Pros Harvest is great for keeping track of time spent working on projects and submitting them to company for adjusting time for clients. Cons No easy way of logging time. I wish there was an integration with Google Calendar or another tool that could automatically log my projects, emails, and calendar events. Review Source HC Heather C. Media Buyer Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest for Daily Time Tracking" July 24, 2019 5.0 I love being able to track my time between clients and projects with the click of a button. There's no watching the clock or writing down my time, so I feel more focused on my work than my time. Being able to leave notes allows me to see how my time was being used and make any necessary changes if need be. Pros The start timer button makes it so much easier to track time without having to write down start and stop times or guess how long I've been working on a project. It's my favorite feature! Being able to copy my recent timesheet to a new day makes it easy to get the day started, because I know my day to day is already there when I need it. Cons Occasionally there are little bugs, as with any software. For example, sometimes my timer starts at -0:01, but it's easy to adjust.

Its a full package of project management. Workflow is simple and less time to learn. Pros I joint harvest for its time tracking ability and found it has a lot of things to offer. The first things it asked me is to populate a demo project. I was really surprised and agreed to import a demo project to see its capabilities. I am very impressed with the demo project which I can get an idea about my workflow. The time tracking is good and googles chrome browser extension helps me to work from every environment. I am now learning all the projects management for me and my colleges as this is a vital alternative to our current application. After the first login, it gives you the option to learn about workflow and application from the link which is a good and smart choice. Cons I am currently testing and didn't find that is a dealbreaker. Harvest has its own workflow and I have to learn it, which if I don't use this in the future will be a waste of time. But still, I am ok using it. Review Source MH Marcin H. Head of Product and Strategy Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ok, lacks some flexiility though" November 13, 2023 4.0 Pros \- ease of use with jira plugin - ability to set automatic reminders in case for % project budget usage - ability to set up different rates for different tasks within a project Cons \- not able to use multiple currencies, can be painful if e.g. you have costs of employment in one currency but resolve projects in different one - sometimes finding features in UI was not as easy as it could have been - lacks automatic reminders about not submitted timesheets - it would be nice if it allowed "guest account" to share with clients, so as they can track project's budget spent live Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Director Of Operations Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good tool but pricey" March 6, 2019 5.0 Overall, Harvest is a great tool and makes tracking time very easy. However, it's pricey compared to competitors and doesn't offer enough features to make it worthwhile. Pros Harvest makes tracking time very easy for our employees to input and for managers to review and approve. We've used Harvest for tracking production hours for projects as well as working hours for payroll. It's a very handy tool and is really easy to use. Cons The price seemed a bit steep considering it's a fairly simple tool. It does provide some features, but overall, it really only has one main function, and the price reflected a much more sophisticated software. In fact, we terminated our subscription once we found a cheaper alternative that does the exact same thing. Review Source Brent K. President Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does one thing well - simplicity" May 10, 2022 4.0 Meh - wish we didn't need to use it, would prefer the timetracking to happen in our project management software (teamwork) - but that doesn't support timesheets & has very poor high-level visibility reporting. Pros Timesheets workflow, high-level time spent/remaining visibility Cons Doesn't support sub-tasks, loosely integrated with our project management software (Teamwork) Switched from [Teamwork.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/120390/Teamwork-Projects/) Needed timesheets & better high-level visibility (just switched the time tracking portion) Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Content Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Harvest makes tracking your time simple and intuitive. " April 10, 2018 5.0 Easily track time, review time sheets and time spent on projects. Pros I love that you can start and stop the clock when you're working on projects. Previously I used Quickbooks and had to enter my time after I finished a project, or keep track of the time and add it to the project later. Harvest's functionality allows me to keep better track of my time. Cons It would be nice to have a feature where you can request access to projects. Other than that, I have no cons for Harvest.

Pros Easy to use time management - projects managers ses up your tasks and you simply select from a list of items (or to do's) to submit time spent. Cons Lack of features for non Admin users. Unable to see your overall time spent to check your own performance VS the project budgets / allocation. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Digital Content Designer Think Tanks Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Harvest is a simple and basic time tracker & timesheet in one" April 12, 2019 5.0 Overall a great time logging and timesheet app which is useful for both freelance/contract workers as well as fixed hourly workers. Pros Harvest is great in terms of integrating clocking in & clocking out with a stopwatch system, making it great for both intervals of indeterminate work and for set blocks. It's easy to use and to submit your timesheets. The timesheets are also easy to read and the interface is quite modern and clean, which is very pleasant. It's also nice that you can select categories for what you were doing, as well as put in any notes for each chunk of time logged. A lot of timesheet software just lets you send notes with your submitted timesheet, which means a lot of referring to blocks after the fact. Harvest makes it more straightforward. I also like that you can type in your start and end time because drop down menus are a hassle. Cons I can't think of anything. It'd be nice if it showed your payrate and how much to expect every week, but few timesheets do that. Review Source Brent Lionel M. Co-Founder Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Harvest is pretty much like Toggl" August 13, 2018 4.0 Pros I've been using Harvest in tracking time for one of my clients who owns a digital marketing agency. I either use the Chrome tool or the Asana integrated tool. You can simply track the hours you spent for each tasks that you have worked on using Harvest. It's very simple and nothing fancy. It also notifies you via email your team spent more time than the hours set for a certain project. Cons Adding a screenshot feature will be very helpful to improve the tool. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer technology consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to set up and use, but lacking advanced features" January 7, 2020 5.0 Great for monitoring timesheets, easy to set up and use Pros Easy to use as an admin and end user, quick and easy interface, requires few clicks to get you to where you need to be Cons Notifications can't be configured for a project and time off, missing advances features such as billing Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Founder Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Top-notch invoicing and matter management software for professionals and freelancers." November 16, 2017 5.0 Prompt invoicing. Ability to manage all client matters. Time tracking. Pros Very easy to use and integrates well with Xero, Quickbooks or other backend bookkeeping software. The invoicing system is well done also. Cons The reporting features are generally good, but uninvoiced versus invoiced can get a little opaque at times. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Project Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for Time Tracking" May 24, 2022 5.0 Pros The ability to track time for team members on Harvest is essential to making sure we're on track with projects. Cons There are less integrations offered in Harvest versus competitors. Review Source ysY yin syuan Y. designer Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "good website for company to track the time and project budget" June 3, 2024 5.0 Pros easy to check how colleagues' capacity and also manage different projects' budget. Cons will be easier if the harvest and forecast can automatic change the timesheet and forecast hours. Review Source MK Maciej K. Designer Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Time Tracking app" November 27, 2018 5.0 Pros As a freelancer who bills clients based on time spent I tried several time tracking apps, but found Harvest to be the best. Here's why: – They have a very good Mac app that is being actively developed, – The overall quality of the software is high and it's very reliable, – The free tier allows you to have 2 active projects, – Good for simple time tracking of your team, – Allows you to track expenses, – Provides detailed reports, – Does one thing and it does it really well. Cons – The design works, but is a bit dated, – I'd love the ability to track time on my watch, but their Apple Watch app has been discontinued, – I don't find the iOS app very useful. Review Source José Luis C. Delivery Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "First time user" December 9, 2021 5.0 It has been a nice experience but I'd like to keep on using it to find more and more features. Pros It's definitely a nice looking tool and with a very clean UI that will allow anyone to get it right the first time. As a user I find very convient that I can download a mobile app and track time while I'm out of the office. For what I understand this tool has integrations with Parallax and Slack and that's why my Employer decided to switch to it. Cons So far I haven't found anything annoying about Harvest. Something I'm still trying to figure out is how to duplicate time entries from past days. This is useful as one may have several engagements to report to. Review Source RW Robert W. Engineer Computer Hardware Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Smoother running software!" December 2, 2022 5.0 All in one great software! Well thought out and designed. Pros I used an alternate software before harvest which took screen shots which caused issues as I was running solid works. Harvest ran a lot smoother in the background having no issues on my PC or smart phone. Also generating invoices was a great bonus as I was having to generate my own via google sheets. And no taking screen shots is a plus! Cons None that I experienced while I was utilizing this product. Review Source Claire B. Producer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Harvest mad time-tracking for our team so much easier no matter where you were." February 8, 2018 3.0 Pros I like the ease of this application and that it includes a phone application. The site is easy to pull up instant personal and other employee reports too. Cons I wish the analytics went deeper to create more customized reports for individuals and teams. We have to pull team analytics manually to regularly check how billable we are. If we could do more from the phone app that would be more convenient as well. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Harvest Is Good Time Tracking Application" September 16, 2020 4.0 I have been using harvest for last 2 years. Its an easy to use application and easy to understand as well. Pros The interface is easy to use. There is functionality to view report monthly and weekly which is really handy. Cons There should be a feature to send a mail to used email id when we submit week for review. This helps us to keep track from mail as well. Review Source MV Miriam V. Head of Digital Solutions Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Does exactly what it says on the tin!" August 29, 2022 4.0 I enjoy using harvest Pros It a super simple product to use. I only started to use it in my new job and I had used other time management systems before but I always found that I never actually bothered to fill it out as I could just assign a block of hours to a project where as now I can assign 30 minutes to budgeting, research, meetings all within one project, giving a more accurate measurement of time spent. It also links with your google or outlook and you can automatically add all your calendar items such a meetings into your time that day, really handy feature Cons I dont have any cons, it works exactly as I need it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Principal Developer and Team Lead Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Dead simple time tracking" February 6, 2018 5.0 Pros Users love that they can track their time from anywhere. This is a huge step up from the local legacy system. Time tracking is easy to enter, which is nice because logging time is generally the last thing you want to do. Cons It would be nice if you could manage the approval process for certain teams. For instance certain employee timesheets should go to the department manager, not the project manager. Review Source Dave E. Managing Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Excellent software" January 25, 2019 5.0 Use it almost daily and does what it is supposed to do. Xero integration is a big plus. Pros Solved my time-tracking requirements with clients. Mobile app is great. Cons Not much to dislike really. It would be nice to be able to apply set discount levels for certain clients. Review Source LW Lindsay W. Owner Design Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Time tracking made easy" April 21, 2022 5.0 I contract for many different companies and need an accurate time tracking software to log hours on multiple projects throughout the day. Harvest accomplishes that and more with a simple start/stop timer next to each project line item. The best part is that you can go back and edit your time in case you left it running or needed to log some unaccounted for hours. Would definitely recommend! Pros This software is extremely user friendly and easy to deploy. Upon activating my account, I was up and tracking time within minutes. Every aspect was very easy to understand. Cons I have not found a flaw as of yet, but if I were to suggest anything it would be to have a simple widget in the corner of my screen in which I can easily see where I'm at on logging time without having to minimize or move a window out of the way. Switched from [Google Sheets](https://www.capterra.com/p/169718/Google-Sheets/) Ease of use and instant time tracking availability. Review Source MG Megan G. Operations Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Eliminated our previously very manual time-tracking process" December 16, 2019 4.0 Manual time tracking. Makes it easier for Engineers to input their time, and manager to view in real-time. Pros Easy to use and customize. I also implemented the use of Harvest forecast which links with Harvest in order to help estimate utilization of our engineers. Prior to using Harvest, our time tracking process was very manual, and this has really made it so much easier. Cons There are lots of features that I'd love to be able to customize, such as budget overages (automatically being marked as non-billable). I also question the way that it calculates utilization, but I've just adapted and manually put together reports for myself and management team. Review Source Elmo L. Business Management Executive Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Its the best way to manage time" May 1, 2018 5.0 Very easy to capture time from task programs like Asana. Pros It is very easy to use and setup. The reporting is exactly what we need to be on top of our business. With one view we can see which projects is over running on budget and time and which not.
