Time Tracker vs Jibble: Which is a better fit?

Lisa: Hi, I'm Lisa. I'm CEO of 3 Dog Write, and I would give a rating of Time Tracker of five out of five. So before, I wasn't using an actual software system; I was doing what a lot of small businesses or accidental entrepreneurs do, which was using an Excel spreadsheet, and I knew I had to level up with something that would save me time, and would have the reports and accuracy I needed to be able to share that with my clients. So one of the main reasons that I went with Time Tracker is a lot of my clients had been using it, and they gave their own testimonials as to why it worked for them, and then I did a little bit of research, and I saw that it wasn't just a one-off, that the reviews were very unanimous, that it was easy to use, that it was affordable, and that it gave me that professionalism in tracking time, and having reports so that I could share those with my clients. So it was very easy for me to bring it into my organization and to set up Time Tracker. I am the CEO. I'm the one who kind of runs all of those items. It was easy to integrate with QuickBooks. QuickBooks is what we use to bring in the client information into Time Tracker, and the tutorials and the help support within the software itself made setting up and getting used to using it very, very easy and intuitive. So if you're considering using Time Tracker, I want you to think about two different things: number one, if you track your time for your clients, it's an absolute must-have, but even if you don't necessarily track your time for your clients, you can use it in a different way, which is how I also used it, you can track your projects and how long it takes for you to complete a project. If you do a fee project-based model, sometimes you're not quite sure how much time actually is devoted to a certain task or a certain project, and you can actually break that down within the software itself so that you can understand how much time things take, and then you can do your pricing accordingly. Instead of trying to just guess how long something will take, you can look at historical data, and then you're able to really leverage the software under how much you should be charging, and how long you should be budgeting your time to do that project.

Ankur: Hi, my name is Ankur. I'm a enterprise architect for a product SaaS company with a thousand people, and we have been using Jibble for a while. I would rate it five out of five. Prior to Jibble, we were trying to do this a couple different ways. We tried Excel sheets, we tried some email-based mechanisms as well as something, a different vendor with similar functionality, but we always were having to do either manual work in order to reconcile stuff, or it was a cost-ineffective way with some of the other vendors that we tried. I think Jibble is more than just pure playtime tracking. Not only does it have a very easy-to-use interface, but also, some of the employee productivity analysis or some of the billing features or the streamlined payroll-centralized features that it has, it really helps to have processes in and around the time tracking, and that complete package was very appealing for us. Jibble really makes it very, very easy to start. It's like point-and-click, very, very easy. Anybody in this day and age who can use smartphone can get started with Jibble. It has multiple interfaces for web or for phone. They really also come out and provide the initial help. You can reach them through chat or you can reply back to their initial email. It was very, very easy to start and get it set up. I think, in terms of advice, I think Jibble is a no-brainer if you are looking to do the time tracking, but also supplement the time tracking with some of the other features around, say, billing, invoicing, or payroll or anything like that. It's just Jibble makes it all very, very easy.
