One of most requested feature in Zoho Projects is the NiceURL.

NiceURL ? what it is going to do ? in what way it benefits users ? here it goes

Each tab in your project is unique. You can open each project tabs like dashboard, timesheet, documents, tasks & milestones in a separate browser tabs and also can bookmark them.

you can go to a particular project tab straight away (by bookmarking) instead of hopping from one page to another. 

Navigation from one project tab to another is lot smoother with the help of back & forward buttons of the browser.

It was love at first type.

In search of a cost -effective project management and collaboration software, I came across ZOHO ProjectsWeary from years of searching, testing and then abandoning software after software, I approached ZOHO Projects.
 ZOHO offers a full-featured and user-friendly project management and collaboration interface to help even the most disconnected of virtual teams find their groove.   
 Simply Virtual’s team is already benefiting from increased collaboration and productivity.  Managing projects is more fluid because we know “who’s on first” with the click of a mouse. But, don’t take my word for it . . . Check it out yourself!http://www.projects.zoho.com.

It has been an exciting year that passed by which marked the release of Zoho Projects 2.0.

During the first two quarters we rolled out few enhancements, bug fixes and worked to make Projects 2.0 a feature-rich app packed with an easy-to-use interface. The new release was spiced up with few teasers to gear up the momentum. It was an instant hit and well received with an overwhelming response from our users.

Announcing Social Way to Get Things Done : Zoho Projects 2.0

Ah ! there were really encouraging tweets from users about ZP2.0 release like :

The one compared us with Basecamp


 So, Zoho Projects is basically a BaseCamp killer? Looks interesting. http://blogs.zoho.com/general/projects20 - samharrelson

Talks about the ease of use


 "I recommend Zoho Projects for Project Management Collaborations. Fast, Neat and Easy. Besides, its fun to shoot tasking arrows in there " - keizng


A real good compliment to cherish


 The best project management tool I came across lately http://projects.zoho.com/ - Pongra

   A Wow ! feel of the new Projects 2.0

 " Wow! New 'social' layout for @zoho projects - even has a search - so far so good! Thanks Zoho Team! " - officeassist


and more....

2009 has given a lot of value for our product. We got some good feedback about how the product helped customers expand their business even in midst of an economic slump. Zoho Projects 2.0 release was aimed towards getting things done (GTD) faster so you spend quality time at work which adds more value for a work-life balance.

Apart from the major 2.0 release we also added features like Collaborate via Email, Task Details Page, Developer API for Projects. Integrating various Google based applications has been a trend at Zoho and we too followed this by integrating Zoho Projects for Google Apps.

Announcing Zoho Projects Integration with Google Apps

This integration helped Google users to extend project management and collaboration capabilities of Zoho Projects within Google Apps which got a good coverage by web2.0 media blogs like TechCrunch, LifeHacker, WebWorkerDaily.

I would like to say thank you to everyone who have made it possible for us to reach where we are now and hope this trend continues even beyond 2010.

Here at Zoho Projects, we work towards simplifying your teamwork, run projects like a charm and collaborate with a geographically separated team with ease.

Similarly, go to settings -- company profile -- upload powered by logo section and upload the required powered by logo.

Do you feel irritated creating the same set of tasks repeatedly from the scratch? Yes, you do. Then it's time to change the way you work.

Zoho Projects Review: AppAppeal

Dec 23 2009 08:43:37 PM Posted By : Truman
Comments (0)
 A centralized place where project documents and contents are stored, updates are posted, everyone exchange ideas and get work done.
  Google Apps, when taken as a whole, provide an online collaboration tool, but they do not have the wealth of features offered by Zoho Projects.
 The Zoho Projects site has a clean and uncluttered look and feel. The site is quite responsive, and page loads and file transfers happen quickly. The various features have the feel of dedicated desktop apps, and are quite responsive. User navigation of the site is accomplished through a convenient top menu bar with tabs. There is no advertising displayed on the Zoho Projects site.
 Zoho Projects is recommended to any group or organization who has need of an online collaboration tool. The service is ideal for groups or organizations which are geographically diverse or which employ a lot of freelance contractors. The wealth of features provided by the service make for a complete project management and collaboration solution.
