ActiveCollab Software

Pros

It is easy to use and you can organize your remote team very easy. It has all you need in one place.

Cons

I don't have complains. It is easy to use and I have all I need with it. Would recommend it to those who need PMT that is not hard to learn how to work with.

Pros

- Simplicity
- Customization
- Labels for tasks
- 3 different views (list, Kanban, Gantt)
- Different languages for the user, eg English, French, German: it's very important that the language feet the one of the user

Cons

- Currently no URL when filtering per label
- Detail panel of a task: should be bigger
- Project Template should be easier to create

It saves tons of my time, better organization and communication with team members.

Pros

Easy to use, logical, easy for communication with other team members, history of communication and project history works perfectly for me.

Cons

I don't have anything special to state as bad sides. Maybe that it could be free but that is not realistic. It is anyhow cheaper than competition.

Inexpensive project management without complicated entry.

Pros

Ease of use. Our team is effectively able to enter in new projects, update projects and tasks, with minimal effort. The reporting is very good and the canned reports are all we've needed.

Cons

Would like more Agile possibilities. Would also like an iOS app for Apple computers and a better iPhone app.

Pros

Having a spot where everything lives is great! Being able to track hours within the project management app is a real plus!

Cons

The ActiveCollab calendar is not well developed. Having calendar items tied to tasks is not intuitive nor useful.

Pros

the ability to track hours and project management is great. the interface is simple enough, our clients are able to easily navigate the program .

Cons

to utilize the incredible calendar feature - everything is tied to the task function. active collab is built to function as your one-stop shop for all project management, billing, hour tracking, calendar management, etc. we don't need all of those features for our company - so it would be great to just plug events on the calendar without creating/assigning tasks.

Pros

That I can assign tasks easily to the right people to get things done that are out of my range of skill. I really enjoy how easy it is to attach pictures and files to the tasks so they can see what I am talking about. Sometimes words are not enough.

Cons

I have not really found a con to this plateform just yet, but I am sure that the more we use it something might reveal itself.

Pros

Keeping track of what everyone else is working on, as well as my own workload. This has seriously helped our team leader maximize efficiency.

Cons

It was a bit of a learning curve to figure out how to make this software work best for my personal needs.

Pros

I like everything about it. I love How we can all work as a team and collaborate. It's very easy to use and tasks remain organized and on schedule!

Cons

That I didn't find it a long time ago. I do Not have any complaints regarding this service and I am Very thankful we are using it.

Better organized and team clarity.

Pros

The ability to switch between list, card and Gantt chart views let individual team members the ability to work in a way that they prefer, and helps us plan the workload effectively.

Cons

Creating project templates is laborious - it would be great to be able to duplicate /move tasks and sub tasks to new templates more easily.

Clarity, customization, increased efficiency

Pros

The ability to easily change workflow and/or views within each project is fantastic. See your projects from all angles.

Cons

When a task is marked as "complete," it disappears, along with all the comments attached to it. Would be better if tasks were crossed out (or grayed out) to keep things visual.

Task management

Pros

My favorite part of this software is the ability to keep my tasks organized. I like the satisfaction of being able to check off when I finish a project.

Cons

I dislike the I can't prioritize subtasks. If I was able to do that, it would be easier to keep my daily tasks in order

Pros

- Great design
- Loads of functions and simple to use
- Calendar and planning functions
- Custom invoice design

Cons

- Should be cheaper, especially the self-hosted version
- Clients should not be included in the number of members

Pros

The tools is pretty simple to setup and learn. It offers a ton of different features to fit most companies' needs

Cons

Collaboration is very competitive and many other companies are including them at no cost. While the cost for Active Collab is low, you may already have similar tools included with other cloud services

Mostly useful for me to track projects and easy to mention and assign projects and different tasks in the same projects, easy to put time in mobile app too and even if im outside of office it is easy to track my works

Cons

Need to imporove scroll options if thae task list is more than 20, it will be better to improve this section and moreover good

fairly easy email marketing campaigns

Pros

quick sign up, quick import of lists, able to get up and running easily. analytics are pretty good as well.

Cons

the more advanced and complicated campaigns weren't so easy to set up - i ended up getting someone who was skilled in this to do it for me.

Pros

The number of features ActiveCollab has feels endless! Powerful and simple, this well designed program has taken our project management to the next level in terms of organization and collaboration. Being that ActiveCollab is cloud based, we can have access to our projects any day, time, or location.

Cons

ActiveCollab is probably not a great solution for small businesses due to the higher cost. ActiveCollab also in our opinion has limited multiproject vision.

Pros

active collab is a good app for team project management with synchronization in the cloud from a server.
provides a lot of tools, such as: task management, collaboration between the team, real-time monitoring ... where we can maintain a project in a very organized with a list of tasks.
and among its tools, the ones that stand out most in this application are the invoices. It allows to issue invoices easily for the work that is being developed and thus save time and receive payments in a better way.

Cons

We can obtain this application with monthly plans that adapt to the work to be developed. but it depends the plan that is contracted could be costly for the project

Pros

We've been using ActiveCollab since version 1. We needed more features and flexibility than other project management systems provided and we also were looking for an invoicing system. ActiveCollab provided all of that in one package and we could buy a license to run on our own server instead of paying monthly fees. This pricing model was very attractive for us along with the extra features to make the system fit our project management workflow, made ActiveCollab an easy choice.

Cons

The mobile app isn't the best. For those who heavily rely on using their project management system on mobile, this might be something to consider. I'm not a fan of the themes in the theme option, but if using the self hosted version, then you could potentially adjust styling to fit your business better.

Pros

A pretty straightforward project management system with handy communication tools, easy collaboration, and a pretty simple interface.

Cons

The terminology was a bit confusing, and the UI themes left a bit to be desired. Functionally, everything was passable, but didn't knock my socks off.
