"Acello works for us"
What do you like best about Accelo?

The way that Accelo seems to have thought of the best way to have the software follow the normal path of business and the integrations that are available and how they work together, keeping the stream of communications in one place and having the project started with the quoting process is a good way to help keep things organized and keeps the flow of information flowing nicely.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

So far, the only thing that I would like better is a little better documentation so as I start to use more of the software, there is a little better understanding of how it is set up. I would also like to be able to do some custom reports, but I hear that it might be coming in the future.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accelo is keeping the client information organized, allowing sales quotes to go out easily and receiving payments has worked well. It is also kept us in looking at potential client jobs organized and keeping us from over booking our staff.

"Powerful tool, tells me everything I have to do at work."
What do you like best about Accelo?

The numerous customizing options available. The response time is quite quick. Once everything is in place, your firm will perform admirably, from the initial encounter with a client through quoting, selling, and administration. When my team members leave on vacation, I can keep track of their emails and answer on their behalf. It has also kept me from overlooking follow-ups. Because of how we've built the triggers, it just won't allow it to happen. Simple rules like 'if no incoming or outgoing communication has been received for 4 days, create a task' have transformed how I manage accounts and prioritize my own memory.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

It might take hours to figure out how to properly tailor it to your needs. I would have loved to see something added. The smartphone app requires significant improvement. It's the one thing my prior provider performed better, and I've seen far better from the competitors. I'm hoping they'll alter it shortly. I also wish the tablet browser experience was more fluid. I'd want to be able to utilize Accelo on an iPad without an additional mouse.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a tool for almost everything, and everything related to client communication has been streamlined. Money was saved without missing billing, and it was easy to assess how much time was spent on tickets. I used to have to use three tools when opening a new client, but now I only use this one. My churn appears to be reduced as well, given that I can better track touchpoints. Accelo enables me to appear extremely proactive to my consumers, ensures we're hitting all of the right contact points, and reduces the need for me to control my personal calendar.

"A great tool for project insights and organization"
What do you like best about Accelo?

The task organization and company overview are my favorite features!

What do you dislike about Accelo?

The only downfall for us is not being able to have multiple ppl on one task.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Project management and seeing everything in one spot have been super helpful.

"Accelo – Excellent Project management platform"
What do you like best about Accelo?

We have been using Accelo for the last few years now and we saw a speedy recovery in the project management and task management within our department. We are a company that usually works with other clients and giving them the whole brief after and during the project is what we needed the most and Accelo surely provides us with every detail once we configure the project with its client portal.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

The search function is not what we like or are highly satisfied with. Documents need time and patience but that’s not always the scenario and in a fast-paced work environment we need something efficient and extremely fast in this regard.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accelo provides us plenty of benefits that we avail ourselves of each and every day. We can assign and track tasks and their status. We have customizable dashboards and the workflow automation here is just incredible. Being a project manager, management was the most difficult task but now I have everything under control with this powerful project management platform.

"Accelo, Great time management!"
What do you like best about Accelo?

Accelo helps us to keep our teams aligned and organized as they auto-update our clients in one place. They help us to manage multiple services at one place and platform without having to search separately for them on different platforms. Its reports with their organized and advanced features. Creating the schedules for every sort of task is very easy with Accelo.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Sometimes creating schedules for our projects is very difficult with Accelo as sometimes they did not respond quickly and on time. It is also really difficult to link one scope with other and have to go through complex procedures if we want to link different scopes with each other. Accelo is a very challenging task.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accelo provides us with multiple management services that are easy to use. They provide us with accurate presentation solutions. We can easily create reports and documents. It is a complete end-to-end project management solution.

"Accelo is just what we needed for our projects"
What do you like best about Accelo?

I like its adaptability, as it allows us to customize many aspects of the program such as invoices, branding, reports and templates for marketing campaigns. It has a whole invoicing module, where we can create and customize invoices, calculate taxes, online invoicing and integrate our Xero software to have everything in one place. It allows the creation, assignment and tracking of activities to team members easily and we can follow the progress of each task and its time in real time through the Gantt chart.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Having so many features and tools, it was a bit difficult for all the work teams involved to quickly adapt to the program. If it had a module to manage personnel and payroll, it would be the perfect software. The software configuration and migration took us a lot of time and effort, I would have liked the process to be simpler and more automatic, after the technical help and tutorials received, but it was not.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Accelo to keep up to date all the important aspects of the project, from assigning tasks to the work team, to invoicing the project. I like this software because we can keep track of our contacts and clients, each one with their notes, invoices, payments and all the work we have pending with each client, plus many more functions. It has important integrations with software such as Xero, Salesforce sales cloud, PayPal, MailChimp, social networks and many more, for the best development of projects. A cloud-based platform that allows access to it all the time, with internet connection. It allows access not only in its web version, but also in mobile devices such as Android, iPad, iPhone. The client has a portal where you can log in 24 hours a day to monitor the progress of your project.

"Just Getting Started"
What do you like best about Accelo?

The navigation is powerful and relatively intuitive. I feel like I'm learning fast and enjoying the process.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Its navigation offers many different routes and some are better than others. And some views have important required activities that are almost hidden.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Improved transparency around capacity and productivity. Everything our team does will be visible to the people who need to manage and lead our teams.

"Excellent onboarding experience...off to a great start!"
What do you like best about Accelo?

Intuitive and easy to use. Nice GUI. The onboarding experience was excellent. Supportive staff.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Nothing yet. We've been using for 3 months and haven't had any issues that remain unresolved. There were one or two areas that were a little confusing when it came to setting up custom fields but these were clarified quickly.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to improve our pipeline reporting and visibility across the sales team. This was achieved quickly. On top of this we have benefited from the task management functions and the ease customers and prospects can have activities added and updated.

"A Resourceful Boost on Project Management."
What do you like best about Accelo?

Using Accelo is a fantastic; I fancy the intuitive user interface and the function-rich dashboard; it's so easy to trace a feature ( the common ones you use). Project managers have an easy time tracking tasks and monitoring the team's progress. Accelo has improved our team-cordination. The marketing team also experiences better invoice interactions, and they need little assistance from the IT team from the moment we configure them into the system.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Accelo somehow lacks a strong programming base; adaptation and machine learning ability are a bit clunky. More improvements could be made on aspects such as inquiry elements (speed-wise) and the search criteria overall.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have in our hands a centralized platform to manage our schedules at peak productivity. Accelo has nice templates that help us have some degree of uniformity and standardization company-wide. We can also monitor running projects in real-time, which improves your general project management capabilities.

"Project management"
What do you like best about Accelo?

Accelo project plan makes it easy for the consultants to implement the services required by our clients. Clients are up to date as to where we are with the implementation of their program. Outcomestasks that are loaded ensures that you do not miss a follow-up or deadline.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Somebody can manually add time to a project or double time without flagging people. Can I suggest a report on manual time added?

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

The managers in the regions are keeping their fingers on the pulse for each project loaded, and I can get an overall picture of the company's performance. Managing clients and contacts with the stream of communication make it easy to follow a trail when needed.

"Excellent timekeeping tools, expansive API for customizations, glad to have chosen this solution"
What do you like best about Accelo?

The best feature for us is the rich API. We have been able to deeply customize Accelo to integrate with our myriad of other business tools.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

Accelo's advanced reporting features come at a premium and don't account for hours our offices are closed, so we can't use it for accurate response time reporting.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accelo provides a solid ticketing system, project tracking, and billing/invoicing. The system is easier to train new employees to use than competitors.

"Intuitive Design"
What do you like best about Accelo?

Just like any other software, Accelo may appear a bit complicated at first glance. Accelo is designed in a way that often you can use your intuition to find a feature/function that you are looking for. Accelo's Support team is beneficial and fast to respond in case you have any questions or issues.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

I have been using Accelo every day for about a year now, and I really can't think of anything I dislike. However, if anything like this was encountered, I would contact their support with a suggestion to make it better.

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Accelo helps me keep track of all open tickets and puts all relevant email communications in one place. It is easy to keep track of everything like time logged, deadlines, etc.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

"Take your time onboarding and go team by team."
What do you like best about Accelo?

The integration of all parts of the business

What do you dislike about Accelo?

None of the resources online are up to date. The system is complex and requires ongoing learning. It is imperative they update their online learning platform and not rely on forums for clients to educate one another.

Our teams being on similar platforms and being well integrated.

"Good experience with some learning curve for beginner users"
What do you like best about Accelo?

The reports are great to know how time is utilized and how to allocate resources in order to optimize production. Also, time loggin is quite good, specially when working on timed projects.

What do you dislike about Accelo?

The UI might be overwhelming at times as there is too much information on the screen at times which might lead to confusion

What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We provide support to customers so, when troubleshooting issues, the time logging allows us to identify how much time is being spent on issue solving. Accelo has allowed us to identify blockers and improvements to the support process.
