Overall Satisfaction with Projectplace

We started using Projectplace to allow multiple users located in different places and time zones to work in a much more collaborative and integrated way than was possible previously. It has eliminated problems such as misunderstanding, by allowing instantaneous, focused discussions, or parallel documents appearing in the same project space. We now use it across most of our internal work, and hope to extend that to external projects in due course.
  • Integrating directly with Microsoft Office platform so that you can carry on using your existing software without change.
  • Providing a logical structure by which you can break down tasks and allocate deadlines and responsibilities.
  • Instantaneous communication so that documents or changes made can be explained, put in context, queried, or pass on for review.
  • Allocation of cards, tasks, and activities to each other could be smoother/more transparent.
  • The messaging function requires you to either mark all messages as read or go through them one by one. It would help if when you read a message linked to a particular card that you could indicate that you have read all messages on that card.
  • greater productivity and speed of response
  • better quality of output by reducing document conflicts
I wasn't involved in the selection so I can't really answer this.... I've only used dropbox which is more of a document storage system than a full project management tool.
It is very good at supporting projects where multiple people are working on the same project, whether in overlapping roles or actually on the same document. It really speeds up progress in these circumstances.
