Senior Project Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It allows me to manage all my projects and teams collaborated in one place. " January 29, 2018 5.0 Pros The fact that you can use it anywhere, even on your phone, and can take it anywhere you go, and are kept up to date with all projects at the same time. We also use the Estimates/Invoices a lot, and helps us keep track of payments. Cons The Reports section can be set up to have more detailed in depth reports, that can be exported to be mailed to management. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Chief Content Creator Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the best Work Management tools for small agencies" October 26, 2018 4.0 Their customer service team is phenomenal. Answers back immediately. Pros Interface is easy to use. Plus, depending on your needs and requirements, it touches a lot of them: time tracking, simplistic resource management, scheduling, task management, project conversations. Cons The schedule could use some love. Ideally would like to assign multiple people to tasks, as well as have tasks be dependent on one another so timing can be adjusted. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Useful as project manager tool" December 18, 2018 4.0 Pros Excellet tool for project collaboration, with good list of status, file sharing, time management and direct communication tools Cons The iOS app doesn't cover all the options offered by the desktop version and visualization on mobile devices is not always optimized Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Marketing Strategist Higher Education Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great collaboration" September 18, 2018 5.0 In the two months I have been using it, it is fantastic. Pros Really enjoy using Active Collab, a fast and easy way to stay on top of a multitude of projects within a large team. Efficient use of time. Cons The only glitch that is frustrating is when files will not upload and we have to email files through, this can lead to someone forgetting to upload later and not be able to access the files related to the project or the task. Review Source Miriam E. Dirección de arte y diseño UI/UX Internet Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use, projects under control" August 30, 2018 4.0 I have been using Active Collab in my organization as project management tool since May, and I have been using Trello and Freedcamp before. This is the most useful. Pros It's easy to use, has a friendly interface/user experience, lots of useful apps as complements (like timmer, slack, or desktop app). Also you can give acces to customers to see the progress of projects. Cons The thing I deal with is that tasks can't be assigned to two people. Review Source AD Alessandro D. Graphic Designer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Gets the job done." February 6, 2018 5.0 Pros Everything is in one place. Very easy to manage day to day tasks and long term projects. It's also very convenient that you can add the hours for a certain project/task. Cons The fact that I can't set deadlines to subtasks. I set up projects as tasks under headings such as "pamphlets", but under the specific task, I set up subtasks such as "get translation". It would be much more convenient to have deadlines for the subtasks as well as the main task (which currently exists) Review Source AV Andrés V. Graphic Designer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Keeping your projects and tasks organized" April 10, 2019 4.0 Pros What I like the most from ActiveCollab is how easy it is to use and keep my tasks organized. I'm not missing any deadline anymore. Cons It could be that I still don't know how to use it properly, but what I don't like about ActiveCollab is that I can't organize my tasks by due date. Review Source BW Ben W. Manager, Digital Strategy Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Active Collab enabled standardization of our ever-evolving workflow and made us better at our jobs." July 9, 2018 4.0 Pros Active Collab took us out of the stone age of project management and standardized our workflow so we could scale our business. Cons I wish there was dependency functionality between tasks. When a massive timeline has been built and things need to move a day, it's a lot of manual effort to keep things on track. Review Source MH Mike H. Lead Backend Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ActiveCollab is great team collaboration software" July 10, 2018 4.0 Pros ActiveCollab is pretty easy to set up and has a vast amount of features for you team to take advantage of for tracking issues in projects, managing time and more! Cons ActiveCollab has improved it's UI but it's still kind of clunky compared to other collaboration software. Review Source GS Gabor S. project manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use project management software" March 8, 2019 5.0 Pros ActiveCollab is pretty straight forward for our needs of project management. The price is reasonable and updates are released on a frequent basis. Cons The iOS app needs some update. They feel limited compared to the desktop app and the push notification didn't work. Review Source BS Babak S. CEO & Creative Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "it can be the pillar for every Designer team" January 26, 2018 5.0 we can review our projects & invoices super fast Pros Easy use good features brilliance support team the best performance with slow internet connections project process is perfect and every that we need is in it Cons report process it's a little hard doesn't support RTL languages the calendar is harder to another calendar like google cal. many problems with fastspring if in the AC corp. web site add some perfect and correct example for projects it can be better Review Source MB Moise B. Managing Director Cosmetics Used the software for: 2+ years ### "un traceur de temps remarquable" June 27, 2023 5.0 Pros ce logiciel m'a tellement servi en suivant et maitrisant la gestion de mes horaires Cons au départ ce n'était pas facile mais avec le temps j'ai aimé Review Source VA Valerie A. Programming Director Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The software is a good deal for the price. It allows us to keep track of projects and communicate." February 18, 2018 4.0 Pros \- ability to connect to Google docs, attach images and link to web pages - ability to set tasks - ability to communicate with team members about projects - note feature Cons \- the interface is a bit confusing--it would be nice to be able to reconfigure how project info is viewed (for example, we don't use tasks and discussions much, so I'd prefer to have the Notes tab visible without having to click on it after opening a project) - a lack of folders to contain information makes it hard to find things at times (we tend to use notes a lot, but then have trouble finding where the notes are... this may be due to user error, but it would be nice to have a list view of all notes instead of just the project titles) - the fact that individual Notes change position depending on when they were edited, makes it harder to find things - formatting in Notes is not very robust--difficult to correct formatting errors when copy-pasting text Review Source RW Rob W. Head of Post-Production Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Activecollab helps us stay organised" January 12, 2017 4.0 We use activecollab to manage all our projects between our studios in the U.K. and USA. It's enables us to work together smoothly and is so much easier than constant emailing. I love the ability to make our own tags to make it work for us. Pros Ability to customise tags. Cons Having to scroll to get multiple projects to load. Not being able to change tags from projects page but having to go into the project to edit. The licensing structure makes adding our next employee (number 16) a big price jump. Review Source Alex E. Developer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "ActiveCollab made it very easy to delegate tasks and input how long they took to complete." February 9, 2018 4.0 Pros I like the ease of use and attractiveness of the software. It is easy to see what task needs completing and to make comments about each task. Cons From my experience, there was no way of accumulating all the hours over all tasks I worked on. It would be nice to automatically be able to generate a sheet of all worked hours and total time each task took to complete. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer M.Sc Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Active Collab" March 8, 2019 5.0 Organization of our workers with tasks over more Projects. Pros Easy to use, and great overview of Tasks. Cons There are some functions that still needs to be implemented, like assigning more users to one task, and set that the task is completed without disappearing. Review Source MG Marco G. Key account and CFO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent overall experience" January 26, 2018 5.0 Pros It's quick and easy to use. It's available on premise, update are constantly prices and very safe to apply. Cons Lack of some gantt-like feature to ease integration with custom invoicing and accounting system. Lack of plugin system for integration. Kind of poor advanced report system Review Source KM Kali M. Graphic Designer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I use it exclusively for work and it's super helpful." January 26, 2018 4.0 Helpful messaging/file sharing and easier project management. Pros Threads are really good for us to organize our projects/conversations. Google Drive compatibility has been helpful as well. I like how customizable it is for each individual user Cons Mine tends to crash extremely frequently around the time updates become available. I have issues with my mobile app sending my messages multiple times. I would like for it to be more compatible with gmail. Review Source PM Philipp M. Managing Partner Management Consulting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ActiveCollab is easy to implement in an organization and easy to use for all employees and clients" February 9, 2018 5.0 \* Fast time tracking \* Easy invoices \* Perfect to keep track of the current projects Pros \* Easy to use without having to do a lot of training \* Can be implemented very fast \* Access from everywhere via web and app Cons \* More ways to export the different data to csv-files \* There could be different options for csv-files to make it easier to import the data in MS Excel (comma vs. semicolon, quotation marks, ...) \* Invoicing could be improved Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Colourful and easy" November 29, 2018 5.0 Pros Adding new tasks, editing them and setting alerts are easy things to do. If you explore more the app, you will find other useful features. Cons Sometimes it's difficult to find old (accomplished) tasks. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Account Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User-friendly and practical" October 15, 2018 4.0 i am generally quite satisfied with the sofware and would highly recommend it to my coworkers and friends Pros it is pretty simple for usage enabling you to easily organize your team and have a clear insight into status of all projects. Cons user interface - design has been a little bit grayish. it would be nice if you could just highlight some parts with the other more vivid colour. Review Source AK Alexander K. CEO Online Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very solid and overall efficient and easy to use, but with a few childhood diseases" February 21, 2018 4.0 Pros Easy to generate projects, create task lists, tasks, subtasks, set a status or assign to a co-worker. Cons There are a few childhood diseases e.g. bugs, at some points no color picker etc. But nothing big, so it does not hardly disturb your workflow - but still a little bit. Review Source AK Alexandra K. Project manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Using the tool is so intuitive. A great plus is the variety of functions esp. for smaller companies" February 9, 2018 5.0 Collaboration improvements: every one knows what we are up to in which part of the project and as a manager you can keep track of results and challenges. Pros Variety of functions. To-do and project management. Time tracking and invoicing and reports. For agenies, consultants and other service providers it is all very convenient. Plus it works seemed on Mac - even with an own desktop app and Mobile app. Cons Export functions of graphs and reports can be improved. Role system is sometimes not flexible enough, but they always keep you updated on what is going to be improved next so I'm sure it's going to come soon. Review Source AT Alex T. Graphic Designer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Simple and easy to understand how the system works from the get-go " February 9, 2018 4.0 Pros easy to set up projects and tasks and manage whos looking after what tasks. It's easy to see completed projects which is handy to see what you had done on each project Cons I think it may be useful to add some customisation options, the way my team use AC is each project is one of our clients and inside the project/brand we have task lists and subtask lists. It may be helpful if we could upload a logo/project image Review Source IA Ilia A. CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good tool to track time and projects" February 4, 2019 5.0 We are using AC on daily basis for our IT team. Definitely recommend it to track projects progress and spent time. Pros Very intuitive UI, boards are awesome and very complexed reports system. Cons Sometimes it has technical issues at login screen (in Google Chrome) Review Source Similar Products Featured
