Minute7 Reviews

Pros

Best features: uploading receipts and having them link to QBO
Easy to use and teach others as users as well as approvers of time and expenses

Cons

Lack of connectivity to more than one application. When updates/upgrades are done, they often change the data so that any connections via CSV or Excel import/export are changed, accents missing from letters, extra space, order of fields exported.....
Customization, when a customer/job is chosen then only the correct service type should appear and class.

Pros

Minute7 has an ease of use for users, unlike other products I've tested. Just plug in the client, the rate, and the description of work and you're good to go. The ability to run reports per user or per client is easy and saves time when billing clients.

Cons

Integration with existing business products was seamless, especially considering they are a partner of Quickbooks. Sometimes the date ranges on time entry are off, but a simple refresh of the browser window typically takes care of this, especially after being logged in for long periods of time.

Pros

Ease of use and peace of mind. The interface and overall design is excellent.

Cons

Synching with Quickbooks. I still have to think about jhow to do that. Its easy to do ,but also awkward

Pros

We first chose Minute7 based on our need for integrating with Quickbooks desktop. Prior to M7 we were using the QB Timer File program that was difficult to keep current and distribute to individual users. The M7 sync with QB lets us set up new customers, projects and service items very quickly and have it instantly available to our employees for charging time and for transferring time back to QB at the end of the week. We also like the options for having a running timer, direct entry of hours or setting start/finish times. The large data field for time entry notes is also very useful.

Cons

We miss the previous more columnar interface that was a bit easier to use when reviewing and approving time entries. The current interface is great for the individual employee but not quite as useful for the time reviewer.

Pros

Syncs well with QuickBooks desktop and QuickBooks online. Prompt customer support. Very easy to use.

Cons

Would like more notifications, e.g. email notification if timer is kept running for a set amount of time based on customer's preference.

Pros

Ability to edit entries, time etc. Mostly it is an easy to use program.

Cons

Not very compatible with Quick books. When the information is synced into quick books, you have to manually go into quick books to change any edited entries after the information has already been synced to the quick books program. You should just be able to re sync from quick books and it will move over the edited or changes made in Minute7.

Pros

User friendly and fairly intuitive, affordable

Cons

Having to change my entries from ready to sync to pending every time. I prefer my entries to be pending until I do a final review for approval.

Pros

Minute7 allows you to easily pull reports on all projects or one account. It has been a lifesaver for tracking hours and ensuring I'm billing the right amount.

Cons

It's not the greatest user experience, from a design and feature perspective. It is a fine, workhorse system but since I use it a lot throughout the day to immediately log my time, it would be better to have a more visually appealing and user-friendly set up. It would be nine to have some desktop interface that you could pull up or keep up for noting project time.

Pros

Min7 provides easy access for all employees with app or online options.

Cons

The reports are not customizable except for period; however, the information can be manipulated in Excel.

I do not use the full functionality of linking with QBO, because it doesn't appear to work with their payroll product. In addition, we reimburse expenses through payroll, so this doesn't work for us.

Pros

Both the website and app are simple for the employees to use. Easy to set up jobs. Decent character length for job names.

Cons

The top part of the screen does not freeze. It is hard to edit since it is hard to follow down to different days since the screen continues to move. When selecting jobs to write a report, why can I not select a group of jobs instead of one by one.

Pros

Easy to use for ALL users, quick to set up, easy sync to all Intuit products

Cons

I can't think of anything I would add or change

Pros

Installs easily and mostly synchs well with Quickbooks. The timer and time keeping functions are generally great.

Cons

It worked great for two months, then stopped synching my billing rates from the Quickbooks client profiles. It keeps the time but is now unable to transfer the rate. There is a workaround but it is a clunky fix. Despite several contacts with customer service they are unable to fix it and appear to have given up.

Pros

I found this product easy to use, and gives a lot of flexibility in use. The format is easy to follow as well. It allows the user the ability to review past inputs and to have different accounts for the user.

Cons

When inputting a different day one has to double check to make sure input applies to right day. This is a very slight problem.

Pros

1. Actually easy to use. Like the reports too.

Cons

Not that I can think of. I think providing totaling columns would help!

Pros

Monitoring Junior staff hours spent on different projects is one of the best features.

Cons

Sometimes viewing the hours over a week vs. the whole month gets confusing.

Pros

easy to use, cost effective, interfaces with Quickbooks Online easily. Great at tracking time for time and billing invoicing purposes

Cons

Difficult to use "time" tracking to transfer payroll entries to Quickbooks Online.

Pros

I like that the date remains for different entries until you change it. It would be a pain to have to keep entering the same date. I also like that you can delete and entry on a date if it is incorrect. I also like the description box to indicate what the minutes were for.

Cons

I do not find any aspect of this product difficult to use with the new interface.

Pros

Custom and job detail descriptions and service options
Use of edits before being synced

Cons

The need to sync all time instead of individually by job or detail.

Pros

Tool to keep track of the amount of time spent on projects is useful

Cons

Search tool could be made to find more specific and help narrow search.

Pros

Ease of use and integration with Quickbooks

Cons

Some glitches occasionally, but support seems to sort these out quickly

Pros

easy to instruct new users ; clear details for inputting time & detail

Cons

Report function sometimes lags and needs to be extended

Pros

Accuracy and easy to use with Quickbooks

Cons

I wish there was an iphone app so I could enter my hours on my phone.

Pros

We recently won a federal grant which requires us to track time and expenses per task. Minute7 makes it very easy to accomplish this and the interface is easy to understand and use.

Cons

I wish there was a desktop app, or if there is one that it is easier to find.

Pros

The program allows for a lot of space for details and information without the clutter and is perfect for filing invoices.

Cons

Sometimes it doesn't remember which project I'm working on. So I have to click the set up for every single submission.

Pros

This is a seamless process with our Quickbooks and invoicing.

Cons

I wish there was a way to use the expense feature for employees
