What users like the most

  • Time management tools are highly resourceful.
  • Managing clients and invoices are effortless,
  • Project initiation with this tool is extremely easy, tag people set timelines or if any project is recurring you may also use a copied template.

What users like the least

  • I generally prefer using the desktop version, but there are times when I need to use the mobile app, and it's not the same. It is inadequate in several functions
  • There are some limitations to this solution.
  • Some users may find it a bit costly if they are individuals or have a very low budget. I just wish they will add more reporting options.

Earlier I was really working hard on tracking my time in order to manage time better and meet goals. This software has been perfect for me, I use it every day and it works seamlessly. Its manual time-tracking feature with a timer is very useful. I am impressed with its lots of reports which are helpful to know about how much exactly you spent your time on a particular task like for billable and non-billable both hours. Compared to other similar tools it is a bit expensive. Its integration with google calendar makes it a very useful tool for me.

A great project management software. Overall, a very good platform which has most of the features. Easy to use for planning, progress and team communication. This software helps me with a lot of my projects and organizing things quickly. It took no time at all to set up this software and to train the other team members.
