Sourcegraph VS Onplana

Sourcegraph's answer

Quinn Slack and Beyang Liu founded Sourcegraph in 2013. They met at Stanford and later worked together at Palantir, where they saw how hard it was for developers to understand large enterprise codebases. Engineers at Google had strong internal code search, and almost nobody else did. Sourcegraph set out to give every company that ability. It started as universal code search, grew into code intelligence and large-scale automated changes, and now provides the context layer for AI agents. The pitch has stayed the same throughout: AI makes it faster to write code, which makes knowing what’s in your codebase more important, and Sourcegraph is the source of truth for that code.

Onplana's answer:

Onplana is built by Devsoft Solutions, a software company focused on enterprise productivity tools.

The story starts with Microsoft's announcement that Project Online — the project management platform millions of teams have built their careers on — will retire on September 30, 2026. Microsoft's recommended replacement (the new Planner) doesn't support critical path analysis, baselines, resource management, or governance workflows. Devsoft saw a gap: millions of project managers were about to lose their tool, and nobody was building a real replacement.

Development started in 2024, with the core platform (Gantt, dependencies, resource management, AI assistant, governance) shipping in 2025. In 2026, enterprise features went live: SSO/SCIM, whiteboards, wikis, scenario planning, custom dashboards, and the .mpp migration wizard.

The guiding principle: when Project Online shuts down, every team that relied on it should have a better home waiting — with AI capabilities that Microsoft Project never had.

Onplana's answer:

Onplana is a newer platform (launched 2025–2026) and does not publicly list named enterprise customers at this time. The primary customer segments served are:

• Enterprise PMOs migrating off Microsoft Project Online before its September 2026 retirement
• IT and operations teams in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, government) requiring self-hosted or cloud-agnostic deployment
• Growing project management teams of 10–500 members needing modern collaboration and AI-assisted planning

Sourcegraph's answer

Most alternatives are tied to one code host or are coding assistants that only see the repo in front of them. Sourcegraph sits beneath those tools rather than replacing them. It makes Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, and Codex more accurate by giving them context from the whole codebase.

Onplana's answer:

Choose Onplana over competitors like monday.com, Asana, ClickUp, or Jira when you need:

• Microsoft Project Online migration: Onplana is the only modern platform with a built-in .mpp / Project XML / OData migration wizard. Most migrations complete in under a day.
• Real enterprise PM features: Gantt with critical path, full Scrum, 12-stage governance pipeline, portfolios, resource capacity planning, and Change Control Board — not available in general-purpose task tools.
• AI that understands your schedule: Risk detection, plan generation, and NL task parsing powered by Claude (Anthropic) and Azure OpenAI, with the option to use your own Azure credits.
• Flexible deployment: Unlike monday.com or Asana (cloud-only), Onplana runs on AWS, Azure, GCP, or self-hosted — critical for regulated industries and enterprise IT.
• Transparent pricing: Plans from $0, no forced seat minimums, no surprise bills. PRO starts at $12/seat/month.

Sourcegraph's answer

Large engineering organizations with big, sprawling codebases spread across many repos and code hosts, often in regulated industries like financial services. The buyers are the VP of Engineering (productivity and AI ROI), the Head of Platform/DevEx (developer tooling, migrations, agent infrastructure), and the CISO (finding vulnerabilities and fixing them across the codebase). Day-to-day users are developers, platform teams, and increasingly AI agents.

Onplana's answer:

Onplana is built for three primary segments:

• Enterprise PMOs: Teams managing 50+ active projects with formal governance, resource planning, and portfolio tracking — especially those migrating off Microsoft Project Online before its September 2026 retirement.
• Growing PM teams (10–50 PMs): Project managers who need modern collaboration, AI-assisted planning, Gantt charts, and real-time visibility without the complexity of legacy enterprise PPM tools.
• IT operations & regulated industries: Organizations that need cloud-agnostic or self-hosted deployment, SSO/SCIM, audit logs, IP allowlisting, and customer-managed encryption keys for compliance (GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, FINRA).

Sourcegraph's answer

• Coverage: it searches across all code hosts at once, including sub-branches, which GitHub’s native search can’t do.
• Permissions: it syncs access rules from each code host, so people and AI agents only see code they’re allowed to see.
• Two kinds of results: Code Search gives exact, repeatable matches, and Deep Search adds agentic investigation with cited sources.

The MCP Server gives the same context to whatever AI agents a team already uses, and Agentic Batch Changes turns a plain-language request into pull requests across hundreds of repos.

Onplana's answer:

Onplana is the only AI-native project management platform purpose-built as a Microsoft Project Online replacement. Three things set it apart:

1. AI built into every workflow — not bolted on. Risk detection, plan generation, natural language task parsing, and a streaming chat panel powered by Claude (Anthropic) and Azure OpenAI. Admins can switch providers or point Onplana at their own Azure deployment.

2. True enterprise-grade PM in a modern SPA. Gantt with critical path, full Scrum, 12-stage governance pipeline, portfolios, resource management, and 31+ plan-gated features — without the desktop-era UX of Microsoft Project.

3. Cloud-agnostic deployment. Run on AWS, Azure, GCP, or self-hosted with Docker. Enterprise+ supports customer-managed encryption keys, so your data never leaves your infrastructure.

Onplana's answer:

Onplana is built with a modern, cloud-agnostic stack:

• AI: Claude by Anthropic (default) and Azure OpenAI — dual-provider engine switchable per org from the admin panel
• Deployment: Docker Compose — runs on AWS, Azure, GCP, or self-hosted on-premises
• Frontend: Real-time Single Page Application (SPA), keyboard-first, dark mode, mobile-friendly
• Collaboration: Excalidraw (whiteboards), BlockNote (real-time wikis)
• Authentication: JWT with token versioning, TOTP 2FA, SAML 2.0 / OIDC SSO, SCIM 2.0 provisioning
• Security: bcrypt password hashing, HMAC-SHA256 webhooks, customer-managed encryption keys (Enterprise+)
• Integrations: Microsoft Project .mpp binary parser, Project XML (MSPDI), OData API connector, webhooks, REST API with 40+ endpoints
