Pros
Real-Time Tracking: Users appreciate Everhour's real-time tracking feature, which has been praised by a majority of reviewers. This feature allows users to accurately measure the time spent on projects, providing transparency and accountability within teams.
Seamless Integration with Asana: The integration with Asana is highly valued by users, as it seamlessly functions within the task management tool. Many reviewers have mentioned this as a positive aspect of Everhour, allowing for well-organized projects with shareable gantt charts and the ability to track hours from within Asana.
Friendly and Clear Interface: The interface of Everhour is described as friendly and clear by many users. They find it easy to navigate and make corrections to times when needed. Additionally, the genius dashboard provides real-time traffic information of all team members, contributing to efficient project management.
As a remote-based company, we highly rely on task management tools such as Jira and Asana, and it's critical to control and gain knowledge on how we spend our time, and that's what is Everhour used for. Since we use two different tools, Jira for the tech team and Asana for the management team, we found in Everhour a very practical way to concentrate reporting regardless of the task management tools every member of the team uses.
Pros
Timesheets.
Integrate different task tools in one place.
Cons
The mobile app is very limited.
It's costing a little bit to be fixed to some models.

When you use 2 or more different management tools in your team and want to have one single point of time reporting, Everhour is a great choice.
We use Everhour to track our internal developer time across a dozen different projects/software solutions our team works on continuously. The integration to Pivotal Tracker is an essential feature that allows the team to do all their work, notes, code commits, and time tracking in a single place with the information updating immediately to Everhour. As a project manager, I can pull our performance reports from Everhour easily and quickly for reporting to our executive team and to our finance department by project and by developer. This solution has made tracking and reporting so simple since we implemented it about 2 1/2 years ago. The feature set has continued to expand and improve in the time we have used the solution. I save hours every month that used to be sunk into extracting data for reports and messaging it into the format I needed. With the report customization features I was able to create the information in the format I needed and what once took hours is a 15-minute process. I have more time to focus on managing the projects rather than managing the reports.
Pros
Time tracking by project and by resource
Reporting
Cons
Ability to schedule reports to be run and emailed to user(s)
Alerts to resources when time entry is missing and they are not scheduled off
Likelihood to Recommend
This is an excellent solution for time tracking of time spent against projects and their tasks. We use it for software development projects, IT projects, support time against existing solutions, and project management tracking. The integration with Pivotal Tracking makes it seamless to use with Everhour. It can be used for any kind of project tracking, not just technical projects.
Everhour is a great tool for our company. Everyone is happy with it. We've tried other tools like Toggl and Pivotal, but Everhour has been superiour so far. The integration with Asana helps create a seamless process when starting to work on a task and closing the task. Everhour reports offer enough flexibility. It is quite easy to re-use the report from before. This saves time.
Pros
Easy to enter time.
Monthly project reports.
Monthly personal reports.
Cons
Creating your first report. Template reports would be helpful. More examples.
Sometimes Asana stops showing the Start button. Bug?
Sometimes reports are slow to generate.
I would love to see Everhour grow and provide integration to GitLab.
Likelihood to Recommend
Everhour is great for our overall team time tracking. However, a few software developers preferred tracking their time "closer to the software" in apps like Pivotal. Although merging the time reports together then becomes a hassle. With all of the time entries in Everhour entered through Asana, things are much more organized and easy to find.
We use Everhour across our entire organization for time tracking. Not only do we use it for tracking client billable work, but we also use it for our internal projects and almost everything we do, so we can analyze how we spend our time and find ways to make everything more efficient. The integration with Basecamp is the most important feature for us.
Pros
Integration with Basecamp.
Easy to use browser plugins.
Reporting.
Cons
More options for reporting.
More options for different ways of totaling times displayed in Basecamp.
Having a phone/live chat support would be great.
Likelihood to Recommend
If you use Basecamp and track time for projects, to-do items, etc., then Everhour is an excellent solution. It is also good as standalone software, but to our company, the integration makes it a must-have. It is also well suited for having a dashboard to see what everyone is currently working on.
Our main use of Everhour is to track if people are working the hours they said they'd do. We don't like the 40 hr/wk method but instead to give people more freedom. Everhour encourages people to do the required amount; because without a set schedule, people tend to work less.
Pros
Very simple to track hours
Many great integrations
Many other neat features that we will probably use in the future
Cons
Can only track in Asana/Jira using a web plugin, as opposed to the apps
Can't track recurring schedules, only by manually adding time slots
Needs a simpler way for new people who aren't used to computers to figure out how much they've worked, like on the homepage for example
Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited for companies that want to give their employees more freedom in work hours; but, it might not be useful for companies that don't track time.
Everhour is a really extraordinary tool to manage your time. It is so flexible and you can organize it in so many ways. We use it to manage the expended and the estimated time on every project so we can get statistics of how we are doing our work, and help us to make better estimations, review the workflow of our team, and make corporate decisions.
We have an integration plugin of Everhour used with Trello. We use this as our project management tool. We have our backlog in which we have the Sprint estimations with the user stories, and from that we create tasks. The tasks enter in the workflow statuses (To do, Doing, Waiting and Done), and on them, we add the Everhour estimations and the expended time. In that way we can observe all of our progress from Everhour, which makes our life a little easier and our work more efficient.
Pros
Integration with project management tools, like Trello, that makes the project management easier to do because you have metrics and statistics grouped on just one site.
Metrics of expended time per user and per project makes decisions easier You can have all the data to support changes or decisions in the company, like rentability of certain type of products offered.
The Everhour team is always evolving, so they always ask how you feel about everything and if anything is not working as expected. You are always surprised with new improvements that you didn't think could be useful but that end up adding value to your business.
Cons
At the moment, I have always expected a mobile app, or at least a PWA so you can manage your time in case you forgot to do it, and not to have to enter it on the web site.
Could have a system of alerts in case a task is currently started but has a significant amount of time required, like more than 3 hours. In my case that just happens if I forgot to stop the timer.
The reports are great but have some things to improve, like if you have several projects on Scrum and you want a report for all the tasks done on a month.
Likelihood to Recommend
Everhour is useful in every environment where you need the measure of time for certain tasks. In most cases, this could be project management but it could also include trips or travels, conferences, congresses, or several other things that you need to take control of the time used. Its less appropriate if you are going to measure things in weeks or days, it's better to measure smaller pieces of time like minutes of hours, so you could have a more useful metrics to work with.

Everhour is used for our agency as a time tracking and traffic control system. With its help, we set up our workflow in Asana with more efficiency and understanding the project profitability no matter the billing type (fixed price or time and material). It also visualizes time tracking not only for the financial department but also via all team members because simple necessary track records are being provided in our Asana project which is very useful to understand our current financial position in realtime.
Pros
It has a genius dashboard with all real-time traffic information of all team members. It is a very useful tool as well to track efficiency for both in-house and remote team members
It has well-done integration with Asana (and other task-managers) which allows you to track time on tasks without switching between apps or tools which it truly awesome
It has a scheduling tool which allows you to plan long term traffic of all your team members by using Asana projects and tasks so there is no need to copy and paste the same story points between different systems
It has flexible reporting system which allows you to build very custom project time tracking report based on your needs (any field or table type can be customized and you wish)
Cons
Schedule filtering for Teams/Groups of people
Expenses tracking system - if it will allow to track all fixed INs and OUTs inside the project (and track invoices based not only on time tracking but generated manually) it can replace our financial tool or make it more automated
Likelihood to Recommend
It is suited for everyone who uses Asana/Trello/JIRA/Basecamp etc. For custom task managers, it might not be as suitable, but this is not our story.
We're using Everhour across our entire organization, for tracking both billable and non-billable time spent on tasks (through the Asana integration). The most often-used metrics are time spent on retainers (which is limited per month), and actual time spent on fixed-price projects, versus projected time/billed cost. Everhour's reporting functions have proven very useful in both internally reviewing those numbers, and sharing time spent/tasks completed with clients.
Pros
Clean, well-presented, detailed customizable reports that can be downloaded and shared with clients, creating high levels of client confidence in our working policies & time tracking
Readily editable entries in case you forget to run the clock (or stop it running)
Ability to estimate time for tasks and compare time spent to estimate
Cons
Clearer display of time tracking on reports--the numbers shown in the two right-hand columns aren't clear in what they mean
Ability to auto-send PDF reports to clients at specified intervals
Likelihood to Recommend
Very well-suited to managing time for a team with a variety of clients and projects to consider. Ideally you want at least one person responsible for tracking budgets, estimates, and reports so that you can get the most out of the tool (on our team, that's me, though I wish I had a bit more time to spend on it). If your company does large scale estimates for fixed-price projects and you want to track actual time spent against estimates (and thus, profitability/accuracy of your proposals), it's invaluable. Same goes for if you have retainers--simplicity of tracking hours against specific retainer tasks in Asana is perfect.
It is used across the organization to handle different projects. All of the talent is reporting their time there. With Everhour we can track developers time and present invoices to clients based totally on the hours worked by our employees. There is no extra need for CSV files, it's very organized for us.
Pros
Self explanatory UI. There is no need to big introductions to the software to understand how to track time.
The reporting tool is very useful and work correctly for many different types of report.
Cons
I will like a better connection with JIRA since It's the tool where our employees receive their tickets.
Actually there is no more to say here. Everhour works perfectly for our needs.
Likelihood to Recommend
Everhour works perfectly when you need to have all your team self organized on time basics, and you want to have a real control about how people spend their time at work. I see it as very useful on reporting, because I want to show to my clients how their money is spent.
