheet, manages your team well, and with full integration with Microsoft suite of tools. ----- ### "A solid app that integrates well for my needs" — 4.0/5 > **Troy** | *30 April 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy and simple to use, interface is clean and easily move from one bucket to the next. > > **Cons**: Latest update has removed some useful features such as plan templates and the ability to copy labels onto another plan > > Overall it’s a nice planner tool. I just wish they would allow some template or copy paste features ----- ### "Easy to use planning tool for small business" — 4.0/5 > **Kate** | *2 February 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to set-up and use Integration with other Microsoft products including Microsoft To Do Good range of features > > **Cons**: Doesn't allow setting due dates for subtasks/checklist items I would like the option of having a view where I can see all my tasks from all plans, rather than only being able to view each plan separately > > Overall this is an easy to use project planning tool with good integration with other microsoft products including MS ToDo and email. ----- ### "Planning with Microsoft Planner" — 5.0/5 > **Mai** | *22 March 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a busy event planner, for me the best features are its ability to provide a snapshot of my daily and weekly tasks\! I am constantly working on multiple programs at once, so I live and die by a helpful planner that keeps me on task\! > > **Cons**: It doesn't have a traditional desktop version so I thought that could be problematic. We installed it as an app and it's working just fine\! > > Our entire company is made up of event planners, meeting planners and time management is the most important skill we all need. We truly live and die by our calendars and task management tools, so Microsoft Planner was a natural choice for us\! ----- ### "Fast & efficient Project Tracking made easy\!" — 5.0/5 > **Elizabeth** | *18 September 2025* | Mental Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Microsoft planner is a great project management tool to track projects and tasks in one place. The team collaboration features within this product are amazing\! I can track project progress across all my team members and use certain features to communicate with each other and getting reminders about these things via email notifications from planner. I love the fact that you can enjoy planner basic to get started and get familiar with using the tool. Because there is a learning curve that requires you to use it and practice using it. However, for the more advanced project managers out there, there is planner premium that allows for more robust project, managing tools and offers the assistance of AI With all of the premium license plans. This tool is universal and can be used by anyone who needs to track project progress. > > **Cons**: There is a learning curve with using any software and there are free demos and tutorials on how to use the product. > > My overall experience with Microsoft planner is that I can track all of my projects in one platform and I can set permissions for team members to collaborate with me on plans to track tasks and milestones for these projects. I can even track team outputs from task assignments. It gives me the security. I need to keep my projects private, and on schedule as it does connect with calendar. Overall, it’s a wonderful tool to use for the project manager. That is a more visual leader. ----- Page: 1 / 13\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1010402/microsoft-planner?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/1010402/microsoft-planner) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
