TimeLog

Favorite time and project management solution!

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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!

Aspetti negativi:

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

Timelog's Efficiency for Tracking Projects

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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).

Aspetti negativi:

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

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

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

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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

Pros and cons

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

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

Aspetti negativi:

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

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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

Commenti: 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.

Aspetti positivi:

The reporting about individuals is great.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Simple and Easy to use!

Commenti: Overall experience has been really nice, i would highly recently if.

Aspetti positivi:

The time tracking has been designed to be user friendly.

Aspetti negativi:

Interface is simple, but sometimes it feels too outdated.

Review

Commenti: Not so good. Timelog is too complex.

Aspetti positivi:

When I started with Timelog at 2007, The system was fast and responsive. Support was outstanding

Aspetti negativi:

Today, I can say that the system is slow ( I mean very slow). Takes several days to reach Support. If they even reply back

Consultancy company

Commenti: Overall a good tool.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to use when time tracking and follow up.

Aspetti negativi:

It would be nice if you could make your one personalized reports. If some formulas could be used as well in these reports it would be even better.

Every day use

Commenti: Easy timetracking and thereby creating a valid data for invoicing customers.

Aspetti positivi:

Ease of use, when we hire new consultants, most of them already know Timelog

Aspetti negativi:

Hard to customize frontpage, it should be easier to have KPI's

Timelog Review

Aspetti positivi:

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.

Aspetti negativi:

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.

Easy to use

Aspetti positivi:

I like that Timelog is easy for a new user to use. No need for the user to add timecodes or project numbers, that´s up to the admin. A new user is up and running in less than 5 minutes.

Aspetti negativi:

The occations we have needed customer support it has left us a bit disappointed.

experience

Aspetti positivi:

registration of time and expenses is good

Aspetti negativi:

It can not communicate with our ERP system, that means a lot of manual work ,with a risk of failure

TimeLog Review

Commenti: pretty good

Aspetti positivi:

It has a clean, simplistic design which doesnt overwhelm one when working with it.

Aspetti negativi:

Basic stuff like tracking time is a bit hard to find a first

Aspetti positivi:

Aspetti negativi:

Export the correct data for reporting, can be a bit of a task to set up.

Great.

Commenti: Good , easy Userfriendly

Aspetti positivi:

Userfriendly also about company public holidays already incorporated in our time log, which makes us easy to plan for leaves and all.

Aspetti negativi:

there should be an option for instant feedback if we feel anything missing can give feedback or report instantly.there was something else in my mind and at present it's slipped out of my mind.if anything comes in the future I shall report it.kindly share if instant feedback easy option is already available on timing portal,

since I only track daily time, I can't say anything negative about it

Timelog

Aspetti positivi:

I like the features for tracking time, viewing employee reports

Aspetti negativi:

Some times you have to fill out the same info several place when setting up a project.

Covers many needs, not intuitive though

Commenti: Might provide help for the finance team but not really user friendly.

Aspetti positivi:

In general time tracking and budget planning is accurate and might provide lots of insights and report functions

Aspetti negativi:

Complexity by being not intuitive at all in using the tool. Most functions are not useful for me and my fellow colleagues.
