I am a long time Axosoft OnTime user, but always looking for something better. :-)
I love your RAD kits, so I was hoping to love TeamPulse too. It is neat. I downloaded the eval and found some bugs but I assumed it would have an update schedule like your other products, so the bugs will be fixed. It is the features that are missing that trouble me. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I do not see any of the following items that seem essential:
Is this eventually going to be just a wrapper around TFS or a fully independent product? If it is just something to augment TFS, then I can see you leaving these things off because TFS should fill in the gaps, except for the Customer Portal, which doesn't fit into the domain controlled login scheme TeamPulse or TFS requires.
But if you do intend this to be a fully stand-alone product, you seriously need to think about these features. There is no way I am going to pay $250/person for this when I can pay the same for OnTime and get a much more evolved system with 5x the feature set.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I do not see any of the following items that seem essential:
- Reporting - You need to have some way to generate reports and export to Word or PDF. We're all accountable to somebody who pays our bills and they will not want to log in and look at the dashboard.
- Customer Portal - There needs to be a way for your user base to provide feedback about a product and easily transition those items into project items.
- Differentiating between fixes and features.
- Workflow.
- Per item note taking.
