Everhour Reviews

Logging hours in Basecamp 2 works really well.
They've definitely taken the time to think it through and look at usability.
It's really handy to have the start/stop buttons next to each task.

And the idea of being able to automatically pass that through to account software is a good one.

Sadly the integration with Quickbooks doesn't work
Invoice numbers are emptied and delivery email address is also removed
So it's a real pain to have to find and manually assign the correct sequential invoice number and address.

It's easier to copy and past the times from Everhour into a new invoice in QB
- but then that really defeats the whole point of the software!

Having spoken to the support team, I couldn't get a timescale for a fix.
They agreed it was unreasonable to pay for software whilst waiting for it to be made usable - but didn't have any other suggestions.
Good software needs good support and that wasn't a great response.

I'd love to use this software, but just can't wait indefinitely without any indication of how long for bugs to be resolved and sadly, competitors, much like Everhour all want an annual commitment
So it'll be at least 12 months of using something else before I can even think about looking at Everhour - by which time whatever alternative solution I've chosen will be entrenched in my business and difficult to change.

- The ease of integration with our ticketing tool (Pivotal Tracker) was exceptional.
- The in depth reporting is both easy to use and extremely robust.
- The time tracking for my development resource team was easier than with any other tool we have used, making it much easier for them to track their time accurately.

- The project syncing and updating from Pivotal Tracker does take a long time, even when syncing is manually enabled.

I love how it easily connects to Asana. It has a clean interface. It is easy to use. It generates clear reports.

The categories on the times sheets took me a bit to figure out.

Simple and intuitive
Very polished
Great reporting facility
Useful integrations

No API

I found this tool really not invasive and very easy to use. You can install the extension for chrome and then it just shows a tiny icon on the bar from where you can open the tool and see your activity and also start or stop tracking a task from there.
If you use asana on your company, then this tool will make time-tracking even easier thanks to its integration with asana.
When you're logged in asana you can start tracking from there already as a "play" icon will show next to every task from where you can start tracking by just clicking on it. The icon will turn into a "stop" icon so that you can stop tracking when you're done, or simply click on the play icon next to another task to start tracking next.
Another major and great feature of the tool is that you can generate reports of your tracking (or your team's tracking) that can be customisable to the very detail, allowing you to filter by multiple variables and time frames.

The reporting feature is powerful but can be a bit tricky to set up due to the fact that there are multiple options that you can select from.
So, you may need some time playing with them until you obtain exactly what you need.

I like having the timer embedded in the task items on my Asana projects. I don't forget to click my timer now. I also like the flexibility I have in tracking whatever needs to be tracked in a specific project. No two projects are ever the same and have different requirements for time tracking. I like the total time at the top of the project page and the reports i can run at the Everhour website. The task specific time tracking I can do with Everhour has helped me in estimating similar projects and evaluating contractor performance with my estimates.

I would like to see a total time for each section on my project page on Asana but if I have a critical need for this (such as a project revision) I can track the revision as a separate project in Asana and then I get total time at the top of the page for the revision.

With Everhour you can track the time you spend working on assignments or tasks easily. Thanks to its integration with Asana you can start tracking the time when you take a task from within the application, which makes things very easy, but not only that, you will also be able how much time you or other members have tracked on a given task.
You can also generate reports for you and your team for a given period of time that are totally customisable to your needs.

I still haven't found any con to this powerful yet simple tool.

Trello integration, easy to use, chrome plugin

Missing 'Submit' feature, but it was delivered recently as far as I remember

Integration with Asana is seamless -- it looks and feels like it's always just part of Asana. Easy to add and edit time.
The reports are also excellent in terms of customizability.

Time needs to be tracked at the task level (in many use cases, it would be sufficient to track time at the project level).
Asana tasks need to be inside projects (can't track ad-hoc things easily).
There is a Slack integration but it's not very useful -- it's only for reporting, not tracking time.

Reliability and ease of use across any browser - integration with Asana is key for our business.

sometimes the integration with Asana is a little buggy and requires a refresh

Smooth integration with Trello, multiple activity can be tracked with detailed timing and comments

Reports could be most customizable (grouping/sum per categories/projects), I'm using to support billing to customers, I get more or less what I want but by twisting the tool

Makes it really easy to estimate/record time for Asana tasks. So I always have a very clear idea of how long it could take me and what it actually does take me to accomplish key tasks.

You can't put time estimates on recurring tasks, which isn't a dealbreaker, but I wish it had that capability.

Intuitive integration into our chosen system (Asana) meant developers and designers never had to leave the main platform. This aided adoption and users could easily report time on the most granular of tasks without a PM creating them manually.

The ability to collect estimates and the customisable reporting were also strong points.

When adding a person to a project they weren't immediately able to book time to tasks. This meant resyncing from within app.everhour.com or waiting.

It's very intuitive to use. It has the richest set of features of any time tracking app we've used with Asana.

I forget to stop the timer sometimes. Having an auto-stop feature based on x number of idle minutes or some other trigger that would make sense would be great.

We looked at a lot of software to integrate with Asana and Xero to track our project time—and this one was the only one that ticked all the boxes. The feature set is great at achieving what we need and helping us better understand how we spend time on projects. It works seamlessly with our other apps! The support is also really responsive, answering any questions we've had and taking our recommendations into account on product updates.

Reporting can stand updates but with the amount of changes they've made since we signed up, I only anticipate this to improve. One thing that is annoying is the inability to see when a time was logged, which is needed when you forget to start your time and are trying to work back to figure out the time you spent doing something.

I use Everhour with Asana and the sync is great. The reports are also all you could ask for and more.

There isn’t anything that i would change. N/a

Integration with Trello is a plus. Also the easy way to see all time spend from everyone of the team is a good feature.

I think the ux could be better. I do have some trouble setting up new reports and filtering information.

Everhour is extremely easy to use. The interfaces on the website are really intuitive and information is really easy to find. It also integrates with our project management system, Basecamp, which streamlines the systems we use to track our team members' time spent on each project. It has also helped us monitor where our time is most spent between administrative, operations, BD and projects and comes highly recommended by us.

The only weakness of the product to date is that it doesn't integrate with our Basecamp app on our mobile devices or desktop. This means we have to use Basecamp on our websites to track our time and we also cannot edit our times on Basecamp and must go back to Everhour site to edit hours.

It helps us manage the time our team spends on their tasks and maintain healthy projects

It takes time to go through all timesheets for all team members

Ease of use. Few steps to get things done. Nice reports with links that make sense when we are viewing the report in the app.

Excel reports could be more customizable. The description of the activity is not shown on the Excel worksheet. HTML reports could have links to these descriptions or there could be a way for our client to access data online, in the app, in a separate, view only account.

- We can easily add time for the tasks we do and helps to bill the customers.
- Integrations are good to track tasks from various other sources like trello, Asana

- The UI is bit tricky and needs some learning to actually get the full product out of it
- The pricing is bit costly and there is not free available for small teams.

Ease of use, best Asana integration, reasonably priced. Does what I need it to do, reaonably priced, customer support is responsive.

No major cons. It would be nice to be able to have a separate time tracker desktop app that is not web based and pushes data to the web. So that you can rapidly switch taks timers as you work.

We use Everhour across the team to manage timesheets for all project. We have found the user interface and reporting to be great

There isnt an android app, but otherwise good. There are a lot of integration options but documentation needs a little work

Easy to use - simple for both me as an administrator and my techs as regular users.

Comprehensive reporting - I can see all the time that techs log, along with the project data. I can arrange this in a plethora of different ways to suit my needs.

Asana Integration - We use Asana to mange our projects, so being able to seamlessly integrate saves a lot of work.

Chrome/Safari Extension - Compatible with just about any computer setup you may be running.

Invoicing feature only supports those who exclusively sell labor, not goods. We have projects where we spend time, but also have to sell parts. For this reason, the invoicing feature for us goes unused.

Keeps everything tidy and organized and seamlessly connects with Asana

There are some missing features when trying to look for specific information, which could make thins challenging
