QuickBooks Time

Pros

Affordability and user-friendliness are key factors. QuickBooks offers comprehensive features essential for our small business operations, and its cost is lower compared to competitors, even when considering just payroll functionalities.

Cons

We encounter numerous unused features that clutter our navigation experience within the program, causing inconvenience and hindering smooth operation.

Pros

For the most part this app is user friendly and our team has been able to pick up on it quickly. We like that there is map tracking and the autorecognition when they are close to a jobsite.

Cons

I wish there were more management settings for allowing employees to have certain functions. Sometimes when changing settings we feel as though they don't always update/change for the user.

Pros

Its helpful to record your time for billing purposes

Cons

It can and cannot be user friendly if using for a timekeeping system when billing clients

Using Quickbooks Time and it's integration with Quickbooks Payroll is a life saver. If there's ever a need to adjust time, it is quick and simple.

Detailed reports on employee hours, overtime, and project time.

Cons

Relatively expensive compared to other time tracking solutions.

Pros

It's integrated and easy to use for small businesses that have employees who need to use a time sheet.

Cons

Reports are all built in and can be exported but the formatting of reports that are exported makes it difficult to use them in other applications or use them for analysis in Excel. That's not to say there are not other ways to do this as there are and there are other apps to do this.

Pros

how easy it was to set up and start using

Cons

i cant really say that there was anything i didnt like

Pros

What I like most about QuickBooks Time is its ease of use & flexibility in tracking employee hours. The mobile app is a great feature, allowing workers to clock in and out remotely, which is especially helpful for those in the field. The GPS tracking feature equals accuracy, and integration with payroll makes processing timesheets simple and efficient.

Cons

The occasional syncing issues, especially when several users are trying to update their times simultaneously. Also, some of the advanced features, like reporting, can feel a bit limited or require additional customization to fit specific needs and that can be time consuming.

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Time

Pros

The quality and accuracy along with seamless integration to QuickBooks Online is really helpful and any employer would like this for sure. Really good for job costing and helping employees track their time during work

Cons

Automation is highly essential especially when it comes to manually add finance planning each time another representative is added appears to be crazy - this ought to be more seemless as it synchronizes with QuickBooks.

Pros

Comprehensive features it provides a wide range of features for invoicing expense tracking 'payroll management reporting 'and more

Cons

Despite its user friendly interface mastering all off quickbook' features may require some time and training 'particularly for users who are new to accounting software

Pros

It was easy to view the hours that all employees have done and to view on a weekly basis.

Cons

The way to approve hours wasn't the best experience, especially if multiple teams.

Pros

What I like most about Quickbooks time is that we can easily track time out to a client with the amount of time we were working to a certain client. This makes it easier to see how much time we are spending on a client and makes it easier to bill clients. You can also use a on the clock timer if you wanted to start and stop and have the exact time you were working.

Cons

There isn't a true con that I would say I least like, other than when it is a user error and you are off a day and you start or enter your whole day worth of time throughout the day and then you realize you did it for the wrong day. Now, it can be fine but if you're like me it needs to be corrected. I have found a somewhat easy way to move the time that is faster than retyping it but if there was an easier function to change the date.

Pros

What I like most about QuickBooks Time is its user-friendly interface, robust time-tracking features, seamless integration, and reliable customer support, making it an invaluable tool for efficient time management.

Cons

As a user for 10 months, one aspect of QuickBooks Time that I found less favorable is occasional glitches or lag times in the mobile app, impacting real-time tracking and causing inconvenience. Additionally, while the platform offers comprehensive features, some advanced functionalities may require additional subscription tiers, which can be a drawback for smaller businesses with limited budgets.

Pros

I love automation and being organised. With numerous freelancers working for me (over two locations) I needed a quick and easy system for us all to use to get paid. QuickBooks Time has met my requirement and then some...

Cons

Getting my staff to complete it. This wasn't due to difficulties in submitting the information, they were 'too busy' However, after missing a couple of payments, they soon learned.

Pros

I like the reminder system, the calendar is visually appealing and the end user tracking of project goals and deadlines

Cons

The web integration is complex, response time is slow and not upto the matk

Pros

I like this app because it allows flexibility in time sheets. I can request time off, cancel the time off, and it will show me multiple breakdowns of my timesheet throughout the pay period. I work primarily remotely, this app allows me the flexibility and accountability to my timecard.

Cons

Quickbooks time takes a long time to fix errors in the software. The PTO request function has not worked for 4 pay periods (8 weeks).

Pros

I enjoy using this app because it automatically links all of my clients as soon as I add one in QBO. I work on specific clients and am able to switch between them. It also remembers my most used projects and keeps them at the top for easier log-ins.

Cons

The buttons don't always work, and it can be hard to edit time. Sometimes I have to do the log-in or switching of clients twice, and editing time doesn't always work right away.

Pros

Quickbooks Time is simple, and easy to use. The ease of access is the greatest strength of this platform. You can add jobs in seconds, and make them able to be used. The reporting side of the platform is second to none. You are able to find everything in a few clicks.

Cons

The pricing coupled with their other software can be a little high compared to others.

Pros

- Comprehensive time tracking and reporting features
- User-friendly interface and mobile app
- Reliable performance with seamless QuickBooks integration
- Responsive customer support

Cons

- Some advanced features may require additional learning or setup time
- Pricing can be a bit high for smaller businesses

Pros

The UI is so intuitive, and mistakes in time tracking can be fixed by the employee up until the entries are approved on payday.

Cons

It can get glitchy if you dip in and out of good data coverage areas, esp if you use the clock in and clock out feature

Pros

Its helped me keep my payroll and time cards accurate. Without quick books time i wouldn't have my company as organized and accurate as i do.

Cons

It took me a little while to understand how to use everything

Pros

It automatically links to our QuickBooks for easy and efficient bookkeeping as well as minimizes fraud/user errors. The ease of the app is also perfect for our employees who work at various work sites for us.

Cons

It's not always intuitive for new users, both in the interface and through the email invites to gain access to the web/app. If they tighten up those user experiences, it will be an almost perfect tool.

Pros

Employees can record their clock-in/out times, breaks and what they are working on to better manage payroll as well to estimate the cost project by understanding how much time specific tasks typically require.
This provides time tracking for particular jobs, projects or clients which helps in ascertaining the progress of a project while allowing costs to be allocated accurately.
Managers and administrators are provided with access to real-time data on employee hours, overtime, and attendance that helps improve decision-making and alignment of resources.
These can lead to noncompliance with labor laws and inaccurate time tracking, which increase the likelihood of payroll-are errors and disputes.

Cons

Depending on the number of users and features needed, the cost of QuickBooks Time can add up, especially for small businesses or startups with limited budgets.
Since QuickBooks Time operates primarily as a cloud-based software, it requires a stable internet connection for employees to track time accurately. Offline functionality may be limited.
While the software is generally user-friendly, some employees and administrators may require time to familiarize themselves with its features and functionalities.
While the mobile app is convenient for tracking time on the go, some users may find that certain features available on the desktop version are not as robust or accessible on the mobile app.

Pros

Quickbooks Time is a user friendly option for Timekeeping. Capable of handling large to small companies. Its's UI is intuitive. It's customization and modification options are plenty for whatever your companies needs are. Best part is that it seamlessly integrates with Quickbooks Online or Quickbooks Desktop.

Cons

Quickbooks Time is a bit glitchy at times. The Time Kiosk option is very hit or miss. Sometimes it logs out, then you will need a code to designate that computer or device as a Time Kiosk. The experience is time consuming. The communication between QB Time and QB online can be spotty at times causing some payroll mapping problems. However, In fairness QB Time will issue the user alerts and help rectify a lot of the problems you may face.

Pros

QuickBooks Time's effective and responsive customer support is often praised, helping users to solve problems quickly.

Cons

For some companies, especially small ones or startups, the cost of QuickBooks Time can be considered a bit high, depending on the plan chosen and specific needs.

Pros

Quickbooks is the most easiest program i have ever used. I can see when employees clock in & out, how much vacation time, PTO time, sick days, etc each employee has used or has coming which makes doing payroll even easier. It also helps me to keep track of what jobs employees have finished or not finished & how much time it took them at each job, i can send out customer invoices & keep track of each customer & what they had done with just a few clicks. Its a wonderful, easy to use program.

Cons

Theres really nothing that i dislike or have cons about with using Quickbooks, it makes payroll, tracking & everything else run smoothly & gives me time to take care of other things in the office.

Pros

It links directly to QuickBooks, I can track time spent on each client and then work out profitability of client based on the fees charged.

Cons

I don't like the fact it is a third party software, outside of QuickBooks. We must export the data to QuickBooks regularly to have the time reflected in QuickBooks.

Pros

The user experience as a whole is fluid. It doesn't have too much of a learning curve. Our Part-time employees can self-report shifts from different countries they are based in. We use accounting software from the same company, so the integration was smooth.
Finally, the reporting and analytics were immaculate to monitor the efficiency and costs of our customer service department.

Cons

Their customer service is generally responsive, during certain times, they can reply late. Besides this, for our simple use, we did not encounter much inconvenience.

Pros

QuickBooks Time is frequently commended for having an intuitive interface that makes managing calendars, running reports, and keeping track of time for both employees and enterprises simple.

Cons

Even though QuickBooks Time is acknowledged for having an intuitive UI, novice users may still find the initial setup to be a little challenging, particularly when setting up custom rules, permissions, or connectors.

Pros

Being able to see where employees are in real time. Links to QBO Payroll and QBO invoicing

Cons

Lack of being able to customize. Limited features

Reasons for Switching to QuickBooks Time

Pros

This is a simple system if you're managing a small group of staff. It is evident that any volume in excess of 50 staff members should not be managed through QB Times.

Cons

With a higher volume of staff, and managing varying disciplines, there's too many limitations on QB time to manage staff effectively. QB Time needs to streamline the filters and groupings because with all breakdowns, that include additional filter breakdowns, it's easy to get caught in the weeds using this software. This opens up opportunity for billing service hours incorrectly. The addition of the random "unresolved" bugs that come up further justifies why we switched from this software.

Pros

I like the idea of how they try to include labour time and try to make it easy for the user which is nice

Cons

Unfortunately, for my team and i, it was somewhat difficult and confusing. I’m not sure if it’s the wrong setting but when we decided to move the labour time in the invoice, it need admin approval which is quite annoying because sometimes, our upper managements are not always here and sometimes our the customers get upsets about it.

Pros

QuickBooks is very good for tracking your money and keeping tabs on what goes on in the company.

Cons

It is a little overpriced after while other than that I really can’t think of anything bad to say about QuickBooks, no bugs nothing that can really bring it down. Even a notch.

Pros

The tracking system helps me as a graphic designer to accurately log hours spent on different design projects, ensuring proper billing and productivity tracking. The integration with QuickBooks for invoicing is seamless, saving time on administrative tasks.

Cons

It can feel overly simplistic for designers who need more project-specific tracking features, such as task-based time logs or advanced reporting. Additionally, the interface might feel a bit basic for those used to more visually detailed tools.

Pros

A comprehensive time clock application for your small to medium size business. Geofencing is a handy tool for ensuring employees stay on site.

Cons

Base plus subscriber fee can be pricey… and Internet connection must remain stable in order for employees to be tracked accurately.

Cons

Its superb, i have nothing negative to say the least

Pros

I like how I can track my employees away from the warehouses. I can keep track of when they clocked in without following them up.

I need additional controls to ensure employees are physically present on-site when they clock in. The system's lack of a messaging tool makes it difficult for employees to communicate on shift changes.

A very efficient way to log hours and track task allocation. The time clock feature is especially useful for logging hours in real-time.
