ConceptDraw PROJECT vs. Goodwerp (discontinued)

Getting started - using the Gantt chart to enter tasks in any order and then using those tasks to initially define a MindMap to further explore alternative dependencies. The alternative works better when initiating a project with significant unknowns.

It is a software platform for any SMB to get seriously organized

• Integration with ConceptDraw Mindmap makes work breakdown very easy.
• We have cross-functional teams where team members often work on different projects in parallel. The multi project management feature has been a blessing over these years.
• Another import feature is the availability of many different predefined report generation templates that made it very easy to communicate different aspects of the project to different stakeholders.

• A wisely simple user-interface
• From project management to team-collaboration
• Great customer support: Whenever I asked for something, within a short time, somebody from Goodwerp was there to assist

• Non-intuitive keyboard shortcuts
• No advanced reporting or estimates

Incentivized

• An embedded way for meeting with clients via teleconference.
• A BOX.com connector so as to easily use the files already stored there.
• Perhaps a library of project templates.

I was a happy customer

Online tutorials always available + chat, email and phone. Questions answered promptly and completely.

ConceptDraw has a much simpler licensing and pricing model. Perpetual license and ability to use in offline mode was an important criteria for us. Perfect bundle for small and medium business.

Goodwerp combines for example the accounting module and sales-lead nurturing and qualification module which are not present in the other platforms.

• Inexpensive way to present a professional project plan when needed

Incentivized

• reduces the time of getting from one application to another.
• Better decision making:
• Increased productivity
