A smart solution for businesses both large and small, Microsoft Project makes planning and implementing projects very easy. Complex projects can be managed using a variety of tools to meet each user’s needs. For instance, we found project scheduling tools, with dynamic features for assigning tasks and tracking project duration. We also found the interactive dashboards to be an excellent feature for managers looking to view overall status and figure out issues using Power BI visualization.
Microsoft Project’s pricing starts at $10/month, but businesses can opt for a private plan as well. Built on Azure, businesses and freelancers can create automated workflows with flexible platforms. All of this is very secure and allows for improved collaboration across teams. With file sharing, chat, and meeting capabilities, Microsoft Project has proven itself adept at streamlining businesses, particularly those where teams are spread around the globe and not always in the same time zone.

User Friendly | Very limited free plan |
Customizable | Set up time |
Lots of integrations | Slow at times |
For companies and businesses at the smaller end of the scale looking for a cloud-based project management solution, we think Airtable is a great option. It’s mostly geared toward data organization and some collaborative tools. To do this, it uses a recognizable spreadsheet format where data can be linked together, for instance inventory items to vendors.
Depending on the plan, there are different prices for Airtable. However, it’s free for 1000 records/base or starts at $20/user/month for 50,000 records/base. For access across multiple devices and operating systems, Airtable is a great solution as we found it’s fully compatible. We liked that the mobile interface simply scales the spreadsheets down to tappable cards for easy access and reading. A key benefit for us in Airtable is the way it can be integrated with other services. Additionally, all tables are sharable, allowing users to track who and what changes have been made. A unique chat tool within documents allows for increased collaboration for efficient task completion rates.
Pros | Cons |
Perfect for online meetings | Difficult third-party implementation |
Microsoft integrations | Performance issues |
Easy to use | Limited channels |
A cloud-based group chat solution, we’ve found Microsoft Teams enables greater team collaboration across a range of documents. It has several key features that really appeal to us, especially messaging and conferencing. These communication tools include online meetings, web conferences, calling, and more. It can also work well in collaboration with Microsoft 365 apps.
Microsoft Teams comes with Microsoft Office 365 subscriptions, though premium plans start at $4/user/month. Our experience with Microsoft Teams demonstrates its efficacy when it comes to maintaining positive and instant communication across all team members. With additional features such as assistant bots, conversation search, and the ability to integrate with a wealth of third-party apps like Trello, GitHub, and Delve, Microsoft Teams proves itself a strong communication platform for businesses of any size.
