Assessing Web Collaboration Applications: Central Desktop

Know More: 30 Boxes, Applications, Basecamp, Central Desktop, Collaboration, Collective X, Groove, SharePoint 2.0, Applications

I reviewed Central Desktop not long ago, so I'll stick with comparing it with the other applications here:

Sharepoint - I actually prefer Central Desktop for small to medium businesses. It is cheaper and easier to use. Since the company is smaller than Microsoft you also have a better chance of getting your suggestions for changes or add-ins in front of the right people.
Groove - I like the ability to work offline with Groove, but Central Desktops meticulous revision tracking trumps that convenience.
Basecamp - Central Desktop is much more flexible that Basecamp and offers more features. However, if you don't need those features, they come out about the same in my book.
CollectiveX and 30Boxes - For techphobic clients or to set up a family group where members aren't likely to be very web savvy, CollectiveX and 30Boxes are just fine. For real work, Central Desktop beats them hands-down.

Hi,

Thanks for the review of Central Desktop. I did think it was a bit short, but I am looking into them myself. So I might post one later on. I've already made reviews of Jotspot and Socialtext, which I think could be real handy in the workplace. For the reviews: http://lunaticthought.blogspot.com

greetings,

Thanks for the reviews. I was looking at basecamp and Groove--basecamp looks simple. I like Grooves ability to be on my site but after downloaing it looks like a hguge learning curve. Looking at Central Desktop now-- wish they allowed more users.

Thanks for your review. It's always helpful to get information of this sort. I'm a happy user of Wrike :)though. I like it better than Central Desktop. I guess Wrike's just more mobile. I'm using it even when I'm not in the office. It's possible with my PDA so when I'm stuck in a traffic jam I'm still working.

I find that teamworklive is really good however, unless I misunderstood their deal, their per user licensing is a bit expensive for a small business 10 users would be $100 month...
