Delighted with the product and the support!

What do you like best? The ease with which we can complete and send estimates, the speed of sending invoices once estimates are approved and managing time for all our projects is absolutely first rate! What do you dislike? If I had a wish list. I wish I could have a regular invoice converted into a retainer invoice. We sometimes get these two confused. I would also like to be able to turn an accepted estimate into a project, just like being able to convert an estimate into an invoice. ...

Excellent at keeping time!

What do you like best? I love the fact that I have an app on my phone that can keep the same timer running as my desktop so that I can easily track time that is away from my computer as well! What do you dislike? I dislike the fact that I can't create new time entries for previous days without having to go to the harvest website. I wish we could this from the program itself. Recommendations to others considering the product I think this program is excellent for timekeeping. As a ...

Time Tracking

What do you like best? I like how you can integrate harvest into other programs (like Basecamp & Google Chrome for example so you can easily click the stopwatch and log what you're working on in real time. I also think it's great that we're able to pull reports by project and by which team worked on the project. This helps us a lot because then we can see if we're spreading ourselves too thin, spending too much time on one client, or not enough time on another. If we didn't have this ...

Harvest is thorough and useful

What do you like best? Although I don't know much about time tracking software, Harvest seems to be the best one available. It pretty much gives you the ability two describe in great detail and in great specifics the kind of project that you are doing and the work you're doing on each project. I also very much enjoy the fact that there is a very easy to use mobile app for Harvest, because it allows me to track my time even when the Internet isn't working, and I can also voice dictate my ...

Harvest helps me harvest

What do you like best? Harvest is a great tool for timekeeping. Harvest Reports are great as they let me see my income and time spent on projects. I also enjoy the motivating quotes they use on the timer window. I like how easy it is to choose a project and start a timer. The time summary (circle i is a nice touch too, just to be able to quickly know how many hours you have worked in a day/week/month. Harvest's desktop app features make it fairly easy to check pretty much all the info you ...

Very robust Time and Billing application

What do you like best? Easy to use for time and billing, connects with Xero seamlessly. The UI is simple enough and the reports are more than adequate. What do you dislike? The retainer feature, especially with how it works with Xero needs to be re-thought as it is a quite confusing and b not properly sync'd. The iPhone App is great but it doesn't always sync properly and one needs to be on wifi alot of the time for it to sync. Recommendations to others considering the product ...

Easy to use and many functions

What do you like best? It's reasonably-priced and very easy to use. We have lots of contractors and they use our account as well as our employees. What do you dislike? We have one small company that has no employees and I have to keep paying for the account even when we don't currently have any subcontractors using it. Recommendations to others considering the product We rarely have any issues with Harvest, and when the website does have a rare problem, they notify me and let me ...
