I've tried MS Project, and it was horrible. It's got all the great features, but still it just doesn't work well for many project teams. Zoho, Basecamp, Central Desktop and my favourite Wrike.com are much better alternatives. They are cheaper and are more flexible. Of course not all of them have the feature set to match MS Project. I like Wrike, as it has interactive Gantt Charts, reports, due dates and many other stuff, that some other MS Project alternatives lack.

I use their invoicing tool and i use their CRM tool. For Docs i prefer Google. For companies Google Apps is pretty neat. One thing i dont like in the Zoho suite is the project management tool. The interface is a little boring and some of the functionalities are missing. For PM we use <a href="http://www.deskaway.com/" rel="nofollow"> Deskaway </a> - checked it out yet?Btw - are u using a WP Platform? Love the Zoho suite.

All of Zoho apps have a free version. First 3 users in Zoho CRM are free and for Zoho Projects, the first project is free.And Zoho has been there before Google Docs. We debuted our word processor (Zoho Writer) & our online organizer (Zoho Planner) in September 2005. Jason : Thanks for trying out Zoho & recommending us to your readers.

I have the 2007 Office Enterprise installed and none of these freebie apps come anywhere near it: OK I admit I'm a Wintard and I admire M$ to a large extent, but so what: If they wrote crap software I'd look elsewhere - And admittedly one or two of their services and pieces of software are crap - Which gives Linux maybe more than no chance.
