My Hours – Bewertungsseite 4

Vorteile

Having an online time tracking solution helps a lot. Then I know my time tracking is always accessible. My Hours has a very user-friendly interface and provides concepts of tasks and projects. Reporting is very useful and comprehensive. Creating reports for a duration of several years also doesn't take and the interface is very responsive.

Nachteile

I am not sure if there is anything I dislike.

Vorteile

The free version first, but I like how you can create categories then make notes specifically for the time you spent as well as add expenses. It's also very helpful to report out to my board where I'm spending my time and I can put it into a pie chart with percentages, which is so helpful when sending this data to our bookkeepers.

Nachteile

Having to use the ":" when entering hours and the terms used aren't intuitive, like I always fumble around trying to pick the right report I want or to set up new categories.

Vorteile

There is so much value in the Free plan. It's easy to use, and I like the layout.

Nachteile

I would love a desktop app for Mac please. Sometimes I forget to stop the timer on the browser. I'm afraid I don't like using the app on my phone as I find my phone distracting when I'm at work so rather not have to touch the phone.

Vorteile

I needed a solution for time tracking that was stand alone and would not take me weeks to get to grips with. I was able to set up and use My Hours straight out of the gate.

Nachteile

Initially it took me a little while to get to grips with filtering for reports but it was never a critical failing.

Vorteile

The software is so easy to use and is visually easy to read and isn't over built to overcomplicate things. I'm able to enter my time quickly and run reports and be in and out of the software in no time to make my life easier.

Nachteile

There could be a lot of improvement around the favorites. I would like to see filters, be able to reorder them to something other than when entered, and be able to edit with out deleting and re-creating. Having a synch with calendars for easier meeting time tracking would be amazing as well.

Vorteile

It has simplified and modernised the process of time tracking on projects for me. Being able to create separate projects and associate them with particular clients helps me quote for future work more effectively and ensure I'm invoicing the correct amount on project completion. Being able to separate specific tasks is also helpful. As a video editor it's very easy to lose track of time on projects, so I wouldn't be without this software moving forward.

Nachteile

I haven't taken the time to learn about all of the features available so can't say much. However the only thing I would say is the interface does appear a little confusing sometimes, particularly when I'm looking at reports for particular clients. Sometimes I have reports saying projects have billable hours and others don't and I don't really know what I've done to enable this. Maybe that's why I haven't dug deeper as of yet.

Vorteile

Time logging itself is extremely easy to use and the interface suits the way I want to use it well. Support is excellent and they always address my questions and suggestions in a very timely fashion. Their focus is on time logging and the service is not cluttered with features I will never use.

Nachteile

My work is predominately freelance. I get paid through quite a few different channels and frequently have to log my time again in other systems. My Hours is a little too designed towards being the inclusive source for invoicing. Generating reports of all time worked for a given client so that I can provide an activity report is a bit cumbersome and unfortunately, I do not completely trust their accuracy as filter options often reset themselves and there were issues early on when certain activity was excluded without it being clear that it was. To their credit though they have continually worked on the reports and they are much better.

Vorteile

As a sole-proprietor contractor who has a fixed fee per job rather than per hour, I do not use a tenth of the capability of this product. However, part of my license requirements is to keep a log of my time by assignment. This product makes that easy. I can set up multiple projects with multiple clients in just a few minutes. And managing my time recording for multiple projects a day is simple. I'd also like to commend this product for continuous advancements in capability and ease of use.

Nachteile

There are a few things that I either don't understand or don't work exactly like I think they will. For example, I would like my preplanned task list to show up in a specific order when I set up a new project, but I couldn't figure out how to get them in the order I wanted them. I should just contact [SENSITIVE CONTENT], because the few times I've needed help she has always managed to get me sorted out.

Vorteile

...is in its place and intuitively at hand when needed. New members to the team know how to use MyHours within minutes!

Nachteile

...is there but a Gantt, maybe that could be added at some point (although it is not the core functionality). It is just the one and only thing that is missing for all our project work and management.

Vorteile

My Hours is super easy to view, learn, and use. Clocking in and clocking out as a way of tracking time is easy, or time can be manually logged with a project name and description about the work done. The Reports generated by the system are well-organized, easy to read, and are easy to send to show time worked.

Nachteile

It seems like some of my projects are billed at different rates even though I’ve changed the rate and set it to be from the beginning

Vorteile

I've been using MyHours for several years now (initially free but now paid). I've gone through various UI and feature updates but it has remained a robust, intuitive, and very useful tool. I love the reporting features the most as they give me the overview I need to accurately bill my clients. The customer support is also very strong.

Nachteile

Nothing really. I've even had my feature requests implemented by the team simply by asking!

Vorteile

I run a law office (solo practice) and like the real time nature of the software. I can easily enter a new client and project and continue with detail about the task at hand seamlessly.

Nachteile

Yes, the activity reports could be more legible. The small font is difficult for my clients to read.

Vorteile

I use My Hours every single day to track the time I spend on different clients/projects so that I can accurately fill out my timesheet twice a month. I am very grateful that the features I need are free to use. Thank you so much!

Nachteile

It takes some getting used to (not very intuitive), and but customer support helped me fix the activity report to a default view so that I don't have to change it to what I need (total daily time by project) every time. I should have contacted them sooner, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was a great help!

Vorteile

You can copy from the previous week so you don't have to rebuild your timesheet.
You can see your whole week spread of projects, tasks, and time and edit the whole lot with an overview of everything.

Nachteile

That it didn't have this until recently! You can see your whole week spread of projects, tasks, and time and edit the whole lot with an overview of everything.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu My Hours

Vorteile

The reports are super easy to produce and are professional enough to share with clients. I love the way I can swap between clients, projects and tasks.

Nachteile

Some of my clients are invoiced in euros, others in dollars. Would be nice if I could set a currency for each client.

Vorteile

I can track my hours according to client, project, and task. I can create reports based on days, weeks, or months or based on client, project, or task. If I need a report that I cannot figure out how to create, I can download all the data to my hard drive and fiddle with it in Excel.

I love this software because I can do almost everything I need to do with a keyboard shortcut. My favorite thing, though, is the ease with which it tracks my hours and lets me know how much time I spent actually working today.

Nachteile

Some of the reports are difficult to figure out how to create, though I do usually get there eventually. Also, I don't have a way to sort according to the Notes, so I had to create separate tasks for each chapter, so I'd know how much time I was spending on specific chapters.

Vorteile

A couple of years ago, I needed a time tracking software. My Hours was by far the easiest to use and with the most amount of features, especially when using the free version. For freelance workers like me, My Hours make it really simple to keep track of how much work you've done, for which clients, and for which projects. It's also super easy to bill your clients when you have a thorough description of what you've done, how long it took you, etc.—something My Hours really helps you do easily.

Nachteile

I think once or twice in two years, I've experienced server instability and lost a few hours of tracking.

Vorteile

Using the browser app:
Ease of use
Excellent task management
Excellent reporting features
Great project, task setup features; fast; can allocate same tasks to different clients at different rates
Reports on actual time and Hours:Hours%, making time charge invoicing easier
Adaptable
Ability to export data
Graphical overviews, general and specific
Assists with workflow
Improves productivity
No downtime or data loss

Nachteile

Phone & Pad app is very basic compared to browser version. Use browser version whenever possible. Still, am using the free edition, and as such I deeply appreciate the services and functionality that My Hours offers.

Vorteile

I love the ease of use and how it allows me to manage and keep track of time working on various projects and tasks for many different clients. This software is ESSENTIAL in keeping my business running in an organized way and allowing me to bill people with ease.

Nachteile

I wish I could customize the invoices and add branding to them so they were more personalized to my brand. I have actually considered leaving myhours for other programs that allow me to do that because branding is a huge part of my business.

Vorteile

I like the activity review - you can see any aspect of a project and spot any missing elements. It's easy to customize reports. It enables clients and myself to see the big picture of where things are at (costs). I prefer to generate my own invoices manually since they need to be customized to the job and client. So My Hours allows me to see scope of a project and what needs to be billed etc. at any time.

Nachteile

A little difficult to customize, and some aspects need more flexibility. I tend to have to repeat some things often...

Vorteile

It’s great to be able to log time as you work, whether in the office or in the move. I’m sure being easy to do so means we capture more chargeable hours than we did using our old (very annoying) system.

Nachteile

Overall this is a great product but I have a few niggles which I hope might get sorted out. I don’t like that time is logged to the second rather than whole minutes or nearest 5 minutes - it makes us look money grabbing. Not being able to set up a new chargeable project without having to go into a more detailed screen is annoying and no longer having a link back to the time record from a time report is slowing us down. I don’t like the time report layout as you have to look for the client name and project name - our old original system included a header with this detail which made for better client presentation.

Vorteile

I've used the free version to track my hours for four years and have found it very helpful. I can easily split my time among various tasks - and then bill appropriately. The interface is self explanatory. Sometimes I start the clock to record in real time. Sometimes I go back and enter past work. I run a report at the end of the week and download my hours to send to my respective employers. It's all very easy to operate.

Nachteile

I haven't found a way to reallocate past time by combining tasks.

Vorteile

The ability to just simply start the timer without needing to fill in any task details until when I am able to do so. The ability to start multiple tasks and edit the details/time of the tasks even manually as I go.

I also enjoy the offline app integration that helps me to continue to track my time even when not connected to the internet for syncing when connected.

I have also found the "Copy to today" feature quite handy.

Nachteile

I have still not yet figured out how the 'tasks' work. I often find I can't repeat a task name for different projects. I can rather say, I have only managed a makeshift working knowledge of how to organise projects and tasks however I do not think I am using the features effectively.

I also wish the option to export the dashboard summary and data visualisation was available, or I could at least figure it out if it is there. I end up just saving a pdf of the dashboard through the Chrome print/save pdf feature.

Vorteile

This software is simple to set up and use. I don't waste any time setting up a new project. Once I've entered the client, I just start timing and go.

I usually use the free version. I don't do a lot of hourly billing in my freelance career. So, I track projects and then add up the hours to create my own invoices in WorD. This service allows me to keep permanent detailed records, and my clients know they can ask for the information if they want to review how I spend my time.

If I take on more than the small handful of clients I currently have, I plan to upgrade to a paid account so I am able to generate invoices and have more clients. But for a basic user, this is the best service I've found. And I've tried them all.

Note, I used to be an attorney in a small practice. I would have used this constantly in my billing had I known about it.

Nachteile

I sometimes forget to hit start or stop because there is no window hovering over my workspace. Other than that, I honestly have no complaints. It suits my needs perfectly.

Vorteile

I appreciate how I can easily login and start tracking the time for each project and task I undertake in a day. I like how you can create the client categories, project names and link this to the actual person you are doing the work for - which is really helpful when juggling multiple projects in the day or week. The ability to download the reports is also very helpful when it comes to billing the client for hours worked. The weekly MyHours snapshot email is also useful to gain an overview of hours worked in the previous week.

Nachteile

There is not much to dislike about this software as it is set-up to be user-friendly and has great features. I did find the previous online interface a little easier to use than the new interface - but they may just be because I got so used to using previous version before the change. The new interface has a bit more of a learning curve to figure out where everything is and how it functions.

Vorteile

This product is easy to use, set up and incorporate into the daily functions of the organization. Technology is solid and accessible. The mobile app allows you to connect anywhere as well.

Nachteile

You cannot sort the time log in reverse chronological order. I cannot always use the state/stop feature so I manually enter my times. I work on projects each day and have to scroll through till the end to see where my entries end.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu My Hours

Vorteile

Very friendly! It has a punch. I love the Activity reports - it looks very impressive.

Nachteile

The style of the invoice. It would be great to have a few options of styles to use. The Activity Report is beautiful.

Vorteile

We are using My Hours for more than 5-6 years now. Used the paid and the free version. Both do compell exactly to our expections. You want to invoice a customer per project, per hour, per period, as consultancy, per... you can choose. Reporting is easy and accurate.

Nachteile

Sometimes total hours versus decimal results are not 1 on 1 but you can't make an egg square also...

Vorteile

The web-based version of My Hours is very easy to use. I like that I can track my time by client and by project. I use the free version and it meets almost all my needs. The website is fast, easy to navigate, and provides me the flexibility I need in tracking my billable hours.

Nachteile

While the majority of my time is tracked on the web-based version, I do have the mobile version loaded on my phone. However, I have found it lacking in features and flexibility. Also, I create reports each month so I can create my client invoices, and the time sheets cannot be formatted with decimal time. In all fairness, this might be a feature in their paid subscriptions, but I don't need the majority of their paid features, so I will stay with the free version and convert the times to decimal separately.

Vorteile

I use the free version to track my hours for my consulting business. I like that it allows me to track by timer or to input time manually. Also, that I can record my time against different clients, projects, and billable rates. Since I don't use the paid version, this is simply a tracking tool for me, but it's perfect for what I need it for. The recording and reporting functionalities are easy to use and make my life a lot easier. Highly recommend.

Nachteile

The one complaint I have is that on the free version, you can't go back and edit a time entry after you've saved it. If there is an error, I have to delete the line and enter it again with the correct information, but this is an inconvenience, not something that is detrimental to my needs.

Vorteile

I've used MyHours for over six years. It's kept pace with my changing needs for project / time tracking and the support from their staff is excellent !

Nachteile

There were times in the past when features I found handy were removed. But in the most-recent version those have been put back !

Vorteile

Projects, Tasks and Billing rate with automatic counting and Dashboard that can downloaded - these all where everything I needed as a freelance software developer. It's light and easy to use. I like the design and layout very much.

Nachteile

Sorry - but I like My Hours 100% and there is nothing missing for my current needs. :)

Vorteile

My Hours is always accessible and powerful. At any point in a billing period, I can produce a snapshot of my customer activity. This is particularly important for contract customers with a set number of monthly service hours. My Hours let's me know when a customer is going over their contract allowance and notify them before the billing period is over. Mission critical for my IT business.

Nachteile

I've been a My Hours customer for 10 years and have nothing negative to report. Why is that? Because the team of developers and support staff at Spica are finding ways to improve My Hours daily. I wanted more power and detail in the activity reports but before I could reach out with my concerns, a new release of My Hours went live and VOILA!

Vorteile

Ease of use of the interface - I can create reusable tasks
Instant time tracking. Click now, fill in the details later. Perfect difficulty level for adding details.
Reusable tasks means good information overview for clients and projects and tasks.

Nachteile

Slow mobile app for Android: the app takes a while to load, and it doesn't resemble the quality of the web application.
The invoices are not great for international use, I'm missing a few features.

Vorteile

The time tracking, billing, and report making. Pretty much all in one and so far I really don't have to use any other app

Nachteile

Sometimes the updates are too often and slightly annoying that I have to refresh, but it's not that bad. Also a lot of the times I work overtime and past midnight, it's a bit loathsome for me to have that notification, when I'm still working and tracking the time, that I left the time running from the previous day.

Vorteile

I started using Myhours when I worked in a small NGO that didn't have their own time management system. I found My hours accessible (I used it myself and wasn't paid for by the company so it was great that the free version had all the basic functions), and intuitive It was easy to create a new task if you needed to without spending a long time setting it up, it was convenient to just turn the clock on and off as you went and reporting functions were good as I could create an activity report and email it to payroll quickly..

Nachteile

Honestly I only have two things I didn't like. Firstly the occasional bugs where sometimes time doesn't get recorded or won't stop when I click on stop. But this hasn't happened in a while so that's good. The other is that It seems I can no longer get an activity report in excel format downloaded in the free version. I understand you want to limit the free version, but given that was available before I found it a bit inconvenient suddenly.

Vorteile

The My Hours platform is very basic which is exactly what I was looking for. This platform allows for customized workflow tracking that ensures each project is accurately tracked for payment and time management.

Nachteile

As noted earlier this platform is very basic. Customer service is virtually non-existent.

Vorteile

Herramienta utilizada por parte del equipo para monitorizar las horas de trabajo y facturar el tiempo efectivo de trabajo, muy util si la quieres utilizar con tu equipo o para conocer el tiempo que has estado trabajando en proyectos y facturarlos, nosotros estamos encantados ¡ Plenamente recomendable !

Nachteile

no hay nada que no nos guste de esta herramienta, además tiene una versión gratuita si quieres probarla

Vorteile

What is like very much is that you can freely use this software as long as you want, for me this means more than 4 years already! There are restrictions to this free version but still it is a very handy tool that I use daily.

Nachteile

I can't this of big cons, but that is that is have te limited free version so I don't have many features. The only things are the errors but I've experienced that they often are solved very quickly.

Vorteile

The ease and speed with which registrations are entered; completeness of the database; data processing versatility; advanced and versatile reporting and export functions;

Nachteile

I suggested some minor adjustments on the input field mask and the team is working on applying it with the next releases.

Vorteile

There was very little learning curve. I had changed to My Hours from an old tracking software from another vendor (which I had used for many years) and was initially concerned that I would lose productivity when switching to the new software. But I was wrong. I was up and running in less than an hour.

Once I got it running, I quickly realized that it was more flexible than the old software I had been using and would enable me to do everything I was accustomed to doing with the old software but with none of the problems that drove me to change. It's been a painless and seamless change to using My Hours.

Nachteile

At first the user interface took some getting used to, and some of the features were in unfamiliar or unintuitive places, but that quickly became a non-issue for me. And the company is always making incremental improvements.

Vorteile

I'm a freelance graphic designer so I don't need to worry about a team of people, but I do need an easy and inexpensive way to keep track of my time by project. My Hours makes it easy to assign multiple tasks to multiple projects. I also like that I can organize reports by client or project. I use the free version and it's great. I also like that I can edit my time if needed (ie, I forget to start or stop the clock).

Nachteile

I often have the same task name for projects, but for different clients (ie, brand guidelines or datasheet). If I go in to create a new task, and it happens to have the same name as the task for another client, it says "task name already created" and I have to go to a different screen to enable this task to be assigned to the project I want. It would be easier if it just gave me a warning screen (like, "task name already exists, apply to this project anyway?").

Vorteile

MyHours helps me easily divide the time spent with developing each project for free. Weekly timesheet provides a nice interface for doing that. I spend less than 3 minutes a day to allocate my time. Also, the excel report makes my quarter reporting very ease: I spend 30 minutes for a task that used to take some hours.

Nachteile

Nothing, my hours currently delivers everything I needed for timesheet management.

Vorteile

Our team is using this to track time the team spent on their assigned tasks and projects. Also project manager can easily view on how much time each developer spent on their tasks and projects. Also we can view reports with the tracked time details.

Nachteile

Limited integrations can count as a drawback.

Vorteile

Situation: We are a 19-year-old public relations agency with multiple clients and an extraordinary range and number of projects. Our last time tracking system’s company closed. We researched available replacement options and decided to give My Hours a try based on their free trail period. Less than a week into the trial period, we knew My Hours was what we wanted.
Advantages:
1) We capture more time and more easily. It is so easy to start a time log that we are capturing every action down to tasks requiring only several minutes. This gives us a more accurate accounting of our time – time we could not capture before.

2) Doing company-wide activity reports and sending invoices consumed a full day prior to My Hours. We estimate we are completing activity reports and invoicing in about three hours not eight. And doing so much more simply with less frustration, and with more accurate record keeping in terms of project actions. The My Hours reporting function gives us the information we need in the form we need it in. The first time we relied on My Hours as the basis of reporting our time and project status to clients, it paid for itself.

3) Interestingly and unexpectedly, My Hours gives us a project management tool. Administrators can see the status of projects based on the work of the extended team.

I know there are aspects of My Hours that we have not explored. We look forward to doing so. My Hours is one of our most important productivity tools.

Nachteile

Sometimes it is a little difficult to find the answer to a question we have. This may be simply part of the learning curve which is pretty shallow. It's easy to use.

Vorteile

Free version has everything I need without a bunch of things I don't. Love the dashboard!

Nachteile

Can't remove unused columns, such as status & invoiced, from activity report

Gründe für den Wechsel zu My Hours

Vorteile

I selected My Hours to track my own time for my own productivity purposes at work. It's easy to use, and works very well for my purposes. I love the options for adding time logs, and being able to start tracking time on a previous time log. I also appreciate the reporting tools.

Nachteile

My only complaint is that it automatically creates a client or task when you type something not already in the system and hit "enter". I have often been in a hurry and made a typo when trying to select something from my list, and it automatically created a client/task based on my typo, which I didn't have the option to undo, and I had to into the list and remove it.

Vorteile

I like how easy it to use but has features to do custom reporting.
It's always available, in 2+ years I've used it, it's always up.
I totally rely on it to track hours and there has never been a hiccup.
I like how it keeps tracking hours even after I shutdown my browser because I know when I stopped working and it keeps tracking even if I don't have my browse up. I love how I can edit tasks and make adjustments easily.

Nachteile

Sometimes when I go back to previous day, it might not refresh properly. The case is when I worked a Sunday in the past, but go back to Sunday in current week, it shows hours from previous week. I can do a force refresh but that takes me back to current day. I work around it by scrolling backwards past the weekend days, and then scroll forward. It refreshes and the data is correct. That's really the only issue I have ever encountered.

Vorteile

Easy to set up projects that you need track your time on.
Easy to add tasks so that you can identify how you are spending your time on a particular project.
Super easy to switch from project to project as you work through your day.
Love being able to add all the projects that I plan to work on that day and then switch between them.
Great tool to get reports on time spent on projects over a year for yearly job review (Bleh!).
Not to mention Free for just one user (me!).

Nachteile

Could do with more flexible report options.
The new report functionality is a bit more difficult to use than the previous ones.

Vorteile

Being able to keep track of the hours I work both billable and non-billable so I can keep track of how much time I am spending as well as how much money I am making. Also the ability to track multiple projects at once.

Nachteile

Some of the features take a little getting used to and it can be frustrating when you need to setup or add something new, especially if you haven't needed to do so in a long time.
