I have been working with Project Server 2007 for nearly a year now - I do not have experience with other current tools so cannot say if it is better or worse than them. I am happy to provide answers to questions you may have.
As all bugs in MSP 2007 Server have not yet been fixed, I would not recommend it now; if the company wants to leave P3e, it should migrate to MSP 2003, not 2007.
A much better choice would be www.sciforma.com PSnext, that has quite the same features as P5, works on open source app server and database and is really user friendly and good looking.
Furthermore, PSNext is cheaper than MSP 2007.
I will send you a comparison between MSP 2003 and PSNext as soon as I have your email address.
Thanks Alex. I’ve seen a company that because of their persisting problems with P3e networking, try switching to MSP Server 2007. I don’t see this very reasonable that’s why I am looking for a table to compare them. Do you think this is wise?
MSP 2007 Server is a HUGE and difficult update to MSP 2003 Server
Youre right when saying MS is willing to compete with P3e.
What is special to MSP (2003 / 2007) Server is that the project manager / planner still works with MS Project stand-alone app to schedule his projects, when the other users: manpower, dpt mgrs, executives, ... access to the project data thru a specialized interface in IE called Project Web Access; this makes the user first approache less easier than in P3e and other apps where everythning is in the same place.
I have not seen any comparison table between Primavera and MSP 2003 Server; I do have one between MSP and PSNext (www.sciforma.com) which works like PM5.
