FinancialForce PSA offers a cloud based solution that looks to control projects, resources and customers in one product by leveraging on its close integration with Salesforce.com. It does this by utilizing the Force.com app development platform to deploy applications quickly, provide social collaboration features through the Chatter social network, and allow mobile access as well.

In addition FinancialForce PSA gives its customers a real time view of project billing so that revenue is recognized based on milestone & project completion. This allows for better cost control, increased revenue realization and improved project profitability.

In comparison Unanet also supports CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) as well as DCAA Compliance which is an important differentiator. Additionally Unanet has open integration with a variety of Accounting, Payroll and CRM systems including Salesforce.com and is not limited to any one product as is the case with FinancialForce. However Unanet does not support a social network for social collaboration features.

Hydra PSA on the other hand focuses on combining Project Management, Portfolio Management, Business Process Management and Knowledge Management in one product. It also has a unique Blueprint feature which allows the setup of project best practices which can be repeated and improved with each additional project. This ensures a greater success rate for future project delivery.

Unanet on the other hand focuses only on Project Management, and is offered with both an on premise solution as well as a cloud based solution. Hydra PSA currently is only provided with a cloud based solution and is better suited for larger services companies that are looking for more comprehensive features.
