Why Choose Instagantt Over Microsoft Project?
Nowadays, project management centers on one thing: collaboration. Without it, teams can find it difficult to communicate the aspects of their work and to share the latest advances on their projects. But in order to collaborate efficiently, teams should navigate a friendly and intuitive platform and even the most loyal Microsoft Project users can agree with the following affirmation: MS Project is not the easiest nor friendlier software ever to be built. Some might even find it hefty, complicated and cumbersome.

Instagantt Makes it Really Easy to Share
Sure, Microsoft Project is a solid option. But, what happens when you need to share your information? Not everyone has access to MS Project, and even if they did, not everyone would have the latest version of the program, consequently, sharing your project’s progress can quickly become a nightmare. Moreover, when using MS Project, you need to be concerned with always sending the latest file which contains the latest, updated version of your project. And this can rapidly get confusing and out of hand when multiple people are involved in one project, including shareholders and clients.
