AjaxWorkspace

171 AjaxWorkspace website Back to Online Project Management Tools: Part 1

AJAXWorkspace is another online project management solution which consists of an integrated suite of simple and easy-to-use collaboration functionalities. It can be easily used both by a company (a team) and by a freelancer from home. Given service produces quite a decent impression having almost everything you may need as far as functionality is concerned; however, as you understand, nice functionality doesn’t mean nice tool because there are other important points that has to be taken into consideration as well. We will talk about them in a while.

Now let’s take a look at the screenshots, so you have an idea about AjaxWorkspace. Here is the Dashboard:

The great feature of this page consists in the fact that it provides all the information regarding particular project: task list, discussions, project settings, project expenses, project statistic and etс. Unfortunately there is no latest activity section, so you can’t check at once what happened since your last login.

Next screenshot we are going to check is Task View with Comments:

In fact this page provides comprehensive data about a task (task description, comments, task status, task priority, project, milestone and etc.), so you can hardly want something to be added here.

The last page to be reviewed is Discussions Page:

174 AjaxWorkspace Discussions Back to Online Project Management Tools: Part 1

Though it looks pretty decent, to my mind it’s too simple because you don’t even have an opportunity to edit or delete a post. So if you would like to delete something, you need to delete whole topic.

Main characteristic features:

  • Opportunity for the workspace to have own domain name, logo and own email notification services
  • SSL encryption
  • Notepad feature (opportunity to add different ideas and reminders)
  • Opportunity to publish news & headlines among your project or organization
  • A lot of packages to choose from: individual, corporate, enterprise (managed and self-managed) and etc.

Pros and cons:

+ ability to create documents
+ commenting on tasks and created documents
+ detailed reports
+ Calendar panel
+ separate panel for discussions
+ separate panel for files
+ description for tasks and projects
+ task priority

- interface can hardly be regarded as an attractive one
- no subtasks
- no way to edit and delete comments
- no text formatting options (except documents)
- no comments on projects

Believe or not we didn’t receive the response from customer support service at all.
