“I’ve used Timelive for many years across different companies. When I launched my own, I chose it again for its simplicity and flexibility: setting up roles and permissions is easy, and adding clients, projects, and tasks is straightforward. If you mirror your project planning structure, tracking becomes intuitive.“

### "Great Solution, Great Value"

October 18, 2016

5.0

Our firm is involved with managing clinical trials, and as such, are open to audits all the time. Our records must be very precise and very detailed. We needed a system that both employees and consultants could use to enter timesheets and expense reports - easily. We looked at a few solutions, but TimeLive fit our needs the best. It is very user friendly - so training staff was minimal. Set up, as in any new software program, was a bit intensive, only because we have a lot of projects with a lot of tasks assigned to them. Some of the staff use the Timer Button to record time, as they bounce around from project to project all day long. Others prefer entering time daily, as they only work on one or two projects. Customer Support has been amazing. Whenever I had a question about setting something up or running reports, they responded immediately. Usually it could be explained in a quick email, sometimes they showed me how to do things remotely. 100% of the time, they resolved my issues. I know I still have a lot to learn to utilize the program to its fullest potential, but we were up and running quickly with minimal resistance from the new users. Pricing for us was less expensive than what we were currently paying for our online expense report solution, plus we get the benefit that our users can do both timesheets and expense reports all in one program. A win-win all the way around. From the accounting department's perspective, the reporting is what sold us on the product. Reports are very easy to customize to your particular needs, for your client's needs, for auditor's needs. It definitely will speed things up when invoicing our clients at the end of the month. All in all, we are very happy with our purchase. If I had one suggestion to make, it would be to improve the documentation to include better explanations for each line of data entry. This way the customer understands not only the "how", but the "why" that field may or may not be critical for their circumstance.

### "Excellent Support"

September 20, 2019

5.0

Support was absolutely fantastic, patient and determined to not leave a problem unresolved.

Pros

Although I don't use this software as much I was recently tasked with updating from version 7.1.5 to the newest version 10.x.x - I found the process not as cut and dry as the instructions provided on the site however my support tech was wonderful in his abilities to perform an in place upgrade after the many challenges that arose.

Cons

Interface was clunky and confusing but looks very much improved on the newest release.

December 9, 2021

3.0

It was a decent software but it definitely lacked a lot of features that other software has

Pros

It was relatively bare bones but it got the job done when it came to time reporting and checking your costs

Cons

It was pretty clunky in a lot of areas, a lot of user friendly items did not exist, such as repeat time entry and other data entry points

### "TimeLive... Good price, good product, good support."

August 17, 2016

5.0

Pros

Our company is growing and unfortunately we out grew our existing time-sheet program due to its 80 user license limitation. The old software company wanted us to upgrade and pay a ridiculous amount of money every month and use a cloud only solution. We shopped around and found other companies wanting outrageous prices monthly for something similar. Then we found TimeLive. The price was decent and we wanted to host the software internally which they do offer. I do have to admit, its not easy to go with a totally different product but in the end its worth it and the software is working flawlessly. We have had some minor issues and questions and support has done an outstanding job getting those fixed and answering our questions. Very quick too which is a good surprise. Pros: -Price! You can't beat the cost compared to others out there. -Support is very good and quick. That's a huge plus. -Good product that works for most companies.

Cons

If you're going from one time-sheet solution to this one, there will be some importing/exporting steps you will have to do that takes some time. Its not hard once when you figure it out. The online instructions are sometimes vague but support can help you out if needed.

### "Small company solution for time entry"

February 14, 2017

3.0

Overall the timelive software is an okay solution to time management for a small company. Our company has grown and the software and support has not been able to keep up. We've had to write several of our own solutions to make the software compatible with quickbooks accounting software. We also internally hired a computer programmer to alter a few things for us.

Pros

Straight forward, simple, easy to use.

Cons

Does not auto-save. Difficult to customize. No direct import with Quickbooks accounting.

Response from LiveTecs

February 15, 2017

Thanks Dani for the review, we have complete integration available for quickbooks desktop and quickbooks online however if you need anything specific you can make a change request to our support and we will happily cater that.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you find TimeLive feature-rich and easy to navigate once you become familiar with the system. It’s great to know you’re continuing to explore its capabilities. Regarding updates, we understand your concern. Our cloud version includes continuous updates at no additional cost, while on-premise deployments follow a different update and maintenance model. Your feedback helps us better communicate these differences and value options. We also appreciate your suggestion around training. Structured, instructor-led training sessions—from initial setup through advanced reporting—are a valuable idea, and we’ve shared this with our team for consideration as we continue enhancing customer enablement. Thank you for choosing Livetecs TimeLive and for taking the time to share your experience. Your input helps us improve both the product and the overall user journey.

### "How Timelive Streamlines Operations in IT Consulting Firms"

July 18, 2025

5.0

I’ve used Timelive for many years across different companies. When I launched my own, I chose it again for its simplicity and flexibility: setting up roles and permissions is easy, and adding clients, projects, and tasks is straightforward. If you mirror your project planning structure, tracking becomes intuitive. The approval workflow is also a great feature—simple, yet highly effective.

Pros

Simple setup and flexible organization structure. For example, adding an external consultant using their own email address—outside the company domain—is quick and seamless.

Cons

The new reporting interface has improved since its buggy launch—thanks to the team’s fixes over the past weeks—but the UX/UI remains clunky, and the generated PDFs still lack consistent rendering.

Dear Alexandre, Thank you so much for your continued trust in TimeLive across multiple organizations—and for choosing us again when you launched your own business. We're thrilled to hear that our platform’s simplicity, flexibility, and approval workflows have supported your work so effectively. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the reporting interface and PDF rendering. You’re right—the initial rollout had some issues, and we’re glad our recent updates have improved stability. That said, we recognize there’s more to do to enhance the user experience and ensure consistency in exported reports. Your insights help shape our development priorities. We’re currently working on UX improvements and more robust reporting formats. We will update you when the time comes to test out the enhancements. Thanks again for your detailed review—it truly helps us grow. Warm regards, The TimeLive Team
