Full Monte alternative
When Full Monte is the right choice
Full Monte is the right choice when your team lives inside Microsoft Project and never leaves it, and when your network leans on SS/FF/SF relationship types that need to be simulated natively today — Barbecana's tool handles those now and we don't yet. It is mature, well-regarded, and fairly priced for what it is.
Epoch SRA is a Full Monte alternative that runs in Excel: MS Project XML imports with a report naming everything it could not translate, priors are field-calibrated against historical program actuals, and pricing is published — €119/month, €990/year, or €1,300 perpetual + €350/year maintenance.
