Harvest is ideal for teams in client services businesses that need a way to track time and expenses to multiple projects. Harvest’s reporting features help keep projects on time and on budget.
Reports are wonderful and you are able to get all kind of important information to decide whether a client/project is interesting or not. Other of our requirements was tracking time.
This is inefficient and duplicates effort, but I need to be able to enter it in time blocks in order to be accurate.
Nice API, you can take all your data and do whatever you want with it. The request management system is pretty good.
The main weak point for us is not having the choice of unit of measure for times. Actually we base our proposals and contracts on days, not on hours.
I looked at a lot of other systems, including BaseCamp, Asana and a few others that are commonly recommended. Intervals was the best fit for what we were seeking.
If intervals allowed you to enter hours in start/stop time blocks, then I could skip the spreadsheet and have realtime feedback on my budget.
We generally use for time tracking capabilities only, which is easy from a user perspective. The reporting capabilities are good as well.
I was using this tool for two years couple of years back and stopped using due to downturn in my business.
For time-tracking specifically, we found it better than other platforms such as Toggl. The user experience is super simple and it's got great reporting.
I have had to go back and change my entered time because of this (accidentally tracking 5 hours instead of 5 minutes). It can was confusing to find my monthly timesheet at first.
Overall, we found it very useful as it is easy to use for every kind of business so we will recommend it you as well. Both the client and team would be saved from extra expenses due to tracker system.
The cost tracking is basically useless because there is no history to changed rates, so if something changes it also changes for the past.
I love how easy it is to use and the email reminders for when I've accidentally left the clock running is fantastic. The customer service is also great.
Either it would stop tracking when I wanted it to track, or keep tracking after I paused the timer. This could be user error, as a lot of my coworkers prefer the app, however the app wasn't for me.
Harvest is a good option when it comes to basic time management and invoicing needs. It is easy, friendly and reliable to the point of becoming addictive.
It is extremely hard as a user (not admin) to see and get a summary of this time without having to manually add it all up.
Aleksandr: My name is Aleksandr. I am the COO of Made By WiFi, a wireless network service provider based out of New York City. And I would rate Harvest a five out of five. Before using Harvest, we didn't use any software. It was actually the first program that we used that Made By WiFi at our startup. We didn't really explore anything. We were recommended Harvest by a partner company, and we jumped right into it. We really enjoyed the pricing of Harvest as well as the simplicity of use. We had clients requesting invoices, and we were easily able to turn them around with Harvest, with very little onboarding required. It was incredibly easy to onboard and integrate with Harvest. There was little to no training required. I was able to pick it up in about half an hour of playing with it on my own. I would definitely recommend exploring your needs. Harvest is a great program, though we did outgrow it after about a year, or two once we needed deeper integrations as well as a more branded look to our invoicing and our quotes. Harvest was great for the role that it fit for us, but definitely as we grew, it definitely fell out of what we needed for the company.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
