You might want to check out some solutions which integrate tools which cater to more than one category. For example the HyperOffice Collaboration Software integrates project management, web conferencing and web databases.

For audio and web conferencing, you could even consider RHUB's 4-in-1 appliance that provides secure web conferencing, remote support, remote access and webinar. They even offer free audio conferencing.

I would add TrackRay to the list - it is free web based task tracking and project management solution. Our health agency has been using it for more than a year now.

We have lots of scriptlogic products in our environment that really simplify many things.

Their active administrator provides a good way for advanced active directory management.

As for desktop management their desktop authority works well to eliminate group policies and handwritten logon scripts.

Dimdim sure looks promising while there's a bunch there that established it's rep already.

Looking forward to more open source apps! Hopefully, on open source platforms, too!

Best.

dimdim, heh, worthless. After multiple attempts with customers to use this product, I gave up and emailed support. They never returned the email. Armed with an upset customer and my disgust in my hip pocket I called support to no avail.

I vowed at that point to turn all I could away from this horrible solution. Still no call back from support btw. hrmph!

Our company has a help desk software tool called HelpSpot that you may also want to check out. Much more affordable than the enterprise stuff. We also sponsor the open source help desk list which you mention in your article.

John

First of all, thank you for listing http://opencrm.co.uk on your site, it is very kind of you and we really do appreciate your support.

However, I really don't get some of the people who are commenting on your articles, what planet are they on?

I can say, 100%, that we have not previously communicated with John and therefore, there is no financial reason for us to get a mention, so to suggest (granted with reference to another product in Johns list), that articles contain links that have been 'bought' is both ridiculous and insulting. As a previous poster put so delicately 'dial it down a little'.

Anyway, good luck with your social networking and industry commenting, have a great 2009.

"Alfresco starts at $24,000 a year on a subscription model. Doesn't seem that cheap to me. The community edition is a completely unsupported alpha testing ground.

Are there any more practical document management alternatives out there?"

Alfresco Labs is Unsupported, but it is a very solid piece of software to manage files. I can https upload a 2GB file with no problems, try that with Idontcarepoint or with any other document mgmt software, it'll crash and whine.

webdav, https, cifs, ftp, sharepoint protocol, multitenancy, etc, etc. It has a lot of features.

Decent list but there are obvious omissions and such as others have already mentioned several times and what I really wish you didn't do was include non-free/ open-source products in your list (Jira, vBullitin, etc), especially when there are even better free options (phpBB, RT, Nagios, etc). If this is a list of open source projects. It shouldn't have items that aren't fully open source in it. It might seem like I'm being picky to some but it's a valid point, notwithstanding.

Excellent list. For anyone that doesn't think Open Source is ready for the enterprise - some additional reading:

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10118123-16.html

For some additional apps:

Email/Exchange: Zimbra (www.zimbra.com - a Yahoo company) awesome email server with phenomenal AJAX based web mail - shared calendars, contacts lists, to do lists, web based jabber instant messaging, etc.

Corporate firewalls: pfSense (www.pfsense.org - FreeBSD based) and eBox Platform (www.ebox-platform.com) in addition to the already mentioned Untangle -- all good for multi-zone firewalls and multi-site client and site to site VPNs

For a great combination groupware and cms try TikiWiki (www.tikiwiki.org) - tons of excellent features - enable just the ones you want - http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Features - have implemented this one at dozens of sites

For network monitoring: Open Source Security Information Management (OSSIM) - www.ossim.net - combines many open source network security apps with an excellent web based dashboard for network security situational awareness

For secure instant messaging: OpenFire (http://www.igniterealtime.org/projects/openfire/) - full featured jabber server with awesome web based management

All of the above have been implemented in federal government organizations.

2008-12-12T12:42:00.000-05:00

For project management in the enterprise and open source, my vote is for dotProject. www.dotproject.net
