Marketing Dude Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source CF Chris F. Sr. Project Manager Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest is Easy!" 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. Review Source TW Travis W. Associate Manager, Implementation Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source Michael C. UI UX Designer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "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. Review Source MO Mehgan O. ED, Marketing & Creative Services Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source MR Maribel R. Designer Design Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "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. Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/)[Toggl](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) Reason for choosing Harvest I liked being able to separate tasks. Review Source Flavio A. Creative Director Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "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. Review Source Gina M. Interactive Designer Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "So easy, I actually do my timesheets" September 26, 2018 5.0 Pros Its extremely user friendly and easy to use. The mobile app is similar is in ease and I love that they work so well together. Cons I currently do not have any dislikes with this product. Review Source Joshua B. Data Analyst Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source Kevin B. UX Designer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "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. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Manager Computer & Network Security Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For freelancers, few tools make tracking your time easier than Harvest" June 17, 2018 5.0 Freelance time tracking, project effort tracking, billing hours. Pros Harvest makes it incredibly easy to keep mission-synced, goal-oriented time on all of your work. Whether billing hours or just keeping track of time spent on a project, Harvest allows you to concurrently and retroactively track your effort, keeping you on plan or on budget. Cons The biggest con of Harvest has little to do with the software. Harvest is a tool of habit, and if you don't leverage that tool, the value is greatly reduced. Use it daily, and it pays off fast. Review Source DS Dave S. Co-Owner Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great balance of functionality and simplicity for time tracking and invoicing software" September 5, 2017 5.0 Harvest allows us to easily set up projects, track budgets, and bill clients. No frills, just what you need. Pros They have hands down some of the best support of any SAAS company, and for a very reasonable price tag. I almost always get same-day answers. The basic features are very simple to use and are getting even more simple. I love that it has simple time tracking and invoicing that just work. Cons I wish you could style the invoices more, they look pretty bland. I also wish you could charge credit card fees to the customer automatically when they use a card (this is legal where I live in TN). And accepting e-check would be great, too. But I wouldn't be surprised if they implement some of these features, they've been requested! Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Time tracking software" June 4, 2021 5.0 I've been using it for the past 8 years, in different jobs. Always simple, always great Pros Simple to use and to onboard people Available in multiple platforms (personal favourite: Mac) Cons Not much. It could be easier to have recurrent activities to be logged automatically Review Source Emiliano L. CEO Law Practice Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "De las mejores herramientas para gestión de tiempo. Se integra con otras apps" September 22, 2023 5.0 Buena herramienta para controlar el trabajo realizado. Es sencilla y se toman en serio las integraciones con otras aplicaciones. La cuenta gratuita te permite conocer a fondo la herramienta y tiene buenos planes. La recomiendo para empresas emergentes. Pros Funciona estupendamente. La utilizo combinada con el programa NIFTY y me permite llevar el control de una pequeña empresa de forma completamente profesional. Cons Todos los programas adolecen de no poder ser un todo en uno. Después de probar varias, se acerca más a lo que voy buscando en gestión de tiempo. Por poner una contra, me gustaría control de lo que se hace en los equipos de trabajo que entro a empleados. Review Source SF Stuart F. Event Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for tracking time if you're working on a client project" January 19, 2018 4.0 Pros I use this tool every day to track my time when I'm doing anything for a client. The browser extension makes it quick and easy to select the project and record the hours against it. When you log in you can see how much time you've spent that week / month and download reports for the client if required. The whole team uses this and it's been really easy to get everyone set up and using it. Cons If you make a mistake when logging time using the extension you need to log into the interface and correct it - which can be time-consuming. It's also very easy to forget to turn the timer off so you can easily log extra time. However, they do send you an email notification to remind you about this so it's relatively easy to correct. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Manager Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy and straight forward time tracking" January 8, 2019 5.0 My overall experience has been fantastic. The free trial was great and afterwards, the monthly cost is affordable. Above all love how easy it is to use the program. Pros I really like this software for its easy user interface and reporting metrics. It's easy to navigate and I don't need to watch videos, receive training, or other stuff like that to figure it out. I'm able to track hours and more with ease. Cons I wish the free trial was longer but hey, what can you do. It was good while it lasted. Review Source CT Chris T. Partner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Time Tracking and Accounting" March 31, 2021 5.0 We've used Harvest for years and we have been very happy overall. Pros I like the estimates, invoicing and time tracking from Harvest the best. We have it integrated with Asana and works great. Cons I wish the estimate templates gave you more control over the layout design. It doesn't even use a standard editor with basic HTML formatting tools, so it is cumbersome to format the terms and conditions. Review Source Alyssa A. Web Designer Graphic Design Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Harvest is a great tool for time tracking & invoicing." January 25, 2019 4.0 Pros I like how their time tracking system is setup. They make it incredibly easy to put in the client, project, and setup billable/non-billable hours with specific rates pending on the client. They also have a mobile app and desktop app that makes it incredibly easy to track hours with as well. Cons The only thing I felt like it was missing or that I would have liked to seen was a task management system. I believe Harvest now offers an integration with Asana though for that reason. Review Source TF Tobias F. Site Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very outdated in a lot of ways" November 27, 2019 3.0 Pros Entering tracked time is very easy and comfortable. Cons A lot of stuff is outdated, like the UI or the concepts. There is no way to really manage overtime for full or part time employees. Also there is no way to manage vacations like an approval by a manager or having a calendar feed. The cost tracking is basically useless because there is no history to changed rates, so if something changes it also changes for the past. Also there should be automated reports for sending times to our external accounting provider. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Co-Founder Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Harvest helps me earn what I'm worth" July 24, 2018 5.0 Pros A time tracker that has a chrome extension and integrates with my bookkeeping software - what is there not to like? Cons What I don't like is the fact that it'll only ask me if I've left my timer running for about 10 hours. I'd prefer to be able to check it to like 4 or 5-hour increments. Review Source JM Jessica M. Operations Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for timekeeping, estimating and invoicing for a small service or product based business." June 27, 2017 4.0 I was able to easily track the time associated with projects and invoice based on those times. It was helpful to have that information not only for the project while it was inaction, but also for archival purposes to be able to estimate future projects. We had several users that contributed to the projects so it was a good tool to see how the project had progressed. Pros I like that it is simple to get started and easy to use. It is so easy, you have to put very little effort into getting started. Billing is straight forward, making estimates is a breeze and the customer service has always been top notch and responsive. Cons It is not for project planning, which is something that I think would be very beneficial. Especially for a services based company, I would like to see the ability to create a simple project with associates time lines, budgets and deadlines. They introduced a partner product but it wasn't as intuitive as the time keeping. Review Source MM Mindy M. Product Ops Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great all-in-one tool!" April 13, 2023 5.0 Overall, this is an excellent tool and if you paired it with a robust PM tool like Asana (which integrates with it beautifully), you'd have a nice solid tool stack! Pros I love how robust Harvest is excellent for tracking all project-related expenses for time and billing. I love that I can plug in different hourly prices per team member or skill set to have a precise report on project costs. Cons I don't love Harvest for actually managing project tasks. The highest level, maybe, but not actual PM and forecasting. Review Source KM Katie M. brand and Content Strategist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Works well for time management and budget set up" November 16, 2019 5.0 Pretty happy. Its very helpful to keep track and super easy to add in time even if you are backlogged. Pros It's pretty easy to understand and they constantly add in new plugins to connect to make time tracking easier such as tracking to your google calendar or tracking via asana tasks which is pretty awesome. It's also great at sending you alerts if a project is nearing too many hours per budget. Cons You can't easily find all your projects for one client as a whole very easily. You have to go through the number system they have at the bottom but if you a lot of clients in there it takes forever to find. It would be nice to have it page through by alphabetical there instead of 1-X. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Golf Caddy Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Harvest Review - Software Engineer" July 9, 2021 5.0 Overall, Harvest has made it possible for me to track what I work on everyday when working from home. Pros I like Harvest's time tracking feature. Harvest makes it convenient for me to track what I am working on throughout my work day and provides transparency to my employer on what I have been working on. Cons There is nothing that I dislike about Harvest. Without Harvest, I would not be as organized in terms of tracking what I work on during the work day. Review Source Rebekkah A. Education and Communications Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This is such a great product for keeping accurate timing with documentation." November 22, 2017 5.0 Pros This integrates with the project management system Asana, and you can start your timer within the project that you are working on. Cons The one con I have about this product is that sometimes it has glitches and will link in the wrong task to the timer you have been working on.
