- 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

- 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

- 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

The ability to create a sale and send a quote is great but Accelo goes much further, it allows you to convert quotes to projects from a click, you then have the ability to drop templates into that project for rapid implementations of projects.

Its excellent how you can create triggers and make workflows that suite your business and how you want the business to work.

I don't like the fact that you have no reports, not options for report on tickets or send customers reports of the usage from contracts they have open or the ability to get alerts when contracts use up the time limit allocated to the contract.

Great application, has everything you need and always developing new features which is great. This is not a one off product thats just been left, each quarter something new is released.

Centralization of communication without having to share your mailbox with everyone, its also given us a central location for all our notes in sales, projects and tickets which means anyone can pickup the current progress of anything in the CRM.

It has most simplest and easy to manage dashboard equipped with all the useful icons to generated my quote which I was doing previously on excel typing and re-typing the same clients data and always stuck in creating new folders and then remain stuck in for hours to find the appropriate folder, which was causing a communication gap between me and my customer.

I have no issues with this tool. It is integrated with so many useful tools which have made easy for me to drag and drop files. Its pie chart always give me an over view of how much time I am spending with a particular customer.

It will help you to see your team’s overall schedule so that you get the idea whether someone is having great workload and how to help each other by sharing and breaking down the projects into parts which will give you friendly environment and brings transparency in our work.

I am highly thankful to this software which has taken me out of my worries. It is good at automatically generating my quotes and keeps my data well organized and made invoicing for me just a game.

Excellent tool foe the teamwork and Cloud based platform with online live training and support. Accelo has plenty and most reliable and customizable features and very accessible functions. Budget management product, Time tracking, estimations and quotes creating as well as tracking of many running business projects process. Accelo is also a great solution for Scheduling and very helpful in web design management tool with amazing ability of multiple business projects management within given company increasing the entire business productions.

Myself i have no usability or performance complains on Accelo, this system has been doing a clean and wonderful job.

Accelo has earned it by making many companies and businesses improve their productions rate through the help of this excellent business management platform which is very simple to set up.

Resource management, Time tracking and smooth management of different running business projects and process tracking, improving the marketing strategies in our sales team.

Accelo has a lot of customization and integration abilities to extend their already great workflow from sales & quotes clear to project management, time & expense tracking and finally a ton of billing options. Their integrations operate smooth and fast (we use Xero and Box) and are quick and easy to setup. I looked at over 85 different solutions before I found Accelo that does everything I need. I was just about to build my own solution from scratch, but now I don't have to! They also have great professional startup services that really help you dial in their software to fit your business, I highly recommend paying for their startup services.

There are a few unpolished bits like windows that pop over buttons, inconsistent visual themes or button placement. All very minor things that don't cause any problems and they're always fixing, upgrading and adding features.

The tool is not infinitely customizable, they have a definite workflow that if you can make your business conform to it, your transition will go much smoother. They made it very usable for a wide range of customers in different industries so you may have to work to finesse some peculiarities of your process into their tool. I don't view it as a "con" so to speak because it works very well for us, you'd just want to confirm that what it does works for you.

Definitely pay for the startup services. They answer questions and help you find the best path forward based on their experience with other customers. It saved so much time getting things setup right from the start and not having to go read through all the manuals and guides to figure out how to do something or if you should even do it.

Pulling the CRM aspect in with the "job" work is priceless for us. Now when programmers work on a job they can see the entire communication train from the first quote request and the information isn't trapped in a bunch of different inboxes.

Also being able to create a quote and pull that estimated time, milestones and tasks clear through to the actual work is a huge benefit and way better than before with separate quoting, time tracking & billing systems.

Accelo is a good solution for professional service companies requiring a platform to manage and control project and retainer costs and profitability. It is easy to create quotes, convert to projects and bill, along with recording time and associated costs.

I called it the SalesForce of project management because its most significant weakness is the number of ways you can configure things and the complexity that can result. It is also a bit lightweight on reporting (most solutions are), so we have exported data to build better dashboards. Finally, the integration with Xero is not as effective and seamless as it could be, but we have created a solution of sorts.

Be prepared to invest time in set-up and on boarding your team

Project management and better visibility of the overall capacity of the team
