Two years ago I wrote some comments about OmniPlan. A quick guesstimate is that they've been mostly fixes, and eventually 1.5 did bring some new features: In two years, OmniPlan has certainly gone through various improvements. I have a lot of respect for AMBERV, and highly recommend reading her comments below. To me they make more sense than comments such as "OmniPlan is the best PM solution for Mac" or "This program is a friggin masterpiece."įortunately for Omni, there are people who will pay $150 for OmniPlan.
#Omniplan 3 review upgrade
I would not be surprised if version 2 comes out in 2009 with a new price and an upgrade fee for current users. I'm pretty sure that version 2 is going to be a huge improvement over version 1, which is the one I'm rating (1.6.1). My overall impressions of OmniPlan have not changed. For simple projects OmniPlan may be more than sufficient. Having said this, I've never chosen OmniPlan for any of my projects. It's evident that Omni's strength resides in superb visual design and ease of use, but for this first version Omni lacked the focus of a true Project Management company. (These are 2 programs that I've used more frequently, but there are at least a dozen other Project Management programs for the Mac.) Merlin 2 and FastTrack Schedule show a different level of maturity in that regard. It's nice to see a pretty interface, but for my needs that's not enough.

Compared to other "Project Management" software I have, I would choose OmniPlan over Jumsoft's Operation, but in 2 years I have not chosen it over Merlin 2 or FastTrack Schedule. These 2 programs are more expensive than OmniPlan, and to me they've been worth it.

Out of these, now I only use OmniGraffle Pro (4) from time to time and have no plans of upgrading their software anymore.
To their credit, Omni has some amazing people offering customer support.

Like AMBERV, "I used to recommend them to everyone.Lately, I never recommend, and I haven't bought a license in years."Īs an integrated scheduler at a major Aerospace program, I found some features lacking in this product. How do you insert columns to see Start and Finish dates? How do you insert customized filters and sorts? How can float analysis be conducted in this tool? Is there a total slack/float column?Īlso, I have to work with my "PC" friends and need something that exports to MS Project in a workable fashion. I was working with a client in Canada and using the beta version. I was working with Concept Pro's Project, but had some problems exporting into MS Project. WHen I exported the file as an MS Project XML file, MS Project could not read the file.
When I exported the file as an MPX file, then all the tasks were not set up as "as early as possible" or "early dates". Thus, changing the lags on the predessessor or successor didn't move the start and finish dates. OmniPlan needs to workout this export function. Also, I work with projects that are 1000s of tasks lines long, the predessessor for a particular task could be several hundered lines above.the OmniPlan program doesn't appear to let you enter in an activity ID or a line number as a predessessor or successor. Without doing a thorough comparison since I don't have the time, I briefly tried this new version and like it better than the beta. Is it the best as stated below? That will depend on your particular needs.Īfter trying to import 2 files I had, Merlin 2 would not import one and OmniPlan would not import the other.
