### "Layouts for the Payouts"

October 28, 2019

5.0

Our employees are required to enter their time daily. Timesheets greatly simplified this process by giving them a weekly view with which to enter multiple tasks much easier.

Pros

Weekly views made entering times against projects a breeze.

Cons

Would be nice to duplicate entries across several days.

Needed better project management so we switched to JIRA. Timesheets was a no brainer.

### "Mejor seguimiento y control de tiempos de colaboradores de la empresa"

May 16, 2023

5.0

En general, creo que en la empresa le hemos sacado mucho provecho y nos ha facilitado todo para tener siempre presentes las horas de trabajo de los empleados y evitar asi errores en la facturacion.

Pros

Lo que me parece mejor de este software es que yo como administradora puedo llevar un control de cuantas horas estan trabajando los empelados para su cliente, para que, asi cuando llegue el momento de la facturacion, no existan errores en las horas que se cobraran y despues de pagaran.

Cons

Cuando ya fue aprobado un dia y luego se tienen que hacer cambios, no estan facil el proceso de este cambio. Es lo unco que no me fascina de este software.

### "Great Product"

November 4, 2019

5.0

pretty good. We have liked using it and like that it's integrated into jira

Pros

I like the ease of integration into Jira

Cons

Reporting functionality while pretty good is a little bit limited. Would like to be able to more with querying an actual sprint or being able to do some simple math on fields. Things like grouping by an issue and showing actual time vs estimated time.

Reason for choosing Tempo Timesheets

it was the easiest to use and has a good company behind it.

Searching for Issues could be better Handling of Billed hours could be better Rates just aren’t useable in our use case

### "Tempo Timesheets"

October 28, 2019

4.0

Tempo Timesheets has given us a much needed overall view into our Company and helped us track where we are spending our time.

Pros

The ability to have a more detailed view point of where our time is being spent.

Cons

We do have some pain points when it comes to tracking contracts and when client goes over their paid hours.

### "Tempo may be helping me..."

October 24, 2019

4.0

I like the reports. These are very easy for me and for team leads to track the team's efforts by task and individual. However, the usage of tempo is misleading. The effort estimate used by Tempo is not basic to Jira which means it doesn't play well with others (e.g. Capacity Tracker). Therefore, my experience is somewhat negative. Should I be able to find a good reporting tool to the effort in Jira, I will probably stop using Tempo.

Pros

The reporting mostly. Time tracking is available in Jira so other than reports, I don't see much value

Cons

I'm using Capacity tracker to plan my sprints and Tempo for tracking the team's efforts. These two tools don't work well together. Moving to Tempo Planner would increase my costs by a lot.

### "Excellent solution for time tracking "

October 22, 2019

5.0

Overall Tempo has taken away a huge pain point for my team and reduced the rumbles and grumbles about time tracking significantly.

Pros

Everyone hates timesheets! I'm convinced the only way to contend with this necessary evil is to make it as simple and painless as possible, and Tempo Timesheets does just that!

Cons

I'm struggling to find any negatives with this tool as it's been a godsend for helping keep my teams profitable.

### "Good, but not great"

October 23, 2019

4.0

Overall Tempo is a useful tool for time tracking against projects, but for the money can definitely be improved.

Pros

I like that this software integrates seamlessly with Jira Core, Software, and Service Desk.

Cons

I don't like the limitations on the reporting function and that I can not select which fields are exported in a spreadsheet.

Reason for choosing Tempo Timesheets

It integrated with Jira.

### "Tempo Timesheets at our company"

October 20, 2019

4.0

We are using Tempo in our projects for our customer. It's very important to have a detailed time logging possibility. Tempo integrates well into JIRA Cloud but some of the features (e.g. tracking in the browser and not in the mobile app) are not intuitive enough.

Pros

\- Good integration into JIRA Cloud. - Existing mobile

Cons

\- Reporting feature is not perfect enough. - Usage as a user is not intuitive enough (for the first time)

Reason for choosing Tempo Timesheets

We used already JIRA Cloud and we were looking for an integrated solution.

### "Need Improvement"

October 28, 2019

4.0

Pros

Easy to record time spent. It does its name said.

Cons

Two major concerns here, one is the price. Our company has 35-40 users using Jira. However, only 10 people max are using Tempo. But the bill of Tempo is applied to all users which is not flexible. The second concerns is the reporting. We set up a custom field to identify each business sector, but it's not easy to use this field to group time log.

### "Useful but not the best"

October 19, 2019

3.0

In the organisation we use it basically for registration of the hours, we use other products to benefit of these hours. Would be nice if the company would listen to its customers and help them to solve their challenges

Pros

Overview of booked hours is easy to find an have insight.

Cons

Willingness of the organization to help and implement needed functionalities. The software does the basics, but not more than that, you need more software to really benefit.

### "The only time tracking solution for JIRA"

October 21, 2019

5.0

It's a good product and I would really love to see more competition in this space. There is virtually no competition and Tempo doesn't have to innovate and further improve the product. In my perception there won't be further innovation unless there is a new player.

Pros

It's tightly integrated with JIRA and it works.

Cons

It just sucks to review 1500 worklogs for the entire team per month without a bulk edit feature. I have requested this many times, but gave up.

Reason for choosing Tempo Timesheets

There is no alternative.

### "Tempo user and admin"

November 4, 2019

4.0

we use tempo to plan out future projects and evaluate where employees time is being sent. this has helped managers plan for future projects and availability for employees.

Pros

This software is easy to navigate and set up for our team. end users have been able to use without much help.

Cons

there is no option to to turn off the submit your time - we don't use that feature, but it would be nice to not have "submit your time" we get a lot of questions about it.

### "Well made and useful timekeeping software"

October 24, 2019

4.0

Pros

For the most part Tempo is trouble-free. It allows users to log their time against JIRA issues and managers to build reports based on that data. It's largely intuituve and has few "gotchas". Users don't need to bother administrators much. We've had very few problems. Support is good.

Cons

I feel they've tried to make it too sophisticated in places when most people want only very basic functionality.

### "Tempo as time sheet for SW developers"

October 24, 2019

4.0

Easy time reports for users, easy build-in reports for managers.

Pros

We use Tempo as a timesheet for our SW developers. About 250 developers use it to report time tracking. The most I like with Tempo is the easy option to get reports, from user reports to team reports.

Cons

Upgrade to the Tempo App may not go smooth and lose some features. Need more backward compatibility when upgrading to a new version.

### "Great for running Professional Services software delivery teams"

October 23, 2019

5.0

Pros

Tempo is directly integrated with Jira - so super easy to use and a seamless part of the team's daily workflow. Hours are tracked against tasks, epics, projects and accounts - which makes it really easy to get the reporting data I need.

Cons

The only thing really missing for me is pulling advanced financial reports based on the type of billing model I'm using for a client or project. I still need to pull the data and then run pivots and additional calculations to get what I need - but I understand this is on Tempo's product roadmap.

### "Very feature rich time tracking for JIRA"

October 23, 2019

5.0

I use this every day for tracking my time and billing clients. It's indispensible to my business and saves me tons of time.

Pros

Easy to use, feature rich, great analysis and charts, integrates almost completely.

Cons

Besides using sprints, hard to export a quote. Sometimes estimates displayed in cards aren't accurate. Wish there was a way to connect it with Intuit or PayPal products for estimating and billing.

Pros

The reporting by JQL filters is extremely valuable to us Integration with Jira and ease of time logging directly in Jira Integration with Chronos

Cons

User Management and groups seems a bit clunky I wish I could share reports to other users I would like to be able to show different time entry screens to different groups - maybe that is possible, but I haven't found how

### "Great timesheet integration with Atlassian Stack"

October 23, 2019

5.0

Tempo Timesheets allows us to manage both our project progress monitoring and billing in one integrated package. As a developer, being able to enter my time for work without leaving my IDE is fantastic and makes it easy to ensure that real work done converts to jobs being billed.

Pros

\* The integration with the Atlassian stack \* The reporting \* The ease of logging time (via web or even git comments!)

Cons

\* It's a reasonable amount of work to set up a new customer \* There's no API link into Xero Accounting

### "Just ok"

October 18, 2019

2.0

Pros

It tracks time by issue and outputs the data into reports that are mostly usable.

Cons

It’s slow. Despite me always selecting things like grid view, etc., it often reverts back to other views I don’t use. Timesheets always default to displaying the entire current month - even when it’s the first day of the month.
