Customer Support is great\! > > **Cons**: it needs to have a built in form feature to capture requests. Integration is ok with other platforms, but for security reasons I think a form feature will be perfect. Still a five start app. > > I used since 2005, it is great and it does what it is needed. I started using it in a multimedia company I worked for, and in 2012 I implemented AC in my current job. ----- ### "Great active company with a solid software offering" — 5.0/5 > **Chuck** | *27 June 2026* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Active Collab is a legit task management app that just works. Not too complicated. Everything is super simple to use. > > **Cons**: I can nitpick, but it wouldn't be fair. Active Collab just works. There's a few things I wish it could do but they're creature comforts not missing features. > > Great. Over the years I've spoken directly with their development team and product people numerous times. They listen to their customers. Support is fantastic. ----- ### "Great customer support" — 5.0/5 > **Toby** | *1 May 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Cons**: It would be great to be able to add budgets to tasks within a project's overall budget so we can track the spend on a 'deliverable(s)' ----- ### "Logistics Manager." — 5.0/5 > **Jelena** | *7 October 2025* | Construction Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Definitely, ActiveCollab version 8 comes with many useful features. Truly a serious application-level improvement compared to ActiveCollab 7. The Support Team does an excellent job. Every time, they have helped me in a very efficient and concrete way, with video tutorials. > > **Cons**: The ability to assign more than one person to a single task. Also, an option to download my entire project in text format along with all the files attached to it. > > A very good experience. We are a construction company that organizes workers and their work files in ActiveCollab. For a basic form of job organization, it covers our needs very well. ----- Page: 1 / 18\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ae/software/114491/active-collab?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ae/software/114491/active-collab) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
