WiseTime

Vorteile

Integrates with my practice-management software (Clio); let's me quickly organize and send time to be billed

Nachteile

Too granular at times (so it takes too long to use); needs to improve its task recognition (AI)

Vorteile

In addition to its automatic time tracking, Wisetime is so easy to deploy and use. Getting new members set up to use WiseTime is a 1 minute process without all of the clunky steps most software makes you do. Training new employees to track their time is a quick 5 minute process that lends itself to earning more money for your business.

Nachteile

There is only one thing I do not like about WiseTime. When tracking time, there are too many clicks that are needed to track. While I understand the thought process that goes behind why it is set up the way it is (tracking one item throughout the day all at once), there are those that track by the hour at the end of the day. This causes more clicking and confusion.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu WiseTime

Vorteile

The best feature of WiseTime is that I can focus on what I'm working on, and forget about stopping timers or updating job codes and all the distracting things that come with time-tracking multiple projects. I like the tagging system, very easy to set up and update as needed.

Nachteile

Occasionally, there will be a window title that WiseTime doesn't pick up on. I just tag those entries myself at the end of the day. No other negatives that I can think of.

Vorteile

It is very helpful that I can access it online from anywhere so that I can log my time. The integration with Clio is wonderful.

Nachteile

The logging of time away from my computer could be better. Would love to have the ability to see it all the time away for the day and lot it all at one time.

Vorteile

I like that I can leave this application runnig on on my computers without noticing any loss of memory and processing capacity! That's while running several resource hogging apps and cloud servers simultaniously. When I am ready to open the WiseTime Console, It's easy to identify and group activities to client matters and I get the individual totals for each matter. Now I feel 100% confident in our true, honest billing. Backed with thorough activity logs, like window titles and the program being used.

Nachteile

I would like to be able to see the monthly or weekly total time kept for each "TAG", "Group" or for me that means which "Matter".

Vorteile

I could trace my daily actions through a report and realized that, alghouth I work very hard, my actions were scattered.
it help me to plan my work efficiency and it works because I can keep an eye on my daily work.

Nachteile

I must briefly rewrite my tasks for billing in order that the client understands what I did.

Vorteile

It really gives me ease of mind that if I have to jump between tasks, those task time records will be preserved.

Nachteile

You need to let WiseTime train you on how it works. The bit about how it tracks time when you step away from your computer is a bit wonky at times.

Vorteile

- automatic time tracking
- smart tags assignments
- timesheets generation

Nachteile

- can't really say anything, it covers all my current needs

Vorteile

I love that ti tracks as I work. I often switch between files and tasks and that time adds up! I capture so much time I wouldn't otherwise think to track.

Nachteile

Sometimes wish there was an offline feature.

Vorteile

Best of WiseTime is that collects data without an Internet connection, so users need not be connected.

Nachteile

The function of WiseTime Console is based on the cloud, and you can not access this module when you are not connected to the Internet. This is definitely a negative for the operation of the software aspect.

Vorteile

My team and I were trying to find an automated time tracker for how long we spend on specific client projects & jobs. Some projects are individual and others we work together as a team but remotely. The Team version let us report on the total team's time spent & activities on these projects. We also have an audit trail for any client request.

We tried the start and stops time trackers, but they all had obvious user faults if you forget to start/stop and/or the time it took to allocate time to each little project. We have many projects and needed something to allow us to still multitask and track the billable hours we spend on clients, along with the non-billables to optimize our in-office & remote team efforts.

With the software installed on our computers we just go about our normal day and the WiseTime software tracks our time and activity on everything we do in the background, love that! Then at any point, we can review our time on the online Console (dashboard) and do any client/job allocations. It has an a handy auto-tagging feature that auto tags/labels our time spent on client projects & jobs by scanning each activity for a predefined keyword list.

A nice feature for my own personal privacy is the privacy exclusion which lets me add software or websites to exclude from the tracking, ie if I'm taking a break and checking personal e-mail, Skyping, Amazon shopping, etc. It just automatically doesn't track them if I include them in the list. Gave me peace of mind.

Nachteile

No mobile app. Would be nice to have, but I'm still able to allocate onsite meetings manually on my iPhone's browser. Doesn't track attendance, but that wasn't what we were focused on.

Vorteile

I've done the research, WiseTime provides the best passive time tracking on the market.

Nachteile

The only issue I've had with WiseTime is a few glitches with the desktop app.

Vorteile

I enjoy the fact that I do not have to worry about timing myself when allocating a certain amount of time on a project because I know WiseTime will do it for me. I also love the fact that the software is integrated with Clio, our management program, to bill our clients so no extra steps involved.

Nachteile

Although you can pause WiseTime and have it start recording your time when you select maybe having a daily time schedule so when you're done with your day and use the computer without having to remember to stop recording non-work items.

Vorteile

I love this software because I can now get on with my day and I have a bunch of different clients, this takes the stress out of chopping and changing which happens ALOT. I may be in the middle of something and a client calls and I chop over to them and it tracks it all without me having to worry or billing wrong.

Nachteile

I bill some clients in 10 hour blocks. I would love an option where I can choose for it to alert me when a certain number of hours are up for a particular client. Maybe add a date and say example: From 10 March let me know when 10 hours is up. It to send an alert...so then I know to invoice again wiuthout having to continually check and then sometimes I'm over the hours by the time I check.

Vorteile

Super easy to use and seamless experience in tracking my work time.

Nachteile

Would like it more if I was able to select multiple items and accord them with a single category. Currently I have to tag the items one by one.

Vorteile

It is easy to deploy and set up. Basic reporting meets my needs for the most part

Nachteile

I would like to be able to better automate and customize reports. Also - the ability to add more tags

Vorteile

It logs what I'm doing automatically so I don't need to think about manually logging my time.

Nachteile

It only stores the data for one month.
It is difficult to easily consolidate the information tracked
The application occasionally conflicts with other software, i.e. does not allow the installation of IBM Rapport Security Software whilst active.

Vorteile

Without any extra effort the software tells you how much time you have spend on a certain project. Some simple clicks and the information is part of your billing system - fantastic

Nachteile

Truly no complains - I also like the constant developments improving WiseTime

Vorteile

This has been an asset to remember all of the things I do in a day so I can bill for them.

Nachteile

There is nothing I don't like about this program.

Vorteile

The automated time and activity tracking.

Nachteile

Activity tracking when using a different software could be more specific. Sometimes when I review my past activities its difficult to distinguish which tasks it was for.

Vorteile

It is very easy and intuitive to use.
Automatic recognition of Tags is useful as well as easy grouping and ungrouping

Nachteile

Reports should have more functionalities.
Time periods in which Wisetime is off, should have more options. Ranges in which Wise time is on (e.g. 8am to 8pm) would be useful.

Vorteile

Wisetime reminds me of every job I did during the day on my PC, and away from my PC.

Nachteile

Wisetime does not automatically group time slots of the same case together.

Vorteile

Over the past year I have struggled to capture where all my time went during the day. Being in a very busy environment I can say that WiseTime has truly been a lifesaver. WiseTime captures every single thing that I do during my work day! I use to remember a time when I couldn't even recall what I had done a few hours prior, not anymore thanks to WiseTime. I cannot wait to see how WiseTime progresses over the years!

Nachteile

There were not any cons that I have experienced during my time using WiseTime.

Vorteile

It’s so easy to set up and use! It has paid for itself 10x over.

Nachteile

I haven’t found a negative yet. Works great

Vorteile

I get to group projects and bill those hours to the correct client. I also like the feature for idle time because I step away for a meeting and am able to bill the meeting.

Nachteile

The titles for the time stamp is the title of the document I am using. It may only be my case but I use the same name for various projects so I sometimes get confused on what project I was working on. An automatic screen shot feature would easily solve this problem.

Vorteile

I've been tracking my time for years for billing purposes and like many professionals I often have to fill the gaps by reviewing my diary and emails at the end of the month. The autonomous feature of Wisetime is a game changer for me.

Nachteile

Not being able to add tags after posting.

Vorteile

- easy to use, through automatic tracking
- privacy first: only you can see what you did, your supervisor first can see it after you posted it

Nachteile

- some updates are not as stable then others, but these don't last long and maybe I'm subscribed on the beta-upgrades

Vorteile

The software works in the background and is so easy to use!

Nachteile

On occasion, if I restart my computer, I have to restart the program.

Vorteile

It helps you stay organized and you can refer back to see what you have worked on. As an attorney who lives on the billable hour this is a way to be honest and to justify your fees. Great product!

Nachteile

It would be better if the program allowed more detail before you submit the request to go to Clio -- its very limited and not user friendly.

Vorteile

The app is really fast. The support service is ok.

Nachteile

Email frequantie. Product presentations.

Vorteile

WiseTime helps me track the hours worked and the clients I did work for. Thus, it helps me record my time and do my billing.

Nachteile

Not the easiest to use. Also, does not track phone calls.

Vorteile

I love the ease of use, how it accurately tracks your time automatically, how it asks you 'where you've been' and finally, the ease of making changes to any time incorrectly tracked.

Nachteile

It auto tracks upon a computer restart so that's a little bit annoying

Vorteile

I absolutely love the fact that WiseTime automatically tracks my hours, and I can quickly export those hours to CLIO. For the most part, it saves me from the pain of remembering to track my hours each day.

Nachteile

The mechanics of the features could be a little easier to use.

Vorteile

The feature that I like the most is how the software measured and provided visibility on how much time I spend in the office. It is seamless and very easy to record time.

Nachteile

The feature that I liked the least is when a pop-up appears when I am inactive for a period of time. It would often appear when I am reviewing a document that requires focus and when it comes up, it would break my workflow. I am sure this can be easily turned off but I did not get a chance to look into it.

Vorteile

Compiling features that takes all of my activity and puts into one tracker.

Nachteile

Price - I wish the price were less given how little I use it.

Vorteile

I like that it can track your activities on your computer and give a summary about your time usage and it also has the ability to exclude tracking certain apps and can function without the internet.

Nachteile

I don't have anything that I dislike about this product, it perfectly suits my needs.
