Microsoft Planner is a user-friendly visual tool for organizing tasks and workflows. It’s great for team collaboration, integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 tools like Teams and Outlook, and offers flexibility for projects of all sizes. Additionally, it provides mobile and web access for seamless productivity on the go. That’s a big plus right there.
TimeCamp is a software designed for mobile devices that allows us to keep track of the working hours of employees without the use of a computer. It also allows us to send notifications to employees when their workday is approaching.
TimeCamp allows you to add taxes, calculate payroll and invoice everything in one place.
TimeCamp is useful to create the payment plan of each employee; automatically calculates the discounts for the taxes that must be paid, facilitating the task of processing payroll payments.
TimeCamp makes it easy to calculate ROI by evaluating and comparing hourly labor costs to revenue.
TimeCamp makes it easy to review the workday while budgeting for new initiatives and paying employees.
TimeCamp is a little bit expensive. It needs overall improvement in all tools. Moreover, the mobile version is not as useful as the web version of TimeCamp.
Other than that, customer service needs more attention and requires more improvement.
Also, I feel like that if there are more features of TimeCamp then it would be better.
It is a very useful tool that brings teams in sync with one another. The integration with other Microsoft products makes it an obvious choice because you don't have to purchase a license for a completely different tool that doesn't have cross-functional capabilities with the software you already use on a daily basis.
The tool is easy to use, but it is just as easy to set up. No specific skills are required, but its usefulness in our work is immediately apparent. Colors are very helpful in creating a clear interface and providing a very precise overview of the tasks to be performed.
I am giving support a rating of 8 but that is quite arbitrary. Honestly, we have never had the need to contact support for any reason. There has not been a situation where we became stuck and could not figure out how to work through it. Sign up was easy and billing is like clockwork so there has been no need to contact billing support. I think this is a testament to the ease of use of TimeCamp.
Our organization chose MS Planner because it is an included tool in the MS Suite, and since we are unfortunately replacing our current and much better project management tool due to a consolidation of the tech stack. However, it doesn't appear that any of the teams using the current program intend to use MS Planner due to its poor functionality. We will likely be pivoting to Jira instead.
Ultimately I selected Clockify instead of TimeCamp. As previously mentioned, I believe that TimeCamp wasn't that intuitive, and too many things were behind pay walls. Clockify offered the same features mostly for free. Although TimeCamps UX was sleeker than Clockify's I found that Clockify was a better fit for me.
Saved over $1000 each year by not having to purchase a third party tool for our content planning
Not sure that I can provide a hard number to this, but having the oversight to see when something is coming due and making sure everything gets executed in time
The most positive impact it has had is that we are able to accurately track our clients billed time. This has streamlined our process giving us a more efficient system.
One thing that timecamp can do is track computer time that is non billed time. This allow us to see where time is being wasted which does have a direct effect on out ROI.
