ActiveCollab

Vorteile

Great dashboard, different types of reports, milestone preview, calendars, time tracking tool are just a few of the features that make this software irreplaceable tool when it comes to project management.

Nachteile

Lack of integration with Git or another version of control system.

Vorteile

Project view grouping and filtering with grid and table layout. This is a killer feature for my use case.Very simple yet comprehensive overall system design. This is important for me as my coworkers came from different backgrounds.Activity View is very effective to have an overall view on what's going on without wasting a lot of time.Mobile Application gets the job done. No bugs, no unexpected behavior.

Nachteile

The optional GetPaid (invoicing and payment management) paid add-on is honestly not for me. It's a very nice and really good addition for more simple uses case like when we just started business, but It definitely needs more attention to fit our needs. We finally opted for a more specialized product to keep track of our finance.

I tried a lot of PM systems, to the point where I was considering rolling my own. I settled a few years with OnlyOffice, which is honestly respectable and reasonably priced product. But over the years they focused on online document editing and left project management without filling the gaps. In the project management area, Active collab wins easily. It just much better designed and more featured product. Project Management was clealry not a priority for OnlyOffice team.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ActiveCollab

ActiveCollab is honestly better than most I have used or tried. I am a bit demanding person when it comes to software, and ActiveCollab just clicked in my head. Like it's very intuitive, gets the job done quickly, Not missing important feature.

Vorteile

It is beautifully designed so initially it seemed easier to use and navigate.
It had a client portal and I could track my jobs and invoice/do estimates all from one place.

Nachteile

It has hidden fees. Everywhere it advertises itself as only 7.50 a month. - But using the MAIN FEATURES OF WHY I WANTED THIS APP is extra, like invoicing, time tracking and using the client portal. This was not made clear initially. The client service is terrible. I would ask questions but there response was really terrible english language - not what I would expect from an international app that everyone should be able to understand. Especially a client service person called Darla. Terrible and rude manners and unhelpful.!

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ActiveCollab

Activecollab seems to be the cheapest option where I could managment my projects, finances and clients from one place.

Vorteile

I've had a good overall experience with ActiveCollab. Keeping track of tasks and projects is made easier by the software's ease of use and navigation. The ability to assign tasks to team members and establish deadlines is a terrific tool, and the design is clear and easy to use.

Nachteile

Despite all of ActiveCollab's good features, the one that I disliked the most was how little possibilities there were for layout and design customisation. Although the software had an easy-to-use interface, there weren't many choices for customising the appearance and feel to fit certain tastes or brand identities.

Vorteile

Visually easy to see what projects and tasks are priority. I also love the budget tracker which allows me to make sure projects stay on budget. This program is extremely easy to learn to use as both an administrator and a day-to-day user. I have worked with so many project management systems in my career (some at a much higher price point) and ActiveCollab is a true competitor for a fraction of the cost.

Nachteile

When pulling invoices, I wish we had more options as to how to import the time entry notes. Because we require our team to place notes as to what they were doing for the hours logged - we do spend more time than desired editing invoices once the data is pulled in.
