Tick Reviews

it's easy to set up, find and edit projects.

I don't like that there are only a certain amount of Ticks available to use, I think i have 50, and I don't know if you can change that, since I'm just the end-user and not the purchaser. I also would like to have a pop out window to use, instead of constantly have to go back to the site to change, stop and start a project, very annoying.

Integration with Basecamp was pretty vital for our business. We had to find a way to track our hours and at the time BC didn't really have many good options. This solved that problem.

It is pretty difficult to import projects from BC into Tick. Once you figure out all the gotchas, it works. Not the best workflow though.

Ability to click and prefill a tick entry with a previously entered item so I don't have to re-enter everything. I also like that I can access my tick from various locations and they are all sync'd. So, starting a timer in one place shows up in another.

I'd prefer to enter time manually as 1:45 for an hour and 45 minutes instead of 1.75. Other than that, it's efficient for my needs.

Taking into account that it is a simple tool, time tracking is simple to do and adding hours only takes a few clicks. I like the possibility of changing the days in which to add the time used from tabs, access is much easier.

The view of hours charged per month seems a bit untidy and basic; when there is a need to have a monthly control over the tracked hours, the tool falls short and it is confusing to see the summary.

My job required some pretty detailed time tracking for up to 8 clients in a day. Tick made that easy. There is a "start a task"/"finished with a task" feature that I used occasionally but my work was mainly interrupt driven so manually entering the times worked better for me.

The Chrome extension has some strange behavior at times that make it lose your already-typed data. You have to *carefully* click on buttons to be sure they were actually clicked. Even so, I prefer the extension to using the web site.

I really like Tick's simple system of keeping track of projects. Many project management apps are confusing and are too complicated and big. Tick let's you keep track of how long you need to spend on each project. It doesn't try and be more than what it is, and I really like the ability to start and stop a timer within the software.

There are some projects that I work on in Tick and it is hard to classify wear it belongs with Tick's organization. I wish I could tag a project and subproject in multiple locations.

It's simple and intuitive it doesn't overwhelm you with bells and whistles, it just does what it's supposed to do and does it well.

The software is great, but of course, remembering to do hours sucks. Maybe there could be features like reminders or reoccuring time blocks for events and projects that are repeated.

I looked into this tool a couple years back when I really needed a tool to help me stay organized and on top of deadlines. Tick has come in handy so many times and has reminded me of so many things that I would have forgotten about.

This is a very lovely feature as time grew on I have become more computer savvy and realized I can set deadlines straight from outlook or through my calendar on my Iphone. It does make sense to have all reminders in one place and that i why we continue to use Tick.

Tick - excellent service for interacting with the team and clients during photoshoots. As a photographer, I often use various props for shooting and work in a team with hairstylists, makeup artists, and retouchers. With Tick, we can easily plan and organize photoshoots, create tasks for the team, and track progress. It allows me to set deadlines for tasks and notify team members about events, necessary props, and the start time of the shoot. My clients can easily access the shooting schedule as well as agree on a convenient time and date for them. It significantly simplifies the process of planning and organizing work, allowing me to focus on executing the shooting idea and satisfying clients

For very complex projects or teams with a large number of participants, its functionality may seem limited due to the set of features that would be desired to have

I almost always have the project name in my head - being able to autofill rather than browse keeps my mind from being interrupted. The same goes for the task - autofill beats browsing all the time, but it's great to know I have browsing were I to need it (1 time out of 20).

The way each entry saves in an inline container all on the same page has always been helpful. I take shorthand notes on paper throughout the day of my time rounded to the quarter hour. Seeing everything at once helps me to confirm I didn't miscalculate hours.

The fact that it could be a little bit more but probably can't be.

I'm a freelancer and use all kinds per studio. Tick achieves the time tracking capabilities I need at this office. As far as time tracking & reporting goes I find Harvest to be the best, you guys second. They're even simpler - at least on the the main level. You have them beat on the secondary level of autofill. If you wanted to be more than tracking & reports and included planning I think you could take down Liquid Planner & Mavenlink.

If you integrated the visual style and structure of Teamweek's horizontal timeline you might have a corner on the market. You could beat out Liquid Planner (too clunky and granular) & Mavenlink (not enough specificity).

I don't see the need to overreach into asset management. Basecamp is better than Liquid Planner for project asset tracking but more and more people are relying on Dropbox/Drive + a Google spreadsheet. Thus people might use you for time tracking, team scheduling, budget forecasting/reports - and then leave the asset management to the more agile Dropbox/Drive/Box world.

I use Tick daily to help monitor and track the time I spend on various projects. I do some freelance work that requires keeping track of hours worked on a project and would be lost without Tick. I love the plug-in for Google Chrome that enables me to easily start and stop the timer without opening another program or window. It's been a lifesaver!

If you want to have more functionality (additional projects, etc.) you may have to pay more for a plan with those features but it seems more than comparable with other software on the market.

Adding and updating features is most important for any application and Tick does the same, it keeps on updating and adding new features. Easy to understand, use and manage the task. Ease of use what I like the most, you can use it on web/mobile anywhere and be updated with the notification on the go.

For me, there is nothing to complain about it. I wish I could integrate this application and send automated time sheets to all.

Works on via the web as well as software installed on Mac or PC. For a company like ours who use a variety of browsers and operating systems, this seems to work the same for everyone. My preference is the web interface as it allows me to enter time as I'm doing it, ahead of time, or after the fact. I use the widget on the Mac side to provide regular reminders to log my time, which is the kick in the tush I usually need.

With a lot of projects on the account, it can take a while to switch from entering time into existing projects to editing that project or creating a new one. Doesn't integrate with our other project software (or we haven't tried to do so), so there's no detail to the projects...just a reference to log the time.

The most practical and intuitive software I've used in terms of time tracking. It offers every necessary tool to organise yourself better in your daily work.

The lack of features related to reporting.

We evaluated a lot of other tools until we found tick. It is a great tool for multi tasking. I really like the fact that there is a free version which is really handy. It's really important to understand, as a manager, how the team is doing and where is the most time being utilised in. Tick helps us stay productive and provides with insights which we incorporate in our future programs.

It has to be a bit faster than it is. There is no room for being how efficient you can be and one of things I do not like is, it being slow at times.

It's make one to know if he/she is behind on hours to speed up in order to finish the actual time. One can know how he spend hours for actual job and monitor one activities within the time frame given and stopping time also.

So far as for me I think it's good. I think the company can improve with the new features and if they can come up with a feature whereby if it's past 12 hours the ticker to stop it self. I believe this feature will help many.

Tick is so intuitive and easy to navigate between projects and days.

I've worked with may timetracking systems and Tick was the best. I can't think of anything I don't like.

I’m happy that we use Tick, which helps me track how much time I work on a task and if I’m spending useless time on things that don’t need much attention. This software made me see things in a different perspective.

Although I find the software very helpful for my time tracking needs and functions, I don’t find the software user-friendly. It took time for me to get acquainted and I wish it was simpler for me to use.

I liked the clean interface and the ability to check on previous dates. I felt it was easy to use with my bosses and that they were clear about my time keeping because of this app.

I disliked the way the website would crash pretty often and that my phone couldn't handle having this app and my other heavy data usage app open at the same time. There was a lot of finicky changes one had to know about before using, not super intuitive.

It is basically a digital punch card that you can have with you all the time in your smartphone. The Android and iOS app are useful in this regard.
It is great if your team work from home or remote and you want to keep track of their working hours and productivity. You can keep track of the hours invested in a project without much trouble which is good for your budget. Payroll with definitely benefits from it.

It's price could be an issue if you have a really low budget. Everyone should be really organized to use it well and efficiently.

so easy to manage my time and then to be able to bill my clients. very effective with having different tasks to choose from, easily keeps you organized per client and per employee working on each project.

having to always sign in when using the app on my iphone. wish it would log in automatically like most apps as it's just one extra step when you have a busy day at the office.
