What can you use the application for?
Onstage Portal makes it easy to manage group projects and collaboration. With OnStagePortal you can easily share documents with colleagues, keep an eye on the changes, book appointments, assign tasks to certain people, and monitor the progress of certain projects. OnStage Portal makes it easy to put your customer first and make sure that they are completely satisfied. There are two versions of the software available, a free version with adverts, or a reasonably priced option without the adverts. Software is incorporated to make it easy to read attached documents without having to open them in external software.
What is the history and popularity of the application?
OnStagePortal was created by Chmura, a company which has been around since 1999. The software itself was launched in 2007 and ever since then it has been available to the public. The company has been using the software internally since 2005, so it’s a tried and tested piece of software that has stood the test of time.
What are the differences to other applications?
There are dozens of online collaboration tools available, but OnStagePortal is different to all of these. It has a fresh, clean and interesting look which makes it good fun to use. It’s got the balance just right between powerful features and simple interfaces which don’t overcomplicate the issue. Unlike many other systems OnStagePortal is completely maintenance free, you shouldn’t have to ask your IT department when anything goes wrong, and you certainly can’t expect your customers to do the same thing. OnStagePortal is a very useful application.
How does the application look and feel to use?
OnStagePortal has a very modern, sleek and interesting design which makes it very easy to control and use. There are some very useful features built into the software, including reply by email, multiple file uploads, and sophisticated collaboration functions. OnStagePortal have managed to take something that is quite complex and make it much simpler and easier to understand.
How does the registration process work?
Registering for an account on OnStagePortal just involves filling out a form, this is slightly more in-depth than you might be familiar with, as you will have to enter your postal address, company name, and time zone along with the usual information. Once you fill out that form you will have a free account, you can upgrade at any time to one of the paid subscriptions if you like, but the free edition will allow you to try out the functions and find out whether you will be able to benefit from them or not.
What does it cost to use the application?
When you first sign up to OnStagePortal you will register a free account, this is not time limited and can be used for as long as you want. However the free version does have adverts supporting it and a limit of 750MB of storage. The paid subscriptions start at $10 a month for the basic plan, this includes the same amount of storage but without the adverts. The Lite plan allows up to 20 active projects and 3GB of storage for $20 per month. Full has 35 active projects and 8GB of storage for $44 per month, The top of the range package is Ultimate which comes with an unlimited number of active projects, and 60GB of storage for $135 per month. You can upgrade at any time using your credit or debit card. When you upgrade you will get the benefits of SSL encryption and removing the adverts from the site.
Who would you recommend the application to?
OnStagePortal is a fantastic business tool for any business that is looking for a way to effectively manage its employees and make sure that customers are satisfied. Tasks can be assigned and reassigned to make sure that they actually get done, and don’t get forgotten about.

I appreciate the review. You didn't really address any shortcomings of the system. What stopped you from giving it 5 stars?

I'm currently evaluating a collaboration tool for an NGO. OnStage looks nice but unfinished. And it's unclear whether the company is still developing it. Facebook, twitter and company blog posts are all more than a year old.
