Reports in ProofHub are heavy on graphics, which I liked. Admins can see an
overview of all projects and the status of each one, how many projects are

automatically adjusting deadlines of future tasks when earlier deadlines slip.
While Zoho Projects keeps its prices lower than ProofHub, and Teamwork is the
tiniest bit easier to use, ProofHub measures up to those competitors in nearly
