Replicon

"Useful and Completely Functional Timesheet System"

Commentaires: The overall experience with Replicon is refreshing and positive. I rely on it extensively.

Avantages: I use Replicon to keep track of all time spent by most members of the company. It is a great system, easy to learn and it has helped improve most project's perceptibility. Replicon's interface is clean and friendly and ease of scheduling takes less time which is a better choice compared to manual timesheets we used to pass around everyday. The app is exactly what it needs to be as it provides a great deal of flexibility that allows easy matching of time spent on projects against budgeted hours.

Inconvénients: Replicon does not have a good deployment for mobile devices, its access is slow and has limitations in terms of reporting. Neither does it allow configuration of different scenario analysis nor allows manipulation over time. Its interface is too simple and I think there's more room for more functions so that we can integrate more work into the system, to improve reporting options for that is more versatile and manageable.

"Datastrong's Review"

Avantages: I like how easy this product is to use by someone who isn't as "technical" as most. I love that there is always someone from customer service around to help me out.

Inconvénients: It's more expensive that other tools we looked at, which is why we only utilize for timesheets, time off and expenses.

"Support Staff"

Avantages: I believe what I like most about Replicon is the Support Staff. They are nice and have always helped me when I had an issue. TEAM started with Replicon in 2013 and have had wonderful Customer Service. I would recommend Replicon to any company that needed a time tracking system.

Inconvénients: The only area of the software that I have had an issue is with the 'Reporting'.

"Good tool, if you aren't a power user"

Commentaires: The people are great, but you need project managers who actually manage projects properly to help in the development of the tool that is primarily a tool to manage projects. Sure its a time card entry system, but for what? Managing projects and the hours against them.

Avantages: Gen 2 was good. Gen 3....challenging. Good effort, but missing the mark for real project managers and managers of time entry data.

Inconvénients: I am challenged by this product as of late. We integrate MS project to Replicon, but to change dates and update tasks takes an additional interface (RIA) once you reload your updated MS project schedule. Additionally when you reload the new schedule to update task availability, the incorrect task information is loaded so you have to use the RIA tool to fix it. Now the RIA tool has issues also. I have spent the better part of a year trying to help troubleshoot this tool with date formatting issues, configuration of your Replicon system to properly accept your entries. only to reload the RIA interface tool and have the formatting/syntax changed to something completely unknown.
Tech support is very friendly and eager to help, but software developers don't know what they don't manage or use. Explanations can take several interface calls, emails and machine takeover interactions. I am getting to the point where this is more trouble than it's worth or maybe I just need something more powerful.
There is also some customization, but again it is limited since project managers need different views and the ability to manipulate data, the way it's presented and overall presentation to the team. Column widths are not adjustable so a column with a single or two digit number might be 30 points wide and a text box containing a long task description might be 15 points across.

"One of the most intuitive tools out there when managing projects and tracking time spent on projects"

Commentaires: The Replicon team are very experienced and fantastic to work with
It's been very easy to use and manage
Managing projects has been made much more efficient and users are more engaged with the system

Avantages: Very easy to use
Wide range of options for use
Very easy to manage
UI is really easy to navigate

Inconvénients: Limited ability to customise, however, this makes it easier to manager, use the out of the box functionality and it will be very easy to manage
Not a lot of data to track changes made in certain areas of the UI but given it's easy to use, the rate of error is less, so doesn't really cause major issues
