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

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.

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.

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

If you need to work with Microsoft Project on a mac then this is for you

Comments: When working on macs this is one of the best project management applications and makes collaboration easy with the variety of exports available from the application including web share.

Pros: Omniplan has the same interface as other Omni products so made use easier if you know any of their other pieces of software. Sharing is super easy as you have a variety of ways of exporting the plans to share with anyone not having omniplan. The import is great also as you can take from a variety of other programs and import the data into something usable by omniplan. The gantt function is great and really helps visually plan a project.

Cons: Not too many, one of them would be when working on a larger project the app can sometimes crash do to memory constraints it seems so good idea to save often.
