ActiveCollab
Intuitive and flexible to use all kinds of extension components. Simple and pleasant, it has amazing features and is highly secure.When they lack animation and explosiveness at the user level, it expires due to the rich user experiences offered by today's website.ActiveCollab is a safe investment when talking about dynamics and production in projects, also in the management of the fair of the working group.

Yes, definitely. We wanted a flexible but robust software and Sciforma seemed to be the best fit

Pros
- Project Management - Makes it very efficient to manage projects using Gantt Charts, daily email reports and custom reports!
- Collaboration - Allows to collaborate with team members, tag them in tasks, send files/attachments.
- Task delegation - With just 2 clicks you can delegate tasks to other team members/users.

- Flexible: I believe it is the best part. The software is completely and especially designed for our needs.
- Easy to use: any configuration can be done either by us or Sciforma. At first, we would only use the project extension. After a year, we decided to add more users and roll-out time tracking. We did the configuration by ourselves and didn’t need Sciforma’s help. It was pretty easy, even without having a dedicated developer.
- They have a lot of features: you can start as small as you want and always get more features . This was our case and we haven’t been limited so far.
- They are methodology agnostic: We use both Agile and Waterfall and it’s great to see it all rolls up to the portfolio level.

Cons
- Search functionality - The search functionality is not so promising and I'm unable to find the tasks/items that I need even though I use the keywords that are in the ticket/comments -- Definitely something that needs to be improved.
- No snooze functionality for tasks - If you work on multiple projects and deal with large number of tasks/tickets then things can get messy in your "workspace." An easy feature that can resolve this is to add snooze functionality. That way users can snooze tasks and optimize their workspace until when they really need to work on the task.
- No ability to color code tasks - I'm a visual person and deal with a large number of tasks on ActiveCollab. Seeing my huge pile of tasks in the same color makes me lose track of things and slows me down. It would be very helpful for me if task color coding was added to Active Collab -- I'm sure there are others out there who benefit from this feature, too!

- Some bugs when the new version was released. But they were very quickly fixed, the Sciforma team is reactive and is always ready to help.

Alternatives Considered
I have used multiple project management platforms such as ActiveCollab, JIRA, Trello, etc. Trello has great visualization with their (Kanban Board) board system and support drag and drop functionality for managing tasks. ActiveCollab, however, does not have the fancy visualization, but is very powerful when it comes to ticketing, task management, task delegation, time tracking, etc.

We were looking at vendors but they didn't meet our expectations and weren't flexible enough.

Return on Investment
- Allows our team to stay organized and keep conversations on tasks.
- The To-Do List email every morning helps me mentally prepare and know exactly what I should be doing as soon as I start work.
- Powerful and useful integrations save lots of time (Google Drive, Slack, Dropbox, Zapier and more!).

- It’s hard to evaluate our ROI. I can say though that:
- More efficiency, we do not lose time looking for documents in different places anymore. Everything is gathered in one place.
- Reports are amazing and quick to create.
- As a project manager, I can better manage my project and my resources. It helps me a lot to prioritize what needs to be done and gives me the bigger picture.
