I bought it to get free from MS Project and to have something reliable on OSX without being forced to use Parallels Desktop or so. The software is great, does everything a cheduing software needs to have. You need to go once through the tutorial because some things are different than I was used to have it in MS Project. And boy, the print outs are exactly what you see at the screen, you don’t have this on-going pain of multiple printouts with MS-Project. The German translation needs partially improvement. I reported 2 (very minor) bugs and got reply the next day. One was export to MS Project where you had to switch views once to appear all tasks. I hope they make enough revenue so they can keep this business going. All the best, guys!

So buggy and so slow!!!

I was trying to do a very simple thing. I had to create a project in the past and had to create some tasks. I was not able to set the project start AND end date. Also when i entered date 03-10-16 the task is shown ending on 04-10-16. When i tried to change the date many times i got an animation in the date field and the dates were randomly changing where omniplan just hang... Overall the performance is too low. And these are even the BASIC FUNCTIONS only. Very bad overall impression for such a high price...

Buono ma...

A mio avviso per un costo di 150€ dovrebbe garantire la compatibilità con Microsoft Project. Non mi sembra giusto per questo dover pagare 300€, e tale compatibilità non mi sembra da “pro”.

Love the look and Feel of Omniplan! Love the fact that they added Earned Value into the product and also network Diagrams (2 significant features for good PMs). LOVE the fact that I can do a PERT based estimation of a task (best, normal, worst) for each line! Like the monte carlo simulations (great work on this by the way!) Some things I would like to see: More pictures for the reporting (the reporting is good, but give me some line graphs for the Earned Value tracking) Risk Tracking - Please add the ability to create a risk against a task with the standard, likelyhood, impact, mitigation plan, etc. Even if you just give me a tab and some basics, would like to keep risk tracking in a single tool instead of creating another spreadsheet for that. Rating a solid 4 stars. Good product, but with just a bit more polish and a few more features it would knock MS Project off the radar.
