Make Smart Software Choices (and not cheap choices)
Posted Jun 15 2008 11:03pm by Daniel - product team.

I was just reading a blog post over at Internet Redux.  Titled Basecamp not for you? Check out Wrike, the author extols the virtues of a project management software because of its price, $3.99 per user per month.  For $12/month,this author can get his 3 employees all using the same project management tool.

I don't know about you, but the thought of trusting the very guts of my business to an operator who wants to charge $3.99 a month scares me.  I've worked hard at running the numbers on WORKetc.  With our program of constant development, redundant hosting infrastructure and A1 support, we would be bankrupted pretty quickly.

So, if you are a small business owner looking for the cheapest solution on the market, please be weary.  Going cheap and the risks of doing so would easily out weigh the cost saving. 

More importantly, we believe we have a far superior product offering - look at the whole offering and not just the charge on your credit card.

This is what one of our very real customers had to say about support:

...add to this a friendly and responsive support team and you have a solution you can trust.

WORKetc Reviewed on Web Worker Daily
Posted Jun 4 2008 12:54pm by Daniel - product team.

Scott Blitstein over at Web Worker Daily has just posted a great review of WORKetc.  What is great about this is Scott was a user on Veetro, which was essentially WORKetc version 1, so he knows first hand how far we have come:

I recall evaluating Veetro in the past and finding the interface lacking, but this new version 2.0 brightens things up considerably and adds improved navigation and lots of obligatory AJAX to make things easier to use.


Interestingly, Scott also touches on one of our key challenges building WORKetc, that is, how to integrate a range of tools, without letting any one tool not get the full WORKetc treatment.  The total value of WORKetc is only as much as the weakest tool.  If a single tool isn't up to the mark, then the whole application falls short. 

The fear with this sort of approach [all in one solution] is that the individual apps might not stand up to their standalone counterparts but I certainly didn’t feel that I was using a “lite” version of anything. Features vary even in standalones and in most instances I found that the individual WORKetc apps are really quite feature rich.
