"User-Friendly, Well Designed Software"
What do you like best about Accelo?
The Client Portal and the ease of editing reports. I find the layout well designed. I like that it's easy to create templates and run most of my business using the platform.
What do you dislike about Accelo?
I wish there were more tiled windows and required less opening new tabs. I'm hoping in the next release, you can adjust the column width on the Project Overview window.
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
I need a single platform to track projects, sales, invoices, billing and client communication. I'm just getting started and Accelo is really helping me to organize my workload and assign tasks to others.
"Manage Projects In One Place"
What do you like best about Accelo?
This platform has an exemplary user interface. I also like that I can organize and manage all the projects I run in one place. This has made work very easy as all the information I need is available from the same platform. Now I don't have to use multiple platforms just to run projects.
What do you dislike about Accelo?
One of the most significant downsides of Accelo is customization. Different organizations have different needs and so projects. Sometimes we would like to customize the feature to fit the projects we are running, but this is limited when using the platform.
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
The platform has simplified our project management processes, and we can easily handle multiple projects on the same platform and assign work to different workers. However, the due date function would be much better.
"Excellent, All-In-One Platform. Can't Imagine Doing Business Without It!"
What do you like best about Accelo?
From sales to project management, Accelo is a seamless platform that works across all departments. And if you don't need a particular module, you don't have to pay for it!
What do you dislike about Accelo?
As with any comprehensive platform, there is a learning curve. The training process is excellent, and you can have Accelo do much of the setup for you. And as long as you're paying attention and utilize the resources provided, it's easy to learn and customize for your organization's unique needs.
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can manage, from prospect to client, the entire sales and project management journey in one place. It's where we clock all of our hours, understand where we are in each project, know who is working on what, and follow specific timelines that are SUPER easy to incorporate into each project plan. It's not perfect, but it's the BEST solution we have found in our search for a platform that fully manages our agency's day-to-day work.
"As project manager of my company. Accelo gives you all of the options needed to run a project."
What do you like best about Accelo?
Creating a template for each project. So that once you are starting projects you are able to plug in your template and set your dates accordingly. Then each task is dependent on the next.
What do you dislike about Accelo?
The projects that i am putting through are pretty basic. I am using accelo projects very simply and not getting into using / looking at the extra features that it gives for dates and setting hours.
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
Accelo solves the problem of our team not knowing what is next. I can set up projects and tasks and then set the dates out. So that they know what is next on their list.
"Multiple Project Management Tools - All in One Place!"
What do you like best about Accelo?
- Sales, Quotes, Projects, Project Plans, Metrics, Billing, Time Tracking, all found in the same place!
- Ability to create Project templates is a time saver
- Ability to create dependencies makes planning easy
- Adaptive scheduling feature helps projects progress in real-time; no matter if you are working ahead, on-track, or behind
What do you dislike about Accelo?
- There isn't a good solution for dealing with sales tax on only select deliverables
- Adaptive, auto start, and planned date functionalities don't work as expected together
- Robust tool with a lot of nuances. Isn't an out-of-the-box solution
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
- We no longer have to use multiple tools for project quoting and project management; everything is now in one system which is a time saver for our client services team and one less system we need to have a contract for
- Project deliverables are easily visible and accessible, and through the use of dependencies we can easily change the dates of the whole project instead of manipulating dates for individual tasks, which is a big time saver
- Data related to time spent on tasks is very transparent which saves us the time of pulling specific reports to see how we did on time quoted vs. actually spent

"Seamless, Accessible & Organized Project Management Tool"
What do you like best about Accelo?
I love being able to track my progress on projects, the breakdown of tasks within the project and time spent working on each task. It helps to prioritize my to-do list and stay focused.
What do you dislike about Accelo?
I would like the site to be more visually appealing. It can be hard to track my daily timesheet through the activity chart at the top- and when I go to edit my timesheet, it often changes my numbers/time inputted which can make a big impact on my timesheet.
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is solving a lot of organizational problems by keeping all project management and tasks in one place where the entire team can see it. It is great being able to not only track what I am working on, but see what my team is working on as well.
"Making Marketing Processes That Much Easier."
What do you like best about Accelo?
Our team loves the capabilities of Accelo in organizing large project processes not just for individuals, but across entire departments. The best part is the time sensitivity, which requires certain aspects to be completed prior to the next tasks going live.
What do you dislike about Accelo?
The learning curve is a bit steep for the software, even for a technologically adept team such as ours in digital advertising. That said, the support on the platform is top-notch, with learning lessons across the board to help get clarity on sticking points.
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
Project management solutions are the primary focus of Accelo, and have allowed our teams to streamline things cross-department. This has made things like onboarding, account touches, audits, correspondence, and even team hiring a much more seamless journey.
"Director of Design in a residential Architecture practice"
What do you like best about Accelo?
It allows us to track the progress of our projects on multiple levels simultaneously. The way the data is organized, we can drill down into specific areas to evaluate our performance and to quickly address areas for improvement. The "Project Stream" is a great tool as well. New projects move seamlessly from Sales to the studio with all of the relevant information already set up.
What do you dislike about Accelo?
Not much. I wish the calendar views and interactions were more intuitive and easier to navigate. Otherwise, we have been extremely happy with Accelo and grateful for the many, many ways it has empowered us to manage our business more effectively.
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
All of the managers are able to view the critical information on their projects in a matter of seconds. Our old method of quickbooks, and spreadsheets and calendars in decentralized formats was VERY ineffecient. We spend more time serving our clients and far less time chasing down data from decentralized sources. Setting up and administering contracts is easy and the templates tie to our delivery schedules. It allows a level of detail in the inputting of time by our employees that lets us see where the time goes in our projects and empowers us to craft better and more accurate proposals.
"Super Robust PMS"
What do you like best about Accelo?
We have gone through a few project management software's and Accelo is by far the most robust.
What do you dislike about Accelo?
I am not in love with the billing system, but it is manageable
What problems is Accelo solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have increased our billable hours TREMENDOUSLY after using Accelo. It easily pays for itself and we are no longer losing time.
