What do you like best about ActiveCollab?

Something I like about ActiveCollab is the way it allows you to group projects, each information and group. In my work it is very necessary to be able to determine and focus difficult tasks, ActiveCollab makes it possible since its platform has tools that do what is necessary for each project to be positive, also allows the power to collaborate with the other team members, being able to delegate tasks with just two click to any member or attached users. It is an easy program to classify clients and campaigns. Another aspect that I like is that users can select the number of emails that ActiveCollab receives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveCollab?

It seems to me that ActiveCollab is a bit confused software since it is an all-inclusive tool that lacks features that other project management programs have. Similarly, ActiveCollab has no customization options for the appearance of the platform, so if you want to communicate with your customers, you will only receive active collaboration email, with only a small mention of you and your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ActiveCollab:

LA I have been using for some time as a project management tool, it is indisputably highly recommended, and if what you or your company are looking for is to track tasks, good communication between several teams, share files, track expenses and project templates, APIs and integrations of accounting supplements, etc., so I believe that ActiveCollab should be your main choice. In addition, its simple and affordable prices make ActiveCollab an unmissable tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ActiveCollab solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is used in the company as a project management tool, helping us in the execution of daily operations of our company and our clients. In addition, it helps us keep track of what we do and where any project is in the timeline. With this tool we have been able to manage customer requests and improve internal and external communications. It has been a great help for us allowing us to be aware of all things.

I would like to have a good support in the technical support at the time of registering a problem, it becomes somewhat tedious not to have an answer that helps to solve and inconvenience exactly, to get an answer you have to go to activecollab.com and raise the situation.

What do you like best about ActiveCollab?

The cost is pretty competitive and does 90% of what we need on a daily basis. Once you get projects set up and people assigned, it's quite easy to quickly set up new tasks within the project and streamline a basic process for management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveCollab?

I'd like to see more filter options and visual options. We moved over from a folder based system which just had a lot more options when it came to viewing tasks and folders within a project. The folders also let us give access to certain people in a hierarchy system. Right now, when I open a project I'm presented with a long list of tasks that can sometimes feel very overwhelming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ActiveCollab:

It's great for small to medium size projects that don't require a lot fo individual tasks being created for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ActiveCollab solving and how is that benefiting you?

Basic projects for already quite structured timelines. It's great for using with simple projects that don't require a lot of on the fly changes and deviations from the original scope. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about ActiveCollab?

It's quite intuitive. Easy to handle and delivers timely notifications to the team working on the different projects effectively. It has a clean presentation that makes it easier for everyone to track hours and the activities happening in different projects.

It also facilitates sharing needed content for each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveCollab?

There's no really functional version on the go. Some of my teammates and myself were the kind to be going from meeting to meeting or event. In those cases, if we did not have a laptop with us, it was quite difficult to get back to our teams if they required assistance through ActiveCollab. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ActiveCollab solving and how is that benefiting you?

We would manage our client's digital marketing campaigns. We would all be contractors, so being able to input our hours was great importance, and being able to properly see them and understand them clearly, was even more dire for our management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
