Active collaboration helped us adding billable time for the project tasks. It helps adding billable or non billable option to the logged time against a task. Active collab also provided us custom reports and options to custmize the modules further with our own hosted version. The reports are simple enough to understand and helps us running the billing for the clients each month.
Active collab gets slower when there is a lot of data. We have enough data in the system and sometimes it gets slow on a specific custom coded modules.
We are using ActiveCollab to help our development team with adding the project tasks. team use Active Collab to log their time on a daily basis which are billed to the client at the end of every month. reports are helpful as data is allowed to be exported.

Deadline meets due to active colllab. time ealst tracked and we can track each and every employee and we can track every single empolyee that how much time he/ she spending in a particular project and its helps to evaluate the specific employee .
we can improve UI for activeCollab like drag and drop. like jira and other project management tool, there may be more filter for evolving progress of employee. There should be sprint planning section in active collab. there must be a story writing section which helps to track and manage project as well as time also.

Management of the team and projects
If you are looking for the best software for project management that integrates both clients and employees ActiveCollab is for you. Easy to use, straight forward user interface and even easier to setup and understand quickly for clients and your team. Clients are able to create tasks and respond and the team can pass tasks over to clients to complete as well.
The software is buggy right now so they have a lot to work out. However, it is still a superior project management software.
Keeping clients and the team on task has really been easy with activecollab. It has also helped keep communications in one -place especially when another members needs to respond or take over when the main project lead is out on vacation or sick. It is easy to just pick up from where another left off when all correspondence and tasks are in activecollab.
I love how agencies can make tasks, communicate task information, and clock time all in one spot.
I cannot think of anything I dislike about this platform.
Problems solved: one place for task/project management and storing important filed. Benefits: great tool, easy to use and understand, communicating with team members.
Activecollab is a great easy to use service that clients love and follow through post discussions with.

It has kept both the team and clients on track and has been able to show the progress bit bt bit.
My team swares off of ActiveCollab, it is the best way to keep organized and communicate with the client. It is important and required we keep all client correspondence in here because if ease of use and for any teammate to be able to pick up where the last left off if on leaves or vacations.
There are certain functionalities it should have but I believe they are working on it.

We use A/C for our entire task management for all of our clients. It works exactly like we need it to.
Honestly I have no complaints. It is designed very well and works perfectly for what need it to do.
complete task amangement solution. Recurring tasks, which we use all of the time.
Fast and convenient. The ability to clearly distribute tasks. There are elements for project management. Integration with dropbox.
You can not separate the subtasks. And you can not change the templates.
Work with projects and a clear division of responsibilities.
