OmniPlan

Best Alternative to MPP for a Mac

Comments: I have been able to track mulitple team members working on multiple projects in Omniplan with ease

Pros:

These are my favourite features Automatic Leveling Critical Path Gantt Timelines / Charts Auto-Effort Estimation

Cons:

Import / Export feature can be a little better. MPP like / Tabular interface for Data Entry the first time would be an easier / quicker way to create new projects. Locking Timelines is not very obvious.

Manage your tasks and maintain the ability to organize your projects

Comments: I like the idea of working with Gantt diagram, it is much more understandable to see everything generalized in this type of digram, for my team and for me personally it has been pleasant and very easy to take our projects to the level of communication and collaboration

Pros:

The interface is sophisticated, created, to be used intelligently by users, allows to manage economic, human and material resources, projecting everything in a timeline diagrammed in Gantt, from the basics to the most complex, managing to follow up on everything important, even the faults

Cons:

The price to pay per user may be excessive for some people and companies

The quality of UI and UX would be acceptable for open source project but not for the price they ask

Comments: The worst experience with paid software in my life. UI and UX are not what you expect in 2022 and for 200 dollars a year. There's no pre-defined easy sharing between the team, work with UI is really painful and unobvious not only for me but for the whole team

Pros:

nothing, really nothing. A lot not obvious moments, I'm scared with every action as it already broke my progress in planning several times

Cons:

UI and UX. when you drag tasks, trying to change them, etc. And there's also no way to have text near tasks with tasks titles. Overall it looks overload in functionality and in the same time it doesn't allow you to make it handy and beautiful

Indispensable project-planning software

Pros:

Most people know about *task*-management software (OmniFocus is a great one) that help you prioritize and track your to-do items. In contrast, few people know about *project*-management software. If you have to manage a project with lots of moving parts, delegate tasks to several people, and develop contingency plans for when some components of a project are delayed, then OmniPlan is for you. It is, hands-down, the best project-management software on macOS. You can develop your project plan in nested outline format, and a Gantt chart is created easily. Assign tasks to others. Add estimated time requirements, milestones, and due dates. And for really complicated projects, Monte Carlo simulation can help you get a sense for a realistic completion date. It's great!

Cons:

There's more of a learning curve for project management than there is for task management. But the videos on the OmniGroup's web site help a lot.

Obtain effectiveness in project management

Comments: In the meetings we managed to have a general vision of the progress of four projects that we had in execution with offices located in three different cities, even though we did not have enough apple equipment for all, it was very helpful to use this platform and its advanced methodology to achieve finalize the projects on the proposed dates

Pros:

It allows you to create and plan your projects as a great workflow, you can visualize in a gantt diagram the progress of the tasks from beginning to end, it is a sophisticated tool with advanced functions that helps you to achieve your goals and those of your work team

Cons:

It is available only for apple devices, which makes it very difficult to use, a window version would be ideal. We only managed to use it from a MAC and three iPads available for some members of the work team
