Top 10: Enterprise project management software

2018. Asana launched $19.99 Business tier to help managers handle multiple projects



Project management service Asana is adding another tier for enterprises that are using Asana for multiple projects: Asana Business, priced at $19.95 per user, per month. Aimed primarily at teams that have managers or executives overseeing multiple projects simultaneously — sometimes in the thousands for a single organization — the idea is that Business will have extra features to help designated people handle and triage that workload more effectively. That focus on executives and managers is one part of the company’s bigger vision of where it sees its own place in the range of productivity tools that a business might use, alongside other areas like efficient storage (a la Dropbox, Box or another cloud-based service) or communication (eg, Slack, Workplace, Teams, etc.).


2018. Wrike integrates with Microsoft Teams


Own Microsoft's project management tool for Office 365 (Microsoft Planner) - is not so popular yet. That is why integration between team messenger Microsoft Teams and popular project management service Wrike makes sense. First of all the integration allows companies to use single sign-on for Office 365 and Wrike user-accounts. Second, in any Teams chat you can add Wrike's tab with needed project, where you can work with task list and timeline view. Any task can be published to Teams chat for discussion and collaboration. Besides, in Teams chat you can automatically receive project notifications from Wrike. It's very easy to connect Wrike to Teams - it takes just several clicks in the Teams Store.

2018. Smartsheet got $1.9 billion valuation after IPO

Smartsheet reported a strong 3.6 million users in its IPO filings, with business customers including Cisco and Starbucks. The company brought in $111.3 million in revenue for its fiscal 2018 year, but as with many SaaS companies, it’s going public with a loss.


2018. Zoho Projects gets enhanced Gantt chart


Zoho came up with more upgrades for its project management app Zoho Projects, including an enhanced Gantt chart that supports all four types of task dependencies, custom views for tasks, and plenty more. The new Zoho People integration brings in vacation or time-off details about your team members into Projects, so that you can make sure tasks or bugs don’t wait on them when they are unavailable. The task and bug timers can now be paused and resumed instead of stopping and restarting from the beginning. With the new Zoho Meeting integration, you can simply click Meet Now on the Task Details page to meet your team online and clarify questions, resolve problems, or make decisions. Recall that in October last year Zoho launched another project management tool - Zoho Sprints.
