It has been updated occasionally, but it is still an old-style project management tool. Lots of people who used Microsoft projects are looking for Microsoft project alternatives.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">To say the market for project management software is crowded in 2020 is the understatement of the<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0century.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">By the last count, there are around 120 vendors who sell some type of project management software.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">That is a huge number! How a potential customer can evaluate so many applications in a timely fashion?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The truth is that most people can&#8217;t evaluate so many applications, so they rely on vendors&#8217; marketing schemes delivered by Google ads, review sites that compare biz app for a fee, or recommendations from colleagues and friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">So how do you find the best Microsoft project alternatives which fit your team&#8217;s workflow and requirements<\/span><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">To start with you need to choose a SaaS application that enables true collaboration. Lack of collaboration features was the biggest drawback of the Microsoft project.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Desktop apps like the Microsoft project don&#8217;t cut it anymore!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">The second requirement for good Microsoft project alternatives is integration with other apps like Google Drive, Google Calendar, Dropbox, Gmail, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Integration with other apps extends the feasibility and usefulness of any business application including project management apps.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Another must-have requirement is reasonable pricing. One of the biggest pain points about the Microsoft project was the exuberant pricing Microsoft charged for its project management software.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Best Microsoft project alternatives<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">We have evaluated the top project management apps in the market today.
