Planisware: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Planisware is a French software company offering a platform for portfolio and project management (PPM). Organisations use it to prioritise and steer project portfolios, execute projects and track progress. The platform is delivered as SaaS on what the vendor describes as a fully owned, single-tenant cloud infrastructure, with AI assistants for analysis and planning. The software is proprietary and not open source.

Planisware was founded in 1996 in France and has its address in Châtillon, near Paris. Its shares have been listed on Euronext Paris since April 2024. According to Wikipedia, the founders hold a majority stake, so no foreign parent company applies. Its privacy policy states that customer personal data is processed in France, Germany and Italy, and also in Canada and the United States. For a European organisation this means processing in the EU with some processing outside it, which the contract and transfer terms should cover.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Planisware

Planisware is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Planisware hosts data in EU, US, OTHER. Exactly what stays within the EU — and what does not — is defined by the vendor's data processing agreement and sub-processor list, not by a setting you control yourself; check those documents for the precise scope, including backups, logs and support access.

Planisware is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Planisware together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
