Good for tracking time accurately

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have only a few clients that I do hourly work for. I use the Toggl Track desktop app to help me track the actual time spent on those projects. What I like is that if I am inactive on my computer for a while it gives me a popup where I can choose to discard the time since I was last active or keep it. Reduces a lot of the guesswork and increases accuracy so I know I am charging fairly.

Pros

  • tracks time spent on projects accurately.
  • Allows me to download reports.
  • Lets me know when the clock is still running after inactivity.

Cons

  • When I forget to track a task, I wish it were easier to add the missing time manually. Not too difficult, but it could be easier.

Return on Investment

  • makes it easier to track time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Toggl Track not only to track my hourly rate clients but also how long I spend on each task so that I can price my services accordingly. I love their reporting feature and the fact that you can track/organize clients, projects, and specific tasks.

Pros

  • Desktop app.
  • Reporting.
  • Detailed tracking.

Cons

  • A way to pin the desktop app or float on top so you don't forget about it.
  • Option to track or not with the Pomodoro timer; sometimes, I like it for general focus.
  • I would LOVE for it to have more integrations, for example, with Square, where I invoice my clients.

Return on Investment

  • More accurately tracking my time means more accurate and increased revenue!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Toggl as a project manager to track where my time is being spent, as well as the time of my production team. While we are an in-house communication team, we have a variety of departments we serve; so Toggle helps us track time spent for each client and on different types of projects. Leadership occasionally asks for status reports on where our time is going, and the tool gives clear metrics as to how our time is spent.

  • Time tracking.
  • Project segmentation.
  • Client segmentation.
  • Robust reports and analytics.
  • Cross-team use and reporting.
  • Tracking of new and recurring projects.
  • Great integrations of other productivity apps.

Cons

  • Better display of recurring tasks.

Most Important Features

  • Detailed reports.
  • Project segmentation.
  • Client segmentation.
  • Robust tags.
  • Highly intuitive and user-friendly.

Return on Investment

  • Increased productivity by 30%. I get so much more done with Toggl.
  • Increased accountability. Team members can see where their time is going throughout the day.
  • Increased awareness of task distribution. We can see where our time is going more efficiently and make corresponding personnel or project management decisions.
