ActiveCollab Reviews & Product Details

Very nice to get good team collaboration! Can use billing custumers too and love to know that our custumers can go in that software to give order too with custom pricing.

need more fonction to custumize our report!

better communication and tracking on project. Can track work time on projet too and that's really nice.

I am able to remember tasks easily thanks to the tagging feature. I get emailed every time someone assigns a task to me.

Sometimes I do not get emails unless I am specifically assigned to the project even though I am a member of the project.

Everyday problems that I face in my advertising career. With ActiveCollab I can easily chat with my team and get updates on where we stand on every task. Everything is very organized.

It has the sophistication we need and remains very easy to use. I've tried nearly every other project management software out there, and this one makes the most sense to me. It allows us to effectively collaborate with clients, and it gives us complete control over what can be seen and accessed. We use it for time tracking as well. It connects with a number of other services including Quickbooks. They really seem to listen to their users. I've asked for things and have seen them implemented. Overall, it's a great solution for us, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to better manage their projects.

I'd like a little more flexibility in the license levels. It would be nice to pay by the user when we need extra users rather than have to bump up to a level that many more users than we currently need.

More efficient project management. More time spent on work, less time searching for files or waiting on emails.

I'm obsessed with ActiveCollab. My company (20+ people) lives on this platform daily. We use it for EVERYTHING. Probably the best part about it is the ability to search through tasks. Current and past. It's really easy to figure out anything at any point.

Sometimes they have bugs, not often, but when they do their support team is quick and fixes it right away.

We are organized. We prioritize things now. A/C is REALLY good at prioritizing with their drag and drop functionality. You just move tasks around, create deadlines, etc.

- interface is slick and intuitive - notifications - organization of tasks it more intuitive than with other software

- They had a software you could install on your own server. We had trouble installing it a couple of times. If you use the cloud version, this should not be an issue

I have been working with aC for 7 years now and am very satisfied. We feel like it is just a fair deal. They don't lock you into a pricey model and it has all the functionality of a good PM system. I use it for my next businesses as well

The simplicity of the UX, it means that even the most technophobic of clients can easily utilize a project management system to closely collaborate with us.

Removal of the ability to change the colors that was present in the previous major version. Waiting on a native desktop app currently so that we can access information whilst offline on our laptops and tablets, like we can with our smartphones. Not a fan of Elastic Search as it's another thing to run. Without it, your search functionality doesn't work.

We needed to manage dozens of projects simultaneously with complex requirements, and many people involved. We now get things done faster and have no communication issues.

We migrated to Active Collab abount 2 months ago after attempting to work with Basecamp, Trello, and NutCache. The combination of project management, team+client collaboration, time tracking, expense tracking, and project templates, API, and accounting add-on integrations made this hard to beat. The UX is also the best that we've come across.

We haven't found anything significant that we would improve about it so far. The integration could be tighter more extensive with platforms like Xero, but its more than other providers are doing, and the API makes up for it.

This is allowing us to manage software, mobile, and web application development projects with team of developers which very mixed experience. The ability to create templates has been invaluable. Permission management, and client or client+ users has been really helpful. Tracking time and expenses, project goals, tasks, and deadlines has been invaluable. The platform is really well thought and UX is WAY better than everything else we've tried. The mobile app could use some work but its on its way.

retainer-based clients where they are paying a fixed monthly fee for our services.

when user change devices, or reinstall, recovery password is complicate

I would recommend Active Collab to any agency looking for a good overall project management tool.

Customer support has helped me and my team to organise several projects at once. Everybody loves to work with the tool and I am more than happy that I have found it. If I have an issue, the AC team gets back to me immediately. Thank you!

There is nothing I dislike. However, it would be nice if we could like and celebrate comments ;)

Customer service

Very robust tool with lots of features that are very easy to use, unlike many other PM tools we've previously used. Extremely simple, yet it has lots of great options that streamline our projects perfectly.

Not actually a dislike, but we've heard they're working on custom project templates. Can't wait to see how that's going to look.

Fantastic for controlling the workload on projects, I can see how the tasks are handled, who are my top performers, and where we are every step of the way.
