Overview
ProjectManager is a hosted project and portfolio tool that keeps one plan visible as a Gantt chart, a task list, a sheet, a kanban board and a calendar, with baselines and critical path underneath. The entry Team tier covers that planning layer for up to ten users and adds unlimited read-only guest licences, so people who only need to watch progress do not take a seat. Resource management, workload planning, timesheets, budgeting and portfolio dashboards all begin on the Business tier. Several connectors are sold as a separate integration bundle.
Our take
The shape of the paid tiers is the thing to weigh before anything else: everything that turns a plan into controlling, meaning hours, workloads, budgets and the portfolio view, arrives in one jump at the second tier. There is no gentle middle to grow into, so the real question is whether the cheaper tier is enough on its own. For a team that only needs to lay out work and show it to people it is, and the free guest licences make that case unusually well. If you have to bill the hours, price the higher tier plus the integration bundle from the start.

How we check reviews
Reviews are not published yet. The form on a tool's page works and reaches us, but nothing from it appears on this site, so no score here is based on a review. The rules below are the ones that will apply once reviews go live.
Every review is read by a person before it appears. We require a working email address and use it to come back to the author, so a review has a reachable sender rather than being anonymous. We publish positive and negative reviews alike, we pay nothing and offer nothing for a review, and we accept none that was bought or incentivised.
What we cannot do is verify a purchase. There is no shop here and no account, so whether the author really used the tool rests on what they tell us, plus the plausibility of what they write. We say so rather than implying a check that does not exist.
A vendor cannot have a review removed, cannot buy one, and cannot have one changed. Paid placement and a paid listing have no effect on which reviews appear or on any score.
