What do you like best about ActiveCollab?

We can track time spend in a project and also track project progress. Deadline meets due to active colllab. time ealst tracked and we can track each and every employee and we can track every single empolyee that how much time he/ she spending in a particular project and its helps to evaluate the specific employee . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveCollab?

we can improve UI for activeCollab like drag and drop. like jira and other project management tool, there may be more filter for evolving progress of employee. There should be sprint planning section in active collab. there must be a story writing section which helps to track and manage project as well as time also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ActiveCollab:

There should be sprint wise planning section, so that project can easily tracked module or sprint wise and easily estimation can be done using sprints.

Sprint wise planing may makes development more faster and easy to share effort of new project to client or partner.

and in sprint there should a section of story, means every sprint should have multiple stories and stories should be a task where we can add time, and after closing the sprint we can easily track are you estimating correct time.we can compare how much time we are estimated and how much time we spended in a particular sprint and in which sprint takes more time.
