It helps to make time tracking so simple and easy to access.

4.0 6 years ago

Pros:

We use actiTIME for all the projects we currently have. We have few check points and we use actiTIME to analyse how effective we were by taking time reports and comparing it with what results we have so far. The dashboard contains every thing that needed to control time tracking of the whole organization. We set separate tracking for each sub groups to compare them with others.

Cons:

I can see lot of button s here and there on the dashboard which I have never used until now. The user interface is somewhat not good enough to catch someone's attention.

Usefull tool to approve timesheets and track R&D projects

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: It's an easy tool to use every day to track the time of our R&D team, so we can have a good backup of approved time for grant purposes.

Pros:

Very useful tool to track approved timesheets for R&D projects, as we need to justify R&D tax credit claims and grants on a monthly basi, so this tool provide all we need to have a good backup each month.

Cons:

This software doesn't have integrated option to manage expenses reports, it could be great to have it in this software, so the tool would be complete.

actiTIME diversifies its use, through projects and time-outs.

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: The use of actiTIME has benefited me because I have managed to carry out my business projects and at the same time, know what time I am working and what time it takes my employees to work.

Pros:

What I like most about actiTIME, is that apart from being a software for taking time, it is useful for carrying out small projects, in this way the active use of actiTIME is varied, its use is much more diversified.

Cons:

I have no complaint of actiTIME, it is a software that has never given me problems, it has never given me errors in the time I have been using it, it is fantastic because it works without interruptions.

It is very good to carry out projects quickly.

5.0 6 years ago

Comments: ActiTIME has benefited me to make quick projects in my company. On many occasions it does not give time to do the projects, and actitime serves as a rescue so as not to lose that much-needed task at all times.

Pros:

actiTIME is good in the sense that you can perform simple projects, here is not much what is dazzling design or too good functions, but nevertheless, with which it has, serve to make simple and enjoyable projects.

Cons:

If I would complain about something, it would be about design, I think that despite having very few functions, they should reward users who use it with a more pleasant design and who do not bore in the long term.

Simple, easy-to-use time tracking system

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

Actitime is straightforward and easy to use. It has helped our small organization do a better job tracking hours worked and PTO used in real time. Staff members love being able to enter their hours from anywhere using the app. We were looking for software that would make it easy to allocate hours to jobs and would not require staff to clock in/out, and Actitime fit the bill perfectly.

Cons:

The price is a bit high, and we would like to be able to pay per user instead of in blocks of five. Reports are easy to set up and use, but the layouts are not very customizable.

Simple but powerful

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

For our organisation, we need a very simple tool that could provide a rough indication for what the time is spend on for the needs of strategical planning and budgeting. Many other softwares are very focused on minute-by-minute reporting which becomes quite cumbersome when that level of accuracy is not needed. ActiTIME, though allowing making a very detailed reports, too, can be ‘stripped down’ to very basic functions that are both very similar to use for the workers reporting their time and for the administrator analysing the reports. It took very short time to learn how to use it and the interface is quite intuitive - no handbooks needed.

Cons:

The usability of the app can be further improved. For example, the timer function is hanging around all the time taking the screen space even though we do not use it. A possibility to switch it off would be appreciated.

Solid time tracking software that is easy to use

4.0 7 years ago

Pros:

It keeps me and my staff organized and anyone can log in from anywhere. The people from Actitime who have been in touch with me have all been very proactive and service oriented.

Cons:

It would be helpful if there were a way to let people know if a similar client, job, or task has already been created, so you don't have anything entered more than once. Maybe if there was a feature that made you identify a specific task (like a Phone Meeting), which could then be applied to multiple clients. This can also be remedied by strict protocols in the office, but a fail safe with the software, like Quickbooks has, would be nice.

Its a great tool for tracking time

5.0 7 years ago

Comments: We need to track hours for government tax credits. This works well.

Pros:

Overall its very easy to use. In the past we used EzLabor which was much more complex and our teams had challenges with it.

Cons:

Sometimes sorting through tasks and adding or deleting them can be a bit challenging. If you could find a way to make this easier it would be great.

It favors the project area, much more than taking time.

4.0 6 years ago

Comments: I have benefited from the use of actiTIME because I have witnessed how the way of doing projects in my company is changing, has functions that no other platform has and at a certain point, it favors too much the best presentation of projects of my company.

Pros:

I like actiTIME because I use it for Business Projects purposes, and I see that this area, the actiTIME platform perfectly dominates, providing the necessary functions to achieve a better established project and with a better reach to the public.

Cons:

I do not like that actiTIME has such an ugly interface, although it is very true that it has complete functions that complement the projects, they should incorporate an interface that does not discourage the user and that, on the contrary, encourages it.

time tracker

5.0 6 years ago

Pros:

actiTIME makes has an interface that's easy to navigate. I like that I can select a project from a list that my manager created and input the project time that I devoted. It's quick and easy.

Cons:

I find that I forget to input my time. An automated email reminder could be a nice feature.

actiTime meets our needs

4.0 7 years ago

Comments: actiTime simplified my time tracking and invoice generation.

Pros:

Invoice generation is easy to use and very useful. Reports generation is full featured and easy to use.

Cons:

Requiring the user to manually synchronize data from the phone application is clunky, error prone and unnecessary. Other time trackers I use do not require manual synchronization.

superb customer support

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I felt that it would be an excellent program for a solo practitioner lawyer

Pros:

Your customer support people were wonderful. I had a security certificate problem that required at least five emails; each time your customer support person gave me a careful and accurate answer within a few hours. And I was using the free version. I was very impressed that they went the extra mile to help when there was nothing in it for them

Cons:

Ultimately the security certificate problem was unsolvable but that is a problem with my computer

Cons:

suits my needs best

4.0 last year

Comments: still using it barely but so far so good

Pros:

free to use with 3 users, used to be 5, but still useful in an impoverished banana republic where we'd otherwise use an excel template so it saves time building and designing it yourselfhappens to suit my needs for my tiny projects.

Cons:

it's no ocular delight, no dark mode, no big minimalistic icons and text

Effective Timetracking

5.0 7 years ago

Pros:

We are using actiTIME for our IT company and we are absolutely convinced of it. ActiTIME helps to show you your and your employees working hours clear and structured. It even has some more features for a better overview so we can just recommend it to everyone.

Cons:

There is not a really bad thing about actiTIME but maybe it would be cool to have an hour-report for the mobile App as well to see your working statistics on the first view.
