Daptiv PPM, our “TopTenREVIEWS Silver Award” winner, is a browser–based project management program that makes collaboration easy and efficient.
This product ranks among the best, easily qualifying for second place. We rated Daptiv PPM, formally known as eProject, second because it offers an extra handful of collaboration features, including a discussion board/forum. On the other hand, a few slight shortcomings in its project management features kept Daptiv from being our top pick.

Collaboration:
Collaboration and communication is the area where Daptiv really shines. The project management software includes an Issues section that allows you to not only raise issues regarding a project, but track their progress and see what percent of them have been resolved.
Daptiv sends out email notifications when an issue is edited, completed or deleted. The program also offers a forum that lets your entire team (CEOs, project supervisors and employees) give input on a project—an ideal way to brainstorm and organize ideas.
While not as sophisticated as dedicated contact management software, Daptiv’s Contact Manager lets you quickly sort through contacts by name, organization, email, or use the search function to find who you’re looking for. Projects created in Microsoft Project can also be integrated with Daptiv, and vice-versa.
Resource Management:
Daptiv features a comprehensive list of resource management features. A key feature of the project management software is the ability to view resource allocation, which lets you oversee the workload for each employee and reallocate tasks if necessary.
Daptiv also includes resource details and skill sheets, which allows project managers to determine which employee is best for a given task. Employees can then manage and update their time spent on a project by using the time sheets. This information can then be exported to timesheets for use with accounting software.
Project Management:
One of Daptiv’s best features is the check–in/check–out process of document management. This allows you to keep control over documents by setting restrictions and version numbers, and even see if a document's final draft has been edited. Daptiv keeps a history log in addition to sorting documents by version number, so navigating through this section is especially easy. Because setting permissions and restrictions is so easy, you never have to worry about someone overwriting a document they shouldn't have access to within the project management software.
Ease of Use:
Daptiv is very easy to use and navigate, though like most project management programs, it will take some time to familiarize yourself with all the available features and capabilities. While many of the project management programs we reviewed had centralized dashboard features, Daptiv's dashboard is a step above the rest. It's completely customizable; place links and important information wherever you want. Using the dashboard's intuitive interface, it's easy to manipulate data to give you the results you need.
Help/Support:
Daptiv offers a variety of self-help options including FAQs, a manual, knowledgebase and tutorials. If you still have questions about the project management software, you can contact their customer support by phone or email. Daptiv runs on all recent Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.
Summary: If you want your team to stay continually updated on your project, and if you value the entire team feedback, Daptiv PPM is a great project management program. Your clients, vendors and executives will also be able to track project status effectively and in real-time.
