### "Harvest "

February 27, 2020

4.0

Pros

Harvest was great when our company had 3-5 employees and we were a band new start up. The billing features are simple and time tracking is very easy. The software conveniently allows for more sorting and filtering of invoices that other programs I have used.

Cons

Harvest was great when our company had 3-5 employees and we were a band new start up. As we grew, our projects got bigger and more complex and our expenses grew. We tried to integrate Harvest with Quickbooks but the two softwares were hardly what I would call compatible and it made a huge mess. We are having to phase out Harvest now as it just doesn't offer the complex features we need as a growing company.

### "Simple to use time tracking companion."

May 28, 2019

5.0

For the solo user it is a very good time tracking and reporting solution. I highly recommend this for solo freelancer.

Pros

Fast workflow and easy to set up. I like this app as it helps me to get things done very quickly. When I am using a project the time is limited and things go wrong most of the time for me. This application helps me to see all my task and schedule according to them. The report helps me to see and change my work around the most effective time and take rest and give priority to my family.

Cons

I don't have any bad experience with the harvest. But I think at least 5 teams of free plans would be better.

### "Valuable tool for the solo freelancer with few projects"

June 28, 2018

4.0

Allows me to easily track time spent on project and invoice my client.

Pros

There are three things I especially like about this software. First, with one exception (see below), the interface is very easy to use. I was up and running in moments. There are also concise, effective how-to videos available if you're not the "just jump in" type like me. Second, the value is exceptional. If you only work on 1-2 projects at a time, the software is free. it's a good value for the features. Third, the features are robust, especially the inclusion of invoicing.

Cons

There is one aspect of the interface that is annoying. Specifically, you cannot create a new task on the fly as you enter into a Time Sheet section. You have to enter Tasks separately, ahead of time in the Project section. It would be very helpful to be able to add new Tasks on the fly. It would also be nice if the Notes field allowed the insertion of bullet lists (though kudos for at least including Line Returns).

### "Harvest makes it easy to track hours"

May 13, 2021

5.0

Harvest satisfies my needs, a simple and easy way to track basic hours and charge accordingly.

Pros

It's simple and easy to use and edit. I love that I can set the timer on my iPhone app to track while I'm working.

Cons

I mostly use the app, and it's very simplistic, especially creating invoices however I don't exactly need anything special for how I'm personally using the app.

### "Simple, easy-to-use invoicing software"

October 12, 2019

5.0

I'm creating, sending and keeping track of invoices for contract work that I engage in. And I'm doing it fast. No more Word document invoices for me.

Pros

I can create and send an invoice in less than a minute using Harvest. Harvest also makes is easy to view reports of your invoice history, which is super helpful.

Cons

I have yet to find something that I don't like about Harvest. I has all the features that I need in an invoicing platform, and it's basically free.

### "Easily track time on projects."

August 23, 2019

5.0

I can keep track of time spent on my client's projects and send to them directly rather than creating an invoice. I get paid faster too.

Pros

I use this software to track time for one of my clients. The time feeds into their accounting and I receive payment from time entered the very next week.

Cons

I don't have many dislikes about the software.

### "Harvest is easy to use, quick to get started with!"

March 13, 2018

5.0

Time tracking is the major benefit for me, and I haven't found better software for this feature yet. It's important for me to measure jobs based on time so that I can reflect on my overall workload and pricing structure.

Pros

Time tracking is super easy to incorporate into my daily work routine. There are also plenty of other features such as expense tracking that I am yet to try out, but I see great potential in.

Cons

The interface could be made smoother, and sometimes the app is slow to load. There is still an element of manual tracking involved and I'm looking for how to integrate this better with my business administration.

No real bugs to report unless you don't like the color orange.

Great tool for smaller companies not sure of their needs in terms of timetracking.

Ease of use - easy onboarding for teams and helps create realistic and accurate timesheet and hourly billing reports.

### "Lots of functionality. Costs add up. "

December 19, 2019

4.0

Time tracking is of course critical for any business. Harvest has a great software for this, but maybe too many 'bells and whistles' that ultimately you are paying for, whether you use them or not.

Pros

Harvest has a ton of functionality and features that you can utilize. Beyond time tracking and associated features, it also allows you accounting functionality and invoicing directly from the software.

Cons

Although there is an option to invoice from the software, I do not find it all that helpful since there is accounting software that is better suited for these accounting tasks. I feel as though this is a pricey option as you are paying per user.

### "Up and Running in no time"

April 17, 2017

5.0

We've been using Harvest for some time for the business. I recommend it for small businesses. The reporting features are a bit behind others, but if you're interested in team time tracking and getting estimates and invoices out the door quickly it's a great tool.

Cons

Reporting. There's not a ton of reporting features.

### "Perfect time tracking framework."

December 12, 2018

4.0

Pros

I love everything about it! I like the way they set up their invoicing system too for the time you track.

Cons

They should offer more integration into other project management apps, thats the only thing that is missing.

### "Great way to track your time and invoice clients!"

February 15, 2019

5.0

Pros

I love all of the reporting features Harvest offers. Its far more than just a time tracking or invoicing software! It will help your team stay on budget. Also, the integrations are great! I use it connected with Asana and the Chrome Extension so its always easy for me to quickly track my time.

Cons

Some of the initial setup with creating clients and learning all f the features was confusing. But its a really robust tool with a lot of features, so its expected that there might be a small learning curve if you're just switching from a simple time tracker.

### "Harvest: Easy to use time-keeping application with simple, easy-to-see value"

October 3, 2018

4.0

Harvest quickly came an easy part of my weekly routine at work and returned to our company some simple, easy-to-understand metrics about how we were spending our time and how it could be better spent. While the product lacks a huge robust set of data-recording options for timekeeping - it makes up for it in ease of use and in benefit that this simple set of data can have on a company looking to optimize their operation and increase accountability.

Pros

Easy to use and even more so with a installed application on Windows, this tool lets you keep track of time and projects in a simple way that doesn't get in the way of getting your work done. Stay productive and get valuable metrics on how you spend your time with this product.

Cons

There are other time-keeping applications that have much more ability to keep tracks of metrics and other important data for how you spend your time. Harvest is for straightforward time-keeping and less aimed toward the more comples use-cases for keeping track. This works best in a project management environment.

### "Great reporting options and ease of use, but not worth the price point."

December 24, 2017

3.0

Pros

The reporting visuals and dashboard are fantastic, letting you dig deep down into reviewing time tracking metrics for your team; also easy to track time according to your preference (on the fly or retrospectively).

Cons

We integrate Harvest with Trello and the way it brings in default categories/projects and tasks is frustrating (it's very easy to track time to the wrong project). Also many of our team members have struggled with getting the app to work properly (I couldn't). Finally, while Harvest is a good time tracking tool, it's not worth the price point, at the agency level anyway.

### "One of the simplest time tracking tools"

November 17, 2017

5.0

Pros

Very simple to use and have your entire team time tracking. Clever reporting, and project management.

Cons

Team capacity forecast tool is very complicated, so we ended up using a different tool . Also, a couple of the integrations we've tried don't work the way they are supposed to.

### "Great for tracking time spent on projects"

September 25, 2018

5.0

Pros

Harvest came in extremely handy in an agency setting where I had to track exact amounts of time per month spent on a project. It was easy to input the time and it added it all up easily for you for whatever time period you chose.

Cons

I was not an admin so I was not able to add and remove my own projects. I feel like anyone within a company should be able to do that without special admin access.

Positive

Pros

I like that it's easy to use. I can track time properly, add projects and clients without issue, and easily see my billable time.

Cons

Whenever you go to move a time entry to a different task, it refreshes to a new page. I just want to stay on the project I was already on!

Pros

Easy to use, I use it on my browser. I love that I am able to track all of my time at work.

Cons

I don't like that I need to have the administrator add different tasks into Harvest for me to track.

### "Good, basic time tracking tool"

October 9, 2018

4.0

Pros

Harvest is very easy to use to log time, add a user to a bank of time and pull reports.

Cons

It can be hard to segment time by task within a project, and you can't segment it out by person. This can make it tough and manual to track time by person and task. So, for example, if we have 100 hours for an account and 10 hours for a design project, our designer needs to track her time externally to make sure she doesn't exceed the ten hours. As a project manager, I can see her time, but unless she's listed as a PM, she won't have this insight.

### "Nice simple app to keep time and create invoices."

May 20, 2019

4.0

Overall it is a very productive software, it helps you keep track of your time spent, easy to generate invoices, there are other options on the market but at the end we keep harvest for a long time.

Pros

I like the mobile version since I'm able to keep track of my work time and entered easy. Just start and stop the timer.

Cons

Everything must be tracked by project, so you have to do some "pre-configuration" to start using the software.

### "Good Tool for Tracking Time"

October 2, 2019

4.0

Overall, this product is quite simple and straightforward and allows me to track time with ease.

Pros

My favorite thing about this software is the ability to choose my categories for time to better see insights into where I spend my time.

Cons

My least favorite thing about this is that idle time isn't stopped after a certain amount of time. If it has been a certain amount of time where my computer has been inactive, I believe it should stop tracking.
