Hi Alexander! No, I haven’t really commented on collaboration, but of course it’s a major factor in Pagico’s new desirability. We’ve only just started using it in anger, so I won’t pretend to be an expert, but here’s a brief summary of our experience so far:
The big improvement is in synchronisation. Previously, even personal workspaces could be a bit slow to sync - but that’s all changed. I’m finding synchronisation - especially with the new version of the mobile app, which used to be very iffy - is vastly improved. Inviting people to join workspaces is exceedingly easy, but what I also like is that you can specify exactly what you do and don’t want to share.
Also excellent is the off-line support - so Pagico syncs thoroughly to your machine, meaning you can work off-line for hours or days, then automatically re-sync when you rejoin the workspace. There’a also a rather nice “Teamwork” mode, which allows you to focus on tasks you’re involved in or have delegated to other people, but blocks out all the other tasks that might otherwise take up too much screen space.
My only criticism? As far as I can tell, it’s not possible to isolate small groups of users in a workspace, i.e. create subgroups of users with separate authorisations. To do that, you’d have to create multiple workspaces, each of which will cost you. Having said that, you can share stuff with others through your own private workspace (if you trust them sufficiently). You can easily decide which projects should synchronise with which workspace (or indeed, which projects you don’t want to synchronise at all). It’s not expensive to create a small team workspace (for up to 16 participants), and they do offer volume discounts!
Pagico has been talking about support for subgroups, so it would appear to be on the roadmap.
I hope that’s helpful. I’ll get back to you if anything else occurs to me.
Cheers,
Bill

Oh, and just to clarify on the subgroups thing (not desperately important for our small company, because in scheduling terms we tend to share everything, or else handle our own stuff via personal workspaces), here’s a response to my explicit question about subgroups from Kyo, one of the developers (always very helpful). He basically confirms what I thought:
“Actually, workspaces cannot be nested so you can’t really create subgroups. However, what you can do is to use multiple workspaces, one for maybe the administrative members, and one for everyone. This way you can selectively share items in the core group and others in the everyone group. Since each project/contact can be shared in more than one workspace, you have the flexibility to selectively share items with the designated teams. To clarify, everyone in the same workspace will have the same access to all the shared items. So you’ll want to put people in the right workspace to achieve the selective share need that you described.”
It’s worth noting the fact that projects/contacts can be shared over multiple workspaces, something I forgot to mention earlier!
Cheers,
Bill

Being a huge fan of Gantt charts , I remember testing it extensively last year, and was dismayed by the shocking amount of bugs, some of them pretty obvious. To the developper’s credit, they were very reactive when I reported them, and fixed quite a few of them in a matter of weeks/days. But there were some usability issues and the whole thing felt awkward in many places, so I gave up on it and I stayed with the combination of tools I was using. Thanks for reminding me about it. I’ll give it another shot soon.
