5pm’s whole theme is centered around getting more things done – by 5pm (hence the name). Clever, and their website’s marketing nicely continues this theme. It’s one of the more polished sites of a project management software company out there.
According to the 5PM Website:
5pm can be your central location for project and task management, team collaboration, time tracking, reporting and more…
Features:
There are a TON of features in 5pm, and as such it really gives other Online Project Management Software a run for their money (see Basecamp). Here’s a short list of what I found to be the BEST features (some aren’t available on many other project mangement applications):
- Complete 2-Way Email Integration – Send/Receive messages, via email, that are logged to the system. Although many other systems do this, I like that they allow task/to-do creation through emails as well!
- Timeline - 5pm offers a very sweet, intuitive, Timeline. This is something that MANY project management systems are lacking, this is very helpful for tracking the progress of multiple to-dos and tasks across the entire lifetime of a project.

Interface:
I wish to evaluate this on two levels, 1st the web page, then the application. The internet site: the 5pm web page is really a bit cluttered, though it does match the look and feel with the program, and connotes a sense of playfulness, as does their copy as well as the rest with the branding (THEY EVEN Provide A FREE GAME TO KILL TIME!). Nonetheless clever, in my individual opinion the internet site is TOO unprofessional, while well carried out, and really cluttered making it challenging at greatest, and confusing at worst, to evaluate the application.
The application continues the theme in the web page, with bright colors, beveled edges, and intense graphics. Once more, production value is high, but in my private opinion it misses the mark. An unconventional side-tab menu at the left hand aspect helps you navigate by way of the main sections.

Pricing:
Pricing for 5pm is somewhat inline with other online package and SAAS project management software, however, at the high end of the packages the pricing seems to get skewed somewhat.
Pricing starts at: $18 for 5 users, 10 project, and 1 GB of Storage
