What is Org mode?
Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system.
Org is implemented on top of Outline mode, which makes it possible to keep the content of large files well structured. Visibility cycling and structure editing help to work with the tree. Tables are easily created with a built-in table editor. Org supports TODO items, deadlines, timestamps, and scheduling. It dynamically compiles entries into an agenda that utilizes and smoothly integrates much of the Emacs calendar and diary. Plain text URL-like links connect to websites, emails, Usenet messages, BBDB entries, and any files related to the projects. For printing and sharing notes, an Org file can be exported as a structured ASCII file, as HTML, or (TODO and agenda items only) as an iCalendar file. It can also serve as a publishing tool for a set of linked web pages.

there's no comparison: org-mode is the best for note-taking, personal task management, literate programming, etc. there's a lot of Emacs packages for adding functionality to org-mode, like creating blogs with hugo/ox-hugo, doing your math and previewing it with latex integration, researching with org-roam, and the list goes on.
edit: currently the most problematic thing with org-mode is mobile support. On Android there's orgzly, but it's essentially only useful for task management. Now there's organice, which is a web app that's trying to solve this so you can edit org-mode files through your web browser either mobile or desktop.
Very customizable, wholly private with no web dependency.
Org mode does not work on Android. Therefore, it is NOT an alternative to EssentialPIM.
