## HourStack Reviews
  ### 1. Time Management Allocation

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Insurance | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2020

**What do you like best about HourStack?**

The ease to drag and drop calendar invites onto the calendar is great.  The ability to tag a project or label is great for allocation of hours.  The integration with Zapier is convenient to feed our projects from Samanage/SolarWinds into HourStack so we don't have to create our projects, we just have to tag them.

**What do you dislike about HourStack?**

I wish there was more ability to add more categories.  It would be nice to allocate hours per department easier so it is a defined custom field that we could report on.  It would like to see dashboards so we can easily see team member performance instead of exporting data and creating our own charts.

**Recommendations to others considering HourStack:**

Plan out how you want the system to function and what reports you will need out of it.  We didn't plan this out that well in the beginning and had to redo our workspace a year later.

**What problems is HourStack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are able to track our team members performance and project performance.  We have generated reports to display where IT's time is being spent so the company knows they are investing in the right projects.  It helps us determine if we have an issue with tickets vs. new features as well.

  ### 2. GREAT REPORT ALTHOUGH APP COULD USE TUNING

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Taymeka W. | Taymeka, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 08, 2019

**What do you like best about HourStack?**

ITS EASY TO USE, REPORTS ARE ALWAYS EASY TO GENERATE WHEN NEEDED.

**What do you dislike about HourStack?**

THE MOBILE APP HARDLY WORKS WELL. THE MOBILE APP ISN'T ALWAYS RELIABLE TO USE HALF THE TIME. 

**Recommendations to others considering HourStack:**

WEIGH YOUR PROS AND CONS BEFORE DECIDING

**What problems is HourStack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

TRACKING OUR SCHEDULE WORK TIME 

  ### 3. Good reporting, Mobile App could be better

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Automotive | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2019

**What do you like best about HourStack?**

easy to use,  reports are easy to generate, it's actually easier to use the in-app reports rather than exporting to excel and doing reports there, which is not normally the case for products like this. 

**What do you dislike about HourStack?**

The mobile app is clunky and doesn't work well. If I start the timer on my phone sometimes it will just stop, sometimes it will miscommunicate with the website. The mobile app isn't reliable enough to depend on, so I stopped using it. 

**What problems is HourStack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are tracking our time so we can argue for more staff to our leadership team. By seeing where we are spending out time we can be more strategic about who we give our resources to. 

  ### 4. Great easy to use tracking with excellent integrations

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2019

**What do you like best about HourStack?**

Integrations to not have to repeat work.

**What do you dislike about HourStack?**

once or twice the integration to asana went down rending the time tracking unusable the way we do it. 

**What problems is HourStack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Time tracking for remote team members and project based costing. 

  ### 5. Helpful time management tool that is great for remote teams!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 12, 2018

**What do you like best about HourStack?**

Although I’m a marketer, my schedule is extremely flexible and I keep odd hours. This helps me plan out my time accordingly!

**What do you dislike about HourStack?**

The Asana tasks can be hard to manage via HourStack because the task name gets pulled in, but not the project so it’s hard visually.

**What problems is HourStack solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Planning my time weekly and accounting for projects that arrive unexpectedly. It also helps us track time for billing!
