Paymo

Avantages

I like paymo Time tracking because it can detect any software opened during time tracking

Inconvénients

Sometime when i open task it dont want open

Avantages

We love how easy and straightforward it can be. It’s simple to set up and easy for the team to use. It’s very basic and covers just what we need.

Inconvénients

We don’t love that the custom service is hard to get a hold of. Theres been some features that we ideally would like tweaked and they aren’t open to suggestions.

Avantages

- Paymo is user friendly.
- Paymo gives you a chance to see where you invest your time in.
- The different colors per project give you structured insights.
- The timesheet reports have "live tracking", which means you only have to create one and it will update every time you open it and show you your spent hours per month per task (you can choose which details you see).
- The responsiveness is excellent. It's never slow.
- You can see what your colleagues are working on and keep track of mutual time tracking of meetings.

Inconvénients

- The "copy" feature doesn't work sometimes. It just doesn't copy or doesn't paste (at all or at the right spot).
- For newer projects: sometimes the person who created the tasks, adds more tasks under different titles. It makes it difficult to find the right place to log. The admin should have great structure skills and should try to keep the task list structure the same for each project in order not to confuse his colleagues who log tasks.

Avantages

It's simply the cheapest option for time tracking, project management + automatic invoicing. Unfortunately some essential features need upgrading each time. It is sad that we don't get more with Small Office than Kaban. Still, it is the cheapest for making clean invoices.

Inconvénients

It lacks some project management options such as adding description text or brief to projects. Ideally it should be visible on one screen -> Project summary then the list of tasks.

Avantages

I've been using Paymo for years, and I don't plan to switch. It's easy to use, reasonably priced, and it is continuously updated and improved.

Inconvénients

I don't use the project management features because I don't need them. So for me, that aspect is overkill. But I am sure other people need those features.

Avantages

I like that I can manage multiple projects over many clients and keep organised with an easy to view dashboard.

I like that everything is integrated from quoting to task creation and time tracking and then invoicing.

Inconvénients

The invoice creation integrates well with Xero but the invoice numbers don't match which makes it difficult to track. Also, once an invoice has been paid in Xero, it doesn't feed back to Paymo to mark it as paid.

Avantages

Priced to replace the free versions of the software.
Automation of invoices, compared to using Pages template. If more work is completed for an un-invoiced project, editing the invoice is a simple process.
The dashboard to keep track of all projects makes things much easier, compared to my old Google Sheets attempt at a project tracker.
Archiving completed projects allows quick filtering of only the important things.
Time reports allow a quick insight into what is still to be invoiced.

Inconvénients

I would like a quick notes section added to the dashboard, A daily checklist of the work day, rather than a specific project.

Odoo et QuickBooks Online

Pourquoi passer à Paymo

There were a lot of free versions of what Paymo offers, but having them all in one product is perfect. Odoo is the most recent one I've considered, but it would take a lot for me to move.

Avantages

Really helpful tool for project task management, tracking, establishing deadlines, planning resources. It’s essential for me to track my time working with each project to ensure staying on budget and also manage my own invoice.

Inconvénients

Would love different colours in the tasks and also that we can add hourly rates beyond just £ as that makes our invoice tracking a bit tricky. Would also love to manage an entire task from the front task mask (add hour estimates etc)

Avantages

Fairly straight forward interface, customer support is helpful, but with some delay.

Inconvénients

Some bugs after app update that have not been worked out - new releases do not always work well with Safari - a bit costly for what it is - desktop app is severely outdated, very low resolution (blurry) on modern high resolution monitors - new desktop app needs to be developed - no ability to view, create or edit invoices, estimates, projects or client info in the IOS mobile app. The IOS mobile app is only useful for time keeping, which is pretty much useless.

Avantages

The clear time tracking combined with the project overview gives us as a good overview of the company.

Inconvénients

The daily tasks of empoyees are not in use. This could be improved. Other apps seem better at daily tasks and small daily overviews. We use paymo more for the 'bigger picture'.

Avantages

We need to track the progress for several, multiple projects for both, time budget and estimated tasks.

Inconvénients

In the past the invoicing and estimation templates are not the best. I need my CSS knowledge to fit them within a german document template. There must be an updated templating, but i just didn't found the time to test it out.

Avantages

Task management and time tracking is baked into ONE system so you pay once, not for two different systems. Easy to use like Asana, but packed with more functionality, like Clickup – but much better than either.

Inconvénients

Paymo can’t (yet) set a price per word for invoicing articles, and due to legal requirements in the UK, I have to export invoices to Quickbooks and send them from there rather than directly from Paymo.

Can’t remember all options, but we looked at everything we could find. Paymo had all the functionality in one system and was reasonably priced for a small business.

Avantages

Value for money, ease of set-up, timesheet format, project overview dashboard, Feature roadmap & community feedback forum

Inconvénients

Sub-task handling, Task editor side-panel, Task template handling, Lack of project stage functionality option

Pourquoi passer à Paymo

Best timesheet handling. Excellent project overview dashboard

Avantages

I like that Paymo can be used with different setups and requirements. As a freelancer, I can set up my clients, my projects and keep track of all of them. It's a critical app for me.

Inconvénients

The mobile app needs more refinement. As i invite guests over to my project dashboard, I am currently unable to notify them whenever I post a comment. This has been unsresolved for a while so I barely use the app.

Trello is very easy to start out with, but it lacks collaboration features and time tracking. Collaboration is better when in the paid tier but that exceeds Paymo, since you have to pay for a seat for every client.

Pourquoi passer à Paymo

Paymo had a competitive pricing in comparison.

Avantages

In my role as a marketing professional, Paymo has become my go-to solution for managing tasks and tracking time entries efficiently. Its all-in-one platform simplifies everything from organizing projects to monitoring billable hours. I particularly appreciate how seamlessly I can switch between tasks and log time entries, ensuring accuracy in my project timelines. This functionality not only helps me stay on top of deadlines but also enables me to generate precise invoices for clients based on the time spent on each task. With Paymo, I can focus more on delivering quality work and less on administrative hassles.

Inconvénients

maybe the fact that I cannot see time entries for my team members in an easy way.

Avantages

Easy to track time and see calendar view on timesheets to visualise your day. Easy to create a project and great to see different viewing options such as table or gantt depending on how you need to visualise a project.

Inconvénients

Scheduling/resource management could be better. We can't register the time that an employee may work every week as some are part-time. (as far as I know) And we can't build out a person's day in a calendar style similar to timesheets to dictate when they should be working on something.

Avantages

We love the time tracking and project management combined in Paymo, it allows for 1 tool for our team rather than having multiple softwares to do what we need. We use time tracking + the task/project management heavily, so it's awesome to have it in 1 product.

Inconvénients

There's just some small features I think that will come that would be great. Some minor things, like adding expenses from the project view for example. But it's great we can add feedback and suggest edits.

Avantages

I like how it fits my workflow, it feels natural. I tried many other programs similar to it and they all felt counterintuitive to me.

Inconvénients

Honestly it's been great , I feel I need to take the time to explore it's capabilities more.

Avantages

I really like the time-tracking methods, tracking project tasks, sub-tasks, etc. Running the reports in different formats is super useful.

Inconvénients

The timing tracking for invoicing is tricky since we have a mix of types of billable expenses on a project. I still export our timesheets to do the calculations and then send an invoice in QuickBooks.

Pourquoi passer à Paymo

It was easy to use. Good discount for small businesses. Liked the different viewing options.

Avantages

The ease of tracking time and automating invoicing is essential with a team of one!

Inconvénients

Some of the convenience features are only available to the higher paid plans. I feel that those features should be available to all paid plans. Only entirely separate functions should be unlocked with higher plans.

Avantages

Easy to setup and use. We've developed models based on various project types and Paymo made its way into our daily routine.

Inconvénients

The only feature missing for us as a small business consultancy is the ability to customize a viewing feature of a project plan and progress for various roles outside the delivery team. I'm confident though that the product team will build it.

Avantages

We love the time tracking and task management. Hands down easiest and executed well.

Inconvénients

Invoicing. Needed to do recurring monthly, quarterly, yearly invoicing for retainers and subscriptions. Was not available at the time.

Avantages

Easy setup of projects and assigning staff members. Easy to track times on projects for all involved. Easy to track work done and money earned.

Inconvénients

Setting up own invoice template. Considering German legals about invoicing. Honestly, i did not spent enough time to go through possibilites and even check if it can cover my needs.

Avantages

Time tracking works well and tracked time as well as tasks can be billed. Invoice creation works, but could be improved.

Inconvénients

The PDF rendering of invoices (and estimates) could really be improved.

Avantages

Paymo stands out as a comprehensive solution for time tracking and project management, particularly catering to freelancers and small to medium-sized businesses seeking a harmonious blend of functionality and user-friendly design. Its intuitive interface ensures that users can effortlessly navigate through various features, including time tracking, project management, and invoicing, making it an all-in-one tool for managing projects from inception to billing. Paymo's strength lies in its detailed reporting capabilities and the integration of a Kanban board, which allows for seamless task management and progress tracking.

Inconvénients

Paymo might fall slightly short in terms of the breadth of integrations and advanced features offered by larger, more established project management tools. Additionally, for very large teams or organizations with highly specialized needs, Paymo's one-size-fits-all approach might not provide the same level of customization or scalability as some of the other leading platforms in the market. Nonetheless, for its target audience, Paymo presents a compelling blend of features, ease of use, and value for money.

Avantages

It helps me to plan my day and schedule my tasks. it allows my to track time spent on different projects by my and my team and therefore to assign work to different team members more effectively.

Inconvénients

That I cannot plan the tasks in real time (the calendar like feature) or that after assigning time to a certain task the day is not planned by Paymo.

Avantages

The set up is simple and all of the tools are readily available in the GUI. I don't use the app, but the online structure is sufficient and more than capable to handle my work load.

Inconvénients

I have yet to find a downside to this product. It continues to deliver

Avantages

Ease of use for multiple clients and multiple projects and multiple users.

Inconvénients

If you quick create a new project there’s not a way to add a template from that screen.

Avantages

It's easy to setup and use. You can use it straight forward and adding clients and projects is easy.

Inconvénients

The fact there is no 2-way authentication is really a thing here, also the lack on smaller accounts is a miss. We only use time tracking, invoicing and basic clients and projects. We don't need canban boards or options like that.

Avantages

Dragging and dropping time and slots into the weekly timesheet manager is very easy to use, color coded time slots are nice.

Inconvénients

Many small functionalities with the task tracking lacks my needs. But requests to change those aspects have gone unanswered.

Avantages

Great customer service. Lots of customizability.

Inconvénients

I only wish I could integrate google cal into the app and not just the browser.
For less tech-savvy users, it has been slightly challenging to navigate, but that's expected. I'm more tech fluent, and I find it very intuitive.

Pourquoi passer à Paymo

Better nonprofit discount. Love the report feature. Monday.com seems to have better task management system, but time tracking was more important to us, so we went with paymo.

Avantages

Paymo has every crucial tool any small agency could need for kick-starting business. Its simplicity makes it easy to learn and implement, and when you compare it with more specific tools, it saves you a lot of time

Inconvénients

As every other one-size-fits-all solution, Paymo doesn't excel on any of the tasks it covers. Of course managing projects thru an specific task management will be ultimately better, same as with invoicing, but it would require dedicated manpower taking care of those as well. Paymo compromises specificity for ease to use and maintain, so you'll have to adapt processes to Paymo and not the other way around.

Pourquoi passer à Paymo

Paymo does what these other three tools do separately, easier and at a lower cost.

Avantages

- Ease of setting it up
- Ease of making new projects
- How flexible the time report options are

Inconvénients

- Invoice generation is quite slow sometimes
- It's not easy to add time entries from multiple projects on 1 invoice
- It isn't easy to remind customers of outstanding invoices manually
- Sometimes the totals in the table views aren't correct due to lazy loading the results

Avantages

It's very user-friendly. It's easy for users to join projects, and from the beginning, it's clear what they should be doing in the product. I highly value real-time reporting, which I provide to clients, and everyone has control over the budget and transparency.

Inconvénients

I'm missing a feature where I could plan the allocation of individuals based on the backlog of tasks. The goal is to check whether a person is executing planned tasks in a given week or if support is needed.

Avantages

Time and project management
Tasks and sub tasks are very useful

Inconvénients

Timesheet by 15mn/30mn
We are working with 20mn/40mn I our Internal process

Avantages

I appreciate the ease of creating projects and the possibility of modifying them; management through multiple administrators is a great solution.

Inconvénients

The difficulty in moving a project from "new business" to "standard"; the formulation of reports should also be more immediate with the export of a simplified Excel file to be delivered to end customers where the differentiation is already present in:
date*/activity*/operator/hours* spent and general total

Avantages

Easy to use and intuitive interface
Efficient time tracking with features like always-on timers
Streamlined invoicing based on timesheets
Project management features like task boards and to-do lists
Well-regarded customer support

Inconvénients

May lack some advanced features for complex projects
Limited ability to show specific dates worked on invoices

Avantages

The interface of paymo is user-friendly and easy to operate. It allows you to monitor your budget time of the project specifically. On top of that, you can review your work efficiency with full time sheet record.

Inconvénients

Sometime the website is abit lag. For example, the project/task is selected wrongly due to lag/delay problem on website. However, I am not sure if this due to script issue or office network issue.

Avantages

I love how easy it is to use paymo. It helps us see how much time we are spending in multiple areas. You can create specific tasks, projects that hold the tasks, and clients that hold the projects. Paymo is great for all things time tracking and seeing how much time or budget is spent on tasks.

Inconvénients

I don't think there is anything I dislike. I have not run into a flaw. I don't like how it names task lists automatically "default task list" though.

Avantages

Paymo is super intuitive and easy to use. It is inexpensive and it has so many features. It makes things easy when tracking your time and importing it into an invoice. I like that you can track in real time and do manual time inputs.

Inconvénients

About a year ago it was super glitchy, but it has improved a ton since then.

Avantages

We use Paymo for time management, or at least tracking the hours spent on projects.
For this purpose it works. The interface is easy to use and it time entry is a breeze.

Inconvénients

Paymo is not the best solution out there, but not the worst either.
I would not say there is a particular bad thing about Paymo, rather that it comes down to personal preference. I, and I'm sure I'm not alone in this, find timesheet entry a pain, regardless of what time tracking software is being used. Is there a better way of doing this? Yes, but I have not developed it, yet.

Avantages

A simple system for tracking time spent on multiple concurrent projects.
The Kanban view lets me see tasks in order of priority.

Inconvénients

The cost of a second user (associate) is prohibitive to me as a sole trader.

Avantages

Easy, scalable, has a good pace in implementing new feature, good support

Inconvénients

It's mora task/time manager. No specific features for project management

Avantages

An excellent resource for companies wishing to scale up and manage efficiency and quality. Remove the stress and focus on what you do best

Inconvénients

The project management can get in the way of itself and isn’t as intuitive as it can be switching between time, projects, clients and invoices but it’s improving every month

Inconvénients

So far there are no significant issues with the tool and we are satisfied with the results.

Avantages

Easy to use and to onboard new team members.

Inconvénients

Time tracking as it's not very constant based on if person is not on screen

Avantages

Paymo is intuitive and easy to use. It's a simple and effective way for our business to track time spent on projects.

Inconvénients

It'd be great if there were some 'explainer'/training videos to help users to understand and access additional functionalities.

Avantages

I really like the Paymo Track time management tool which can sync with my desktop apps. The small widget allows me to track time while also having other work on the screen at the same time. Being able to have a way of tracking time which isn't on another browser tab is invaluable to me.

Inconvénients

I find the way Paymo Track clumps together some of my tasks on the timeline view hard to use. I often have to switch tasks quite regularly due to the nature of my work so this makes it a bit harder sometimes for me to allocate my time to the appropriate client.

Avantages

Basic use is very easy. I like that service has mobile app mac app that I use daily.

Inconvénients

The mac app should support more than just time tracking. You should at least be able to see the card information. Sometimes if multiple people are put on the same card it is annoying if the card is in process if you are not yourself active on that card. Also all the cards that you are tagged in, do not show up to your own task list.
