Technical Consultant Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Really good program, simple and useful. I'm satisfied. " April 3, 2018 4.0 An excellent example of lean, straight-forward open-source software Pros Another great time tracking software! You can also consider using Time Doctor as an alternative, it provides various online and email reports to management which allow you to see how time is being used. We've been using this in our company and we're also proud to recommend this to everyone. Cons No doubt, this is a nice tool for tracking time. But as per my business needs, I was looking for a tool that can also track my business sales and expenses these things lag little bit here.

It is a program with opensource and server located. Cons No visual reports, it is better to export to excel file and then analyse there. Low maintenance and development (5 years no release). There were some bugs (I did not test last version released last year), old-fashioned. Review Source RL Ryan L. Project Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great open source time tracking option" February 15, 2018 3.0 Pros Its very simple to use and has a lot of features that are able to be configured. We do not use all of them but love the ones we do use. Cons I feel like it is very easy to change your time off information and thus I feel like some of the fellow users are using it to cheat. Review Source MC Mirela C. Junior Web Developer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Not so great." March 12, 2018 3.0 Great! Pros This is a nice tool for tracking time but not my business needs. Many features and beautiful design with the use of up-to-date OpenSource software libraries. Easy to use and simple to deploy. Cons A nice tool, look forward to seeing where it goes in future releases. The new version is slick and polished.
