Eden Workplace vs Microsoft Project

Eden Workplace brings desk booking, room scheduling, visitor management, deliveries, and internal ticketing into one workplace platform. Employees can reserve desks by the hour or day, ahead of time or on the day, through web, Slack, Teams, or the Eden app. Desk occupancy metrics help teams understand space use. Room scheduling includes floor-plan booking, recurring reservations, occupancy analytics, and tablet display panels; teams can require check-in and release rooms after a configured no-show window. Visitor Management Accelerate lists registration, kiosk branding, visitor logs, legal documents, badge printing, touchless sign-in, and Slack and Teams integration. The Deliveries plan supports scanning or manually recording deliveries, matching recipients, notifications, and delivery analytics. Eden lists 40+ integrations, including calendars, access control, directory services, and document storage. It runs on Android, iOS, and web. A 14-day desk-booking trial can be arranged after a brief demo. Eden says it is SOC 2 compliant and encrypts data in transit with TLS 1.2+ and at rest with AES256. Pricing varies by module and plan: Desk Booking Accelerate is $2.25 a month monthly or $3 a month annually, sold in sets of 25 desks.

Microsoft Project is presented through Planner, an online work management experience that combines tasks, to-do lists, plans, and projects. Core views include Grid, Board, Schedule, and Charts; Planner Plan 1 adds Timeline, People, and Goals. That plan also includes premium templates, backlogs and sprints, task dependencies, milestones, and project goals. Planner and Project Plan 3 adds portfolios, baselines, critical path, advanced dependencies, resource requests, and the Project desktop app. Plan 5 adds advanced portfolio management and enterprise resource management and allocation. The included Planner in Microsoft 365 is listed at free and includes basic templates, core views, task management, and Teams integration. Named integrations include Loop, Outlook, Teams, Copilot, and Power Automate. The comparison lists workflow automation, APIs, Microsoft 365 Groups access control, and compliance tools. Time tracking and guest access are listed. A one-month trial requires a credit card and converts to paid service unless canceled.
