Email (1) and Excel(3) are in the top 5 tools managers use to track projects. Microsoft's project manager didn't even make the top 5!

Similar to Sharepoint,

• Project Server (requires a mature project management process in institution)
• Clarity
• Primavera
• Google Team Site
• Basecamp
• Zoho

These are all separate silos though, SharePoint works completely with MS Office and Outlook. 

SharePoint owners can update their own content, control their own security to their site (account privileges) and maintain their own document repositories and lists.

Only 3rd party add-ons can combine multiple individual calendars into one master calendar.   Many make one master and then push out only pieces to somewhere.
