Crunchr vs. Harvest

The dashboard is user friendly, very intuitive. As you know, Crunchr has been specifically designed for HR, so you will save the time and risk of manually building models and reports: metrics are pre-built into Crunchr, allowing you to start analyzing your people data immediately. Also, it has an API available.

Harvest is ideally suited for a variety of scenarios, particularly in the realms of freelance or consulting work, where accurate hour tracking for billing is crucial. It excels in small to medium businesses managing team projects, allowing for effective resource allocation and time management across multiple concurrent projects. For budgeting and forecasting, Harvest provides valuable data, aiding in accurately estimating the duration and cost of future projects based on past data. It's also highly beneficial for remote or distributed teams, thanks to its cloud-based platform that facilitates seamless coordination. Additionally, its detailed reporting features enhance client transparency, fostering trust through clear communication of time spent on projects. However, Harvest may be less suitable for larger enterprises with complex integration needs or specialized industries requiring more niche features. Small startups or individuals on tight budgets might find the cost challenging, especially if they don't fully utilize all its features. Lastly, for those needing only basic time tracking, simpler or free tools might be more appropriate, making Harvest an unnecessary expenditure for basic needs.

• Consistently making updates to better serve their wide variety of users
• Allows for a decent amount of customization - you can put in different tasks for different departments, you can put in project costs on a one-time or recurring basis to compare time to money, etc.
• It's pretty easy to pull customizable reports to fit what data you want to look at.

• Crunchr takes a little while to get set up which can set a fast moving business back a little bit.
• Crunchr doesn't automatically import/translate data from all existing systems when you're onboarding as a new client, so there seems to be a great deal of manual entry at the start up.
• Reports sometime have a slow runtime during times of high use.

• We would love to see Harvest build a feature for more detailed proposals that could be signed by the client and then automatically be turned into a billable invoice. The estimate falls short of this for larger projects.
• Sending an invoice directly to the client from the Harvest dashboard can sometimes fail. Because it's coming from a spoofed email- some clients never get the invoice because it get's trapped in their spam folder.

Crunchr is amazing software to use, it is user friendly and easy to use. It generates innovative and customize reports that are easier to understand. This is the best to use for strategic management. It collects all the data from them organization and sits on the top layer of your organization. It keeps the data secure and is reliable to use.

Again, just a minor compatibility issues using with other platforms such as Basecamp, but it does do everything promised. The only downfall we have found is having to create a job in both platforms and then connecting them later vs being able to create a project once and having them automatically connect.

Customer service is very good and supportive. They understand your concerns very patiently and resolves it within SLA timelines. They have also created many knowledge article which illustrates each and every steps in detail to resolve the common problem at comes during installation and integrations. They also make follow-up calls in order to understand if the problem is actually resolved.

I have not actually had any customer support issues as the product just works for me and I have not needed it. So using that as the basis of making my assessment on support I would reckon the team are pretty responsive and attentive to customer needs. I have only used the solution on Chrome and Android so have no idea what the experience is like on other browsers or phone operating systems.

A few of us had used ADP Workforce Now at other places and liked the idea of an HR management tool like ADP and Crunchr but we had shared similar dissatisfaction with analytics reporting from ADP. It seemed like they were a few years behind the technology when compared to other solutions on the market, which led us to Crunchr

Everhour is just very rudimentary and ugly. It did the okay for time tracking and basic reports — but it wasn’t very intuitive and could’ve been a lot more elegant. You couldn’t edit other users time or make corrections it was just a data pull and that was it.

Open air is even worse. it’s like something out of 1985. Extremely ugly and not at all easy to use. It fulfilled the basic requirement of tracking time and we did not use it for anything else. When they raised the price to eight grand a year, despite our limited use of it’s functionality. We quickly dropped them.

• Better tracking of time for projects = better quotes for clients! In turn, they trust us more, because we're only billing for the time used and projects completed.
• We can also have clear conversations with employees about productivity and provide feedback with real numbers that the employee has control over.
