Top Rated Tom's Planner Alternatives
The simplicity. I could pick up and use straight away without thinking about it and anything that I wasn't sure about I managed to work out pretty quickly. It was just such and under complicated way of tracking projects compared to other tools I had used in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To be fair I can't remember disliking anything when using it. There wasn't anything I needed to do that it wouldn't let me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it when it comes to planning and visual presentation of chart according to plan is amazing more comprehensive and with ease of use. The features are amazing.verY collaborative and customizable design and feature. Great1 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Little about setting an effective dashboard is need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simplicity in usage - no complicated connections, you can do anything you want just clicking on what you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
No synchronizations with third parties - I can't sync with Jira, for instance, or can't set up a notification, or a connection to Google sheet. I can do that once by migrating, by this won't work if I need it to work all the time. But I guess that's my problem - not Tom's, cause this maybe just not the tool that was supposed to be very integrated and auto-updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is a light and fast software with features of project templates that help me make the work easier. Tom Planner allows me to access from my table or mobile without complications also has an interface with unique design, I like it because when I'm not in my office I just have to take the Tablet and be aware of the tasks that I have pending easily and fun . Now I am able to control more work in less time and more organized Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would like the interface to be able to choose different topics such as light, dark or even colors, since I like to have a view with a dark background and clear letters allowing me to observe and highlight the work spaces Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That they don't overcomplicate the process. I have used things like Project and it is way too detailed for the vast majority of projects/things that most people need to manage. Also nice that it's free up to a certain level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Wouldn't say 'dislike' anything but would be nice for a few more features to make things a touch more manageable such as easy way to move/change dependencies etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tom's Planner can represent a Gannt chart well, with periods of time and dependencies, with customization options like colors and icons. It also has different views based on lengths of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Tom's Planner is completely outclassed by other more full-featured tools like Smartsheet in that it doesn't have resources, more simplified or more complex views. The process of spinning up an initial chart is time-consuming, and the only way to do that quickly is to copy another project or make your own "template" of frequently-used project types. Budgeting and risk assessment are also noticeably missing from the feature set.
Tom's Planner's user experience and user interface are also awkward. The tool feels like it was developed a decade ago, perhaps as standalone software that was reformatted to live within a web browser. In the four years that we've used the tool, there has been no improvement on the user interface at all. Dependencies were just added a couple of years ago, so it worries me that the tool is just not being kept up as much as it probably should. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This is a great tool for PMs and anyone else who needs a user-friendly way to visualize a complex (or not complex) project plan Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface is a bit dated and some of the controls are clunky, particularly in the areas of printing. I also did not enjoy that only one user could be editing a document at any time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
