Which one fits your team?
Both are serious planning tools. The right choice depends on where you are today and what you need to plan.
Where OMP is a strong choice

Is Planamind secure enough for an enterprise?
Planamind is ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified and has a SOC 2 Type II report, available under NDA. An independent penetration test in July 2026 found no critical or high-severity issues. It supports single sign-on and EU, US or APAC data residency.
Where is OMP a strong choice?
Large manufacturers, especially in process industries, that need deep supply optimisation and structured S&OP.

Certified ERP connectors, a finite-capacity solver, automatic demand sensing, dedicated launch planning and customer analytics. These are planned, without committed dates.
Planamind ratings reflect capabilities live as of September 2026. Roadmap items are plans, not delivery commitments. For OMP, “Full” marks a core capability described in the vendor's public materials as of September 2026; it is not an assessment of its depth or quality. “N/A” means we have not assessed that capability for OMP; it does not mean the capability is absent.
