Alternative to Planisware

Confidence without complexity. Planisware fits process-heavy environments. Keto AI+ is built for change. Faster to deploy, easier to adapt, simpler to run.

Planisware is known for its depth in complex project and resource planning, especially in engineering, pharma, and other structured industries. But that depth often comes with layers: multiple modules, long implementations, and heavy configuration overhead.

Keto AI+ is built for teams who need to move faster. One platform. One data model. No bolt-ons or partner lock-ins. Purpose-built for Strategic Portfolio Management, it brings clarity, adaptability, and speed to organizations navigating change across strategy, finance, and transformation.

Who uses Keto AI+

Strategy & Transformation teams needing real-time alignment
IT and R&D leaders modernizing their operating model
Finance and PMOs seeking cross-portfolio visibility
Enterprises moving from project management to strategic orchestration

Why teams move beyond Planisware

Built for engineering precision

Planisware shines in highly structured, stage-gated environments, especially where strict controls, deep cost modeling, and long project cycles are the norm. It’s ideal for teams optimising project execution down to the activity level.

Today’s needs are portfolio-wide

But many enterprises now need visibility across strategy, finance, and delivery, not just project control. Speed and adaptability matter more than ever. Keto helps leaders see the big picture: what’s moving, what’s stuck, where capacity is overloaded; and make confident decisions about where to invest, pause, or stop.

Different lenses, different outcomes

Planisware helps optimise what’s already approved. Keto helps decide what should be approved in the first place, and keeps portfolios strategically aligned as conditions change.

It’s not about replacing tools. It’s about steering better

Keto often sits above execution tools, guiding priorities, funding decisions, and resource trade-offs. It’s not a replacement for engineering-grade detail. It’s the layer that keeps everything aligned.
