Tempo Timesheets – Bewertungsseite 2

Vorteile

The different ways to be able to enter time - especially the daily view with the time. Good integration with JIRA and Ease in customizing and editing.

Nachteile

Not being able to report fully on how I want (e.g., export into Excel indicating time by week periods); GUI issue where you have to scroll to the bottom to navigate - logged bug). Still not sure how to work the teams and calculation of remaining time vs estimation and ability to add a field to show % complete. Would be good to be able to select which fields to export to excel and save that - would save me a lot of time.

Vorteile

Tempo brings the most comprehensive and impressive timesheet management to Jira - we have found this to be the best timesheet management add on with an excellent array of features and a decent mobile app.

Nachteile

Putting all the Tempo products together gets very expensive but we've generally found them to be good value for money.

Vorteile

I can use mobile app for logging hours which is pretty convenient. It also gives you pretty neat working hours report so I can bill my clients accordingly.

Nachteile

Sometimes it's cumbersome to find Jira issues that I'd like to log hours in. On mobile application you cannot set worked hours directly (you can do it through website tho). You have to set specific begininning and end time which make the process longer.

Vorteile

I love that timelogs get connected to particular jira issues which is very useful when analyzing them and comparing the logs to the initial estimation. This is something that cannot be done with Toggl and it's the biggest reason we don't use Toggl.

Nachteile

The old Reports page from Jira server was quicker to use. There were fewer steps that you need to do to see the timesheets and you can very quickly switch between different projects or from a project report to user report. Saying that the newer timesheets page in Jira Cloud is much more powerful.

Vorteile

- I like the UI
- Having the mobile app is very useful (approve the timesheets for example)
- I like to see Tempo from JIRA

Nachteile

- Some bugs as any other software, but the customer service always helped me
- There's a bad management of competition when 2 people log there time at the same time.
- The mobile app could have some improvements/new features
- JIRA is a complex software. Integrating a plugin to it is not an easy task
- As an admin I can't approve my own timesheet/re-open it, manage it like any other timesheet. If there's a mistake in my timesheet I have to ask to another admin. Unless there's a permission I missed?
- When searching a task when you log your time, you start with the key of the task in JIRA (KEY-123) but it only shows recently viewed tasks, you can't have the whole liste and search the one you are looking for (it should show the most recently viewed at the top and then all the issues.
- It would be nice to be able to duplicate a task logged in the timesheet
(these feedbacks come from the whole team)

Vorteile

- Very easy tool to use for end user
- The capability for reporting
- Installation out of the box. No extra knowledge for any Atlassian Administrator
- The organization of teams and acounts
- The customization: type of accounts, new attributes, etc...
- The feature for planning

Nachteile

The reminders policy could be improved
Multiple timesheet reviewers will be very useful
Non billing time like holidays or leaves it's not completely covered. Should be resolved in other way than using Internal Issues

Vorteile

Tempo had a number of views to allow you to enter time easily. It integrates nicely with Jira. It does not try to be original, but it is useful. The integration with Google calendar is top. Reports and accounts help us to get an accounting overview.

Nachteile

The dictionary to search tickets to book on is not good. The base search in Korea is much better. Also, tempo always required filters to select, while not using the existing projects as a filter... Yes I can make a filter for that, but I have other things to do .. :-)

Vorteile

As both a user and administrator, I like Tempo Timesheets because it was easily integrated into the workflow of our software development team. I get a great visual overview of who is using it (and who is slacking off) by just glancing at the dashboard. I also love that I can log time right within the tickets. This is a very simple to use product and that's just what my team needs!

Nachteile

The permission structure took some time to get figured out. It was fairly convoluted for me to see my own team's time even as the administrator. I figured it out but it took a good deal of reading and experimentation.

Vorteile

i like the timetable feature as well as the integration into jira fits our needs

Nachteile

some features are lacking a smooth user experience. reports could be done better

Vorteile

I like that it is easy to add time from JIRA and I don't need to go to a separate application.

Nachteile

I wish there was an easier way to get the information from Tempo to accounting software (i.e. Quickbooks Online) currently I have to copy the information over line by line when invoicing.

QuickBooks Online

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Tempo Timesheets

Integration with Jira and timer and all my employees at the time could use it remotely. Quickbooks didn't have that option. Having it as an online product also allowed be to keep tabs on work being done and time it was taking to accomplish tasks.

Vorteile

Overall, I'd say it covers the needs. The progress Tempo development team made in past year is pretty impressive. Trackers became way easier to use.
The reports are great, easy to customize.

Nachteile

That I can't buy the license only for the users I need tracker for.
I have a bunch of people in Jira that don't need the tracker, but I'm paying for them anyway. It's a bit of a downside.

We switched from Asana to Jira. Everhour didn't have an integration at that time.

Everhour

Vorteile

Generally, it is fairly easy for my team to log their time, and it is good that they can log it on EPICs rather than specific issues.

Nachteile

It's really clunky to administer the team and projects. There's no way to automatically add new projects to the team, and add new team members by default. Most importantly, the billing model is really frustrating. We do client work, and clients have access to our Jira -- But, clients will never ever log time. I don't believe that I should have to pay for those users as Tempo users. There should be an actual per-seat billing model, where I only pay for users who use tempo.

Vorteile

The ease of use for end users, it's very easy to on board new users to have their time reported.

Nachteile

Our management would like to have a bit more configuration when it comes to the reports, especially utilization to not only take logged time into account, but also include expected time.
Lacking approval on account basis rather than just full timesheet.

Vorteile

I've used up to a dozen time tracking products, and the easy of use on this is the best. It creates less pain for a painful process of time tracking.

Nachteile

Some parts behave as unexpected. Removing people from teams/jira messed up their reports. Deleting Jira issues also deletes the time (This one is key - it'd be awesome if I don't have to worry about this)

Vorteile

The ease of reporting between projects and users as well as being able to view planned time

Nachteile

The limitations on using custom fields for reporting

Vorteile

Easy of use time tracking. Very good integration with JIRA.

Nachteile

We don't need all the features, worklog approval functionality didn't have all the features we need, so we wrote our own integrations. Poor communications about API. API was accicentally broken and we rewrote all our intergrations in rush.

Vorteile

Is a fantastic way to get things organized. Even log our work, control teams, reporting, budgeting. Vert fast and very Jira

Nachteile

I think for the price there are another cheap options, maybe for small teams might be cheaper until they grow.

Vorteile

Very easy to setup and use, then customize for our needs

Nachteile

Very few cons and they are all nit-picks like I wish they would change the format of the data download file names for easier sorting - things of that nature. From a functionality, capabilities, etc I have no real issues with the software.

Vorteile

Creating re-usable reports is quick and easy!

With the click of a button I can get an instant project status update of our team's hours once I have set up a report.

Nachteile

In the beginning I couldn't seem to get all my tasks into the same report.

I think over time that challenge has made me better at using our Jira software so that I am able to create reports more efficiently as I include better information in my original tickets.

Vorteile

The software is pretty intuitive and both fast and easy to get time entered into along with a good ability to download data for different integrations we have from the API.

Nachteile

Some of the documentation is hard to use and find for the current version of the software. It seems like there is a lot of old or outdated information available.
When searching for issues to enter time against using the issue lookup box the search is fast but terrible. It seems really inconsistent why you get the result you do.

Vorteile

Reporting agility, transparency, strong integration with jira.

Nachteile

missing how to proper save reused reports

Vorteile

I like that tempo makes time tracking, and reporting, within Jira extremely, extremely easy.

Nachteile

I don't like the additional monthly cost - Atlassian should acquire Tempo and offer it inside Jira!

Vorteile

Perfect Jira integration allowing a full view on the dev cycle

Nachteile

Billing key structure should be extended to a multi level tracker architecture
API should have more infos and features available

Vorteile

Integration with Jira. Integration with tickets in Jira. Different views (calendar, task, etc.). Relatively easy to log tasks.

Nachteile

Can only log hours for the last three weeks. I will sometimes log my work one month at a time, so I need to be able to go back 4 weeks when adding items. This setting cannot be changed and it has been the most frustrating aspect of this tool.

Timely

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Tempo Timesheets

Direct integration with Jira. My team can log time directly against the tasks that they're working on.

Vorteile

It is easy to implement, update, and create new teams.

Nachteile

When you select a leave date for a team member, they still see the old team lead as an option for submitting their timesheet to. It is useful to track how employees move in the company, but this can be an inconvenience.

The ability to move the tracker from the right corner of the screen to another area of the screen, would also be useful. It can cover the bottom scroll bar on charts.

Vorteile

That it interacts with Jira, that it is easy to use and that it provides all sorts of reports (user, project issue etc.).

Nachteile

The calendar view is extremely confusing and I also don't think that the way it interacts with Tempo Planner works very well. So all of us keep ignoring the calendar view.

Vorteile

Weekly views made entering times against projects a breeze.

Nachteile

Would be nice to duplicate entries across several days.

Vorteile

We rely heavily on Tempo to keep track of our client billable and support hours. Tempo's robust account management system has met our requirements for the past 6 years. It's really the only solution that meets our needs.

Nachteile

Only negative is the lack of reporting around the worklog attributes.

Vorteile

Easy to Use - requires minimal training
Allows recording of Worked & Billed hours

Nachteile

Searching for Issues could be better
Handling of Billed hours could be better
Rates just aren’t useable in our use case

Vorteile

The ability to have a more detailed view point of where our time is being spent.

Nachteile

We do have some pain points when it comes to tracking contracts and when client goes over their paid hours.

Vorteile

Everyone hates timesheets! I'm convinced the only way to contend with this necessary evil is to make it as simple and painless as possible, and Tempo Timesheets does just that!

Nachteile

I'm struggling to find any negatives with this tool as it's been a godsend for helping keep my teams profitable.

Vorteile

It's easy to work with the Tempo for both timekeeping and information extration.

Nachteile

Not being able to automatically email users in case of missing timekeeping.

Vorteile

- Good integration into JIRA Cloud.
- Existing mobile

Nachteile

- Reporting feature is not perfect enough.
- Usage as a user is not intuitive enough (for the first time)

Vorteile

Easy to record time spent. It does its name said.

Nachteile

Two major concerns here, one is the price. Our company has 35-40 users using Jira. However, only 10 people max are using Tempo. But the bill of Tempo is applied to all users which is not flexible. The second concerns is the reporting. We set up a custom field to identify each business sector, but it's not easy to use this field to group time log.

Vorteile

Overview of booked hours is easy to find an have insight.

Nachteile

Willingness of the organization to help and implement needed functionalities. The software does the basics, but not more than that, you need more software to really benefit.

Vorteile

It's tightly integrated with JIRA and it works.

Nachteile

It just sucks to review 1500 worklogs for the entire team per month without a bulk edit feature. I have requested this many times, but gave up.

Vorteile

This software is easy to navigate and set up for our team. end users have been able to use without much help.

Nachteile

there is no option to to turn off the submit your time - we don't use that feature, but it would be nice to not have "submit your time" we get a lot of questions about it.

Vorteile

For the most part Tempo is trouble-free. It allows users to log their time against JIRA issues and managers to build reports based on that data. It's largely intuituve and has few "gotchas". Users don't need to bother administrators much. We've had very few problems. Support is good.

Nachteile

I feel they've tried to make it too sophisticated in places when most people want only very basic functionality.

Vorteile

Stable and flexible with ability to control and customize experience for employees.

Nachteile

Customer support can be slow, but they ultimately provide assistance.

Integration with newly implemented Jira

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Tempo Timesheets

Recommendation by partner company Set of features Fresh look

Vorteile

We use Tempo as a timesheet for our SW developers. About 250 developers use it to report time tracking.
The most I like with Tempo is the easy option to get reports, from user reports to team reports.

Nachteile

Upgrade to the Tempo App may not go smooth and lose some features. Need more backward compatibility when upgrading to a new version.

Vorteile

Tempo is directly integrated with Jira - so super easy to use and a seamless part of the team's daily workflow. Hours are tracked against tasks, epics, projects and accounts - which makes it really easy to get the reporting data I need.

Nachteile

The only thing really missing for me is pulling advanced financial reports based on the type of billing model I'm using for a client or project. I still need to pull the data and then run pivots and additional calculations to get what I need - but I understand this is on Tempo's product roadmap.

Vorteile

Easy to use, feature rich, great analysis and charts, integrates almost completely.

Nachteile

Besides using sprints, hard to export a quote. Sometimes estimates displayed in cards aren't accurate. Wish there was a way to connect it with Intuit or PayPal products for estimating and billing.

Vorteile

1- Sometimes after update/upgrade user settings like saved report, will be gone and user(s) have to recreate them.
2- Some issues, takes long time to addressed and resolved.
3- No support over the phone, sometimes issues are serious and emails is not the fastest way to resolved time sensitive issues

Nachteile

1- Easy to use
2- Easy to configure
3- Easy update process
4- Great reports

Vorteile

The reporting by JQL filters is extremely valuable to us
Integration with Jira and ease of time logging directly in Jira
Integration with Chronos

Nachteile

User Management and groups seems a bit clunky
I wish I could share reports to other users
I would like to be able to show different time entry screens to different groups - maybe that is possible, but I haven't found how

Vorteile

* The integration with the Atlassian stack
* The reporting
* The ease of logging time (via web or even git comments!)

Nachteile

* It's a reasonable amount of work to set up a new customer
* There's no API link into Xero Accounting

Vorteile

It tracks time by issue and outputs the data into reports that are mostly usable.

Nachteile

It’s slow. Despite me always selecting things like grid view, etc., it often reverts back to other views I don’t use. Timesheets always default to displaying the entire current month - even when it’s the first day of the month.
