eStudio
I had a very quick test run of the eStudio tool. I know that looks are not everything, but it has a very 1990s techy developed feel to it. This is also reflected in the page layouts and forms that reminded me of PHPAdmin… The overal result is poor and will send the average manager running in the opposite direction. However, projects are easy to set up and in reality the system is fairly easy to use. It lacks functionality however, certainly for document management (no versioning, no folder creation) and milestones (which can’t be assigned dates). It has a few simple but useful collaboration features such as chat, forums, etc. The drawback is that these are at the parent level when they should be at the project level. This one isn’t for me…next!
PS. eStudio is offered as a hosted or self-hosted solution (you really have to dig around the web site for the latter, called eStudio Fortress.)
