PRODUCTIVITY IS WORTH MORE THAN PRICE

It’s important to remember that the price it costs to efficiently manage a project is always worth the monetary cost — what’s most important is which project management software fits the needs of your business the best. Even if we haven’t mentioned it here, if you feel another project management software is good for your organization, go with it — productivity is always more important than price.
