Mosaic review

Mosaic ranks eighth because it is a full-featured planning platform sold as a managed service, which suits larger firms more than small teams. Both the Standard and Enterprise plans include every feature: planning, workload, staffing, budgets, reports, revenue and headcount forecasting, enterprise security and Chello, Mosaic's AI assistant, which answers questions about people, projects and budgets, sends scheduled briefs and can draft a first plan from a proposal. Mosaic maintains a native ERP integration, and the subscription includes onboarding, training and a Customer Success Manager. Enterprise doubles the consultation hours and adds a senior success team and skills library help. The costs are layered: seats billed annually, an annual platform fee, ERP integration and a one-time implementation fee, none of them published. On Standard, SSO and two-factor authentication are an add-on. Firms of 100 people or more that want a guided rollout will get the most from it.
