Functionality

Pros:

Ease of use - very easy for our non technical staff to get using it. Simple UI makes it like other familiar software. I love the integration with Google Contacts and Google Calendar - our clients are impressed when we answer phone calls using their name.

Cons:

- They recently introduced packages - but they can't yet be booked online by clients. We have a work around in our setup - but it causes a bit more admin work. - I'd also like to see more options for the rules around when consult forms are sent out. - International clients have trouble booking with us - since you can only allow clients with the same phone country code as the business to book in online. - Having some difficulty with Mailchimp integration - we've switched to Timely > Zapier > Mailchimp instead of Timely > Mailchimp directly.

Reasons for switching to Timely

We wanted the simplest option to allow clients to book directly with us, that also gave us the most flexibility and control over our data.

Balancing our Workflow with Precision Time Tracking

Timely transformed our university's time tracking by offering clear visibility into resource use across departments. Automated time tracking increased productivity by eliminating the need for manual entry and reducing administrative work. The platform's easy-to-read reports improved course scheduling and research project timelines, resulting in a great boost in grant utilisation efficiency.

Pros:

Timely's automated time tracking has greatly benefited the management of research projects, allowing me to precisely track time spent on various grants without the hassle of manual entry. This has boosted my productivity and improved the clarity and accuracy of our grant reports. The platform's easy-to-use interface helps me see how I divide my time among teaching, research, and administrative tasks, supporting a healthier work-life balance.

Cons:

Timely struggles to capture the blurred lines between different academic activities, like when a casual chat with a colleague unexpectedly leads to a research breakthrough.

Reasons for switching to Timely

The reason for us switching to Timely was for its automated time tracking, user-friendly interface, and detailed reporting, which improve productivity and accuracy in managing academic and research activities.

Avoid ! Useless communication when you need help. Issue with system their end and still not resolved

Furious. I am a paying customer and I haven’t had the help that I have needed. I haven’t had issues before and now issues are arising with their systems. Not offering clients slots that are available, booking clients in slots that aren’t supposed to be available and open times in the diary are not showing to customers. It’s an absolute mess.

Pros:

I like it because it is cheap but that reflects on the issues that they have with their system.

Cons:

You can get hold of anyone for help. They won’t speak to you on the phone unless you are an upgraded member. They did regard that there is an issue with the system and come back with slow, stupid responses and then close the chat claiming that you haven’t responded, leaving you with an un resolved issue. I am loosing out on money and bookings because of this.

Pros:

I personally like the automated time tracking in Timely which is AI based by learning the habits. It also includes budget tracking and timesheets. It has an intuitive user interface which is very clear and easy. The customer service is also top notch.

Cons:

Use of AI is still not accurate as with other softwares. Timely only offers online tracking. The Timely app has some bugs which should be fixed in next updates. It is also on slightly expensive side.
