Whats Really Cool About Joyent

Tagging and Smart Groups

You can tag every email, file, calendar event and contact with keywords that are shared accross all applications. This not only makers for easy searching,  things with the same tags also form ‘smart groups’ – "A smart group is a dynamically-updated collection of items". Smart groups can be viewed from within each application (all emails related to ‘Our new website’), or even better, from the front page, you can create a smart view of everything with a particular keyword.

Joyent Moulds to fit you without adding optional extras. 

Software should really be the bare bones of capability that enables you use it in whatever way you like. Joyent doesn’t have a ‘meeting creator’, or a ‘resource booking system’, but combine the basic tools and tagging system and you have the flexibility to cover these aspects of running a business if you need them. "If a customer can’t use and extend the software to fit exactly her organization’s goals, we aren’t doing our job."

Joyent is based on Open Source Software

"Open-source software allows companies like Joyent to move quickly to provide our customers great solutions at amazing price points."

What’s Not So Cool 

No Free Trial 

I have come to expect a free trial for software, to get some good use and seeing if it’s really right for me. Although the $15/pm starting price won’t break the bank, considering the sheer number of options out there, all those $15 add up!
