ActiveCollab Reviews

I find ActiveCollab easy to use and intuitive, which creates nice workflows for our staff. The setup was very easy, and I appreciate how it helps us maintain transparency with our clients, centralize our work, and manage task priorities effectively.

Our clients seem to find that it's difficult to use.

ActiveCollab allows us to have transparency with our clients, centralize our work with our clients and staff, assign tasks, and manage their priority.

For me, personally, ActiveCollab is the best task management tool as I have been using it for the past 4 years. The UI is very user-friendly, and creating a new task and especially recurring tasks is the best option, as I have to deliver weekly reports to my clients, and I have never forgotten any report in the past 4 years, as the weekly and monthly tasks are automatically created and assigned to me.

The second best option is that we can edit messages in a limited time-frame, not whenever anyone wants it.

Thirdly, the "reassigning" option, which keeps everyone in the loop.

For me, personally, ActiveCollab has helped me with almost everything I needed since I started using this tool.

It's very ewasy to use, it was easy to implement in our company and it inegrated nively with Hubstaff (timetracking). It has a ton of features that that makes it easy for our team to manage calendar and how we use the platform.

I wish old files would be easy to select in bulk when needed to delete. When I remove old files I have to select them individually and delete them.

It's solving our organization and comunication problem.

ActiveCollab is excellent when we talk about implementations that do not require the use of hardware infrastructure in our organization since we can use it from its 'on cloud' implementation, this gives us additional functionalities such as workload management and timesheets, through a waterfall project work methodology.

There is a lot of documentation available online that helps familiarize us with the different options and functions, as well as informing us about the use of templates, to mention an example.

Its configuration of roles and permissions is quite robust, making it easy to define what a user can do in activeCollab since we have five predefined roles in the system in addition to being able to adjust them based on the particular needs of a project.

On the other hand, we can invite members and collaborators through email notifications and assign them tasks, upload documents that support the activities and in general we can create a design that allows us to manage the execution of our project in a simple and efficient way.

Reminder for all taks for a day at once

Easy to invite members to discussion

We can create multiple discussion under single project

ActiveCollab is a great platform to manage our projects but without a missing dashboard it is quite bothersome and wondersome as well. We would love to see a great, visually appealing dashboard to view and manage most of the features. A project involves so many factors; from task assignment to tasks completion alongside status, invoices, billing, communication, reporting, transfer of and so on. There are many good platforms out there but none of them offer a complete range of variety which ActiveCollab has to offer, it is your all-in-one solution.

Some people might not agree with me, but visual representation of the data is very much appealing as well as easy to understand in one go, however, the supporting features for visual data are missing here and we really don’t understand why. It is quite an unfortunate situation with all the good features it offers you.

ActiveCollab has been with us for a long time and we love using it to manage simple and complex projects all under one roof. The management of projects is relatively easy as compared to its competitors and people find it an easier option to work with while handling already complex projects. Highly recommended to anyone who is looking for an all-in-one solution when it comes to project management. It not only helps with the management of projects but you can also make the most out of it by handling, billing, invoices budgets alongside clients all under one roof and in incredibly low pricing plans.

Very user-friendly. Great organization structure for managing multiple tasks/department silos and allowing for cross-team/business collaboration.

Minor thing, but for agencies, I wish they highlighted the business association property for creating new projects so you don't accidentally give new clients more access than you bargain for (if your own company is the default). It would be good if you were required to enter that field (as opposed to allowing for a default entry) and the program made you review that setting before finalizing the project creation.

Active Collab was a necessary program that allowed us to manage our many clients, projects, and tasks. It would not have been possible to track all of these critical elements otherwise. It also allowed us to have greater transparency with our clients regarding what we were working on, consolidated documents, and enabled us to track our individual efforts and time management.

ActiveCollab is a platform specifically designed for the planning, execution, and monitoring of all types of projects that require a workflow that produces visibility for all team members, in addition to managing information related to budgets, execution times, deadlines in which each task must be accomplished, and much more.

ActiveCollab's interface has a simplicity that allows us to carry out efficient monitoring and automate some tasks related to the execution, thus, we can select, for example, the high-priority option for each task that we need to perform more quickly, which will indicate to the end user that we must attend with high priority.

ActiveCollab definitely encourages teamwork, this is achieved by assigning a project manager who will distribute the rest of the permissions to the members who will participate in the execution, so the people who participate will be able to know what is being done in the different tasks, progress, and completion of activities.

On the other hand, ActiveCollab manages the entire process of a project, from the beginning, which is when an idea is generated, to the completion of a final product or service, in addition to the fact that we can invite new team members, or clients through sending an email to our work area and participating collaboratively.

I like that our team can easily collaborate, and share information and updates. The system of projects, tasks, assignees, and workload features keeps us organized, on-time, and on-budget.

Our team misses the standalone time tracker app. Everybody has grown used to switching between jobs through ActiveCollab browser interface, but the standalone app was a nice feature. There are also some missing bulk editing features that would streamline things slightly.

ActiveCollab helps us easily keep track of job statuses and their related tasks. The time tracking feature keeps us on-budget and allows us to more accurately estimate future jobs.

I love that it makes it simple to chat and work together on projects!

I wish I started using this platform earlier.
