  • Thanks for the useful list of tools and descriptions.

    For those of you interested in similar lists of online (or desktop) project management software, I’ve compiled lists and reviews at the Task and Project Management Software List.

    Note: also includes to-do list and GTD software.
  • Roger Hargreaves
    An excellent new task manager / project management type tool is dooster.net I have tried several of the apps you mentioned but none of them really did it for me. I trued out dooster a few weeks back and am absolutely blown away
  • Thanks for the info and list. In an era of corporate downsizing, I anticipate a growing number of young people will attempt the entrepreneurship route. While history indicates that most will fail, the social web is giving a new generation of CEOs a fighting chance to succeed
  • I cant believe you covered every solution under the sun, and missed the HyperOffice collaboration software. They've been around since 1998, one of the first SaaS solutions, and have won numerous awards.
  • Nice list !!
    What i have seen when doing projects is the use of a project management system. This really helps to get more opportunities of getting new projects as the client gets a better impression of professionalism. Like in our company we used basecamp (www.basecamphq.com) for project management purposes and it changed the email email games we used to play. After Basecamp we have tried so many of the alternatives available today but everything seemed to be either complex with all those functionalies which were not even useful rather made the management process even more difficult. It then came to mind that Basecamp was actually better till the time we found a new product called Proofhub. Though now we use Proofhub Proofhub as our project management system you can use some but this 1 is the best from all that we have used and at a good price.
    Thanx for the post
  • John
    I recently sign-up to use ProjectMgr.net (the free version) and it seems to have all the features you list and the application was user friendly to use. If you want ot check it out: http://www.projectmgr.net
  • I'd like to add Programme Office Toolkit (POT) to the list. It's been quietly managing some of the largest transformation projects with 1000's of team members for the last 16 years. It was originally conceived to assist dedicated PMOs (both in-house and external) to apply the necessary project controls and data collection to both drive the project and report on it. It has become the online PM software of choice for many PM professionals as they move from project to project, with a tried and trusted framework and a powerful and versatile application. Certainly worth a look if you're in the market for a high end, enterprise PM solution. http://www.progmanager.com
  • Alex
    I've been using <a href="http://www.aceproject.com" AceProject for 2 years. I've been satisfied with their email notification and time tracking features.
  • Michael
    One of my associates recommended Goalkeeper and I'm pretty happy. We have switched from bc and moved all our projects there. It's very usable and different approach from all those clones. You should try it if you're looking for a good one. There's free plan, but other advanced plans are very affordable too.
  • I use PayMyRent.net - They are a full service rental managment solution. I can accept rent from credit cards, manage tenants, maintenance requests etc, but they even post my vacancies online (with pictures and amenities) automatically when tenant leases are about to expire. All of that and its still cheaper than a single listing on apartments.com!
  • thanks for sharing about this
  • Amarendra, have you seen the "Project Blogs" feature at www.norada.com Intro video at http://is.gd/lYIL

    It's essentially is a simple way to manage projects on a private blog with an integrated collaborative CRM to manage the entire client process.
  • Hi Jim,

    Why do you think Pacific Timesheet would be one of the Top Best of the Web online project management Application for CEO’S and Entrepreneurs!
  • Jim
    Another suggestion would be Pacific Timesheet. Being able to punch in and out through web, iPhone and regular phone line(IVR system) makes the software very useful. Its many features like customer reports, partial day off request and using employee ID or name as import timesheet... are all makes the software stands out of the crowd.
