I am a practicing cardiologist who uses Timeslips to track time and provide invoices for the time I spend as a medical-legal consultant. I database has been accumulated over 20 years. This is what I have not changed to a competing software product. The lack of integration with the web makes this product very outdated.
Pros
I have been using this software for > 20 yrs. I am familiar with how to use it don't want to learn a new system.
Cons
In the 20 years I have had Timeslips, it has changed little. It has gotten more expensive each year and currently requires an annual subscription. Tech support now requires an on-line submittal with follow up phone calls. Their tech support hours are not convenient if you work away from your home office. I pay for unlimited tech support since each call is very costly if you do not have the subscription.

I chose timeslips because I started working with it early in my career in 1992. I stayed with it when I went out on my own.
Pros
I like the timer function and the spell check features. I like the ability to record time on my phone and download it into the program.
Cons
I don't use it to its full capacity because I don't need to. But it has a lot of features. I don't like the biling format feature. It is hard to understand.

Love this product. Wish the pricing was more afordable for a small firm, but we have no plans to change.
Pros
There are other billing platforms and products out there, but the consistent reliability of Sage Timeslips and its features make it a must-have for accurate law firm timeslips entry, billing, accounting, and maintaining client contact. Our firm has used Timeslips for over 20 years now. The customer service is one of th best for tech support as well. Timeslips tech support are incredibly knowleadgable and courteous. They often fix an issue within minutes of initiating a call for help, and they will also make sure to run a full diagnostic and fix other matters we might not know exist to ensure no additional problems arise.
Cons
No tech support on weekends. We sometimes have issues arise on weekends, and it would be ideal if there was support even if it was for a shorter time-period on the weekends. Since support is provided remotely, it is not clear why weekend support is not provided. For a business, we operate 24/7 and use TimeSlips daily. We cannot have a lack of access or some other issue crop up and wait till Monday to fix it. This cut-back was one major disappointment, especially given the costs for annual tech support contract.

As noted above, I have used this program for my time/expense tracking for over 2 decades. That say more than any words could describe.
Pros
I have used Timeslips since just prior to the turn of the century. I am familiar with many aspects of the program and like it enough to retain.
Cons
It was more cost effective when I could purchase the program and upgrade only every couple years. Now it is annual subscription based which tripled my cost. I have experienced difficulties it generating differing invoice layouts.

I do love the program. I just need more custom fields in the slip entry that can be used in reports.
Pros
Multi-user time capture and billing system. Easy to run single invoices that need to go out daily and large quarterly billings. Easy to look up details of past projects for clients and also running time reports of employees/per department.
Cons
We need more custom fields in the slip entry so that we can capture more information needed in our reports. Requests for Proposals are requiring more information and timeslips does not have the capability to capture all the necessary information that we need for most of our reports. Most RFP's ask for five years of information so it would really be nice if I could house all the information in a slip entry verses running a TS report and combining it reports from other systems.

It's a good product, I hope you can tell I am passionate about it. But it is getting passed by every other product it competes with. It was the best. It's not anymore. Sage themselves file this on the website under SMALL BUSINESS...maybe we have just outgrown it? Sage doesn't consider us a Medium Sized business, I guess? Only recently has Sage announced an online product that is designed for business that "aren't complicated". In March. And still won't be available until summer 23. There are so many other products out there, mostly all in the cloud with sleek and easy apps, I cannot recommend Timeslips after being with it for more then a decade. We are leaving...
Pros
It does do the job very well. Billing works great. We have a billing department that are experts with the software so it all works very well. And time entry WHILE IN THE OFFICE is good.
Cons
I would never recommend this product in its current state. Sage implemented Subscription pricing recently while making literally zero changes to the software model And reducing the ways we are able to get support. There's no longer a phone number you can call, oh no. You have to online chat with someone and if you are then deemed worthy, you can get a phone call. The fact the subscription became mandatory while we are still only able to run the software on our internal network is unacceptable. All the competition is running in the cloud...and they have apps to enter your time. Timeslips does not. They have this janky method of going to a webpage and entering into this "Timeslips lite" that is mediocre at best. Not only that but they also charge extra for any extra license...beyond 2. ALL these things were tolerable when we had a perpetual license. We would upgrade every 3 years ro so anyway. But making it a mandatory subscription while adding no cloud or app, and making support harder to get to?

Lately I have not had problems. The program goes nuts every so often. But we just close and reopen. I liked it better when we did have problems were able to talk to someone right then. Now we have to wait for a call that we do not know when it will occur and ofter it is missed.
Pros
I have used Timeslips since 1992 or 1993. So after 30 years I have it down.
Cons
Timeslips needs to advance into the Cloud. Timeslips is the ONLY thing we have on our server. EVERYTHING else is in the Cloud. You need to devote the time, energy and money to stay cutting edge or you will lose your customores.

We have had Timeslips for a long time. We recently went through a decision of continuing or discontinuing. After review of many others, we decided to stay with Timeslips due to the cost for each "user". We need to group together some of our clients (separate bills but they are grouped together).
Pros
We really like that we can have numerous people listed and don't have to pay for each one. Example, Paralegal work; attorney's initials; groups of certain billing under one name.
Cons
Sometimes you have to hunt for a way to do a report. It is unfortunate that the reports that they have listed do not help us much. We always have to customize. I also dislike that you cannot just purchase the program. You have to purchase a monthly program.

Billing and keeping track of payments is so easy with this program and I can easily go back to reprint bills if I need to. There are features I don't use, but I'm sure would be beneficial for others.
Pros
I didn't originally set it up, but I've been using it since June of 2011. I am so glad to have this program to do billing and timekeeping. It has saved me many hours.
Cons
I do wish the Nickname 1 field allowed more characters. I have to abbreviate things even though there is more space in the box.

I use [sensitive content hidden] as my consultant and she is a life saver. She is quick, knowledgeable and able to explain and fix just about everything. It's been a very bright spot in using Timeslips.
Pros
I like the client portal, the ease of time entry and elements of billing.
Cons
I would like a better A/R listing as we use client number AND name and only client number shows up on A/R meaning I have to match before working on A/R. Some of our clients have hundreds of subclients and while we can work with the numbers list, it would be good to have name attached on report.

My Use of Timeslips
Reviewed on 2023/04/27
Pros
Timeslips is very user friendly. I have used it for the majority of the 32 years that I have practiced law. It has the time and expense feature to allow tracking oy my time spent on my clients' cases and the expenses that they are required to pay. It has the ability of using different hourly rates for different clients. It also has the capability of drafting different amounts non-refunable retained and the use of Funds to apply refundable portions of retainers differently.
Cons
We have had to update our Timeslips software on occasion and in that process lost some information that we had to recreate; however, it was not information that I didn't have backed up. I cannot suggest any changes for my specific use of Timeslips.

Reviewed on 2023/05/02
Pros
In a CPA firm tracking time spent preparing and working on multiple jobs within one client by multiple professionals is beneficial to track costs and how to bill clients.
Cons
When our company began using TimeSlips the fee was a reasonable flat annual fee. When Timeslips started charging per user the fee is extremely high. Since we had been using the product for many years our database is large to convert to another timekeeping program. We are looking for a better cost effective program now.
