I compared both programs, and a handful of others, prior to purchasing OP. I don’t know how it compares with iTaskX, since my demo expired a while ago. I do hope to see it mature and become a great program, and hopefully before there’s a paid upgrade :D I could write a couple of paragraphs for each highlight, but people tend to prefer summaries, and I’m tired :)
Again, I love OMNI and their programs, but this one is often not intuitive and can actually be frustrating. Perhaps I haven’t found the great features in OP. I love the integration with NovaMind for example. For example, I can view Quarters and Months and Weeks at the same time. While FTS interface is not that modern looking, it allows me to view more than one time-scale at a time. It also shows some errors and changes settings such as start ASAP. OP sometimes does not import the hierarchy of certain tasks.
Merlin project management vs omniplan how to#
In OP the screenshots have no reference number, and sometimes no explanation as to how to achieve them.ĭisclaimer: I have not read 100% of the manuals, but I guess I’ve read at least 50% of each one. Some language errors but it is fun and easy to understand for the most part.įTS: Great. For example, ‘Connect Tasks with Dependency Lines.’ Eleven tutorials and practice files, plus tutorial pdf.Įven with OP’s simple example, as a new user it was time consuming figuring out what had to be done in order for the tutorial file to look like the screenshots. Hopefully we’ll see improvements and more features.įTS9: Great. I love the OMNI group and their apps, and I did purchase OMNIPlan. I’m fairly new to both programs, and so far I have to say that Merlin 2 seems to be a more mature, more comprehensive application.
