For project management and social collaboration, look no further than Podio. Among a range of features, we really like the ability to create customer applications to meet specific business requirements. All this is supplied without managers needing to have any technical skills. A standout feature for us is the Podio App Market where users can access hundreds of free apps, all built by Podio and meeting specific industry and management requirements.
Podio is also fully scalable, offering a range of plans depending on the size of the business. These begin at $9/user/month for the basic plan. Collaboration is key here too, and we like the Facebook-style look of the interface for easy learning. File management, instant messaging, and video chat help to improve in-team communications. However, for us, it’s the app-building capabilities that set Podio apart, making it a solid option for smaller businesses requiring customization features.

As a cloud-based workflow management platform, Kintone offers a customizable solution for all business sizes. From our experience, Kintone performs well when it comes to the ability to automate tasks including assignments, notifications, and processes in the workflow. There’s no need to create custom code for this, Kintone does it for you.
At $24/user/month, Kintone offers a range of benefits for all businesses no matter whether they’re in education, government, or nonprofit. We particularly like some key features such as compliance management, event monitoring, and the ability to convert Excel spreadsheets into apps. For businesses that need an on-the-go solution, Kintone has apps, workshops, and consulting to get businesses fluidly working on the platform.

This is a digital note-taking app that comes as part of the Microsoft 365 suite and costs $6 per month. Microsoft OneNote is available across all operating systems, not just Windows, making this particularly accessible for individuals. In our experience, attending meetings and taking notes can be a chore, but OneNote makes it easy to separate meeting notes. We especially find the deep search functionality for all notes in the database a useful addition to this tool.
Users can also store audio recordings in a searchable format, as well as make handwritten notes when OneNote is used on a tablet. The ability to turn such notes into digital text is a feature we love to see. Ideal for individuals within a business who attend multiple meetings, OneNote has cloud-based storage, and the ability to sync between both personal and enterprise accounts.

This CRM solution is great for small businesses that need task and contact management functions. Highrise provides users with the ability to communicate with clients to see the status of relationships. All contacts from other solutions can be imported for improved organization. The feature allowing users to add notes and comments to data fields in contact details is one we’ve found incredibly useful when keeping track of clients.
Starting at $24 per month with up to 6 users, Highrise doesn’t just make communication management easy. We also found a range of task management features such as task views, creating tasks, and adding contacts to projects. From our experience, the Good Morning virtual PA from Highrise is a blessing, helping to organize incoming activity on a priority basis — it’s something we haven’t seen in other solutions. As such, this fully integrative solution offers smaller businesses the tools to maintain better contact with all stakeholders.

A solid choice for all management needs, Zoho Projects is at the forefront when it comes to automating workflows and increasing team efficiency. Starting at $4/user/month, we’ve found that Zoho Projects is well worth it, offering businesses a vast array of functionalities. It’s a dynamic solution too, offering bespoke features such as industry-specific project templates as and when needed.
In our experience, Zoho Projects is one of the best solutions for launching projects. The interface is simple and intuitive with convenient List Views for simpler navigation. Visuals such as Gantt charts can be created, as can Reports for more detailed analysis. Finally, we found that it is fully integrated with in-house applications for smooth operation. All in all, Zoho Projects is a robust solution for teams in hybrid or remote settings.

A modern project management software, we found that Quire offers a more transformative approach when it comes to workflow management. Allowing users to break ambitious goals into manageable steps means that the smallest tasks go a long way to achieving the final goal. The ability to provide a full view of the project while maintaining sight of the bigger picture is a feature we feel sets Quire apart.
Quire starts at $0 per user per month and goes from there depending on what the specific business requirements might be. For us, the standout feature is the ability to move from digestible tasks to reach the final over-arching goal. As such, Quire is exceptional in helping teams commit to that final endpoint, delving into the task details while maintaining the overall goal. Aiding companies in balancing micro and macro tasks, Quire is key to efficient, productive work, all with actionable steps. It’s a must for businesses where achieving smaller targets is desired.

As a charting and layout software, Think-Cell automates PowerPoint to create professional slides. Offering tight integration with Excel, Think-Cell helps to bring data updates, tables, and images to any PowerPoint. It’s a one-solution-fits-all scenario here, and is available for all businesses at $298.80 per year. Better still, we really like the fact that pain points such as formatting and data integration are performed by Think-Cell, freeing up individuals for other areas of concern.
Simply a PowerPoint add-on, we feel that it really aids in simplifying complete chart and graph creation. With that in mind, we think it’s an ideal solution for consultants and finance professionals when it comes to data presentation. Those looking to streamline and transform their data into appealing presentations in a timely manner, would do well to check out Think-Cell.

Great for all-size businesses, MeisterTasks offers secure and simple project management software. Using Kanban project boards, and set up for agile workflow, MeisterTask can be used for sprints, classic projects, and task management across a range of industries and teams. We like the fact that there is a free option allowing smaller companies the chance to test out what’s on offer. Main starting prices begin at $8.25/user/month.
A key benefit to MeisterTasks, and one we really found useful, is the ability for users to discuss the project in detail. There’s also a Section Action, which helps users to change the status of tasks, move tasks to new channels, and help the entire team see the over-arching goal of the project via the project documentation application. Integration via Zapier means access to more than 2000 productivity, storage, and data management apps, making this a comprehensive platform, offering everything in one place.

Enabling businesses to set up workflow and management processes for increased efficiency, Camunda can be used by any company. Different from many solutions, we found that Camunda comes in SaaS form or can be self-managed. As a result, pricing differs depending on the option chosen by the business.
Camunda has development-friendly software that is able to make complex workflows become seamless. It’s also easily integrated with a variety of endpoints including microservices and legacy systems. Popular with big businesses, the fact that Camunda can be self-hosted is a major plus for us and is key to aiding businesses in digital transformation processes. Businesses that need to manage processes across teams, devices, and systems should check out Camunda.

With advanced timesheet functionality, we found Replicon to be a great option for tracking valuable information. This doesn’t just include task progress, but also check-ins, billable hours, invoice creation, overdue bills, and dealing with multi-currency transactions. As this is a scalable solution, there are multiple pricing options for the various functionality levels required. Businesses need to contact Replicon for pricing.
A key feature we appreciate is the application programming interface (API), which enables businesses to integrate with other third-party solutions. Additionally, the ability to approve workflow and collaborate across the team and clients in a single, central platform helps boost this solution in our eyes. In short, businesses of all sizes can use Replicon to streamline their entire project cycles, breaking down structures to allow better resource allocation and progress tracking.
