HourStack Reviews

Integrations to not have to repeat work.

once or twice the integration to asana went down rending the time tracking unusable the way we do it.

Time tracking for remote team members and project based costing.

Although I’m a marketer, my schedule is extremely flexible and I keep odd hours. This helps me plan out my time accordingly!

The Asana tasks can be hard to manage via HourStack because the task name gets pulled in, but not the project so it’s hard visually.

Planning my time weekly and accounting for projects that arrive unexpectedly. It also helps us track time for billing!

The ease to drag and drop calendar invites onto the calendar is great. The ability to tag a project or label is great for allocation of hours. The integration with Zapier is convenient to feed our projects from Samanage/SolarWinds into HourStack so we don't have to create our projects, we just have to tag them.

I wish there was more ability to add more categories. It would be nice to allocate hours per department easier so it is a defined custom field that we could report on. It would like to see dashboards so we can easily see team member performance instead of exporting data and creating our own charts.

Plan out how you want the system to function and what reports you will need out of it. We didn't plan this out that well in the beginning and had to redo our workspace a year later.

We are able to track our team members performance and project performance. We have generated reports to display where IT's time is being spent so the company knows they are investing in the right projects. It helps us determine if we have an issue with tickets vs. new features as well.

ITS EASY TO USE, REPORTS ARE ALWAYS EASY TO GENERATE WHEN NEEDED.

THE MOBILE APP HARDLY WORKS WELL. THE MOBILE APP ISN'T ALWAYS RELIABLE TO USE HALF THE TIME.

WEIGH YOUR PROS AND CONS BEFORE DECIDING

TRACKING OUR SCHEDULE WORK TIME

easy to use, reports are easy to generate, it's actually easier to use the in-app reports rather than exporting to excel and doing reports there, which is not normally the case for products like this.

The mobile app is clunky and doesn't work well. If I start the timer on my phone sometimes it will just stop, sometimes it will miscommunicate with the website. The mobile app isn't reliable enough to depend on, so I stopped using it.

We are tracking our time so we can argue for more staff to our leadership team. By seeing where we are spending out time we can be more strategic about who we give our resources to.
