Here at dopamina360, both the team and project volume has grown extremely fast that we decided to search online for a web based application to serve as platform for our teamwork projects.
As a small creative thinking tank, the requirements we find necessary are the following:
· Users
o Customized and variety profiles with various permissions
o Email notifications to other users
o Personal profile
o Online chat between online users
o Messaging between users
o Very simple and user friendly interface
· Project objectives
o Files and folders
o Tasks associated to users
o Milestones
o Project related messages
· Cost Effective resource
o Preferable for free
Essentially this application suits any small work groups with employees working on numerous projects simultaneously.
After conducting research and trial running many softwares, we chose the open source solution Collabtive.
Installation instructions are very face forward. If your website host is able to give you access to cpanel, than the software is available to install in 5 minutes.
Here at dopamina360, our staff found the application user friendly, and nor did we face any major problems using it. The software satisfies all our requirements simply and efficiently. In addition, there were no unnecessary complicated features, as we had experienced in two other trial versions of commercial softwares.
The only negative feature we found is the user desktop menu disappears when you choose a project, instead of appearing as a submenu. This could potentially cause some confusion when the user opts to return back to the desktop menu.
The only custom adjustment that we have made to this software was to change the login menu image to make our logo appear. Maybe they will add this to the installation menu.
After our trial run of this web-based application, we here at dopamina360 rate it 7/10, making this a very good, much needed software.
