Chose Journyx
This would be good for a small company who does not want to build their own time submission system. The interface is fairly dated, but we are quite familiar with it, so that is not really a negative for our company. The primary feature we struggle with most is the inability to …

Sage 300 ERP (Accpac) Timesheet module. Both are very good and I didn't make the decision. But thePC requirements are much less for Journyx.
Chose Journyx
Journyx is easy to use - intuitive with customizable drop down menus and with multiple report options, useful for a variety of purposes.

Toggl is nicer as far as full capability and additional features, but QuickBook's time is built right in, which makes it nice not to have to go between multiple interfaces. As someone who jumps between programs all day, it is nice to stay within one to complete multiple …

we selected the product based on compatibility, but the consistent glitches outweigh any positives.

We selected QuickBooks Time over Smartsheet or Timesheets.com for numerous reasons. In regards to Timesheets.com, we needed additional features that Timesheets.com couldn't offer like real-time visuals on each employee and email notifications when changes were made. In regards …

I unfortunately do not have experience with other employee timekeeping systems.

The cost is better. We are a nonprofit organization. We don’t need a bunch of bells and whistles. We need affordability. We run on a tight budget. Bamboo, from research looked great but TSheets offered exactly what we needed at a fair price.
Chose QuickBooks Time
We are currently switching to Jira for our time tracking as we've moved into using it heavily to the point where we can estimate well enough time spent for our purposes (government grants). For a contractor or team working on billable hours, TSheets would be superior. For a …
Chose QuickBooks Time
We used to do all of our scheduling manually or in archaic software that wasn't user-friendly. We researched other software and found that this was going to meet our needs most comprehensively. Staff used to track their hours on a notepad on their phone or on an excel …
Chose QuickBooks Time
We'd used Freshbooks for a bit, but it wasn't comprehensive enough for all the various project types and time tracking needs we have. Harvest we considered due to its integration with Asana, but our Asana projects don't always line up with how we need to track and bill time. …
Chose QuickBooks Time
TSheets just seemed like the best bang for our buck. It had all the resources we were looking for, great reviews online, and the best customer service out of all of the options we researched. It was important to us to find a program that would be able to smoothly integrate …
Chose QuickBooks Time
As TSheets is web-based, it alllowed us to more easily manage our field technicians. There is always the slight concern that the internet may not be available, or TSheets servers may be down, but so far in the last few years, it has been stable and seen good function and …
Chose QuickBooks Time
Paymo had a better UI but TSheets is more versatile.
Chose QuickBooks Time
Besides Intuit Payroll (Sage), the only program I've used is WorkBrain through Menards, and it's more as a scheduling guideline for management, employees don't use it to punch in or out or record hours. However, WorkBrain does show scheduling and it matches with a punch clock …
Chose QuickBooks Time
None of the other systems we looked at provided us with the functionality that we needed and were looking for. Everything that we considered, from using an Excel spreadsheet to software products that were supposedly easy to use, provided us with what we needed...that being …
Chose QuickBooks Time
TSheets' ease of use for all and ease of syncing with other software really makes it stand out from other similar systems. It is also considerably affordable despite all that it offers to the company. Their customer service is also very helpful and they are available via email, …
Chose QuickBooks Time
We have not tried another solution other than an old-fashioned Excel spreadsheet. This is a superior product compared to Excel.
Chose QuickBooks Time
The only other option any of my clients have done in the past is paper time sheets and that was horrible.
Chose QuickBooks Time
We looked hard at Exaktime, but they are more costly, and do not have a scheduling feature.
Chose QuickBooks Time
Procas is very cumbersome and much of the configuration/setup cannot be done via web browser. Procas is expensive. Procas support is not 24x7 nor is support more than 8 hours. Deltek is expensive.
Chose QuickBooks Time
I've not tried any others because TSheets is almost perfect.
Chose QuickBooks Time
We used a tracking program called OL Time. It has tremendous functionality and reports capabilities but it doesn't integrate with accounting software and has no tablet/phone interface that I'm aware of, nor is it live tracking.
Chose QuickBooks Time
This is solely based on support, as TSheets support blows these other two out of the water. I HATE online chats from a support standpoint, but TSheets has surprised me each time with the clarity and timeliness of response.

Our director of research utilized this software at another facility and implemented it here due to the success of data capture from his other hospital. We were very fortunate that he had already knowledge about the system and we were able to implement it our institution very quickly.

It would be very useful for certain remote jobs that require a high level of presence, as in the case of web development, or remote maintenance sessions, so that when reviewing the work data it is possible to ensure that there will be no failures. By being able to include files in the management, from the equipment tab, it is possible to fully control the hours in which each change in these files were made.

Pros
  • Reporting of time - I know when I pull reports for each employee/contractor that I will have information at the touch of my fingertips.
  • Creating new users - is very easy.
  • Entering time - is easy for even the first time user

  • Allows tracking for billable items.
  • Easy for users to modify their time cards.
  • Very user-friendly for all employees. The employee age ranges from 20 years old to 65 years old.
  • Easily accessible with an app on a tablet/smartphone or at home on a desktop; people can use it anywhere!
  • Responsive and helpful customer service representatives whenever there are issues.

Cons
  • There is a LOT of functionality, including a many functions that we don't ever use. If there were some way to set up a "dashboard" of only the functions we need, it might be a little easier to navigate some of the management and reporting areas.
  • Initial setup can be daunting, particularly for a larger company using a lot of functionality. Its been a long time since we've been through that, but the initial training and support has to be robust, comprehensive and very clear. (However, I can't say that it isn't now)

  • I would like to see more functionality around rounding of time.
  • In the Report Filters, I don't find the "Customer" selection process easy to use.
  • Without "archiving employees" I'd like to see another way to get employees from showing in the selection list...maybe an "inactive" code.

All depending on cost for renewal. This is very expensive as a reporting tool, as we do not recover the cost through billing

TSheets tech support people, like Shawn Sommer, from Tsheets. She has been instrumental, after terminating the person in charge of TSheets I was left with a learning curve too high to climb but after 10 mins of her instructions I was able to make payroll in no time. She cleared all errors that nobody had fixed before.
TSheets is not a vendor for me, TSheets is my partner in business. Thank you TSheets.

Back end, administration or set up on the software.

Overall good product. I think some integration issues that are probably on the way would give it a higher score. Easy to use, easy to see how well it connects to current book keeping software we use, and would be easy to adopt by someone who is a QuickBook user that has billable clients or just wants that metric to see how their time is allocated.

I have never failed to have an issue resolved within minutes of contacting Support. Jen D recently assisted my with an export issue and I was back on track in less the 10 minutes. She was knowledgable and thought about the current and future contexts of the issue and assured there would be no recurrence next payroll.

We used to do all of our scheduling manually or in archaic software that wasn't user-friendly. We researched other software and found that this was going to meet our needs most comprehensively. Staff used to track their hours on a notepad on their phone or on an excel spreadsheet. There was really nothing else available to us that did what TSheets could do and the price fit in our budget. We have been very happy with our decision!

Return on Investment
  • Easier and more efficient cost fund allocation.
  • Requires employee time reporting on activity, cost center and other custom fields synced with payroll so records are submitted, reviewed and approved every two weeks.
  • Funders are confident in our ability to appropriately allocate funds.

  • Helps to ensure that employees are being held accountable for their clocked in time and allows us to clock them out if we see they're not where they say they are, saving us money.
  • Decreases time our staffing coordinator has to spend on inputting times after events - when managers can clock staff in and out during the event, it allows our staffing coordinator to use their office time more effectively.
