  2. Another great project management tool that’s not on your list is Clarizen –
    http://www.clarizen.com
    Cloud based, SaaS software means you, your team and your clients can access easily from anywhere. It has the best collaboration features that I have found, allowing everyone involved in the project, from manger to client, to follow the progress in real time. You can also easily communicate through the program using email, notes and chat. With Clarizen, each person can track their budget and time. Clarizen now integrates with other software, including Microsoft excel and Salesforce.
