Tick-I Approve.

Kommentare: With my busy schedule,Tick has helped me in tracking my time in relevance to achieving my set goal.It's easy to use and amazing add on for basecamp

Vorteile:

For a busy person ,bad with keeping track of time like me,Tick is the solution.The accounts and projects are flexiable and very easy to set it up.It helps in easy tracking of time by indicating the time allocated,time billed and the remaining time hense enabling the user hit the set target.It's easy to import projects and add different tasks and produce detailed time reports by company project and task.one can easily retrieve the data and add to pivot tables to graphically view where time is spent.The best part of it is,it intergrates well with project management software such as Basecamp which bring the time tracking and budget feedback into project management workflow.

Nachteile:

Though it can be manageble,i find the process of editing past time entries from any of the summary views long and tiresome.It is also slow at sometimes when it comes for updating time entry field with the item clicked .

Tick is my personal assistant. It has helped me achieve a balance between personal life and work matters.

Kommentare: Tick is good. Saves time, energy and gives a more efficient and profound results. I treasure Tick.

Vorteile:

Tick integrates with other tools so easily and blends with the working environment super well. Managing time generally has improved my personal life bringing enjoyment in everything I do since I do it at the right time not at the expense of other activities. Exporting time entries is quite easy which makes invoicing simple and achievable.

Nachteile:

Very profound and extremely fast. Tick's benefits weigh more higher. I don't find anything bad about it. It's performance is good.

Switching from Toggl to Tick

Kommentare: We made the move to Tick because Toggl didn't provide an easy way to track the progress of a project or task. With Tick, we're able to see this, to an extent, while tracking time. However, this only shows up *after* you've "entered" time. So, there isn't a way to view the "estimated" time budget, factoring in the timer that's currently running. It would be a huge, AMAZING, help to be able to see this in REAL time is not at the end of the day, when I've submitted my timers and have already gone over time budget by several hours. Additionally, Toggl has a desktop app that works really well'and is native. Tick's app isn't really an app at all, it's a "mini browser" that refreshes every time you open it from the taskbar. Sometimes I'm naming a timer, and a notification pops up and closes Tick, or I need to navigate away for a second, and when I come back, it refreshes'losing all of my information. Toggl's desktop app also reminds you to track time, when your timer isn't running, during user designated hours (ie between 9:00am and 6:00pm, if I don't have a timer running it'll remind me periodically to remember to track time). In general, Tick's design is mediocre at best. If it wasn't for the easier-to-view time budget feature, we wouldn't be using Tick in fact we're considering switching because of the lack of other features. A redesign is long over due. Another down fall of Tick, is the fact that time can't be inputted based on time of day. For example, I forgot to start my timer after lunch, but I know I started working around 1:00 pm and then switched tasks around 2:48, and then switched back at 3:32 noon of which was logged. It would be much easier to log time-based on hours of the day, like Toggl does. But in other circumstances, it's helpful to be able to just put in a specified amount of time. Plus, the hours of day allow us to track our employees and see exactly when during the day they weren't clocking time. This is especially helpful with remote employees. In fact, before we switched to Toggle, I was able to find out that an employee wasn't really working when he said he was, or was padding their numbers. But, with the current Tick setup this is nearly impossible to pin-point. If you guys want to consider a redesign, we'd love to work with you. Check us out: www.steadfastdesignfirm.com

Vorteile:

Time budget tracking right in the time tracker.

Nachteile:

Doesn't have a good, easy to use interface. Time budgets are visible or represented until timers are "entered" almost defeating the purpose of showing them in the timer in the first place. Doesn't have a native desktop app, only a sorry excuse for "something". Time can't be inputted based on time of day.

Harnessing the momentum of success with this hidden gem.

Kommentare: Managing is now simplified and all projects are done on time.Its simplicity is on another level, it's an hidden gem for experts.

Vorteile:

A very simple and straight forward software, easy to implement.No more time wasting or unnecessary events, everything is all planned out.With their app which can be installed on phones made work more easier and effective to provide good results.My brand is now known and more improved.

Nachteile:

Nothing yet,so far so good.I am a delighted user.

Great project tracking!

Vorteile:

Love that I can have multiple projects under a single client. Love that you can create monthly recurring time budgets on a per project basis as well as open projects.

Nachteile:

I don't feel it connects well to many other platforms if that is needed. For instance, importing it into data management platforms so can see and manipulate the data on dashboards.

This product help me to work with my client easier.

Kommentare: Pretty well nice, this product done to help freelancer like me to make easier on project to my client.

Vorteile:

the tool & feature is simple. the product have many shortcut for progress in project.

Nachteile:

the UI or visual need a update or modern style for the better way to many people love it.

Serviceable Time-Tracking App

Vorteile:

Tick allows you to track time to projects, broken into as many sub-categories as you need to encompass all the elements of that project. You can easily see a breakdown of your time and ensure that you're tracking the right amount of time to a day/week or project. It also allows you to set time budgets you can track against.

Nachteile:

The reporting function can be a bit cumbersome; I wish it would automatically port to Excel or into more of a spreadsheet format, rather than a long list. It also will automatically create a "shortcut" menu based on your recent entries, so you don't have to scroll through all the projects/tasks to find the one you need to enter time into, but I wish that shortcut menu was customizable rather than auto-generated.

Tick is an easy way to track your project and task and can also track the progress of project.

Kommentare: It reminds me to track my time and also reminds me about the progress. It can also import my projects and add various tasks in it. I can easily retrieve my data from it. It could prove the great app for the upcoming time in the business world.

Vorteile:

It can be used easily and it’s the time budgeting. Its auto-fill feature for finding out project is something good. The data saving method of this software is always proved too good. I can easily see all the projects and task at a one place and it saves lots of time.

Nachteile:

Its interface is not that good. Native desktop app is not available and the time can’t be inserted on time of day. People say that they found base camp and liquid planner way better than this software.

Easiest time tracking tool

Kommentare: The simple and low-profile integration (app) with our Mac users makes it easy to track time. I would hope a more robust app version would be implemented as an option in the future.

Vorteile:

I love how easy Tick is to use. The interface is streamlined for both the user and administrator. The API is simple, yet has just enough features to make it worth implementing.

Nachteile:

The software is great for freelance base and general time tracking, but not for payroll. Because of this, we use another software for actual payroll.

Tick makes every tock considered

Kommentare: Tick has allowed me to manage and track projects and tasks with ease. Overdue deadlines are easily recognizable and allow you to prioritize your time.

Vorteile:

Excuse the poor pun. Tick is a wonderful time management software used to help coordinate deadlines and and manage projects. Tick can be run on computers, phones and even an apple watch. The universal accessibility makes Tick easy to implement and easy to follow. Tick allows for "budget tracking" which helps tell you if you or your team is falling behind on a particular task or project.

Nachteile:

Tick unfortunately cannot force you or your team to do a project. In all seriousness, Tick has a single purpose and can easily be overtaken by a more sophisticated piece of software that includes project management.

I type in my time at the end of each day. I have never had any issues.

Vorteile:

I almost always have the project name in my head - being able to autofill rather than browse keeps my mind from being interrupted. The same goes for the task - autofill beats browsing all the time, but it's great to know I have browsing were I to need it (1 time out of 20). The way each entry saves in an inline container all on the same page has always been helpful. I take shorthand notes on paper throughout the day of my time rounded to the quarter hour. Seeing everything at once helps me to confirm I didn't miscalculate hours.

Nachteile:

The fact that it could be a little bit more but probably can't be. I'm a freelancer and use all kinds per studio. Tick achieves the time tracking capabilities I need at this office. As far as time tracking & reporting goes I find Harvest to be the best, you guys second. They're even simpler - at least on the the main level. You have them beat on the secondary level of autofill. If you wanted to be more than tracking & reports and included planning I think you could take down Liquid Planner & Mavenlink. If you integrated the visual style and structure of Teamweek's horizontal timeline you might have a corner on the market. You could beat out Liquid Planner (too clunky and granular) & Mavenlink (not enough specificity). I don't see the need to overreach into asset management. Basecamp is better than Liquid Planner for project asset tracking but more and more people are relying on Dropbox/Drive + a Google spreadsheet. Thus people might use you for time tracking, team scheduling, budget forecasting/reports - and then leave the asset management to the more agile Dropbox/Drive/Box world.

Convenient, but with Help

Kommentare: For backstory, my team is gauging how long certain tasks take to better forecast where people should be assigned and when to start tasks. I'm used to keeping track of my hours and time spent per task for freelance work and have made a spreadsheet where I can enter the start and end time of a task, get the total HH: work sheetMM spent, and then it convert it to Decimal Hours through formulas. I also made a worksheet space for tasks that I stop and start throughout the day, so the decimal hours are added up in a range for Total Decimal Hours for a task. My team find the stopwatch function useful and prefer to use that. I also mentioned my spreadsheet during a meeting and earned a collective groan, but I suspect it's because I make spreadsheets for EVERYTHING. I have not had to contact Customer Support, and I don't feel qualified to say whether or not Tick is a good value. I have also not used the Projects or Reporting tabs, as I have only checked times into Tick.

Vorteile:

I like the Recently Used sidebar for easy time logging. I had to re-do three weeks of entries and the Recently Used sidebar was definitely a lifesaver in that situation. It also makes checking into tasks much easier after the first entry. I really like the comments section as well. My team lead showed me the narrative I had constructed around a task because of the comments I had entered.

Nachteile:

Time to Enter (decimal hours) and the Stop Watch feel a little too specific, but I mentioned previously that I'm so used to entering something like "9:00 AM - Start" and "9:47 AM - End" that I made a spreadsheet so I could enter start and end times, get the total HH: MM and have it convert to decimal hours through formulas.

My company uses this just to track time spent on various projects and it works pretty well for us.

Kommentare: Time tracking that we can't do anywhere else on our existing project systems.

Vorteile:

Works on via the web as well as software installed on Mac or PC. For a company like ours who use a variety of browsers and operating systems, this seems to work the same for everyone. My preference is the web interface as it allows me to enter time as I'm doing it, ahead of time, or after the fact. I use the widget on the Mac side to provide regular reminders to log my time, which is the kick in the tush I usually need.

Nachteile:

With a lot of projects on the account, it can take a while to switch from entering time into existing projects to editing that project or creating a new one. Doesn't integrate with our other project software (or we haven't tried to do so), so there's no detail to the projects...just a reference to log the time.

Easy to use but painfully slow

Kommentare: I'm not sure if it's due to the very large number of projects/tasks we have at my company, but Tick has gotten slower and slower over the months, taking sometimes as long as 30 seconds for the time entry fields to populate with the associated project/task information when clicking a recently-used item from the sidebar. Aside from this, it's great! Simple, pretty interface that's very straightforward and easy to understand and navigate.

Vorteile:

The simplicity is the best thing about Tick. We also use Liquid Planner and it is so bloated and confusing, seemingly only for the sake of being bloated and confusing. Tick is a welcome, refreshing sight to behold at the end of the day when entering time.

Nachteile:

The ongoing slowdowns when choosing recently-used items from the right-hand sidebar. It can take up to 30 seconds sometimes in order for the time entry fields to update with the item clicked.

Makes tracking time spent on projects a breeze!

Kommentare: Tick has been a crucial find for me that helps me be more effective in my work and keep track of time seamlessly.

Vorteile:

I use Tick daily to help monitor and track the time I spend on various projects. I do some freelance work that requires keeping track of hours worked on a project and would be lost without Tick. I love the plug-in for Google Chrome that enables me to easily start and stop the timer without opening another program or window. It's been a lifesaver!

Nachteile:

If you want to have more functionality (additional projects, etc.) you may have to pay more for a plan with those features but it seems more than comparable with other software on the market.

Pretty good time recording software.

Kommentare: Have been using tick with my company IDL Worldwide for sometime now. It has proven to be a valuable tool in keeping track of our billable time. Things to consider if you haven't already implemented them. Have a calendar view along side the week view to input time. Sometimes when going back to previous entry's it becomes hard to look back at older time entry's. Also it becomes cumbersome when I need to input the same entry for multiple days simultaneously, it seems i can't do that and have to still input day by day. I would love to see an option of selecting multiple days to input time, not that it would be a massive time save in entering our time, but speed increases in entering time and further progression with ease of use is always needed! Thanks Much, -Travis Auerbeck

Vorteile:

Pretty user Friendly and easy to navigate.

Nachteile:

See first review entry

A flexible and reliable time tracking solution!

Kommentare: Tick makes it easier to hit our budget goals because we are managing our time so well now.

Vorteile:

I love how much Tick helps our different team members track their time spent on different project goals. It is easy to know exactly how much time was spent on certain tasks within a project. We can quickly figure out if certain team members are spending too much time or too little time on a task compared to our own internal numbers. The user interface is very easy to navigate, so it is easy to train people to use the software too.

Nachteile:

I just wish I had started using this software sooner.

VP of Sales, Marketing & Strategic Consulting

Kommentare: Very easy to use internally and with contractors. I wish it would enhanced to allow entry of role specific rates for each project and then a report to show gross project profitability each week, month, quarter etc. This would seem to be easy to add and would provide us much benefits.

Vorteile:

Low cost, easy to use time sheet entry and reporting online tool

Nachteile:

Repetitive entries are cumbersome, requiring multiple entries of same information for multiple days. No way to restrict entry to maximum hours setup for a role in a project, or request for overage. No way to restrict daily maximum hours entry.

Sophisticated applications like Tick does matter in Project Management

Kommentare: Time tracking made easy and managing the task.

Vorteile:

Adding and updating features is most important for any application and Tick does the same, it keeps on updating and adding new features. Easy to understand, use and manage the task. Ease of use what I like the most, you can use it on web/mobile anywhere and be updated with the notification on the go.

Nachteile:

For me, there is nothing to complain about it. I wish I could integrate this application and send automated time sheets to all.

Straightforward Time Tracking

Vorteile:

Love the idea behind Tick, and their team's implementation of it. Track your time from anywhere, office on your laptop, or flight on phone. Making sense of how we use our time and analyzing performance accordingly. This app is from the future, helping us an in the present. Very useful for business professionals and individuals who are trying to work and study more efficiently.

Nachteile:

Works great, runs well, nothing negative I can think of with Tick.

Keep track of your working hours for a small fee.

Kommentare: Tick really is a great support for freelancers, that need to keep track of their working hours. Tick helps me to easily log in and out when i am working, automatically calculating my income and keeping track of my breaks.

Vorteile:

Tick is easily accesible with your mobile devices. Thus you can keep track of your time even while working outside. With non-billable hours you can also keep track of the amount of your brakes to improve your efficiency.

Nachteile:

Tick really isn't the prettiest application out there. Bulky windows and unispired colours make it appear rather unprofessional. Luckily though the functionality really is the important part with this application.

Perfect for my Business Type

Kommentare: As a consultant and program/project manager, I can easily document client specific data and provide a detailed status report for invoicing. The client has a clear view of the actions and work performed; and how the time/performance aligns to their program goals. We also use the reporting aspect to document project risks and gaps, and are able to detail out how these risks/gaps easily measure the performance to project outcomes.

Vorteile:

Easy to use, easy to create reporting; easy to track project hours, resources, and funding.

Nachteile:

Haven't found any thus far.

Best time tracking tool!

Kommentare: Time tracking is essential task for our company, and we have tried so many other software in the market but nothing stuck like Tick. It's so easy to use in all the ways: adding teams, adding projects, integration with Trello, generating reports, etc. I recommend it to people all the time.

Vorteile:

SO easy to use. We've never had to contact support because we've never had any issues.

Nachteile:

The reports output - could use a better layout (or have added capabilities for us to edit the layout ourselves).

Great solution, just hard to remember

Kommentare: I generally love the concept of keeping track of time... after all, it's the modern workplace's most important asset. The product features are great: not too many features, just the ones that are really critical for me and my organization. I do feel however, that it's hard to build a habit around it. I'm currently working on several business development activities and priorities change all the time. I mostly "do my Tickspot hours" once or twice a week and it's really hard to remember what I worked on, say, on Monday. I know the timer feature and I have used it a few times, but I feel it's easy to forget to switch to a new task when someone comes to my desk and asks me to reprioritize activities. You just get caught in a moment and totally forget about Tick's timer. Having said that, if there's a way to integrate with Dropbox (i.e. knowing which folder/file I'm working on and associating those to a project), that would be GOLD to me ;)

Vorteile:

MacOS app on my bar Helping me keep track of time and knowing how much time it takes me to perform X

Nachteile:

Hard to build a habit around it Hard to remember what I worked on in hindsight - my bad, I know :)

Very positive, great resource for keeping track of a multitude of projects.

Kommentare: Organization of mass amounts of project information.

Vorteile:

Customizable for each user within a company; keep track of information easy; easy to move from desktop or mobile app to web browser; very versatile ; notifications keep you up to date effortlessly; connects to google calendar

Nachteile:

Updates come frequently it seems like, while most are good sometimes it is difficult for people to keep up with the changes.
