Harvest Reviews

Easy to use timekeeping + expense system across all employees

Lack of integration with other agency tools, i.e., Google Suite

Harvest was able to produce reporting that we could use for capturing capitalizable time and it was easy to update cost rates.

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 The reporting was outdated (the file would be sent to your email; you weren't able to just download the file at the time of export).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.

Can track things directly from Google Calendar

Wish there was an option to copy and paste tasks from other days

I like that it's fairly intuitive. The user interface is clean and friendly. It integrates well with Google Chrome. I find it easy to set up projects and track time.

I wish on an individual time card you could see what time (clock time) was logged instead of total time. I.e. see that 10 minutes was logged from 9:00-9:10 instead of just 10 minutes total.

Quality. The UI is very slick; they've really gone deep on how people use the product. Things like keyboard shortcuts and supporting regular vs decimal time when entering timesheets are a real time saver.

Some of the month-by-month project reporting requires paging through each month. It would be nice to see several months in one view.

Intuitive interface for tracking time on each project, eh? Powerful tools to generate professional invoices, and the price is right, bud

The interface could be a bit more modern, hey? And some advanced features require a paid subscription

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.

The only thing I don’t really like about Harvest is that it’s quite pricey.

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.

I had to manually round my time (our organization bills in increments). This would be a helpful feature if Harvest could do this automatically.

Simple to track time and have multiple tasks at differnt hourly rates

The reporting interface could use some uodates.

Harvest has the best time-tracking in the industry, their Mac app is perfect for capturing time throughout the day (and even has a built-in notification if it thinks you've left it running and will auto-adjust accordingly if you let it). It also has deep integrations with other Project Management tools that mean you can easily track time wherever you are. And then you have estimates and invoicing - which again, seamlessly integrate with the time tracking functionality to make your life easy.

It'd be great if they had an estimate to project function that could auto-setup a job when an estimate is approved. Currently this is the only manual feature. Retainer reports are also a little confusing as they don't obviously isolate actual payments from retainer balance updates.

It's easy to use. Time stamps can be adjusted. I LOVE the reports functionality, you can pull reports in a lot of different ways.

I can't think of any drawbacks to Harvest.

When working with multiple projects and clients, time-tracking can be a must and for me is crucial. What i like most is eas of use because is user friendly and integration options with mobile access.

Nothing yet, but would be greate to have a desktop app.

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.

There is nothing to be least liked about harvest.

It's helpful and effective at streamlining time schedules.

The pro subscription cost is slightly more expensive than other options.

The capabilities and efficiency of this time tracking tool makes everything smooth.
Harvest is so reliable.

Harvest is so efficient and flawless to use.

Very easy to use and put desription and to be paid I need to fill the harvest time sheet to send to the manager

Nothing I have no complaints with regards to Harvest

easy to check how colleagues' capacity and also manage different projects' budget.

will be easier if the harvest and forecast can automatic change the timesheet and forecast hours.

The initial setup and training were very easy and fast. Its simple UI for creating projects and setting and tracking it was the best part of this software.

There was a slight issue in the reporting section. It didn't provide all the sorting options I needed.

It's crucial to have an understanding of how your time is being used in your business, and Harvest makes this easy to do! I love how easy it is to add projects, track retainer clients, and see a project budget at a glance.

While I think Harvest is more enjoyable than some other apps, it's hard to get team members to track time so any features that can be added to make that even easier are always welcome.

- ease of use with jira plugin
- ability to set automatic reminders in case for % project budget usage
- ability to set up different rates for different tasks within a project

- not able to use multiple currencies, can be painful if e.g. you have costs of employment in one currency but resolve projects in different one
- sometimes finding features in UI was not as easy as it could have been
- lacks automatic reminders about not submitted timesheets
- it would be nice if it allowed "guest account" to share with clients, so as they can track project's budget spent live

The harvest software is very good software for project management. With it I save time and my invoicing is simple and fast. Jr highly recommends to everyone

The problem with harvest is its high cost. Likewise, its user interface is a bit complex as well as the reports which are very limited.

The ability to track time for clients through time entry for precise billing.

So far, no complaints. It meets most of our expectations.
