One of the reasons I think that Teambox is getting play right now is that they actually have a downloadable set of code and an appliance model. I work in a space that they would never move to a SaaS environment. The networks aren’t even connected to the Internet but they’re clamoring for tools like this that don’t cost millions to implement. I believe there is actually a great business opportunity to partner with some of the west coast startups and package their products and services into appliances or provide support on closed networks.

Just played with teambox, a bit of curious why such simple collaboration tool with very simple functionality can get a lot of attraction, just because it’s too simple? There are pletty more which is more powerful and user friendly, such as huddle.net, ajaxworkspace.com. I think even deskaway.com is far more better than it

At the moment, I am using Apollo (http://www.apollohq.com). They are still giving out invites, and apparently are going to get out of beta by December.

Apollo has a very different interface, it’s web based but it’s like using a native application… not everybody’s thing, but it really works for me! J

You may want to look at HyperOffice as well. It brings an integrated approach to collaboration, in that includes tools for mail, project collaboration and online meetings in a single suite.

Hi Meryl,

This project collaboration is getting too much cluttered. With the arrival of so many tools after basecamp, I notice more players and less customers. :)
We have been using one such tool called Remindo and are pretty satisfied with it. As always I tried teambox and didn’t find a compelling reason to switch to it. The only differentiation is that I can host it on my server but I don’t need that feature.

Web apps banding together and integrating is just the kind of holistic approach I discuss over on GigaOM Pro: http://pro.gigaom.com/2009/08/enterprise-2-0-web-apps-and-the-patchwork-quilt-problem/

I think it would be a colossal idea if someone integrated Freshbooks with Teambox. Both have great APIs and I know Teambox is excited about the idea. Im not a programmer or I’d make it happen. But someone please jump on the idea!

We use Wrike for collaboration and project management. I guess Wrike is more a pm tool.

Great question, Petra. I played with Backpack only once — ages ago. So I couldn’t give you a thorough response. It looks like Teambox has some of the same features as Backpack with its PAGES. Salesforce is heavy duty — at least, last time I checked and I haven’t seen the “Free” version.
