Planzone Online Project Management Software Offers 10 Complimentary Subscriptions to Profy Readers

Planzone is a new online project management software for team collaboration that seems to have some interesting advantages even their biggest competitors lack. Planzone is only recently out of beta and is now ready for everyone to enjoy a new approach to online collaboration of teams.

The online software has been developed by the company that already has significant experience in project management software – Augeo Software. The French company already has a number of well-known companies relying on their desktop software and back in June they launched the online solution Planzone in beta.

Since then, the solution has received a few positive opinions from bloggers, including a very detailed review from WebWorkerDaily. But actually the reviews don’t seem to be actually numerous – hence I can draw the conclusion that the service attracted the majority of the 2 thousand users participating in beta mainly via word of mouth marketing – which must be a good indication of the quality of service.

Of course there are already multiple project management software options – both as desktop applications and as online applications. But there are certain things that make Planzone stand out against the competition. First of all, it is the clean and user-friendly interface only found in the latest generation of web applications but rarely found in desktop software. Personally, I have always felt a problem reviewing project-management applications as they usually have quite a long learning curve – while Planzone is immediately understandable and I had no problems figuring out what to do in virtually no time.

Besides, Planzone offers various project management features that are appealing enough to make even some Microsoft Project users migrate, like dynamic Gantt chart, simultaneous management of multiple projects all from one dashboard, resource management. And of course it also offers collaboration tools not available in desktop applications – discussions, wiki, document sharing, alerts (either by email or by RSS), and reports.

I think the most distinctive advantage is actually in multi-project management that allows the administrators to create and manage as many projects at a time as needed, at the same time monitoring multiple resources required and tasks involved in each project. Besides, the Planzone community can share templates for projects for everyone to use so you can also rely on other people’s experience if you are not sure how exactly you should handle your project.

It is also worth mentioning that even the free plan offered by Planzone is rather full-functional and definitely offers richer functionality than other competitors. The various paid plans available differ in the storage volume and the number of projects you can manage simultaneously (the free version supports 2 projects at a time). The paid versions start from 10 euro per month with different versions priced depending on the number of projects you can manage at a time and the volume of storage for files sharing between team members.

As a courtesy to Profy readers for the most interested of you to be able to experience Planzone in full, the team is offering 10 subscriptions for free to the first 10 readers who register for Planzone and leave a comment here using the same email they used to sign up for Planzone.
