Pros & Cons
OnePlan
Pros
- The integration catalog lists more than 40 connectors, covering Microsoft Project, Planner, Azure DevOps, Jira, Smartsheet, Workday, and SAP.
- Reviewers praise how configurable the workflows and templates are, which suits PMOs whose processes keep changing.
- Capacity and resource planning with utilization views is a widely cited strength.
- Viewing OnePlan OData in Power BI does not require a OnePlan license, which lowers the cost of sharing reports.
- The Basic entry price of 10 dollars per user per month is low for portfolio software.
Cons
- Roadmaps, resource and financial planning, scenarios, automation, and audit logs are Enterprise-only, and Enterprise has no public price.
- Reviewers report final quotes well above what they first expected.
- Setup and configuration have a learning curve, and onboarding can be slow.
- Advanced report layouts often need extra Power BI work.
- Basic is billed annually only and requires at least five users.
ONES
Pros
- The free plan covers up to 30 seats and already includes sprint, test, and release management.
- Issue tracking, test cases, and the wiki live in one product, so teams do not have to link Jira, a test tool, and Confluence.
- It can be deployed as SaaS, on-premises, in a private cloud, or air-gapped, which suits regulated industries.
- The vendor reports SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 27018, and GDPR compliance.
- Business and Enterprise plans include tooling to migrate from Jira and Confluence.
Cons
- There are very few independent reviews: about 13 on G2 and 9 on Capterra.
- G2 reviewers mention a learning curve for new users.
- Its third-party integration catalogue looks small next to Jira's or monday.com's.
- Gantt charts and automation need a paid plan, and resource scheduling needs Business.
- Most of the comparison content available online is published by ONES itself.
