That's pretty much my way of thinking - and it's okay to disagree with me. Every single company that I said I didn't choose based on the "Deal Killer" could write in and say, "he could have at least given it a try" but the truth is that I have to work lol. I don't have six days to review every possible PM software package under $500 for two years for 5 users. I picked 6-8 good ones, ran them through what I wanted, and that's that. In the end it's just the mindset that something I pay for is more secure, better, and will grow more with my company than something I got for free. Right or wrong, it's just my way of thinking for this particular "quest."

That's a downside to be sure but honestly - on a budget, what software package out there does PM, help desk software, and website management? None. Zero. Okay - what software does PM + help desk on a budget? None. Zero. I suppose I could write my own but then what's the point when I can spend $10 a month and just remember a few urls/logins? As we grow it will be a challenge though to manage/migrate - but that's for another day :)
