What Others Say
Suitable for very basic stuff
OMNI used to provide amazing applications at decent prices. Unfortunately, in spite of their beautiful interfaces their applications for the most part are not as good as the software offered by other companies.
In the case of Project Management software, there are at least a dozen Mac applications. Anyone serious about Project Management should first consider FastTrack Schedule, Merlin 2, iTaskX, etc.
After two years since its official release, OMNI Plan still lacks some basic features for Project Management (i.e., sharing resources across various projects is still not an option).
