Overall Satisfaction with Harvest

We tie Harvest time tracking in with our Basecamp project management software to keep track of individual team member's time spent on projects so that we can bill our clients accurately, as well as having a record of project time spent so we can more accurately estimate similar projects the next time.

Pros

  • Built-in timer to use while working. Easy start & stop functions.
  • Ties in well with other project software to have all connected.
  • Breaks down team member's time for the day, week, etc and shows capacity.
  • Allows users to put in note for their work sessions.

Cons

  • Some browsers make it harder to create a Harvest project directly from a tied Basecamp project and you need to go in to Harvest directly, create the project there, and then link to Basecamp.
  • The best part is having a week-at-a-glance project hours per person in order to see their productiveness and efficiency.
  • Being able to determine where problems and work bottlenecks may be occurring and address any issue.
  • Having project hour notes at the tip of your fingers for quick and easy access, especially awhile after job completion.
Again, just a minor compatibility issues using with other platforms such as Basecamp, but it does do everything promised. The only downfall we have found is having to create a job in both platforms and then connecting them later vs being able to create a project once and having them automatically connect.
Harvest is a bit more robust and offers additional related options such as invoicing (which Clockify does not have) though most people invoice through another system anyway.

Do you think Harvest delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Harvest's feature set?

Yes

Did Harvest live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Harvest go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Harvest again?

Yes

Because of the functionality of other project management software, we do not fully utilize all of the functions that Harvest offers because they are already used in other programs (invoicing, etc), so some of it is overkill and you are paying for features you may never use in the Harvest app.
