June 08, 2012 | Author: Adam Levine
Freemium scheme is becoming more and more popular in the Enterprise 2.0 space. Two more popular SaaS services Socialcast and Wrike - have released the free versions with wide feature set. Socialcast - is the service for building corporate social networks, which is owned by VMWare. Unlike its main competitors (Chatter and Yammer), which offer free versions for unlimited number of users, but with limited functionality, Socialcast is offering free subscription for up to 50 users, but without any functional limitations. The main advantage of this offering is the high level of security and administrative tools.
Wrike - is a popular online project management tool. The free version of Wrike will be attractive for small businesses and workgroups. It is designed for 5 users, that can create and assign tasks and unlimited number of collaborators that may participate in the teamwork (for example, it may be clients or freelancers). Note that the free version (unlike the paid) doesn't include Gantt Chart and time-tracker.
