Clockify Review After a Year of Daily Use

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We work as virtual assistants and we use Clockify mainly for time and productivity tracking. I would say that the strongest suit of this tool is its affordability and the freedom that it provides when it comes to customizing what it tracks in your system. If I am going to compare this with other productivity tools, I would say that Clockify would be the most beginner and start-up friendly, and I would highly recommend this to anyone or any organization who's just starting. The user interface of Clockify is fairly simple as well. It's not too crowded and not too complicated and it appears to be modern for today's standards especially the way it looks.

Pros

  • Time tracking is very simple; you just hit start and let it run in the background.
  • Time editing is one of its strongest features and it lets you edit your time entries down to the second.
  • Clockify is fairly affordable compared to other time-tracking and productivity tools.

Cons

  • In general, manuals or how to use instructional videos are always welcome - just covering the very basic are very good to get everyone up and running.
  • Maybe work on your scalability - the main reason why we switched to a different provider is because the company was ramping up and the competitors have more features that come with not just time and productivity tracking.
  • I always like the classic blue and white pallets on the app but sometimes I just wish there's more option to customize how it looks just to give it a little more flavor.

Likelihood to Recommend

Clockify is an easy 10 over 10 recommendation for me. I would recommend this anyone especially if they're required to track their time and productivity while on the job. Office workers, tellers, bankers - any desk jobs really can very well use the awesome features of Clockify to the fullest extent. It is easy to use, very simple to set up, and doesn't require that much resource from your computer for up-keep.

Affordable and professional solution for time management

Rating: 7 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The problem is that time registration is usually seen as a boring administrative task by employees. Clockify facilitates time registration by providing many different ways for time tracking. The calendar feature in which you can copy and paste events, or the plugins available in several applications and browsers facilitate the task.

Pros

  • Link with your Outlook calendar
  • Simplification of time registration
  • Time off management
  • Expenses management

Cons

  • Project scheduling
  • Sometimes it is slow when loading data
  • The project page should include more info about person incurring the hours in a each task

Likelihood to Recommend

It is appropriate for small business with limited need in terms of project management.

Track your progress and workload easy

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use clockify to track my tasks and the time i am spending on each task and to track my progress at the end of the assigned task within one day or a couple of days and the most important thing that i can generate my timesheet at the end of the each week or month for submission and for my payment. Which has made my workload less and has saved my time rather writing it and later filling it and working on it.

Pros

  • Preparing my monthly timesheet
  • Tracking time of each task
  • Assigning the task for each individual
  • Tracking task and project progress
  • Continuing from where we left the task
  • Realtime time tracking

Cons

  • A person who is not working on the task can leave the timer on and record that at the end of the month in timesheet for payment.
  • Duration for some tasks can be lock and can be strict.

Likelihood to Recommend

I mentioned i am using clockify for the records of my time on each task i am working on or is going to be assigned for me. In the main time when i start working i am leaving the clockify on and that is how it made it easy for me yo directly submit my timesheet at the end of the month without wasting my time on recording it writing it and wirking on it at the end of the month.

Clockify not a good fit? You won't get a refund.

Rating: 1 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Selected this time tracking app for use with my company due to its integration with Quickbooks. I upgraded to a yearly billing cycle to take advantage of the QBO integration and paid the $95 fee. Discovered after two hours of setup that the QBO integration would not function as expected because my accountant has payroll enabled. I cancelled the account and requested a refund. Clockify refused to refund my money despite the fact I'd only used it for two hours stating (paraphrase) "we have a strict policy against refunds as stated in our terms of service". Funny thing, I don't recall seeing the "7-day trial period button" at any time during the sign up process for the QBO upgrade... but they blamed me and kept my money. Their solution was to offer me a concession—they would give me a $100 credit for my use if I decided to use their product in the next year assuming they fixed the issue that prevented me from being able to use their app. 1. Their QBO integration doesn't work with my business 2. They refused to refund my money by hiding behind their crappy terms of service Clockify kept my money. I will never, ever use this app again.

Pros

  • They don't give refunds if their app doesn't work as advertised.
  • They blame you for not reading their terms of service.
  • They may give you a credit for a product you can't use if you complain loudly enough but they still keep your money.

Cons

  • Their refund policy is atrocious in my opinion
  • Their QBO integration doesn't work if payroll is enabled in QBO but in my experience they don't tell you that until you sign up.

Likelihood to Recommend

Can't select zero—Zero out of ten—I will never recommend this product based on their terrible refund policy—In my experience, it doesn't matter if their customer service reps respond to you quickly or if the app works for most people.

A Simple and Effective Time Tracker

Rating: 10 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a solo consultant usually working on 1 or 2 projects. I have the free version of Clockify currently. I use it every day to track my time and then either weekly or monthly I use it to work out how much to invoice clients.

Pros

  • time tracking
  • analysis
  • project management

Cons

  • UI/UX
  • Desktop app doesn't open webpage correctly
  • freemium version is weak

Likelihood to Recommend

It does what it says on the tin, Tracks time correctly. You need to get into the habit of switching it on but once that happens it's great.

Time Tracking Made Simple

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are a remote-employee-based company with about 20 employees scattered across the US. We use Clockify to track our employees worked hours for payroll purposes. Because we do both billable and non-billable client work, we also track time for billable clients, so we can show the time worked on their accounts. Finally, we are using Clockify to improve our own time management by creating user-specific categories to track such things as reading/responding to email, attending internal meetings, training, and webinars, or other similar activities. By finding our biggest time-consuming categories over time, we can improve our productivity.

Pros

  • Time Tracking
  • Time Management
  • Useful for remote-based employees for payroll purposes.
  • Has mobile app, desktop app, and a website URL application, so it is very flexible.

Cons

  • No issues to report.

Likelihood to Recommend

Clockify is well suited for remote-based employees so employers can track their time worked. It is great for tracking time for billable client work as well as non-billable work.

Easy time tracking

Rating: 10 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This us helps track hours spent on implementations across the business as well as tracking billable vs non-billable hours for monthyl reconcilliation

Pros

  • Time Tracking
  • Project Grouping
  • Making it simple to track time
  • starting and stopping the same task when interrupted

Cons

  • sometimes I have issues with the date picker and it makes tasks look like they take multiple days
  • the default filters on reporting are odd to me - it would be easier to always show last week for example

Likelihood to Recommend

very well suited for companies that want to understand how long projects are taking to plan for the future as well as documenting billable hours by client

Clockify: A Freelancer's Best Friend

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use this as a tool for all of my freelance work. (social media, videography, photography, animation, etc). With clockify, I'm able to track my all of my hours for all of my projects in one place so I 1) don't have to use multiple platforms to track my work and 2) don't have to send time tracking to my clients but rather, a final invoice.

Pros

  • time tracking
  • reports
  • payout estimation

Cons

  • interface in general could be more user-friendly
  • there could be better organization across different " clients"
  • should be allowed to change rate for different tasks on free version

Likelihood to Recommend

I would recommend this for someone who is a freelancer with multiple clients, but would not recommend to a company who has multiple employees doing the same job every single day. It'd be easier to have them clock in on one platform, like Square, for example, which automatically can take out taxes (for W9 employees)

Time Well Spent

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My department (IT) and our Media department utilize Clockify. It is a great tool for us to see our time utilization across different projects and ministries that we support with our work. It helps us gauge employee time and how we can/need to use our time better to complete projects that are on our dockets.

Pros

  • time reporting
  • time clocking
  • project/client structuring

Cons

  • mobile app can be glitchy
  • would like to have multi-task tracking concurrently
  • more granular reporting

Likelihood to Recommend

anyone who works with multiple projects or clients at any given time would be well suited to utilize Clockify. you can have projects on going and if you complete the project and will never be returning to it you can archive it and still have access to the data for reporting.

Clockify: Time tracking and organization all in one

Rating: 9 out of 10
Incentivized

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Clockify to track tasks and hours for each of our clients. Our whole organization used Clockify. It helped a lot with time management and tracking how long each employee took to complete each task.

Pros

  • Organize tasks for clients
  • Equally distribute workload for employees

Cons

  • Organization of categories
  • Could have more customizable options for separating jobs

Likelihood to Recommend

Clockify is well suited for a company with multiple clients and multiple projects for each client. Keeping on top of these and tracking employee time for each of the tasks is a great fit for Clockify. It might be less appropriate for someone who just needs to punch-in on a time card and count hours.
