ActiveCollab is a very Comprehensive Tool.
Pros
ActiveCollab ensures that I meet my deadlines and deliver quality work always. I can manage my work and collaborate with my team effectively and hassle-free. Its interface and design offers simplicity and helps me manage everything on one platform from tracking tasks, file sharing to planning on my calendar. I am really impressed with it and it is really helpful in terms of communication. I can recommend it to anyone.
Cons
I found it difficult to integrate it my calendar when I first started using but so far I'm pleased with it.

Perfect Project management tool.
ActiveCollab is one of the best, if not the best project management tool that I have ever used and I have jumped from one to another tool for different projects and project types.
If offers so many features, perfect dashboard, milestone preview, calendar, planner, contact details, time tracking and much more.
While it is perfect for managing many different types of projects, this is still not the perfect tool for managing software development projects. The only reason for that would be, there is no (or that was not back then) an integration with Git or other version of control system. It was simply a missing feature back then.
I truly hope that nowadays the ActiveCollab team managed to improve and integrate such feature, but talking 6-7 years ago, that was the only downside that I can say about it. If for some reason that is still not available and you are into software development business, look for something else like Asana or Bitbucket.
Pros
Great dashboard, different types of reports, milestone preview, calendars, time tracking tool are just a few of the features that make this software irreplaceable tool when it comes to project management.
Cons
Lack of integration with Git or another version of control system.

Helpful tool for organizing
I use this tool daily to assign tasks to the team. It is a good helper and in general I am satisfied with how the application works.
Pros
Creating tasks is easy. I can create subtasks, assign executors and deadlines.
Cons
I would like it if the subtasks also had a deadline.

It is a beautiful app but not that useful
It was nice in the beginning but I just soon realised I needed something with easier to use features and no hidden costs. Onces a app like this becomes too complicated to navigate or customise - you will not use it as you need to daily because of that hassle.
Pros
It is beautifully designed so initially it seemed easier to use and navigate.
It had a client portal and I could track my jobs and invoice/do estimates all from one place.
Cons
It has hidden fees. Everywhere it advertises itself as only 7.50 a month. - But using the MAIN FEATURES OF WHY I WANTED THIS APP is extra, like invoicing, time tracking and using the client portal. This was not made clear initially. The client service is terrible. I would ask questions but there response was really terrible english language - not what I would expect from an international app that everyone should be able to understand. Especially a client service person called Darla. Terrible and rude manners and unhelpful.!
Reasons for Choosing ActiveCollab
I wanted a app that I could use to track my projects, my daily tasks, and has a timer. Plus I can send out cost estimates and invoices from and my clients can log into to track and make note of project progress and timeline.Reasons for Switching to ActiveCollab

Upgrades have been a bit buggy and while the team are responsive, they don't always believe that they've broken something
