I am a big fan of online project management and team collaboration applications. I think that the most value-added part of an online project management app is the team collaboration features. The idea of being able to share discussions, in the context of a task or an issue, is very powerful. And it is much better than those (sometimes infinite) email discussions. If you is lucky, emails may answer the question for the one who asked, but always require extra effort to communicate again the info to the team, and document the project file.
To get the benefit of team collaboration, it is very important to have a clean, nice looking, and easy to use interface. TeamBox does provide a nice a pleasant interface.
My only wish is that we could group projects in portfolios or categories. If you have a lot of projects, it would make it easier to manage the list! Otherwise, great app, with iPhone app, good interface, good connection to other services like cloud storage. I also wish they would have recurring tasks (also called repeating tasks by some). It seems that they are working on it (see this link).
So if you are looking for a nice looking app to better manage your project, and better collaborate with your team, your files, and other application, take a look at TeamBox.
