Mission Control

Pros

I love the Gantt chart and the overview tab, in particular. Also, it is the Salesforce platform, which is our one source of truth for the business.

Cons

Some functionality is a little clunky or requires quite a few clicks, so maybe some minor improvements in UI and UX.

Pros

It's easy to use and can provide customer's profile. Its like a one-tool-for-all tool.

Cons

Sometime it lags and we can't provide swift responses to our customers.

Pros

The answer was largely selected with my input. I appreciated [SENSITIVE CONTENT] assistance in helping us understand how Mission Control may help us work more efficiently and connect to Salesforce data.
Ability to manage project deliverables, timeframe and staff allocations. Moreover We also appreciate the ability to set our own budgets as well as the option to sign long-term contracts.

Cons

It took some time to get acclimated to the fact that certain functions may be accessed in multiple locations. Some formulas (particularly those relating to P&L) can be confusing for regular users because of the interconnected nature of the information. However, we didn't come across many restrictions on what you may do (for example, setting a column in the Expenses section to be defaulted checked is not possible).

Pros

Mission control software allows team members to collaborate, share project files and communicate with each other, even if they are located in different geographic locations. This feature ensures that everyone on the team is working towards the same goals. The tool helps teams to work more productively by enhancing collaboration.The software provides a central hub for tracking project progress and identifying any delays or roadblocks. This allows team managers to quickly respond to issues and keep the project moving forward.Mission control software allow teams to create customized workflows, automating repetitive tasks and making it easier to manage complex projects.The tool is a web-based application. It is accessible from anywhere, making it easy for teams to collaborate while working remotely.

Cons

I do not have many dislikes for Mission Control. Here I will mention the only shortcoming I consider for the tool. Mission control can be complex and require extensive training to use effectively. The novice users might find it hard to be familiar with the tool in the beginning. This may be a barrier to adoption for some teams, especially those with limited technical expertise.

Pros

Constantly enhanced, easy to use, support is great

Cons

Some features (like resourcing) are a bit trickier and cumbersome

Pros

Overall as a product i loved how effectively it helps in tracking the process , resource allocation, scheduling etc. It saves time and makes life easy.

Cons

bit of UI which makes to scroll layouts more (especially inner scrollers)

Pros

Mission Control is actively improved and they listen to their customers. I am always impressed by their amazing help support and their willingness to go the extra mile to improve their product and keep us happy. It is an easy to use project management system and I also find their Gantt chart really easy to use and understand and moving the deadlines is super flexible. I am looking forward to their latest release offering which is a retrospective board so we can reflect on our learnings from that project that has just finished.

Cons

I have no complaints, it's a managed package, but we still have the flexibility to add fields. Bug fixing is dealt with straight away.

Pros

Ease of setup being native to the Salesforce platform. Easy to create Projects/Milestones/Actions and allocate required resources. Timesheet is an excellent resource to help with team management. Whiteboard makes project tasks easily manageable. Meeting Manager is great for recurring meetings and agenda management. Program Planner is great for roadmaps. Ability to build some of our own functionality to work with Mission Control.

Cons

An overall project screen which shows all projects with expanding areas for Milestones and Actions for each project for overall project discussions would be great.

Pros

- Built on Salesforce
- Quick to deploy and adopt
- Access to Support is great
- Regular improvements

Cons

- Management of overdue tasks allocated to people could be improved.
