• Reason the product was selected
Reviews were very positive and the demo and interface appeared very clean and user friendly.
• Brief description of the software, including cost: Discuss the possibility of integrating with other software being recommended
Samepage Pro-is $10 per month and offers unlimited team collaboration with administrative controls, unlimited pages and storage, permissions manager, user and activity insights, external calendar integration and priority support. Integration with other software is not possible although various non-software-based projects can be brought into Samepage; this is a drawback
• Advantages and disadvantages of using the software
The software acts similarly to Dot Loop and allows multiple users to share content and work on a single site instead of having to resort to email and risk someone being left out of the loop. Drawbacks are it does not include a private chat at the time but this drawback has been brought to the attention of Samepage and it may be added in the future
• Information about the vendor:
How long have they been in business? Since 2013
How large are they in terms of number of employees, revenues, and so on? The company is global and has been identified by Aragon Research as a 2015 Hot Vendor. It is currently seeking a Senior Product Designer in San Jose, a Senior UX Designer in the Czech Republic and a Backend Developer in Poland. The company is small but extensive for an up-and-coming. Their revenues are not in the same ballpark as Google or Office 365, both of which have their own collaborative software (Google Docs is one, for example). Is the vendor likely to be around in ten, fifteen years? Possbily not, so that is one reason to not go the way of Samepage and to stick
What is their reputation?
Don't Hate the Geek website list Samepage as the finest collaboration software on the market today. TechRepublic notes that it is exceptionally easy to use and suggests that its only flaw is its "vanilla" packaging. User reviews have been effusive with all sorts of different users giving high ratings, from ad marketing campaign managers, who state that "Samepage allows us to put it all on the same page (I love that) and organize it how you please," to users of the app who can bring people into projects on their mobile phone devices (Capterra Samepage, 2015).

• Product selected
• Reason the product was selected
• Brief description of the software, including cost:
Cost: $200 for PC Download, $10 per month (subscription-based software); from Intuit or Quickbooks, the price is substantially higher ($400) so it is best to look for a deal such as that on Amazon.
Discuss the possibility of integrating with other software being recommended: There is no real need for integration with any other software as QuickBooks is whole and integrated on its own and works as a standalone product.
• Advantages and disadvantages of using the software
QuickBooks is widely regarded as the best and easiest financial accounting tool. I have personally used it and can recommend it for its intuitive processes. The application is clear, intuitive and simple, with easily accessible shortcuts that give visual flowcharts of every accounting need, from transactions related to vendors to customers, employees, and banking. This version also makes it easy to fix accounting errors and to reclassify transactions. It works with Windows 10, 7, and Vista and there is the option for Mac users as well, but you have to choose one or the other. The software is available for purchase through Intuit for as much as $499 per year. However, other retailers offer the program for less if one is looking to shop around.
This software did include a tutorial, which consisted of video guides, offering a basic tour of the software. The video guide was helpful, but the application is already very user friendly so many of the processes are intuitive and not difficult to understand. The Home Page is set to a perfectly comprehensible flow chart, with icons and titles (such as Purchase Orders, Receive Inventory, Enter Bills, Pay Bills) that the user can click, which will bring up a new window into which the required information can easily be entered, So while there are many different flavors of QuickBooks (Nelson, 2012), I prefer...
