Overall, I find the suite to be very helpful for what I need it for. It allows me to focus on my work without stressing about this aspect of the business. I more-often-than-not trust that things are taken care of properly and effectively.

Pros

It's easy to navigate and find what you need. This is an important aspect because I don't want to have to spend a lot of time trying to navigate my way around.

Cons

One minor complaint is that sometimes my time entries double up for no reason. This can lead to confusion within our payroll department.

In the time I've been using it, at first I thought it was an odyssey, but then I realized how easy it is to see the hours you work and the hours you don't, and it gives you control to know what to do.

Pros

I can schedule my work hours and it tells me the total hours worked.

Cons

What I like least is that I have to post it every week instead of it being a biweekly report.

I use this as a resource allocation tool to manage my specific project within the company I work for. I allocate resource by hour and within a specific budget per resource hourly rate.

Pros

So far I have enjoyed the modifiable nature.

Cons

I am struggling to view or change forecast dollars and hours in the same window without having to refresh the page to switch from one to the other. It would be nice to have them together on the same page and update live.
