Scenarios where ActiveCollab works well 1) ActiveCollab works well for small teams specifically T&M teams.Its invoicing feature is unique & can make your life easy. 2) It is very easy to use & posses good range of filters like on the task list, we can drag/drop tasks, Filter by assignee's,tasks lists, due dates, or completed tasks. 3) It has some simple but awesome features like when you're inthe middle of writing something i.e a comment on story and get interrupted,it retains what you wrote. 4) It allows you to tag team members in threads of comments to grab their attention, its really needed when teams are distributed. Thus helping team members to collaborate easily & stay on same page. 5) It integrates pretty well with other web apps like quickbooks , Slack, Trello, HubSpot, Zapier etc Scenarios where ActiveCollab did not work well 1) Tasks can not have multiple assignee's here so if two members are working on same task it did not allow you to reflect that. 2) Sorting capability is not their under invoicing 3) It did not work well for larger teams 4) Search option is not very detailed & you may end up wasting lot of time searching one particular bug or issue.

If you have more than 2 developers this thing is basically a requirement within github to manage sprints if you use agile methodology. Why use a different website entirely when you can run your entire board right from github itself? I've tried other solutions but basing everything on github issues makes it so no duplicate work has to take place. If the UX quirks and mobile were fixed this would be 10/10 for me! If you're only one or two devs on a team it may be overkill to use, but if you're going to scale it's better to put the process in early.Incentivized
Great for project and task assignments, project workflow and communications.Solid web-based platform that doesn't require software downloads, also includes great mobile platform.Great reporting tools for managing billing, estimating, project workflow and other essential project details.Allows for both the agency and its clients to interact on a single platform using role-specific permissions.Incentivized
ZenHub has a lot of basic functionality, so that limits the complexity of the applicationThe ability to provide user defined labels and customize pipelines provides flexibilityThe integration with GitHub provides a seamless processIncentivized
It isn't possible to set members of staff as part time, so if someone is unavailable on certain days you must manually enter them as OOO every single day that they are not in, that other teammates work. Hours also can't be edited individually - everyone is treated as working the same hours in a day, rendering capacity planner useless for flexi working teamsSubtasks cannot be assigned their own hours and deadlines, meaning the To Do list view can't be seen in actual date order and capacity planner does not reflect all time allocated to an individual's schedule unless every task is set up as a separate task rather than subtaskThere is no way to see all tasks of a certain type across multiple campaigns (e.g all copywriting tasks vs all technical tasks) - support team suggested exporting data and making spreadsheetsKanban view isn't available for people's own task lists ('board' view here shows a list)Not possible to have one task be assigned to more than one personNotifications are not sent when tasks are updated, so you have to leave comments and tag people each time
Additional communication/collaboration inside the platform would be helpfulIntegration with additional systems like Slack would be a plussometimes web pages load slowly, but for the most part things are alrightIncentivized
ZenHub is one of the best GitHub repo-management software integrating the usage of work-boards and task management, with the ability to integrate several team members to the work table. This method makes the team more organized since everyone can keep track of their time and tasks of themselves and also others, so you can see how fast your teammates are working or if they need any help with something they're working on.Incentivized
We have not required support for ActiveCollab as it works pretty seamlessly. We didn't have any issues with using the platform or with any billing issues. The self-service aspect of the platform is robust and easy to navigate so we have not encountered any errors that required assistance from the support team.Incentivized
Support is good, but quite honestly, I haven't needed any support since 2015. As I remember, I was required to open a ticket and had to wait a few days for resolution. I give it a rating of 8 because of the lag in getting a solid resolution, but it was resolved adequately.Incentivized
ActiveCollab is easier to use and simpler in its setup. It has the right mix of features and simplicity. It's also project-oriented which is important for our workflow. Other tools are often too task-oriented, making it hard to track projects. Overall, ActiveCollab has a great mix of simplicity with good features.Incentivized
I have used Workfront in the past, which in my experience, is best with a traditional waterfall methodology, similar to Microsoft Project and the other more traditional project management software projects. ZenHub is truly designed around the agile methodology. Other products that claim they are agile oriented seem to just be adjusting and tweaking their traditional product to include a few agile features.Incentivized
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!).Incentivized
Allowed us to move from Azure Boards to GithubReduced our costsAllowed us to get closer to a new market (Github users) by allowing us to familiarize ourselves with their workflows and toolsIncentivized
