Paymo Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

While I am aware that Paymo offers a great variety of features, we primarily use it for time tracking and issuing invoices. It is used by a number of people (for tasks that should be time tracked) but mostly admin people. First off, it provides simple time-tracking, connected to specific projects, which is again tied to what I use the most, and that is issuing invoices.

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it is the best invoicing tool, no doubt about it. It is connected to projects, does all the calculation, produces beautiful and neat invoices (customized to your liking). Time-tracking also works great for me, but I just like the UX. I wouldn't use it as a team collaboration tool, perhaps because I went mentally agile, but still may work for some other people.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Paymo to track team members' time working on client projects. The entire company uses Paymo to do this. We even track unbillable time to track productivity.

Likelihood to Recommend

Paymo is suited for small to medium sized businesses. I can see where it might be difficult to manage for larger companies.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Paymo is a hybrid way for our Marketing and Communications departments to handle digital advertising scheduling along with coordinating the creation of assets for digital campaigns and other internal initiatives. It allows us to get a helicopter view of the month at a glance, assign projects and tasks between creative and editorial, and add comments/files to tasks and projects as the scope changes.

Likelihood to Recommend

Beautiful interface throughout, easy setup, most natural progressions are fluid and easy to use. Browser functionality allows us to use it cross-platform. Very reasonable pricing model as well. We have had a little trouble using Paymo for the entire creative process to have proofs reviewed and approved. Also, have to use external forms to have work submitted from campus.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Paymo is being used across the entire organization for managing time, projects, and workflows. This platform solves new client/project on-boarding, time management for designers, accounting and invoicing for AP/AR. Additionally, we've got this connected to our payment and payroll platform as well so this one tool manages a great deal of our day to day task management.

Likelihood to Recommend

We've found Paymo is a great solution for our small business (&gt;30 people) that do project based engagements. Agencies and other organizations that have a lot of moving parts could really get their money's worth from Paymo.<div>

</div><div>Paymo might be too complex for a freelancer or individual designer and lacks the automated functionality for businesses that do the same type of work over and over for an individual client. </div>

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I'm a freelance consultant providing proposal management services in the engineering/transportation space, and I use Paymo to track my time and create invoices for my clients. The main problem Paymo addresses are having a centralized, streamlined process for tracking and billing time for my many clients.

Likelihood to Recommend

It works well for me because my business is small enough that I don't have subcontractors and I don't need to use a full-fledged accounting system. I don't think Paymo links super easily into Quickbooks, for example (I could be wrong -- I think I've tried and found I would have to use several third-party syncing apps to make it work). But for basic time-tracking and invoicing and very basic invoice/payment tracking, Paymo does the job.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Since going freelance, I've used Paymo as my principle time tracking app for client-based work. I use it for tracking all of my projects and share the live time reports with my hourly-billed clients. Not only does the app work great, both in the web form and the mobile version, but the support team were excellent in helping me figure out how to get things set up when I first started, including helping me determine how to code certain projects so that I could offer my clients (most of whom are nonprofits) differing rates based upon the specifics of the project and its funding requirements. Even better, when the company changed their billing, after adding new features that I didn't quite need, I found that their newly-revised basic plan suited all that I needed - saving me money each month without my needing to adapt the way I'd been doing things.

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited: tracking time, making notes to share with clients, live reporting. Less so: tracking and bookkeeping - they don't market it as a bookkeeping app, though they do allow for invoicing through it. Still, my needs are such that I use a separate app for tracking receipts against a project and then invoicing clients.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our marketing department is using Paymo mainly for two functions. One is to keep track of how much time is spent on non-profitable administrative tasks so that we can justify hiring another admin and the second is used to track hours spent working on trade shows and other events to get the true cost of those events. We do track all other tasks and projects in Paymo as well. Right now it is only used in our Marketing department.

Likelihood to Recommend

Paymo has been a useful tool for us to justify needing another administrative team member because of all the time we were able to attribute to those tasks. It would be helpful if we were able to group our events together when examining the bigger picture time spent. Being able to manipulate the data after the fact would bring my 8 recommendation to a 10.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I've encouraged people in our office to use Paymo as a time tracking tool, but I doubt it's being used across our organization. It helps track time on our individual jobs, which is important to ensure that we get paid appropriately.

Likelihood to Recommend

Great for tracking time if you jump around to different projects often, but a huge learning curve - especially for those who are not as flexible with technology.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Paymo to track and bill employee time, manage customer projects and timelines, invoice for billable hours, flat-rate projects and expenses, and track our performance against projected time allowances for tasks.

Likelihood to Recommend

Paymo is great for project management with a distributed team. It does a wonderful job of pulling all of the management tools needed to run a business together into one intuitive package. It doesn't have a chat app included in the platform, and we wish there was Glip integration to fill that gap.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Paymo is being used across our department for tracking projects and time for the week. We also use it to track ROI on tradeshows.

It was designed to measure the need for additional personnel and time spent on non-related marketing activities.

Likelihood to Recommend

Anyone looking to track project time based on tasks. It is not defined by costs, you can just see time. It is also great for trade show tracking of expenses. I highly recommend it for supervisors and project managers.
