Pros

“It provides a centralized hub that eliminates communication silos and ensures everyone is on the same page, making it an indispensable part of our project management process.”
Verified reviewer profile picture

Marquita V.

SALES MANAGER

“It successfully eliminates the need for multiple separate apps by bundling message boards, file sharing, and check-ins into an easy-to-use platform. While it lacks advanced project tracking features like subtask hierarchies or task dependencies needed for highly complex projects, it remains a reliable and cost-effective solution for straightforward team coordination.”
ER

Erica R.

Assitant PM

“Project list access, archived items, templates, lineup, and other frequently used features were buried behind search bars and nested menus with no direct navigation”
DM

Drew M.

CEO

Pros

“it needs to have a built in form feature to capture requests.”
JG

Jorge G.

Creative Director

“I started using it in a multimedia company I worked for, and in 2012 I implemented AC in my current job.”
JG

Jorge G.

Creative Director

“There's a few things I wish it could do but they're creature comforts not missing features.”
CF

Chuck F.

Project Manager

Cons

“Its file storage has limits and the search function can be slow when looking for older files in large projects.”
GO

Gabriella O.

Human resources manager

“It lacks advanced features like Gantt charts, time tracking, or deep reporting out of the box.”
EP

Elena P.

Digital Strategy Senior Specialist

“Every little thing seems to be sending me notifications which is extremely frustrating. If i don't know exactly where my file is located then finding that file is going to be near impossible.”
GA

Gurjeev A.

Business Analyst

Cons

“The Self-Hosted version lags far behind ActiveCollab 8.”
JW

John W.

General Manager

“While comprehensive, the limited third-party integrations may hinder seamless workflow connections.”

“I lack anything that is detestable with ActiveCollab as it meets all my requirements and needs.”
