Favorite time and project management solution!
As a consulting company we live from the hours we spend at our customers and reliability on the invoicing. Timelog makes our project registration and management efficient. We always have up to date project information and the ease of use for our consultants is an important part.
PROSAs a fast growing consulting company we really need an easy and reliable time and project management solution. Timelog fulfills this completely in the past three years. The resource manager helps us to give realtime insight in available resources or which people have too much pressure on their planning. For the consultants it's also an easy tool to see which new projects are on their planning in the near future. Invoicing was one of the biggest advantages why we have chosen for Timelog. After two days of wrestling with Excel sheets at the end of the month we came across Timelog. With the Exact Online connection it takes us now 1 hour per month. Last but not least I want to mention the great people behind Timelog! Very experienced, always helpful and they solve your problems almost always the same day. They also list very carefully to our feedback and that often results in new features!
CONSNew mobile app, improved resource planner more BI reporting. But I know they are working very hard on these points!
Vendor Response

I hope you have got the chance to test our new mobile app - TimeLog Mobile. We're very excited to get your feedback on the way it works and suggestions to better suit your needs. As you mention - improved resource planning and BI reporting is very much top of mind for us and are in the roadmap for 2019. We're looking forward getting you guys on board for this. Thank you for using TimeLog! Best regards, Andreas from TimeLog

get paid for you time
Timelog ensures that I bill out all spent time on customer projects - with online tracking or manual entering. Also quick possibility to track driving and expenses. I use it everyday and is in integrated routine of working.At billing time it will generate invoice drafts and seamlessly transfer them to my financial system.It's one of the most imporant softwares that I use.
CONSTimelog has quite som functionality and I use only a bit and sometimes am overwhelmed. Sometimes could be more helpful/intuitive on processes support instead of focusing on objects (i.e. if i need a new project let me start there, select/add customer, time rates, etc. and ask if it should create a new customer in the finance system, so the whole setup is done at once and ready for tracking and billing).The mobile app is still a struggle as it needs to be killed first nearly everytime it wakes up before it can load the company data.
Reason for choosing TimeLog
I had previous experience with Timelog and did not want to spend time with researching the market.

Good tool for basic time tracking
We use TimeLog to track staff time by projects. We then pull the data out into Excel where we process the information and generate our invoices each month. It works OK, but is a bit cumbersome. The forecasting/project planning features seem relevant and useful, but we can't make them work for our purposes. If TimeLog spent more effort in usability and context-specific help descriptions, it would vastly improve the usability of the system for us.
PROSThe app works great for time tracking project by project. Easy to deploy to new users. Great and fast customer support. Great up-time (very rare that the app is not working).
CONSThe product is very ambitious about the many features and integrations it offers, but the usability of all but the most basic features is very complex and requires substantial IT skills to make work. For our business, the required effort is too much, so we just use a fraction of the features. This makes the product more expensive for us than it should be. For instance, the system for hourly rates is a maze to navigate, and once a project is created it is impossible to shift to another rate card - even if the first chosen rate card was a mistake. Frustrating.
Vendor Response
Hi Mikkel Thank you for taking the time to write us this review. This is great feedback! I am differently taking it to our product team. If you don't mind write to me more about the areas in the system where you are referring to "If TimeLog spent more effort in usability and context-specific help descriptions".

Not user or administrator friendly system
All in all there is basically nothing I like about this system. I would have expected so much based on this is TimeLog's primary product.
PROS#N/A. I have no comments about anything i like about TimeLog.
CONSUpgrade was not smoothly, not easy to get data. In general system is very manuel - you can't even export to excel (weekly timesheet status). You cannot generate automatic messages for approvers to approve. Limited and bad functions for sending automatic reminders to users. Difficult to get employee information, very manually. Suddenly TimeLog does not work in internet explorer with no notice, poor reply. Updating vacation - again all manually. You can't register zero hours via mobile. Yellow bans pops up when not registring full week. Difficult to get overview - have to go back/forth in weeks.
Reasons for switching to TimeLog
Used AX 2012 project module for timeregistration. New job, Ascendis used TimeLog when hired.
Vendor Response
Hi Mille Thank you for your feedback and the good meeting we had afterwards. As we talked about, our coming releases will provide some of the things you are missing. I hope to see you in our TimeLog experience groups, as it is great to have our active users part of these. In the groups, we discuss future improvements and how to utilize the system even better in your daily work, so we can help improve some of your internal processes. I am looking forward to getting your feedback after the next releases! Best regards, Sascha from TimeLog

Very useful tool to have
Saves a lot of time for managing projects. But, the invoice should be better. There are a few problems which needs to be solved. Apart from that, its a good product to have.
PROSThe reporting about individuals is great.
CONSThe customer support is the worst. Have to leave a message at zendesk. Then they will reply on their convenient time. As we are paying pro level price, so we demand pro level customer service. Not enough customisation option. No notification system on milestones. The gantt charts is not very well thought. It should be better in design.
Reason for choosing TimeLog
Because of bank integration.

Ease of use. Good integration with Jira.
we use this for time and finance management AFAIK. Checking overtime and registering vacation time.
PROSEasy to track and manage timelogging that is outside of our jira scope. Easy to use when you have holidays and vacations to track. It also makes it possible to see accumulated overtime.
CONSI wish there was an option to see accumulated overtime without having to load the calendar for several months back.

Pros and cons
Good for time tracking, although more features are desirable. The system is clearly not developed for consultancy firms that need to invoice time and material, disbursements, official fees and other costs in the same invoice. I think for other companies selling goods, it is a good system that works well in many ways.
PROSEasy to make a single invoice, easy to track time in the time sheet, WIP overview
CONSIt's very difficult to have even smaller customisations, it took nearly two years to develop a new invoice template which then still needs manual editing as some lines cannot be transferred to Economics. The specification only comes in one format and apparently it's impossible to develop a new (additional) format. You cannot change debtor on a project once a time registration has been made (would be good so you don't have to create new projects). Too many bugs appearing. After 3 years we still experience new bugs we never saw before.
Reason for choosing TimeLog
Timelog indicated they could easily develop a collective invoicing template (appeared not to be the case). Price was cheaper that alternative products.

Hi Trine Thank you so much for taking the time to write us this review, it means a lot to us getting feedback from our customers.

TimeLog know what we need
Great experience.
PROSI am truly pleased with the functionality of the program. Virtually all of our often very specific needs can be handled in the program. Ability to personalize several aspects (set-up, searches, etc) makes it even more user friendly. Support team is ALWAYS kind and ready to help and this happens quickly. We have implemented new functions over time with great assistance.
CONSI look forward to future versions with better reporting. I also find the price expensive for users who only use TimeLog to register their time but as such don't set up projects or work with invoicing or reporting.

Overall quite good
I really like the entry level costs as they were when we entered several years ago. I have no clue if it still offer the same entry level.Support has always been fast to reply and the operator has always been able to either answer by themselves or request immediate help from back office.
CONSThe entry level subsribtion has an odd limitation: currency. You can only use 1 currency at entry level. In other words, TimeLog thinks that the fact that you do business with companies that runs on a different currency or are operating from abroad, means that our company must be wealthy.
Reason for choosing TimeLog
Ease of use, nice entry level functionality (96% functionality hit rate)
Reasons for switching to TimeLog
Too much manual work

Timelog review
I like the setup of project and contracts and how this gives me a lot of flexibility in the way we tailor invoices etc to customers
CONS- When you generate and invoice the details lines comes in a random order and not sorted by date. - Some reports can only be done on week numbers not specifik dates and others the other way around. - It always clear what hourly rate is used. Eg when I set and hourly rate on the project and on the task, then it would be nice to see the price that is used for the resources allocated to the task and not just "not specific price specified"

Hi Palle! Thanks a lot for your review.

TimeLog is great for Time&Material business'
As a consultancy company we live from billing time/hours and TimeLogs Time-to-Money process is just what I needed, when I joined a previous consultancy company with lots of project, fine turnover and a bottom line like a nightmare. So when I started Carve Consulting in 2013, I wasn't in doubt: TimeLog was a must as the single, administrative tools for all consultants and partners. We use it for time-registration, expenses, project management etc. Even those of my colleagues who haven't great flair for administrative tasks can be helped to do the full process: From time to money. Behind the scenes TimeLog is integrated to e-conomic as our accounting system, which I'm the only one to access. Yes, Carve Consulting is a true TimeLog Company.
PROSEase and flexibility of use in the sense, that it allows you combine classic project/time management with the financial details of the underlying contract. In this way the work of collecting the time registrations and converting them to an invoice is doable for everybody. In our business almost every contract have some unique 'details' like pricing, in and out of scope, payment schedules, etc. TimeLog supports these 'details' which enables the Time-to-Money process to be simple. All it takes is to do the initial job of setting-up the project correctly. Garbage in, garbage out.
CONSAll I miss is an app what supports expenses on-the-go: Scan recite. Done. I'm pretty sure it's on its way.

I have worked in multiple system so far, and will definitely recommend TimeLog as my all time favori
TimeLog is super easy to use and give a superb overview of both financial figures and resources available. Through TimeLog's many reporting options, it is easy to do the reporting needed by the management team. With our usage of TimeLog we are following the development of our resources closely. Their resource planer gives a perfect overview of available resources and when a resource is fully booked. From an employees point of view it is also easy to see which tasks are planned for the future. The invoicing is done flawlessly, and if you keep the system updated with the correct data along the way, it takes me a quarter of the time compared to colleagues using other systems. I would like to highlight TimeLog's support team they are always sweet, patient and extremely helpful, and they truly understand how to create an amazing customer experience!
CONSEven though we are pleased with the resource planner, it is also one of the features that could use a brush-up. It is a bit difficult to move the allocated hours between days, if you are doing a detailed planning. I know they are working on improving this, which I am looking forward to. I also miss an extension to the pipeline management.
