"The de facto project management experience"
5/5
What do you like best about ActiveCollab?

The simplicity of the UX, it means that even the most technophobic of clients can easily utilize a project management system to closely collaborate with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveCollab?

Removal of the ability to change the colors that was present in the previous major version.

Waiting on a native desktop app currently so that we can access information whilst offline on our laptops and tablets, like we can with our smartphones.

Not a fan of Elastic Search as it's another thing to run. Without it, your search functionality doesn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ActiveCollab has changed my company for the better!"
5/5
What do you like best about ActiveCollab?

I'm obsessed with ActiveCollab. My company (20+ people) lives on this platform daily. We use it for EVERYTHING. Probably the best part about it is the ability to search through tasks. Current and past. It's really easy to figure out anything at any point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActiveCollab?

Sometimes they have bugs, not often, but when they do their support team is quick and fixes it right away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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.
