Tick reviews

Tick-I Approve.

Opmerkingen: With my busy schedule,Tick has helped me in tracking my time in relevance to achieving my set goal.It's easy to use and amazing add on for basecamp

Pluspunten:

For a busy person ,bad with keeping track of time like me,Tick is the solution.The accounts and projects are flexiable and very easy to set it up.It helps in easy tracking of time by indicating the time allocated,time billed and the remaining time hense enabling the user hit the set target.It's easy to import projects and add different tasks and produce detailed time reports by company project and task.one can easily retrieve the data and add to pivot tables to graphically view where time is spent.The best part of it is,it intergrates well with project management software such as Basecamp which bring the time tracking and budget feedback into project management workflow.

Minpunten:

Though it can be manageble,i find the process of editing past time entries from any of the summary views long and tiresome.It is also slow at sometimes when it comes for updating time entry field with the item clicked .

Great project tracking!

Pluspunten:

Love that I can have multiple projects under a single client. Love that you can create monthly recurring time budgets on a per project basis as well as open projects.

Minpunten:

I don't feel it connects well to many other platforms if that is needed. For instance, importing it into data management platforms so can see and manipulate the data on dashboards.

Switching from Toggl to Tick

Opmerkingen: We made the move to Tick because Toggl didn't provide an easy way to track the progress of a project or task. With Tick, we're able to see this, to an extent, while tracking time. However, this only shows up *after* you've "entered" time. So, there isn't a way to view the "estimated" time budget, factoring in the timer that's currently running. It would be a huge, AMAZING, help to be able to see this in REAL time is not at the end of the day, when I've submitted my timers and have already gone over time budget by several hours. Additionally, Toggl has a desktop app that works really well'and is native. Tick's app isn't really an app at all, it's a "mini browser" that refreshes every time you open it from the taskbar. Sometimes I'm naming a timer, and a notification pops up and closes Tick, or I need to navigate away for a second, and when I come back, it refreshes'losing all of my information. Toggl's desktop app also reminds you to track time, when your timer isn't running, during user designated hours (ie between 9:00am and 6:00pm, if I don't have a timer running it'll remind me periodically to remember to track time). In general, Tick's design is mediocre at best. If it wasn't for the easier-to-view time budget feature, we wouldn't be using Tick in fact we're considering switching because of the lack of other features. A redesign is long over due. Another down fall of Tick, is the fact that time can't be inputted based on time of day. For example, I forgot to start my timer after lunch, but I know I started working around 1:00 pm and then switched tasks around 2:48, and then switched back at 3:32 noon of which was logged. It would be much easier to log time-based on hours of the day, like Toggl does. But in other circumstances, it's helpful to be able to just put in a specified amount of time. Plus, the hours of day allow us to track our employees and see exactly when during the day they weren't clocking time. This is especially helpful with remote employees. In fact, before we switched to Toggle, I was able to find out that an employee wasn't really working when he said he was, or was padding their numbers. But, with the current Tick setup this is nearly impossible to pin-point. If you guys want to consider a redesign, we'd love to work with you. Check us out: www.steadfastdesignfirm.com

Pluspunten:

Time budget tracking right in the time tracker.

Minpunten:

Doesn't have a good, easy to use interface. Time budgets are visible or represented until timers are "entered" almost defeating the purpose of showing them in the timer in the first place. Doesn't have a native desktop app, only a sorry excuse for "something". Time can't be inputted based on time of day.

Get your initiatives under control with Tick

Opmerkingen: I've been using that for 7 years now.Before the pandemic, I would use it every day because I needed to report all my work on Tick and it worked pretty well.Recently, the company asks us to report just some specific work, so I use it once a month for that.

Pluspunten:

Tick is pretty easy to use.For the purpose we use that, we just select the project and task, then add the amount of time spent and notes about that, and it's done.Then, we can check the reports to see how many hours each resource has spent on each project.Simple as that.

Minpunten:

So far, I haven't found any cons.I believe that if it had the possibility to import multiple entries from a TXT file into the system, that would help.

This product help me to work with my client easier.

Opmerkingen: Pretty well nice, this product done to help freelancer like me to make easier on project to my client.

Pluspunten:

the tool & feature is simple. the product have many shortcut for progress in project.

Minpunten:

the UI or visual need a update or modern style for the better way to many people love it.

Serviceable Time-Tracking App

Pluspunten:

Tick allows you to track time to projects, broken into as many sub-categories as you need to encompass all the elements of that project. You can easily see a breakdown of your time and ensure that you're tracking the right amount of time to a day/week or project. It also allows you to set time budgets you can track against.

Minpunten:

The reporting function can be a bit cumbersome; I wish it would automatically port to Excel or into more of a spreadsheet format, rather than a long list. It also will automatically create a "shortcut" menu based on your recent entries, so you don't have to scroll through all the projects/tasks to find the one you need to enter time into, but I wish that shortcut menu was customizable rather than auto-generated.

Using Tick Depends on Company Needs

Opmerkingen: Since my team of graphic designers is the smallest of my teams, for me it isn't worth the effort to have a separate system for them to use. But it could be amazing for someone else.

Pluspunten:

Example: Graphic Designers do not necessarily need to be in the office or on campus to complete their assignments. But we do need a way to assign their projects (tasks), allocate the time/hours allowed for the project, and any other details. You can set these parameters for an individual employee or for a team of graphic designers. This team is quite small so it works.

Minpunten:

The benefit of this software is also the downfall. It works great for a small team. This is not something I would use for my larger teams because I cannot integrate it with our university-wide Workday system. As a work team, we use Trello and Zapier but it doesn't necessarily correlate with timesheets.

Track the Time with #Tick

Pluspunten:

The best and the most useful feature that I truly like about Tick is that is helps in managing the projects and tracking their deadline efficiently.

Minpunten:

The User interface could have been better otherwise, everything is good.

A Cruical Application for time tracking.

Opmerkingen: It is a cruicial application to have in my laptop.

Pluspunten:

To help me keep track of the time I spend working on different tasks, I use Tick daily. I occasionally work as a remote worker, which necessitates keeping track of the hours spent on a project. Without Tick, I'd be confused.

Minpunten:

The price is little bit costlier. It requires more money to unlock more features.

omoronton

Opmerkingen: google search omoronton,is fantastic

Pluspunten:

it is very motivating,simple and cheap to use

Minpunten:

it easy to use and access for any one around

I type in my time at the end of each day. I have never had any issues.

Pluspunten:

I almost always have the project name in my head - being able to autofill rather than browse keeps my mind from being interrupted. The same goes for the task - autofill beats browsing all the time, but it's great to know I have browsing were I to need it (1 time out of 20). The way each entry saves in an inline container all on the same page has always been helpful. I take shorthand notes on paper throughout the day of my time rounded to the quarter hour. Seeing everything at once helps me to confirm I didn't miscalculate hours.

Minpunten:

The fact that it could be a little bit more but probably can't be. I'm a freelancer and use all kinds per studio. Tick achieves the time tracking capabilities I need at this office. As far as time tracking & reporting goes I find Harvest to be the best, you guys second. They're even simpler - at least on the the main level. You have them beat on the secondary level of autofill. If you wanted to be more than tracking & reports and included planning I think you could take down Liquid Planner & Mavenlink. If you integrated the visual style and structure of Teamweek's horizontal timeline you might have a corner on the market. You could beat out Liquid Planner (too clunky and granular) & Mavenlink (not enough specificity). I don't see the need to overreach into asset management. Basecamp is better than Liquid Planner for project asset tracking but more and more people are relying on Dropbox/Drive + a Google spreadsheet. Thus people might use you for time tracking, team scheduling, budget forecasting/reports - and then leave the asset management to the more agile Dropbox/Drive/Box world.

Convenient, but with Help

Opmerkingen: For backstory, my team is gauging how long certain tasks take to better forecast where people should be assigned and when to start tasks. I'm used to keeping track of my hours and time spent per task for freelance work and have made a spreadsheet where I can enter the start and end time of a task, get the total HH: work sheetMM spent, and then it convert it to Decimal Hours through formulas. I also made a worksheet space for tasks that I stop and start throughout the day, so the decimal hours are added up in a range for Total Decimal Hours for a task. My team find the stopwatch function useful and prefer to use that. I also mentioned my spreadsheet during a meeting and earned a collective groan, but I suspect it's because I make spreadsheets for EVERYTHING. I have not had to contact Customer Support, and I don't feel qualified to say whether or not Tick is a good value. I have also not used the Projects or Reporting tabs, as I have only checked times into Tick.

Pluspunten:

I like the Recently Used sidebar for easy time logging. I had to re-do three weeks of entries and the Recently Used sidebar was definitely a lifesaver in that situation. It also makes checking into tasks much easier after the first entry. I really like the comments section as well. My team lead showed me the narrative I had constructed around a task because of the comments I had entered.

Minpunten:

Time to Enter (decimal hours) and the Stop Watch feel a little too specific, but I mentioned previously that I'm so used to entering something like "9:00 AM - Start" and "9:47 AM - End" that I made a spreadsheet so I could enter start and end times, get the total HH: MM and have it convert to decimal hours through formulas.

I have already recommended it to others.

Opmerkingen: Over the course of the past 16 months or so that I have been using the software it has been very dependable. The feature that allows a user to pick tasks from previous jobs has been a big time saver during job set up. Tick is flexible enough to keep up with the varying needs of my large corporate as well as agency clients, each with their own unique way of keeping track of time. If you work with subcontractors, it's great being able to add and remove people on the fly without incurring additional charges. I chose this platform over others because the fees are based on the number of jobs, not the number of users. The more jobs you have in the system, the more you pay. That being said $49 a month for more than 10 jobs per month does seem a bit high. That is the same amount I pay Adobe for their entire Creative Cloud. Think about all the R&D and decades that have gone into the full suite of Adobe products. I only pay Microsoft $10 per month. But even at that price, I would still recommend it. I was on site at an agency and the creative director saw it on my computer and thought it was great.

Pluspunten:

Pricing based on Jobs. Picking up tasks from previous jobs. The desktop and iPhone apps.

Minpunten:

Price

Seamless & simple

Opmerkingen: I live and die by Tick. The basecamp integration sold me initially, but I since moved off basecamp for PM and continue to use Tick for time tracking and recording details for invoicing clients. The accounts and projects are flexible and easy to set up. The application for Mac and Chrome are great for my standard workflow, and the mobile app is helpful when i forget to turn off the timer on my computer. It's all seamless. I have subcontractors who use it too, and all the timecards roll up to the correct projects. I recommend this app to any independent consultant or small agency I come across.

Pluspunten:

It's simple, flexible, and works really well across devices.

Minpunten:

On the Mac app, if you click off an entry before saving it, i.e. to look up some details or a time stamp on an email, the information wipes out and you have to start over. that's the only quirk you have to remember--don't click off the widget before saving the entry.

Makes tracking time spent on projects a breeze!

Opmerkingen: Tick has been a crucial find for me that helps me be more effective in my work and keep track of time seamlessly.

Pluspunten:

I use Tick daily to help monitor and track the time I spend on various projects. I do some freelance work that requires keeping track of hours worked on a project and would be lost without Tick. I love the plug-in for Google Chrome that enables me to easily start and stop the timer without opening another program or window. It's been a lifesaver!

Minpunten:

If you want to have more functionality (additional projects, etc.) you may have to pay more for a plan with those features but it seems more than comparable with other software on the market.

TICK makes our office tick!

Opmerkingen: Our office has been using TICK for nearly a year now and I can honestly say, the program has greatly improved our productivity. While not a favorite task, tracking time is a must in an agency atmosphere. We enter time to ensure WE are being productive and to allow for accurate client billing. And we love that we don't even have to wait until the month is over to see how we are doing. TICK makes us tick for several reasons. We enter how much time we think we should spend on each client project, and then as time is tracked, we can instantly see our firm's monthly progress. When problems are identified mid-month, we can reallocate time within a client's project or to another client. We also like to be able to measure our team's overall productivity and individual staff member's workload or productivity. This is the only way to measure our profit and loss, and to plan for future staffing needs. One suggestion for improvement would be re: reporting. We find some of the features to be a bit clunky. It would be helpful to be able to customize reports. And running a retroactive report showing the percentage of time used, even if it was over the allotted budget, would be a nice feature.

Pluspunten:

Easy to use

Very Useful, But Could Use Updates

Opmerkingen: I use Tick almost every day. It works very well overall. Nice and organized. But from a UX perspective, could use improvement. We have many projects in our project menu. It is often hard to navigate quickly to the one I need. If the layout displayed all projects, or had the a "most recent" filter, it would save so much time. Maybe an icon or color based system would better suit multiple projects. One big challenge is remembering what you have worked on during a day. Especially if you've been on multiple project. An different idea would be adding a timer that is liked to a calendar. Or some way to clock in real time, how much time you spent on a timer that the user could initiate. Just some thoughts.

Pluspunten:

It is accurate

Minpunten:

UX needs improvement

Tick - Tock - Clock your time.

Pluspunten:

The ability to track not only your time for each task you do but your teams' times, is fantastic. Tracking tasks in each project per day makes for a clean timesheet at the end of the month.

Minpunten:

Not being able to have a task be automatically alphabetize when adding a task to a project, so the team can track their time per that task is a little time consuming but it is manageable. Still with hundreds of tasks to sort through to make them alphabetized manually is time consuming.

Tick helps me keep track of what I did all day and manage client billables.

Pluspunten:

I love that I can track time billed against each client (per category and per task). Tick keeps retainer accounts on budget and ensures I am spending time where time needs to be spent.

Minpunten:

The reporting feature seems to have some ongoing bugs. While it still works in the end, it could run more smoothly. For instance, if I run a report for a certain time period and then switch the date range, a new report will not generate. I have to back out of the screen and go back in for it to work.

Your basic Contract IT user review

Opmerkingen: I use Tick once/week to enter time as I match it to the company's timesheet that I enter. So I don't use the Customer Support and I would not know the Value for Money, so those I just rated average. What I like about it: it's intuitive, and it's fast. There's no hangups when submitting the individual time entries, and the web interface is snappy. No waiting is good. I also like the summary hour daily and weekly hours on the same page. That helps me reconcile against what I entered at my contract company. Also, I used the Reporting feature once or twice, and found it very intuitive, and the report output was fast. Again, made my life easier by not having to wait for things, and I could reconcile with my business reports. Areas of Opportunity
While I don't have any real negatives to speak, there's a couple minor improvements that might help. 1) I wish I could enter time across a whole 5 day work week (or maybe 7 day week) in one row, instead of having to make all the same choices and make 1 daily entry for each line. I do this because I'm matching the time entry at the company, which is a grid-view: Project Code # (down) against the day of the week (across). So just being able to enter the same Comment (where I add the project code # in Tick) be able to enter the hours M-F on that really quick on one row / one data entry submit button press, would save me from 4 additional submissions, and reduce the risk of human error on data entry. 2) Since I'm only on 1 Project in the system, could that drop down option be defaulted, instead of still making me choose it? (minor UX enhancement) That's all I can think of for now. Keep it snappy :)

We love Tick. Very easy to use, the reporting is great.

Pluspunten:

Tick is incredibly easy to set up and get using. We love the reporting and being able to export time sheets to Excel. The drill down for checking on time also made for a great dashboard type experience

Minpunten:

We are also using Basecamp and the integration is clunky. If we changed a typo in the Basecamp project, it would open a whole new project in Tick. Tick itself is great, but it was double effort to open a project in Basecamp and then in Tick

Best time tracking tool!

Opmerkingen: Time tracking is essential task for our company, and we have tried so many other software in the market but nothing stuck like Tick. It's so easy to use in all the ways: adding teams, adding projects, integration with Trello, generating reports, etc. I recommend it to people all the time.

Pluspunten:

SO easy to use. We've never had to contact support because we've never had any issues.

Minpunten:

The reports output - could use a better layout (or have added capabilities for us to edit the layout ourselves).

Tracking time for E-nor

Opmerkingen: The tool was easy to use, there was a recurring issue sometimes a project is added but I still cant find it on Tick to add hours, sometimes it will take a week from the project creation on Base Camp to being able to add hours to Tick. Thats is probably the man issue I faced.

Pluspunten:

Easy to use and can handle 40+ projects

Minpunten:

I dont think I was able to extract solid reports for workload among my team, specific to a certain person I mean, usually I see if the project is still within the budgeted hours or not.

An Indispensable Tool for a Freelancer

Opmerkingen: As a freelance writer who regularly bills by the hour, I don't know how I would manage without Tick. It is super easy to track time, edit projects - I always have multiple projects going simultaneously - and run reports when it's time to get invoices out. I especially love the stopwatch feature. My one qualm is that it isn't easy to delete old projects. I suppose this is a safety measure, and it's not a big deal to live with.

Pluspunten:

Stopwatch feature

Minpunten:

Inability to easily delete old projects. There are several steps involved.

A Great Transparency Tool for Our Clients and Our Agency

Opmerkingen: Our agency uses Tick for two main purposes- to keep an accurate pulse on bandwidth and capacity for all of our employees and to deliver a transparent view of our efforts and tasks to the clients we work with.

Pluspunten:

The ability to enter time in hours and minutes or decimal numbers as well as the ability to integrate with Basecamp.

Minpunten:

It lives in the background of all my other windows and open tabs and sometime I just forget to log my time.
