Collaboration Tools: Project2Manage

The fourth collaboration tool that I will evaluate: Project2Manage

Hardware/Software Requirements & OS/Browser Compatibility:
  • No hardware or software downloads, just like the other 3. 
  • The service is cloud-based, so only an internet connection is required for users. All  browsers are compatible with Project2Manage
Storage Space:

Number of Users Per Project:
  • Unlimited!


Synchronization and Email:
  • No email feature.
  • All updates, shares, annotations and edits are up-to-the-minute.
  • Messaging is available to members of each project's team.
Security:
  • Only upgraded accounts have have 128-bit SSL encryption. 
    • Setting users' roles makes for more secure content.
    • Not 100% monitored.
  • More on P2M's security
Functionality and Services:
  • Users can upload, download, edit, annotate, share and collaborate on most file common types. 
  • Messaging replaces standard email or IM. 
  • A tour of P2M is available
So, how does it stack up?

Hardware/Software/OS/Browser: A
Number of Users per Project: A
