Minute7 Erfahrungen

I think the simplicity of the software and the visual display of diverse information (billing, timesheets, etc.) are clear, concise and streamlined for both the user and the administrative team.

I think the biggest issue would be that the input for the data (billable time, expenses, etc.) is streamlined for daily and smaller inputs, in which it becomes cumbersome and clunky when putting in large amounts of data at one time.

Very easy to use. Synchronizes very well with QuickBooks Online. Also, it didn't require that I get set up as an employee to perform my time entry (whereas most every other time-entry system did). As I am the owner, and not an employee, it was very important that I be able to have a system that allows me to enter my time without the need to file employee tax forms with the IRS through the software.

Nothing, it's been great so far! Keep up the good work!

I didn't pay for it and am happy about that.

Often counterintuitive because of all the switches.

We first chose Minute7 based on our need for integrating with Quickbooks desktop. Prior to M7 we were using the QB Timer File program that was difficult to keep current and distribute to individual users. The M7 sync with QB lets us set up new customers, projects and service items very quickly and have it instantly available to our employees for charging time and for transferring time back to QB at the end of the week. We also like the options for having a running timer, direct entry of hours or setting start/finish times. The large data field for time entry notes is also very useful.

We miss the previous more columnar interface that was a bit easier to use when reviewing and approving time entries. The current interface is great for the individual employee but not quite as useful for the time reviewer.

It is easy to use from the standpoint of the attorneys and the administrator. It is easy to set up a new attorney and easy for them to use. Being able to submit time from their mobile phones is a bonus. We don't lose out on travel time and time working with a client in another location.

Every once in a while I will get duplicates when I pull through to billing. I need to watch the invoices to be sure an item doesn't show up more than one month in a row. It's a random problem for which I haven't gotten a solution. Support has been extremely responsive, even on nights and weekends, on the few occasions when I have run into other problems. They've even helped me with instructions for the attorneys so that one-off errors are not repeated.

The software application allows for quick daily or weekly entries related to specific projects. Love the reports feature and options.

The application was easy to integrate into our platform. I would like for the date to automatically fall under the current day when entering time.

The integration with QuickBooks Desktop is perfect for our needs. This was the most critical feature we were looking for, followed by cost.

There is no way to set project budgets for fixed fee projects. For example, we bill hourly in most cases, however we also often work n fixed fee projects. There is no way to set up a project (or subproject) with a budget that allows the user to see how much time (or money) has been put into the project already. If they had this transparency of not only their time, but the time that others billed to a job, it would help avoid cost overruns and allow for more seamless change orders to clients before the budget is blown.

This software was able to mirror almost exactly what we were doing manually, so virtually no training or up time required. Additionally, it added electronic expense submission, Quick Books integration, and on-demand reporting, significant time savers for every user function.

Initially, assigning the classes was a little confusing because of them having to be in QB before we could see them... so from our perspective, backwards in how we work typically. But after we got used to that, all good.

Lastly, it would be nice as the administrator, if I had an admin section and a user section like everyone else so when keeping my own time and expenses I could only see the stuff specifically applicable to my day-to-day work. But, we're small so not a big deal.

It includes tools to track both expenses and time entries.
Integrates with Minute7.

It did not work well after the last update, which caused a lot of errors in reporting and invoicing.

Tracking time per client so that management can properly bill

When a client is synced you can't edit so therefore you have to add additional lines for the same client

Minute7 is easy to use, relatively intuitive to learn the basics, and unobtrusive.

The user interface leaves some things to be desired. It would be nice if the timer and time entry defaulted to the last client that I was billing for, instead of making me select it from the drop down menu each time. Ditto for the drop down that I use to select time increments -- if I bill in six minute increments for one client, you can assume I do it for all my clients, so why do I have to keep setting it from a drop down menu? Searching for and reviewing old time entries is more cumbersome than it should be.

I love how easy this product is to use. We really do enjoy using it.

When I sync the timesheets to quickbooks, the entries for the same date are not in the order they were entered into the minute 7 program. For example, court appearance for hearing will be typed in after prepare for court appearance, but the prepare for will show up after. This happens all the time. Often times, I have to put them in order on the actual invoice because they did not sync in order. This is so frustrating but because we like the product, we stick with it. I hope this can be updated to sync in the order they were entered. Thanks.

Integration with Quickbooks has been flawless. Use had two other systems before Minute7 and they started to crash because of the size of our QB files. Minute7 has not had that problem and any issues we did encounter, the customer service resolved the issues within 24 hours.

Minute7 accomplishes all that we need. The reports are a bit simple, but is good enough.

I enjoy how easy it is to enter time and the ease of the interface. It is very user friendly and easy to understand which is very helpful after a long day of working in other robust software programs. I also enjoy the timer function which makes the guess work and/or counting of how many hours I work that day not needed.

Minute7 allows you to easily pull reports on all projects or one account. It has been a lifesaver for tracking hours and ensuring I'm billing the right amount.

It's not the greatest user experience, from a design and feature perspective. It is a fine, workhorse system but since I use it a lot throughout the day to immediately log my time, it would be better to have a more visually appealing and user-friendly set up. It would be nine to have some desktop interface that you could pull up or keep up for noting project time.

It is saving my team time by automatically exporting the keyed entries into Quickbooks.

The software has a nagging bug in that it doesn't flag time entries when it exports into QB On-line as taxable items. When I go into QB, I have to go through every entry and apply the taxable flag. This is time consuming. We were told a fix was coming, over a year ago. They also doubled the price of the software which seemed like a lot all at once, once we were committed to using the software. However, we are still using it and paying the higher price.

Minute7 is easy to deploy, configure and manage. It allows many configurations such that we can effectively manage our employee and consultant base.

There is really very little that I dislike, it is a well made application.

The syncing functionality with QuickBooks is great. I use it with QuickBooks on the desktop and it flawlessly syncs time records to QuickBooks while also syncing the clients and items list from QuickBooks to the web app.

The app used to set up and sync to QuickBooks wasn't as user friendly as it could have been. Also tried the mobile app and stopped using it as it wasn't working well. The web app does everything I need so I only deducted one star for the mobile app.

It is very user friendly. Everyone in the office is able to input their time efficiently.

Sometimes there are updates and it messes things up. Sometimes our job numbers don't show up correctly.

Min7 provides easy access for all employees with app or online options.

The reports are not customizable except for period; however, the information can be manipulated in Excel.

I do not use the full functionality of linking with QBO, because it doesn't appear to work with their payroll product. In addition, we reimburse expenses through payroll, so this doesn't work for us.

I didn't like the updates a year or two ago, but then they grew on me. I like the week entry mode.

The duplication feature. I wish it would duplicate text/etc. without duplicating the time because sometimes 0 hour timestamps get through if I don't delete them properly.

Both the website and app are simple for the employees to use. Easy to set up jobs. Decent character length for job names.

The top part of the screen does not freeze. It is hard to edit since it is hard to follow down to different days since the screen continues to move. When selecting jobs to write a report, why can I not select a group of jobs instead of one by one.

Minute7 does what I need it to do. It records my client spent time on my cell phone and does it well and quickly. Worth the money but it was an even better deal 6 months ago.

This no fault of Minute7, but it DOES NOT integrate with QuickBooks Online Basic. QB Online forces you to get the more expensive version of their product for Minute7 to integrate to it. This negates any cost savings because Intuit eats it up.
Every time I go to add a Time Entry after a few days of no use, I have to go to Settings, Logout, then log back in before my Customer list show up. Settings, Refresh Now does not take care of this issue as it implies to me.

It can sync with our QuickBooks program.

We have it set up to be very detailed and split out Labor, travel among other things- so it can be confusing to train a new employee. We may revamp it our our end to have it be a little more user friendly

I found this product easy to use, and gives a lot of flexibility in use. The format is easy to follow as well. It allows the user the ability to review past inputs and to have different accounts for the user.

When inputting a different day one has to double check to make sure input applies to right day. This is a very slight problem.
