It's much more convenient, when your information is secured professionally. I use Wrike.com and they offer great security for my projects http://www.wrike.com/blog/10/15/2007/Security_of_your_data_in_Wrike. As for Intervals, the tool doesn't look serious enough for me to make me switch from Wrike. I do like web-based software, cause I don’t trust my server enough to store all the data on it.

Personnally, I tend to prefer, for security and confidentiality reasons, non-hosted solutions, that you can upload on your own server, such as activecollab for instance : http://www.activecollab.com/ A nice free hosted solutions, with a bit less features, is GoPlan : http://goplan.org/ A nice feature-packed web service.

Without entering time, the task management feature seems pretty limited. Though, since their focus is on time, it is also on dollars. If used on it's own it would be a great tool to keep track of tasks. I would hope they would offer a way to invoice customers, otherwise you'll be double entering your information. With Basecamp, however, time entering is a feature, and a nice one, but not the central feature. So, if project management is your bag, then choose Basecamp hands down. If time management is more your thing, Intervals will deliver over and above what Basecamp can, though be prepared to double enter some information to get your invoicing to your clients.

Remember though, Basecamp is run by a philosophy of "simple is better." So feature for feature, its not that hard to beat Basecamp. But for sheer interface, stability, and really well thought through features, Basecamp cannot be beat. Josh What about ZOHO Projects? http://projects.zoho.com/jsp/home.jsp
