Vertabase
Vertabase is an online task/budget management tool that appears to be designed for one business to manage projects for multiple client. The interface is horrible. The screen is split in the middle using frames and as such you find yourself continually scrolling up and down to see the contents of the work frame, which is in the bottom half of the screen. Another issue is the system’s use of pop-up scripts to add information such as tasks. These scripts are blocked by most browsers and create confusion for users. In addition, after four attempts I gave up trying to add tasks as it just wouldn’t take. The third issue is with the menus, three are visible at the same time: global, project and sub-project - most confusing. And all of this for what is a very limited project features set: document management (one level of folders and versioning), task management, and reporting. Globally you have timesheets and other reporting options but very little for those actually trying to work on a project.
