Software Pros Glasscubes: https://www.glasscubes.com/ Collaboration software-great for file sharing/editing Easy to use user interface Can limit access down to the document and/or individual level Has comprehensive task tracking Software authors are constantly improving program and open to suggestions Zoho: https://www.zoho.com/ Best for task management, useful for project managers Allows for more customization Plug ins and apps available to view tasks and track progress Presents tasks in a variety of layouts for easy viewing Basecamp: https://basecamp.com/ Cost effective and easy to use Great for small projects Great for communicating with your team, keeping lists and tracking tasks aidsetc.org

Software Cons Glasscubes: Zoho: Basecamp: Calendar not compatible w/Outlook or other project management software Calendar has been reported to have small bugs – so far not observed on my end Software authors are in England Task software can be a bit too complex for some users Firewalls may limit users in uploading files or other actions Zoho: Can be overwhelming if you’re tracking a lot of projects Sometimes hard to find information in older tasks or threads Maybe too many features? Calendar not compatible w/Outlook Basecamp: Too many alerts and notifications by default Not as customizable as some software aidsetc.org
