Project Manager and UX Designer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 1/13/2022 "Useful Project Management system, with some limitations" 3/5 What do you like best about ActiveCollab? The workload view was very helpful for resource management, and the ability to switch between the kanban view and list view was helpful. The most useful area of the entire product was the timetables and users being able to easily and quickly track time towards similar or repeating tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ActiveCollab? You could not make a task be assigned to multiple people, so items that we needed multiple resources on meant that we needed to create multiple duplicative tasks and assign them out. It at times got overwhelming to try and find the appropriate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ActiveCollab solving and how is that benefiting you? Resource management, time tracking, and workload forecasting. There were many benefits, but because the system was not very useful to us when planning a full project, we had to make the switch to a new product to bring those functionalities together into one system.

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.

I had an excellent start in my work with activecollab, each project achieved the expected results and the overall experience was satisfactory, but now I have traveled constantly to different countries and regions to establish different work methodologies and execute projects that have opened new business opportunities for me and that's why I was forced to use the mobile version of the program, but unfortunately the result was not as expected, it is slow and the procedures take longer than necessary, it does not have what it takes to use it in my work and generates incredible delays Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ActiveCollab? Unfortunately, the mobile version of activecollab is bad, it has no versatility and it is slow, I have not managed to finish projects and manage with the same speed that I did using the program on my computer, it causes me sadness because I do not want to stop using it because the reach I have been good with the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ActiveCollab: To avoid wasting time and mismanagement it is important to know that the program is good but its use in mobile phones is incredibly bad, it does not generate good results, it is slow and it gets stuck, I recommend taking the necessary precautions and consulting the technical service at the time of any problem because they have a service that usually gives quick answers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ActiveCollab solving and how is that benefiting you? Good start achieving a deployment that few programs currently offer, I also have important synchronizations with the softwares that I have to use at work, the program has a lot of autonomy and every planning that I execute achieves with enough power to be successful and I think to get the most out of it the next months to the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

" 2.5/5 What do you like best about ActiveCollab? This software, when fully functional, is awesome for client relations. We are able to upload files, google docs, and more, all into one platform. Additionally, we can send messages, create and complete tasks, and even run time reports for what we need to do. Although it has issues, it is a good software, and there is nothing out there like it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ActiveCollab? IT IS NEVER FULLY FUNCTIONAL. There is never a day (use it daily) that Active Collab fully works. The entire thing will be down, we won't be able to upload files, and reports can all be down at different times throughout the week. It sucks because it is so great, and we rely on it to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ActiveCollab: Try and see if there is any other software out there that may be better for your business. Active Collab is really great, but their technical support SUCKS and it is honestly not worth integrating everything over to AC for all of those issues. I wish someone told us before we got up to our shoulders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ActiveCollab solving and how is that benefiting you? Client communications, internal communications, to obtain information about past projects, and more. We have realized that the software is fabulous, but it is SO HARD to rely on it because of the inconsistencies and poor management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Certified Resume, CV & LinkedIn Writer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 8/10/2017 "Excellent Functionality if you don't mind losing control of your brand" 2.5/5 What do you like best about ActiveCollab? Simple and affordable pricing makes Active Collab a must-see tool for any small business owner. With all the strength and functionality of Basecamp for a fraction of the cost, this tool can quickly become the cornerstone of any business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ActiveCollab? Active Collab has generally decided that marketing to the possible end-user is more important than providing their paying customers with a service that promotes their business. Active Collab has no customization options for the look and feel of the platform. If you are going to use the platform to communicate with your own customers, be aware that they will be receiving emails from active collab, with active collab branding, with only a slight mention of you and your company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ActiveCollab solving and how is that benefiting you? With Active Collab, my teams have really been able to get on the same page. It is fabulous for back end collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Visually it is a great tool to see all of your ongoing project (Projects Tab) at a high level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ActiveCollab? If your projects don't follow a repeatable plan, the tasks tab can be tough to manage/interact with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ActiveCollab: Use labels to identify an individuals or teams projects. If you're company uses Google Drive for documents, then definitely utilize the integration to add value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In it's old form, Active Collab offered our team the transparency into every project that we desperately needed. It allowed various members of the team to see what was going on at different stages of the project. I loved that it came with a desktop timer that made it really easy to track time to a certain project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about ActiveCollab? The new update did not have anything that we needed and essentially changed the entire way the system functioned. After the 2015 update, our team had to switch service because Active Collab no longer worked the way we needed it to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering ActiveCollab: The system they had before 2015 was great. The update they made in 2015 changed how the service functioned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is ActiveCollab solving and how is that benefiting you? We wanted to be more open with the creative team and business teams. Active Collab was able to help us do that at one point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
