Review Criterias

Pros	perpetual license for hosting on own server…so, only one time costs (and these too are quite less for the features it offers) & you can choose from corporate or small Biz license; access to full source code for tailoring; quickly move between projects; break a ticket into smaller tasks; unlimited attachments allowed; some great options for collaboration (emails, attach files, discussion forums, contextual attachments); flexibility with setting up a client for a project and also for setting up and controlling user permissions; time tracking and invoicing (with easy to use templates and several options); interfaces for mobiles and localization; printable reports; integration with SVN. And it has a very intuitive UI.
Cons	Not available as a hosted service; some additional extensions would be a great addon
Conclusion	You have to host it on your own server, so expect some hiccups there and you would have to do your own maintenance…would have been great if it was available as a hosted service. However, if that isn't a must have for you, you should just go ahead and get activecollab. I have heard people switch from other expensive and highly popular products to Activecollab without a problem. Time tracking and invoicing features are easy and they extend the use of activecollab for those who want to use it for customer/vendor billing too.
