Overall Satisfaction with Active Collab

We use Active Collab to manage all projects within our web design/digital marketing business. Having tried many other project management options, we found Active Collab to be the only one that offered all the features that we need at a sensible price point. Using it has enabled all of our team, including freelancers to keep up to date with all projects they are involved in whilst giving myself and my fellow directors an instant view of which stage each job is at.
  • The time tracking desktop app is great, giving both a list of assigned tasks and allowing time spent on them to be recorded quickly and easily.
  • Xero integration means that all time tracked can be used to create invoices within our chosen accounting package with the minimum of fuss.
  • Project templates ensure that each new project is quick and easy to set up and that all internal processes are included within each project.
  • Notification emails would benefit from being able to set up schedules for reminders when tasks are due for completion.
  • A time tracking app for Linus would be a welcome addition.
  • It enables us to keep on top of multiple projects very easily and helps ensure that jobs are finished to spec and on time.
We chose Active Collab over Basecamp as the pricing model worked better for us. Basecamp, for us was a close second.
For me, Active Collab is the ideal project management tool for a busy digital agency.
