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\! ----- ### "Great tool for task management if you are using other MS apps" — 5.0/5 > **Marko** | *29 December 2025* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: MS Planner is a great task and planning tool, so you can keep track of your work. It's well integrated with other M365 apps. I like the special plans for team collaboration feature, where it creates a closed space for collaborating only with invited colleagues. 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. It's well integrated with power automate, allowing you to create automations. It's very easy to figure out how it works. > > **Cons**: If you want to have some advanced planning tools, like having a Gantt chart for your tasks, you need to have the paid version. > > If you're using Microsoft software for your work, it's a no-brainer to use Planner instead of other similar tools ----- 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
