### "Our company has used harvest for the last 5 years and love it!"

July 20, 2017

3.0

Easy time tracking for clients and billing.

Pros

The ease of use. It is very easy to navigate through and track project time to bill our clients. It is also very easy to pull reports to track hourly rates for clients and see how we are year over year. The software makes it easy to track employee time as well and allow us to keep an eye on who is not submitting time sheets properly to ensure accurate billing and time tracking for client profitability.

Cons

When looking up a specific client and adding someone to a certain project it automatically redirects you from the client listings, were are frustrating. Each time you edit one project you have to click projects to bring you back to the listings of every client and it is time consuming and i feel like there could be a much easier way to do this that is less time consuming.

### "Reliable and User-friendly"

December 6, 2018

4.0

Pros

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 have seen it used by freelancers and small companies. You can quickly get started with tracking your time and expenses, keeping track of project progress, invoicing customers, tracking invoices and offering online payment. The learning curve is quite mild.

Cons

It would be nice to improve some of the basic features so that users have more power and granular control. For example, I would like to see the ability to mark or unmark specific hours as invoiced and to duplicate recurring invoices. They have gone slightly in this direction, but it seems their development effort is mostly spent on adding new functionality such as project management. Also, if you're only using a subset of the offered functionality, then it's not exactly cheap. However, I'm happy to pay, the quality makes it worthy.

### "Graphic Designer Time Management"

March 9, 2022

4.0

I used harvest as a graphic design intern. This software allowed my boss to keep track of my work to bill her clients. I thought it was easy to learn and use and kept things very organized. Frustrating though to have to wait for my boss to input projects before I could add time.

Pros

I liked that I could input the time I spent on a project after the fact rather than having to use it like a time clock. I find this to be the most efficient way to keep track of time spent on projects when you are organized and rely more on self accountability.

Cons

I didn't like that, as a user rather than administrator, I couldn't create new projects. It was frustrating when my boss hadn't input new projects yet and I had to get her to create the project before I could add time in there. This feature should be available to all users regardless of level.

### "Great software for projects, invoices and time tracking"

December 4, 2022

5.0

Pros

It is easy to use, and my invoices and quotes have my branding and a simple design. I can use any currency and I can track the time I spend working for each client, each project and also the projects that are not invoiceable as well. I can integrate it with my accounting software and I often use the chrome extension or the mobile app for time tracking.

Cons

The free version is limited, but when you get the paid version you can have as many projects as you need.

### "Avis harvest"

October 29, 2023

5.0

Pros

The harvest software is very good software for project management. With it I save time and my invoicing is simple and fast. Jr highly recommends to everyone

Cons

The problem with harvest is its high cost. Likewise, its user interface is a bit complex as well as the reports which are very limited.

### "Time Management Companion"

November 2, 2018

5.0

I Have made Important Improvement in - Amount of Billable Hours - Resourceful Activities - Better Workflow - Outsourcing Thank you, Harvest!

Pros

I like that I have been able to track my Billable Hours with each Project with ease. I also like that I have been able to delegate those Non-billable hours and be more Productive with my time! l Love working with Harvest!

Cons

I would like to be able to create a report with Monthly Measurements for each project in one single report. It would give me an overview where I could improve my Time Management even more in my workflow

### "Great time-tracking tool!"

September 13, 2018

5.0

This is great for transparency and keeping track of hours spent on client projects.

Pros

I loved using this tool, which is so simple and easy to use. Time-tracking software at it's best. The great feature of this tool is that even if you forget to track your time, you can go back and add in the time that you missed, which has saved me a few times.

Cons

No cons, this is a wonderful tool - very easy to use.

### "Easy and efficient time tracking tool"

January 3, 2024

4.0

Pros

The initial setup and training were very easy and fast. Its simple UI for creating projects and setting and tracking it was the best part of this software.

Cons

There was a slight issue in the reporting section. It didn't provide all the sorting options I needed.

### "Simple to use but lacking features"

March 27, 2018

3.0

Pros

Easy to use interface, can set billable rate per team member, but also override on the project level. Can send invoices directly from Harvest from time tracked, and also misc invoices. Tons of integrations and great detailed reports.

Cons

No Windows application. Does not integrate with Freshbooks. Does not have time tracking reminder feature. Does not round to nearest increment.

### "User-friendly time tracking and invoicing software!"

November 8, 2017

4.0

Easy time tracking, reporting, and invoicing.

Pros

(1) User experience is exceptional. Tracking time within projects is extremely intuitive. (2) Very visual product in terms of forecasted costs on a given project. (3) Reporting is the best part - gather data based on team members, area of work, date range, etc.

Cons

(1) It appears there are multiple different funnels to get to the same information. These flows make the platform seem convoluted, redundant, and sometimes confusing. (2) Invoicing UI could be improved. For example, creating and linking invoices to projects follows a seemingly arbitrary rule set.

September 9, 2018

5.0

Pros

Very easy to work with the Chrome extension to allow our team to accurately & quickly track their tasks.

Cons

It would be great if you could setup a way to automate the reporting a bit more as we provide those to our clients.

### "Time tracking at its best"

August 10, 2018

5.0

No complaints what so ever. We will continue to use it.

Pros

Harvest is my favorite project time tracking application. The best part is that I am able to track the time I am spending on each project without even opening my browser, I do it directly through the chrome extension.

Cons

I would change anything about this app from a functionality perspective. However, the brand needs to be updated.

### "Saved me so much time and effort"

April 18, 2019

5.0

I used Harvest for a couple years when doing contract work. It connected straight to my Stripe account and helped me get my money in my bank account painlessly.

Pros

Harvest is super easy and helpful. I love that it integrates directly with Stripe and Toggl and all kinds of other services. When you set it up with those other services, invoicing just becomes a cakewalk and you almost forget its a thing. That's a characteristic of great software; you forget all about it because it just does its job so perfectly.

Cons

I can't think of a single complaint! I was never a heavy user though. I was only ever sending an invoice each month on average.

September 19, 2021

5.0

Great. From contractors submitting invoices to our own internal time tracking Harvest has been an asset all around.

Pros

It's easy to search for your projects and view the time tracked to those projects.

Cons

There is some reporting detail that could be expanded.

### "Simply easy to use"

May 6, 2022

4.0

Pros

Harvest is a great product that is easy to use. When my company still used Harvest I was always on top of my timesheet. Now that we have moved to another product, I find that it takes more time to get my timesheet. in.

Cons

Not as many features and integrations as other timer products. This may have changed but at the time I used Harvest it didn't have an autotrack feature like other products have. I feel like that would have been a great bonus.

### "Easy way to keep track of your timesheet"

September 18, 2019

5.0

Mostly a smooth experience. I just start the timer whenever I start work and end it when I finish.

Pros

I just set the timer to start and continue working. Whenever I switch tasks, I'll switch the timer. It's an easy way to keep track of how long you take doing things.

Cons

Sometimes the sign in page does not let me sign up with my credentials. Even though they are correct, it wouldn't sign me in.

### "Nice integration with Basecamp; edits are tough"

April 20, 2021

4.0

The reports I pulled, the integration with Basecamp, and the ease-of-use for creative staff (oh, and Chrome plugin) made this a great tool for me/ my team.

Pros

Really like how seamlessly it integrates with the PM software, Basecamp. A little stop watch/clock appears next to each task within a project, making it easy to track the time "per task."

Cons

Attempting to find things was rather difficult. Unless I knew the precise name, I could not find the project for which I was searching.

### "Wish there was a free version"

December 8, 2022

5.0

I had a good experience and when I'm ready to invest more, I will consider it again.

Pros

I used the tracking feature the most. I appreciate the ease of use and being able to track different tasks for the same client without creating a new project.

Cons

I wish there was a free version since I would have loved to use it until my business increased.

### "Solid time tracking solution"

September 25, 2019

3.0

The user interface looks dated and certainly needs a refresh, but Harvest might offer all the integrations you need depending on your broader software suite.

Pros

Harvest offers powerful integrations with other systems and solid reporting. Additional tools like Forecast provide an overview of your entire teams and individual tasks.

Cons

It used to be one of the most prominent time tracking solutions but has failed to keep with the times and evolve in terms of user experience. New competitors such as Timely with a fresher look and more innovative proposition are now leapfrogging it.

### "I thought it didn't get any better than paylocity.."

May 5, 2020

5.0

We use harvest as a time-tracking software for billing clients. Works like a dream, no complaints yet!

Pros

As a user, this is the best time-tracking software I have ever used. I do not have to worry about asking for a supervisor to clock me out the previous day because I forgot to do so. It is highly customizable and provides weekly breakdowns to each user through email. Very easy to use and intuitive.

Cons

It might be limited as far as HR softwares go, but for time tracking it is the best I've seen in the industry.

### "Simple and straightforward"

July 24, 2019

4.0

Our organization uses Harvest to track employee time consulting multiple clients across a range of projects, as well as to track employee expenses while on business travel for reimbursement.

Pros

Harvest is an easy-to-use system for tracking time and expenses, which is particularly useful in a consulting capacity when balancing work for multiple clients. Adding time to and tracking multiple projects is quick and painless, whether you're tracking time manually or automatically using the built-in timer. The mobile app is particularly useful for uploading receipts for business expenses using your phone's camera.

Cons

While the menubar app for Mac is helpful, there are some limitations to its functionality. For example, there's no clear way to submit your timesheet for approval from within the toolbar, so you still have to access the web or mobile app to complete that action.
