Efficient and well-integrated time-tracker tool
Reviewed on 1/09/2024
Pros
The best thing about Harvest for me is how it well it can be integrated with other tools, so you can log your time from anywhere.
Cons
The only thing I don’t really like about Harvest is that it’s quite pricey.
Response from Harvest

It provided a platform for time entry, but due to the lack of user buy in, I don't think it provided accurate time entry.
Pros
Harvest was able to produce reporting that we could use for capturing capitalizable time and it was easy to update cost rates.
Cons
Time entry was difficult to do quickly, due to difficulties selecting the correct projects, etc. The reporting was outdated (the file would be sent to your email; you weren't able to just download the file at the time of export). It was difficult to identify the role of the various users without clicking into their profile.
Response from Harvest
We're sorry Harvest didn't work for your team, and we appreciate you taking the time to share these pain points! I've noted your feedback for the rest of the team.

Very positive so far, took half a day to fully set up my team and projects to start to use it. I'm sure with time we will find more ways to improve how we used it, but so far it's been clear how to do everything without needing to call on the support team.
Pros
Quick and easy to set up, you can bulk upload basic information on projects and clients to get you started. It's biggest selling point for me was it's simplicity and ease of use for time and project tracking.
Cons
Would be beneficial to have different commercials to offer not just seats but site or org based.

Relatively intuitive time-tracking and reporting software. Just have to remind myself sometimes to clock out when I'm switching projects or ending work for the day.
Pros
I like drilling down to specific details about a project while tracking my time; Harvest lets me bill to a project and add auto-populated info about what I'm working on so I can report this info to clients.
The mobile app ran well on my Android phone and was helpful away from my desk.
Cons
I had to manually round my time (our organization bills in increments). This would be a helpful feature if Harvest could do this automatically.

Good news! Harvest does allow you to manually enter time instead of running a live timer, if you prefer. Check out this article to see how: http://bit.ly/3AeUdlw. And if you still need help don’t hesitate to reach out to support at [email protected].

I have used Harvest software for project management and time tracking purposes. One of the key features that I found useful is the time tracking function, which allowed me to track the time spent on tasks, projects, and clients. This helped me to manage my time more efficiently and accurately bill my clients.In addition, I have also used the project management feature, which enabled me to create tasks, assign them to team members, set due dates, and track progress. This helped me to stay on top of my projects and ensure that tasks were completed on time.I have also used the invoicing feature, which allowed me to create and send invoices to clients based on the time spent on tasks. The software also provided the option to set up recurring invoices and track payment status, which made invoicing more efficient and streamlined.
Pros
1.Time tracking: Harvest is particularly effective at tracking time for individuals and teams, providing users with detailed reports that help them manage their time more effectively.2.Project management: Harvest's project management features are powerful and user-friendly, allowing users to easily collaborate and manage tasks across multiple projects.3.Invoicing and payments: Harvest streamlines the invoicing process, making it easy to send invoices to clients and track payments.4.Integration: Harvest integrates with a wide range of other software and tools, including accounting and CRM systems, which can help businesses manage their operations more efficiently.
Cons
1.Pricing: Harvest can be expensive for businesses that need to use multiple features or have a larger team.2.Limited customization: Some users may find that Harvest's features are too rigid and don't allow for enough customization to meet their specific needs.3.Reporting limitations: While Harvest provides detailed reports, some users may find that the reporting functionality is limited in certain areas.

I've been using Harvest for nearly 10 years now. I love that it's feature-rich without being overcomplicated. I couldn't be happier.
Pros
Harvest is affordable, but so feature rich and easy to use. I can track my time (I actually integrate with Timeular for this, but tracking directly in Harvest is easy, too.) keep track of project budgets, invoice and get paid via Strip integration, then reconcile everything when it's time to do account and taxes.
Cons
Occasionally I have trouble navigating to the information I want. Updating an invoice without updating timesheets should be easier.

It has facilitated and decreased the tension of submitting and justifying my timesheet at the end of the month I will be using it always.
Pros
I like the description which is being added for each task and has decreased the amount of my effort at the end of the month for submission of my timesheet and I don't need to add further justification for my overtime and other tasks during the official and unofficial hours.
Cons
There is nothing to be least liked about harvest.

Pros
Harvest has the capability to send regular time analysis reports that helps manage where time is being spent between projects.
Cons
Harvest's limited options for billing increments appears to be a drawback. Also, it would be a big plus if workers are able to clock in and out for payroll purposes.

Harvest has helped us simplify and streamline our processes while maintaining security and organization. This platform is a solid choice for any company looking for an easy to use and secure platform for time tracking.
Pros
I like its intelligent approach and the ability to track our time, expenses and billing in detail. Harvest gives us a clear view of our resources, allowing us to make informed decisions and stay in control. I also value the security it offers, with measures such as two-factor authentication and data encryption, giving us peace of mind in protecting sensitive information.
Cons
It needs to improve its ability to generate customized reports. Sometimes, we run into limitations when we want to customize reports to fit our needs exactly.

My overall experience is pretty good. I use Harvest on weekly basis and this tool helps our company to track time and then to manage the profitability of our clients.
Pros
It's really easy and intuitive in using. Also Harvest can be integrated with other tools that simplifies a lot it's using. Also weekly automated reports are great
Cons
probably harvest is a tool without disadvantages for me, but it would be great if there is more customization options for generating reports with specific insights and data from tracked time and projects.
