"Great Integration, But Performance Issues with Large Deployments"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Tempo?

I use Tempo for handling our portfolios and scheduling dynamic timelines by adapting the scope of priorities and resources for improved project accuracy. I like its integration with Jira, which provides spreadsheet views for engaging data across multiple projects with clear visualization. I appreciate that it helps me manage workload and offers data insights to automate and optimize tracking for financial terms of projects. The integration with other apps, along with frequent updates and scenario updates, is quite effective. The initial setup was easy because of its simple UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tempo?

During large deployments, the report structure becomes complex and slows down the app's performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Time Tracking with Clean Dashboard, Clear Reports, and Tool Sync"
4/5
What do you like best about Tempo?

I like the tracking feature the most because it makes logging time quick and easy. The dashboard is clean, letting me see all my work in one place. The reports are clear and give a good overview of hours. It syncs with other tools, which helps a lot. Overall, it's simple and useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tempo?

Sometimes it's slow, especially when generating reports they take a long time. The UI is a bit confusing at first, and editing isn't very easy. The mobile version is also not good. Overall it works okay but could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Tempo Centralizes Jira Time Tracking and Resource Planning with Strong Integrations"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Tempo?

What I like best about Tempo is how much it centralizes project and time management without feeling overly fragmented. The UI is intuitive enough that teams can adopt it quickly, especially for users already working inside Jira. The overall UX is clean and structured, making it easy to track worklogs, planning, capacity, and team availability in one place.

One of the most helpful aspects of Tempo is its integrations. The connection with Jira is particularly strong and feels native rather than “bolted on.” This makes it much easier to manage timesheets, resource planning, and reporting directly within existing workflows. It reduces context switching and improves visibility across projects and teams.

Performance has generally been reliable, even when working with larger boards or multiple projects. Reporting and filtering features are useful for both operational tracking and management-level visibility. The analytics and automation capabilities also help reduce manual effort.

From a pricing and ROI perspective, Tempo provides solid value for organizations that need structured time tracking, planning, and resource management. The visibility into team utilization and project effort can help improve forecasting and operational efficiency, which justifies the investment for many teams.

Support and onboarding are also strong points. Documentation is clear, setup is relatively straightforward, and the platform is flexible enough to adapt to different team structures and processes. Updates and new features are introduced regularly, which shows active product development.

Another upside is the growing AI/intelligence component. Features that improve reporting insights, workload visibility, and smarter planning recommendations help teams make faster decisions and reduce administrative overhead. The platform feels increasingly proactive rather than just reactive project tracking software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tempo?

One downside of Tempo is that some advanced configuration and reporting features can feel complex, especially for new users or smaller teams that only need lightweight tracking. While the UI is generally clean, certain administrative workflows require navigating through multiple settings pages, which can slow down onboarding and setup.

"Excellent Jira integration and reporting, but configuration can be complex"
4/5
What do you like best about Tempo?

What I liked most about Tempo Timesheets is how seamlessly it integrates with Jira. In practice, logging time becomes part of the daily workflow rather than an additional administrative task. I also found the reporting very useful to understand where time is being spent across projects and to improve resource allocation. For teams managing multiple workstreams, having this visibility is a real advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tempo?

Some reporting and configuration options can feel more complex than they need to be. New users may need time to understand the different settings, and costs can increase significantly as the number of users grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Customizable and Insightful, But Needs Performance Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Tempo?

I like Tempo's fully customizable design, which provides modular value and helps in understanding data insights quickly. I enjoy its adjustable dashboard with custom charts, which converts portfolio data into useful insights. It is very valuable for us because it converts raw Jira data into actionable insights for our team. Also, the initial setup isn't as complex as it seems, and technical users can easily get a grip on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tempo?

While handling large data, its performance is slow and lags during the process; this problem seems to need solving for perfect use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Detailed Time Tracking and Collaboration, But Setup Can Be Confusing"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Tempo?

I like its time-tracking feature, which provides complete details about logged hours and the exact time we connect, along with priorities. All our projects are laid out in a clear interface where we can collaborate on them and tailor our work to our business goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tempo?

The interface I don't like because it is very confusing to setup and sometimes when we switch between multiple pages it stuck and we cant go to exact page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple Dashboard: Full Infrastructure Visibility & Efficient Team Resource Allocation"
4/5
What do you like best about Tempo?

I like its dashboard most because it is very simple and provides an overview of our project's entire infrastructure. Another thing I appreciate is its resource allocation, which lets me monitor the whole team — who is working on which task and their working hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tempo?

In my personal experience, the navigation system is a bit difficult to operate, and the reporting system does not provide complete data reports, which makes it harder to do my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Jira time tracking with room to improve"
4/5
What do you like best about Tempo?

What I like most about Tempo Timesheets is how seamlessly it integrates with Jira, so time tracking feels like a natural part of the work instead of a separate chore. Being able to log time directly against the issues I’m already working on reduces context switching and keeps everything aligned with real project progress.

The weekly timesheet view is especially helpful. It provides a clear, structured snapshot of logged hours across days and tasks, which makes it much faster to review entries and fix mistakes. From a manager’s perspective, the approval workflow is straightforward and supports accountability without creating unnecessary overhead.

On the reporting side, Tempo offers solid visibility into team capacity and how time is allocated across projects. I regularly use the filters and reports to break down time by project or by user, which helps with resource planning and spotting bottlenecks. This has improved transparency across the team and made it easier to explain timelines and effort to stakeholders.

In terms of UI/UX, it isn’t perfect, but the interface is consistent and becomes efficient once you get used to it. Performance has also been dependable; even with larger datasets, reports generally load at a reasonable speed.

One unexpected benefit is how useful the data has been for forecasting and billing. Having structured, accurate time logs has made internal reporting and client billing much clearer and more transparent.

Overall, Tempo delivers the most value in environments that already rely on Jira, where its integration, reporting capabilities, and approval workflows noticeably strengthen time-tracking discipline and operational visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tempo?

While Tempo Timesheets is powerful, there are a few areas where it could be improved.

From a UI/UX perspective, the interface can feel unintuitive, especially for new users. Certain actions—like editing past entries, navigating between teams, or locating specific reports—require multiple clicks and aren’t always where you expect them to be. This increases the learning curve and can slow down both individual contributors and managers during reviews.

Reporting, while flexible, can also be somewhat complex to configure. Creating customized reports or filters often takes trial and error, and it’s not always clear how to get the exact data view you need. Simplifying report building or providing more guided templates would make this much more efficient.

In terms of integrations, although the Jira integration is strong, connections with external tools (like calendars or other work management platforms) can feel limited or inconsistent. For example, syncing data doesn’t always translate cleanly into actionable timesheet entries without manual adjustments.

Performance is generally stable, but there are occasional slowdowns when loading larger datasets or generating detailed reports, which can interrupt workflow—especially during peak review times.

From a pricing/ROI standpoint, Tempo can become relatively expensive as team size grows, particularly for smaller teams or organizations that may not use its full feature set. A more flexible pricing model or feature-based tiers could make it more accessible.

Support and onboarding are decent, but the initial setup—especially around permissions, teams, and workflows—can be complex. Clearer onboarding guidance or more interactive setup assistance would help teams get up to speed faster.

Regarding AI/intelligence, while features like auto-suggestions based on calendar data are helpful, they still feel somewhat basic. There’s an opportunity to expand this further—for example, smarter recommendations based on historical work patterns, anomaly detection in time logs, or more proactive insights to help managers during reviews.

Overall, Tempo Timesheets is a robust tool, but improving usability, simplifying reporting, and enhancing intelligent automation would significantly elevate the user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
