Employee Collaboration, Customer Collaboration, Document Management, and Project Management

This is a great start, Ben. I'll work to expand some resources that I've worked with as well.

Great work Ben! I hope you don't mind, but I also added information about FMYI (for my innovation) as well.

I don't mind at all, Justin.

As the President of the company, you no doubt have some insight.  Plus, it probably helps to lay out features in a way that a discerning customer might.  A lot of these companies aren't very forthcoming about this sort of information, whether intentionally or otherwise.

I also look forward to any additions, corrections, or alterations that Karen or others wish to make in the future.

Imaginatik http://www.imaginatik.com/ is great for describing and building on ideas across an organization. I have no further details to share.

Well done, Ben and Justin. We're all looking for that perfect collaboration tool, and this is a helpful analysis.

Karen, do you have any other products to add? Would be interested to learn about them.

I added Google Apps. My experience is primarily with the free version now called just "Google Apps" as well as "Google Apps for Business" which we've rolled out at NGS. I think we could also include Atlassian's Confluence and would like to hear more from people using SharePoint.

What do you all think about making this table into a Google form that we could share people's input as a sortable spreadsheet? I also wanted a few more columns/categories. Is anyone else interested in knowing a little bit more about each application? If so, what additional information would you want to know?

I appreciate the addition of Google Apps and Confluence.  I had sent an e-mail to Atlassian to request a free trial, but they didn't get back to me.  Our organization is in the Small to Medium Enterprise category, so maybe we aren't their target market.  The price seems about right though.

 I have been using Basecamp, and our organization seems to be leaning towards Sharepoint, so I will probably be able to add these in the next few months too.  If someone else wishes to add them though, I would have no problem with that.

 Adding the table to a Google form would be fine by me, although would it maintain its wiki-ish collaborative style?

 As for other information about each application, I am not entirely satisfied with Best/Worst Feature, although some subjective judgments help to give you an idea of how people might use the software.

 Some heading suggestions: Searching, WYSIWYG/Markup, Marketing to SMEs / Large Corporations / Governement / Non-profits, levels of access, Security, Support, Training

I moved Ben's initial table into a Google spreadsheet. Anyone who wants to contribute can easily update/add information to it. There's a link above OR you can copy and paste this link to add your ideas: https://spreadsheets.google.com/a/cybersailors.org/ccc?key=0Atvp3xCDtKjudEhrcm1KNlhfMFRpVHBCR1p4bzFPbEE&hl=en&authkey=CMHzt6MJ . There's a definitions tab as well. It would be helpful to have others weigh-in on the ideas expressed here since some of the columns were not completely clear as to the interpretation. Thank you! Karen
