## Reviews

### "Great, but a lot of improvements can be made." — 5.0/5

> **Sinoun** | *12 December 2018* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Before I decided to go with ActiveCollab a few years ago, I researched and tried all the project management softwares I could find. I ended up going with ActiveCollab for a number of reasons. &#10;&#10;One, their interface is simple, practical, and easy on the eye. I found other project management softwares trying to hard and it essentially complicated simple things. Also, I loved how my projects can be displayed and searched. I know this sounds trivial, but when you manage hundreds of projects (websites), I need an interface that works for me. Their interface works perfectly for someone with my needs. I constantly have to go back and forth on so many notes for projects and ActiveCollab has made it user-friendly for me to do this.&#10;&#10;Second, ActiveCollab had awesome customer service when I had any issues or questions. This was a big plus because I then knew I was in good hands. &#10;&#10;Third, they had some add-ons other softwares didn't have so it was nice to have features I wanted to use all in one place, like time tracking and invoicing.&#10;&#10;Fourth, it was reasonably priced.
> 
> **Cons**: While I went with ActiveCollab, I am still frustrated with some of their features:&#10;&#10;One, I use notes A LOT. Their notes interface design looks like something from the 90's.&#10;&#10;Two, while they have the invoicing option available, it's sub-par. There are a lot of things they can improve with their invoicing. I wish I could use it, but it's just very limited. An example of a limitation is that you can't even enter or send an invoice without "inviting" the client to join ActiveCollab. I tried testing an invoice by putting an email manually because they claimed you could, but nothing gets sent, unless I "invite" someone into my account. This is silly. Another issue I have with the invoicing is that it shows "Active Collab" as the sender and you do NOT have the option to change this. Kinda stupid.&#10;&#10;Three, you only have a measly 3 ways to categorize or filter projects: Client, Category, and Label. This can be very limiting depending on what you're doing.
> 
> Overall, I like ActiveCollab, but I want to so bad love it more. There is a lot of potential with AC and room for improvement, and I really hope they listen to people's suggestions and needs\! Either way, I do highly recommend ActiveCollab, especially if you're a web designer like me who manages hundreds of sites.

### "Comprehensive Project management" — 5.0/5

> **Ian** | *25 August 2022* | Graphic Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use and implementation. Simple staff on-boarding and intuitive interface.
> 
> **Cons**: Poor search function and lack of ability to enter a date on estimates... crazy that such a well rounded and useful software lacks a full feature search function and doesn't allow (nor even auto generate) a date field on the estimate form.
> 
> Despite the above mentioned short comings (search functionality and date entry on estimates), overall Active Collab is a great asset to our team and our companie's ability to track all projects and billings in one place. We find it indispensable.

### "Streamline Your Team Collaboration with ActiveCollab" — 3.0/5

> **Sarfaraz** | *26 January 2023* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the things I liked most about ActiveCollab software is its user-friendly interface. The interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple for my team to quickly access the features and tools they need to manage our projects. Additionally, the software is highly customizable, allowing us to tailor it to our specific needs and workflows. The ability to create custom workflows and labels helped me to stay on top of my projects and keep everything organized. Another feature that I liked is the ability to collaborate with team members in real-time and leave comments on tasks, which helped to streamline communication and keep everyone on the same page. Overall, ActiveCollab software is an efficient and productive tool for managing projects and teams.
> 
> **Cons**: One of the things I liked least about ActiveCollab software was the lack of flexibility in customizing the interface. While the overall layout and design was user-friendly, I found it difficult to make small adjustments to suit my team's specific needs. Additionally, the reporting feature could be improved with more detailed and customizable options. Another downside was the limited integration capabilities with other tools and platforms. Overall, while ActiveCollab offers a solid project management solution, there is definitely room for improvement in terms of customization and integration options.
> 
> Overall, my experience with ActiveCollab has been positive. The software is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it simple to keep track of tasks and projects. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the ability to assign tasks to team members and set deadlines is a great feature. The dashboard gives a clear overview of progress, and the ability to integrate with other tools like Google Drive and Slack makes it even more efficient. The customer support team is also responsive and helpful. The only downside I have found is that the software is a bit expensive for the small business.

### "Best Project and task management software for SMEs" — 5.0/5

> **Bappaditya** | *4 October 2019* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I have tried multiple task management software for our company, But anyhow I was not satisfied with other product because of no option to manage workload or time and invoice calculation or somehow workflow is difficult for non technical user to use.  &#10;Activ Collab has the most simple UI and Design. Only 1 or 2 days training will be sufficient for any users to understand it. &#10;Workload segment  is really simple and most important functionality it have.&#10;And the support team is really great. &#10;&#10;Most importantly - it have self hosted options which is utmost priority for us for data security and privacy and also we can reduce cost for our users.
> 
> **Cons**: Android app needs improvement. It doesn't comes anywhere near to desktop web version.
> 
> Simple UI, even a stupid person may understand after simple guidance
