and time tracking to some extent.
Pros
easy to use , labels are a great way to manage the priorities. lists help a lot with task delegation and the comments are also helpful . subtasks can be assigned too which is a great help .
Cons
really wanted to have images in subtasks and tasks description . and if the image attachment can be just drag and drop will be perfect.

Pros
the ability to track hours and project management is great. the interface is simple enough, our clients are able to easily navigate the program .
Cons
active collab is built to function as your one-stop shop for all project management, billing, hour tracking, calendar management, etc. we don't need all of those features for our company - so it would be great to just plug events on the calendar without creating/assigning tasks.

better project management. and have a history of projects done.
Overall the tool is amazing and has so much value in it.
Pros
Complexity – time counting, project & task management, reports and invoicing in one place.
Cons
Also, it's not possible to create a team in which team members have can view time entries for the project of other team members which makes collaboration witch hour-rate system difficult – I have to send a screen of time spent on a project to my client (who is a team member in ActiveCollab) every month.

Pros
It is great for tracking the progress and edits on tasks within projects and campaigns, although some functionality could still be bettered.
Cons
Very annoying that tasks can only be allocated to one person as we have multiple people working on one task, that would need it on their 'My Work' section.
