I used Basecamp for a long time. Then I switched to http://www.5pmweb.com and didn’t look back. Now they even have a tool to import your data from Basecamp. Plus a couple of my clients still use IE6 and it seams that Basecamp doesn’t support it anymore…

I’m mostly impressed by 5pm interface – those guys really did design an unique UI. Takes me less clicks to do stuff. As a designer I can appreciate such an advanced usability.

People have very different needs so you’ll never find ‘THE’ perfect soluton. All these solution will be of value to some people and not to others. Another tool to look at, more at the AtTask level is http://www.proworkflow.com.

In case activeCollab doesn’t meet your reader’s needs, there are many other alternatives. Iâ€™ve compiled quite a list of them at my Basecamp bitch site, some of which are open-source, at:

Hope this helps others find a good project management solution that meets their needs.

While I like activeCollab, I still prefer onstageportal.com. Its all about reliability. I can’t afford to have my site go down, and can’t afford the servers to provide that kind of reliability. That is where the hosted services like onstage and basecamp have an advantage. They can take advantage of economies of scale. That may not be as important to everyone though.

Too bad it doesn’t support PHP 4.0

More AJAX wouldn’t hurt either

aC is now going closed source with a hybrid free-basic-version/paid-advanced-version model. Lots of uncertainty with aC these days. Can’t say it’s right or wrong, but something you should consider before committing all your time and data to the project.
