About Tempo Timesheets

Tempo Timesheets is a time tracking software in Jira which enables teams to track time online, and collect reliable data for reporting, invoicing, accounting, and more. With the Tempo Cloud mobile app, users have the flexibility to track time on-the-go via iOS and Android smartphone devices.

Tempo Timesheets allows users to log time quickly by dragging and dropping issues into the ‘My Work’ calendar. Users can also set up time trackers to track time automatically while they work in Jira. This time is then converted into a worklog.

With Tempo Timesheets, users can generate granular reports and drill down into their data to get valuable insight into logged issues, projects, teams, users, accounts, and more. Users can save their reports or export them in multiple formats like XLS, CSV, or PDF.

Tempo Timesheets allows managers to review and approve team timesheets individually, or in bulk. The platform also maintains accurate approval logs for business transparency and traceability.

Integrate Tempo Timesheets with Google & Microsoft Calendar and see all your appointments in one place and log meeting time. Also integrates with Tempo Planner & Cost Tracker for resource planning and cost tracking. Users can integrate with their other tools using the Tempo API.

Good Option for Existing Atlassian Users

Reviewed on 2021-06-29

While Tempo does provide distinct reporting benefits and ease of use to existing Atlassian (JIRA)...

While Tempo does provide distinct reporting benefits and ease of use to existing Atlassian (JIRA) customers, improvements could certainly be made to its permissions schemes and pricing model. If you are familiar with JIRA and have the knowledge and patience to properly configure the application, Tempo can be a very useful tool for data reporting and invoicing. If you are looking for a simpler, cheaper means to track time, however, I would recommend exploring alternative options.

Pros

Tempo Timesheets is an effective way to log and manage time entries for existing Atlassian users. The application integrates seamlessly with the JIRA project management platform, allowing users to log time through individual tasks and tickets, which then passes through to Tempo's custom reporting and approval dashboard. The inherent time entry approval process built into Tempo ensures data integrity, as only admin-level users are allowed to approve, reject, and edit submitted entries. The reporting functionality allows users to create custom time reports based on user, project, account, and several other category designations, which is great for organizing and assessing your time data.

Cons

Like most Atlassian products, the permissions scheme in Tempo is both complex and delicate. Familiarity with JIRA user AND project permissions is essential to proper use of the application, as misconfiguration can lead to corrupt or inaccurate data reporting. Tempo also lacks direct integration with popular accounting and CRM software such as QuickBooks, which makes service invoicing a more manual process. There is also no current means to distinguish JIRA users who need access to Tempo from JIRA users who do not, which means you will be charged a monthly service fee for each JIRA user, regardless or whether or not they actively use the application. This results in a higher monthly service fees, which can make Tempo less affordable to some users.

Easy and effective time tracking

Great timesheeting tool with excellent integration with Jira and superb reporting

Pros

Tempo Timesheets is easy to install, configure and use. The Chrome plug-in is helpful to start and stop the timer and the reporting is excellent. It’s deep integration with Jira makes it unparalleled as a time tracking tool for Jira

Cons

The roadmap of new features is a bit slower than I’d like.

Close, but no cigar.

Reviewed on 2019-10-18

Its mostly fine, but if there was something that fit my needs better, I would switch.

Pros

Generally, it is fairly easy for my team to log their time, and it is good that they can log it on EPICs rather than specific issues.

Cons

It's really clunky to administer the team and projects. There's no way to automatically add new projects to the team, and add new team members by default. Most importantly, the billing model is really frustrating. We do client work, and clients have access to our Jira -- But, clients will never ever log time. I don't believe that I should have to pay for those users as Tempo users. There should be an actual per-seat billing model, where I only pay for users who use tempo.

Overall very good. Support has provided quick turnaround on any questions. Bug fixes and improvements continue at a good pace, and the improvements are quality ones.

Pros

For issue-oriented end-users (e.g. developers), it's a great tool.
* Easy to use
* Seamlessly integration with Jira
* Easy administration

Cons

For account oriented end-users, there's an impedance mismatch. These users just want to log time against an account. Logging time against an issue and then assigning it to an account never feels right to them, and it's their biggest complaint. Tempo's solution is Internal Issues, but that doesn't resolve this usability issue for these users.

Does not support labor categories well - especially when a user performs different roles with different labor categories in a project. It can be partially worked around with work attributes.

Reporting works great for what's built-in but still needs improvement. E.g. reports of hours by combinations of project, account, user, role, work-attributes are needed. Dumping into Excel is the workaround here.

We switched to Jira/Tempo several years ago (from FogBugz) because we needed a development tracking tool with a good time tracking system. We picked Jira Software Cloud first and then selected Tempo Timesheets for time tracking. No regrets with Tempo. Jira has been (and still is) an adventure at times, but Tempo Timesheets has been a solid performer from the start. And it has received significant improvements over time. It's a great choice for my company.
