Fabulous app for tracking time for legal services
Fabulous app for tracking time for legal services... we don't end up missing out on income due to lack of detail in timesheets. It's simple to use, easy to learn, and quick and painless to implement in our office. Everyone got on board quickly! The management loves the detailed notes about time spent.
Jibble Rocks!
Jibble Rocks! So far, I've tried multiple platforms but I've stuck with Jibble as it is easy to use. Also, it sends me daily, weekly updates on the team's timesheet.
Great tool for remote employees
Great tool for remote employees. I love the automated reports that show who on my team is logged in, the reminders when you have been logged in for a certain number of hours each day, and the weekly team recap. After trying several others, Jibble turned out to be the ideal fit for our needs. My team is in Slack all day and it makes it very easy to clock in and out each day by going to the Jibble Channel in Slack. It's super convenient.
Simply no other competitor that is close
Easy and awesome customer support. Fantastic, and a big problem solver for my small team. This is the type of company that will be successful. We've used Jibble since we were on Slack and then moved to MS Teams. The ease of use makes it an amazing tool.. and there is simply no other competitor that is close!
Super efficient and easy to use time billing software
The easier way to log in hours for different clients and track improvement of workflows. Jibble allows you to create a team and create clients, which for our business, being able to log in hours for each specific client is crucial and a huge help for time billing, estimating workflow success and improving and optimizing workflow strategies. Being able to know how many hours we've spent in a certain project is essential for our improvement as a tech team. We use Slack a lot and I love that you can log in and out from slack directly, you don't even need to open Jibble. Super efficient and easy to use.
Frankly, no other software got even close
Wonderful time management software. This has been a lovely experience right from the start. Simple-to-understand set-up, lots of personal support on hand, a useful 'onboarding' session to explore features and help me with exports. We needed a system for tracking consultants' time in contracts broken down by tasks. Jibble is the solution and frankly, no other software that I looked at got even close in terms of ease of use and price.
Exceeded my expectations
Honestly, I wasn't super excited about my company having this type of software to keep track of time. Oh, how my opinion has changed. Jibble is one of the best time tracking software I have ever seen... it has exceeded my expectations.
Functional and practical
Jibble makes it very easy to track your time spent on different projects. There is also an app that can be used on your phone if you are on the move. It is extremely easy to add projects and activities.
