The inventory equipment of Vtiger and VTE is the same. Available modules are Products, Services, Pricebooks, they manage product bundles and stock quantities. The document part, both systems manage file upload and external links ordered into folders. Only VTE allows me to send a download link via email, sharing a document outside the CRM. Neither supports a connection with third-party service such as Dropbox.
Sugar provides only the Documents module for uploading and external linking.

*accessible only from inside the project, not as independent module

Projects are managed in the same way on VTE and Vtiger, involving Projects, Task and Milestone modules, with possible relationship with Tickets too. The gantt chart is also available. The only difference is that, in VTE, I can access Task and Milestone modules independently (as any other modue), while in Vtiger they are part of the project and accessible only from inside. The functions, however, are the same.
Sugar provides only Projects and Tasks with less options.
