Monday.com and Smartsheet excel at team tasks and collaboration. But at enterprise scale - hundreds of projects across business units - those lightweight tools can’t keep up.
Planisware is the purpose-built enterprise PPM solution that connects strategy, execution, and financial control to drive strategic value.

What You Need to Know:
Make smarter decisions faster. Planisware’s unified platform leverages AI-powered modeling and predictive insights to simulate what-if scenarios, optimize resource allocation, and proactively manage risk - capabilities that Monday.com and Smartsheet do not offer natively.
Instead of fragmented boards and siloed data, Planisware provides native portfolio structures, real-time rollups, and centralized governance models so C-suite and PMO leaders remain in control of investments, resource allocations, and strategic priorities. Monday.com and Smartsheet excel at ad-hoc project collaboration but fall short for organizations needing enterprise-wide visibility and decision support.
Planisware integrates budgeting, forecasting, CapEx/OpEx management, and earned value analysis all in one place, eliminating the need for fragile toolchains or third-party integrations required by alternatives. When regulatory traceability or audit trails matter, Planisware’s compliance and governance features ensure confidence in reporting and data integrity.
With a 98% satisfaction rating from customers worldwide, Planisware is consistently recognized as a leader by industry analysts. This achievement demonstrates that it is the most effective solution for accelerating digital transformation.
