Hi,

My biased 2c: Maybe give Apollo a go.

http://www.apollohq.com

I can't say that we fixed all your "bads", but we are definitely working on it :D With a low price, you get both project management and CRM (!). Apollo comes with timers, cases&deals, calendars, and it has a fantastic, AJAX interface...

Thanks a lot!

Merc.

We're using YouFig (www.youfig.com)... where community admins have access to all aspects of the community, see who's doing what, which is really important to us as a company, on top of all the applications (documents, spreadsheets, videos, pics, files, calendars, gmail/outlook integration, groups) that YouFig offers... and they're not charging for it. Definitely recommended.

Projjex.com is a great new site that does a fabulous job of project management. It's completely browser-based, really easy to use, and has a free version. Cool videos too - I love it!

Well, I tried Basecamp and cancelled my account. It seems all right at first, but when you actually start using it you find out that first, it lacks basic project management features, like Gantt charts. Second, that $12 for just 250Mb of storage space and just 30projects is awfully expensive! There are so much better and cheaper tools out there. I personally switched to Wrike. It has more functionality and it's just $5 a month!

For the price that it costs I am rather upset that when I complete a milestone it does not show up in a project members folder as completed. I am also very upset that i cannot erase my to do lists... and I'm sure if I spend more than just a few hours with it I will find many many more problems with it.

@ $149/month ... it should not have these bugs.

Basecamp was OK, but their customer service left something to be desired. I switched over to OnStage and would recommend it.

I have tried Basecamp mainly because I had heard about it so much on blogs, articles, etc. I had used AceProject for a while and I was curious about the "To Do" type thing in Basecamp. The interface simplicity is awesome, the way milestones are displayed is nice and it allows unlimited users, no matter which package you subscribe to.

However, I decided to get back to AceProject for several reasons. In project management, I think features like Gantt charts, task reports and time tracking are necessary. I feel Basecamp is like a giant "reminder" software. I did not find any access levels (admin, normal user, etc.), any reports, no data import/export... These features are all available in AceProject... and more! I need that.

The bottom line, Basecamp is not for me, thank you.
