The world's most powerful open source asset management tool
TACTIC helps companies of any size speed the way they make, move, store and share digital data.
Today’s companies are incredibly good at creating mountains of digital files (content, assets or data), yet many lack.
Phraseanet is a Digital Asset Management system (DAM for short) targeting the professionals needs. It’s created and maintained by the french company Alchemy.
Collobox is a file sharing and collaboration platform that you can share your files with your customers, employees, partners, vendors, etc with fine access control and security in place.
ResourceSpace is an open source Digital Asset Management system originally developed for Oxfam by UK company Montala Limited in 2006. Montala continue to manage the project in addition to providing commercial hosting, support and development services relating to the software.
No task management, just asset catalogs.

I like Collobox as an alternative to Shotgun becuse it's simplified design, project file sharing and versioning.
