Favorite time and project management solution!

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: As a consulting company we live from the hours we spend at our customers and reliability on the invoicing. Timelog makes our project registration and management efficient. We always have up to date project information and the ease of use for our consultants is an important part.

Pros:

As a fast growing consulting company we really need an easy and reliable time and project management solution. Timelog fulfills this completely in the past three years. The resource manager helps us to give realtime insight in available resources or which people have too much pressure on their planning. For the consultants it's also an easy tool to see which new projects are on their planning in the near future. Invoicing was one of the biggest advantages why we have chosen for Timelog. After two days of wrestling with Excel sheets at the end of the month we came across Timelog. With the Exact Online connection it takes us now 1 hour per month. Last but not least I want to mention the great people behind Timelog! Very experienced, always helpful and they solve your problems almost always the same day. They also list very carefully to our feedback and that often results in new features!

Cons:

New mobile app, improved resource planner more BI reporting. But I know they are working very hard on these points!

Thank you for using TimeLog! Best regards, Andreas from TimeLog

Timelog's Efficiency for Tracking Projects

5.0 6 months ago

Pros:

Timelog does a great job in managing projects, employee tracking, resource allocation all in one software. It is suitable for business of all sizes, small and large enterprises.

Cons:

TimeLog can be improved by shifting away from manual administration of timesheets. Also, a missing timesheet can lead to delayed invoicing prone to error.

Good tool for basic time tracking

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: We use TimeLog to track staff time by projects. We then pull the data out into Excel where we process the information and generate our invoices each month. It works OK, but is a bit cumbersome. The forecasting/project planning features seem relevant and useful, but we can't make them work for our purposes. If TimeLog spent more effort in usability and context-specific help descriptions, it would vastly improve the usability of the system for us.

Pros:

The app works great for time tracking project by project. Easy to deploy to new users. Great and fast customer support. Great up-time (very rare that the app is not working).

Cons:

The product is very ambitious about the many features and integrations it offers, but the usability of all but the most basic features is very complex and requires substantial IT skills to make work. For our business, the required effort is too much, so we just use a fraction of the features. This makes the product more expensive for us than it should be. For instance, the system for hourly rates is a maze to navigate, and once a project is created it is impossible to shift to another rate card - even if the first chosen rate card was a mistake. Frustrating.

get paid for you time

4.0 2 years ago

Pros:

Timelog ensures that I bill out all spent time on customer projects - with online tracking or manual entering. Also quick possibility to track driving and expenses. I use it everyday and is in integrated routine of working.At billing time it will generate invoice drafts and seamlessly transfer them to my financial system.It's one of the most imporant softwares that I use.

Cons:

Timelog has quite som functionality and I use only a bit and sometimes am overwhelmed. Sometimes could be more helpful/intuitive on processes support instead of focusing on objects (i.e. if i need a new project let me start there, select/add customer, time rates, etc. and ask if it should create a new customer in the finance system, so the whole setup is done at once and ready for tracking and billing).The mobile app is still a struggle as it needs to be killed first nearly everytime it wakes up before it can load the company data.

Ease of use. Good integration with Jira.

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: we use this for time and finance management AFAIK. Checking overtime and registering vacation time.

Pros:

Easy to track and manage timelogging that is outside of our jira scope. Easy to use when you have holidays and vacations to track. It also makes it possible to see accumulated overtime.

Cons:

I wish there was an option to see accumulated overtime without having to load the calendar for several months back.

Pros and cons

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Good for time tracking, although more features are desirable. The system is clearly not developed for consultancy firms that need to invoice time and material, disbursements, official fees and other costs in the same invoice. I think for other companies selling goods, it is a good system that works well in many ways.

Pros:

Easy to make a single invoice, easy to track time in the time sheet, WIP overview

Cons:

It's very difficult to have even smaller customisations, it took nearly two years to develop a new invoice template which then still needs manual editing as some lines cannot be transferred to Economics. The specification only comes in one format and apparently it's impossible to develop a new (additional) format. You cannot change debtor on a project once a time registration has been made (would be good so you don't have to create new projects). Too many bugs appearing. After 3 years we still experience new bugs we never saw before.

Overall quite good

3.0 2 years ago

Pros:

I really like the entry level costs as they were when we entered several years ago. I have no clue if it still offer the same entry level.Support has always been fast to reply and the operator has always been able to either answer by themselves or request immediate help from back office.

Cons:

The entry level subsribtion has an odd limitation: currency. You can only use 1 currency at entry level. In other words, TimeLog thinks that the fact that you do business with companies that runs on a different currency or are operating from abroad, means that our company must be wealthy.

Very useful tool to have

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Saves a lot of time for managing projects. But, the invoice should be better. There are a few problems which needs to be solved. Apart from that, its a good product to have.

Pros:

The reporting about individuals is great.

Cons:

The customer support is the worst. Have to leave a message at zendesk. Then they will reply on their convenient time. As we are paying pro level price, so we demand pro level customer service. Not enough customisation option. No notification system on milestones. The gantt charts is not very well thought. It should be better in design.

I mostly like the easy and userfriendly way of time registration. Additionally, i have been in contact with the customer support a couple of times, and they are always very helpful! This is also one of the things i like about timelog, you can always get good and qualified support.

Cons:

When you need to surfe around TimeLog it is not that userfriendly, if you want to see a project and how many hours a colleague have been working on that it could be improved how it is visualized and how it is coordinated through the website.
