This page is for those who are already using some kind of project management software (Basecamp in particular) but are looking for an alternative.
Basecamp is a great tool for managing tasks online. It gained a lot of popularity as one of the pioneers of web2 .0 with its "Less is More" philosophy. However, there is no tool to fit everybody, and a lot of users are looking for something more than "less" but still simple to use.
There are a lot of similarities between 5pm and Basecamp, both being web hosted services. However, there is a significant difference in approach and techniques. Both applications put emphasis on good design and simple interface, though with very different results, which is easy to spot at first glance:
Great news for you is that there are many good project management tools out there.
5pm has a distinctive approach to the interface. Most of the data is accessed through one main screen - no need to load many pages. More important - the interface is highly customizable and can be adjusted by each user to his/her own needs. While we try to keep it simple on the surface - you will be surprised how many features are hidden "under the hood". With 5pm intuitive interface your team will be able to start using 5pm without any training and keep discovering more features as they go.
