ActiveCollab

Perfect Project management tool.

Commentaires : ActiveCollab is one of the best, if not the best project management tool that I have ever used and I have jumped from one to another tool for different projects and project types. If offers so many features, perfect dashboard, milestone preview, calendar, planner, contact details, time tracking and much more. While it is perfect for managing many different types of projects, this is still not the perfect tool for managing software development projects. The only reason for that would be, there is no (or that was not back then) an integration with Git or other version of control system. It was simply a missing feature back then.
I truly hope that nowadays the ActiveCollab team managed to improve and integrate such feature, but talking 6-7 years ago, that was the only downside that I can say about it. If for some reason that is still not available and you are into software development business, look for something else like Asana or Bitbucket.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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

Active Collab makes working together simple

Commentaires : My team is spread across the country and Active Collab allows us to work together on projects seamlessly. Our outside partners are also able to work with us easily.

Avantages :

Great tool for managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders Pretty robust feature set Simple to access and easy to invite collaborators in & out of my company

Inconvénients :

Upgrades have been a bit buggy and while the team are responsive, they don't always believe that they've broken something

Alternatives envisagées : Trello et Slack

Pourquoi choisir ActiveCollab : Better features competitive pricing All around, Active Collab is a more flexible tool that is easier to use

Logiciel antérieur : Basecamp

Pourquoi passer à ActiveCollab : Pricing and features

Helpful tool for organizing

Commentaires : I use this tool daily to assign tasks to the team. It is a good helper and in general I am satisfied with how the application works.

Avantages :

Creating tasks is easy. I can create subtasks, assign executors and deadlines.

Inconvénients :

I would like it if the subtasks also had a deadline.

It is a beautiful app but not that useful

Commentaires : It was nice in the beginning but I just soon realised I needed something with easier to use features and no hidden costs. Onces a app like this becomes too complicated to navigate or customise - you will not use it as you need to daily because of that hassle.

Avantages :

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.

Inconvénients :

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.!

Alternatives envisagées : Pluto LMS, monday.com et ClickUp

Pourquoi choisir ActiveCollab : I wanted a app that I could use to track my projects, my daily tasks, and has a timer. Plus I can send out cost estimates and invoices from and my clients can log into to track and make note of project progress and timeline.

Logiciel antérieur : Todoist et Asana

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

Very easy to use but packs a big punch

Commentaires : Our overall experience is absolutely positive. We get to plan out our projects, go through them daily, track everything, and at the end exactly know what to invoice the client. It really covers all the basis that we need in our process and we love it for that.

Avantages :

I really appreciate the simplicity and the power behind the features it delivers. On the surface, it offers just a list of tasks me and my team manage throughout our design and development process, but under the hood it offers task dependencies, estimates, time tracking and many other cool things that make it deceptively powerful.

Inconvénients :

Probably the speed of the app on some larger projects. It's lightning fast for everything small to medium, but on larger projects it can take a while to load everything.

Alternatives envisagées : Jira, Teamwork et Asana

Pourquoi passer à ActiveCollab : Asana is a bit confusing to get into, and it can really get expensive really fast when you need more powerful features. Teamwork was probably our second pick, bit it can be all over the place, not as elegant as ActiveCollab. JIRA is just a beast and we don't need that much complexity (and power) for our everyday development.
