“Great Customer Service”

Pros

Although I haven't started using the system extensively yet, I've already experienced the outstanding customer service provided by TimeIPS. The employees' dedication and willingness to help find the right product, rather than simply making a sale, is truly appreciated. Every person I've interacted with has been wonderful to work with helpful, patient, and extremely knowledgeable about the product. This level of customer service is just as important to me as the product itself.

Cons

I am currently in the process of familiarizing myself with the system, so I haven't used it enough to provide a rating. I do appreciate that the staff at TimeIPS is highly attentive to our satisfaction and is actively working on customizing certain areas to meet our specific requirements.

“Old school user interface”

Pros

The time-off request feature has been very useful for our accounting department in managing timesheets.

Cons

The interface is not well-organized and sometimes I struggle to find the functions I need. The link labels do not match what is shown on the navbar, and there is no option to specify a time range when requesting time off.

“Cheap, and a lot of features in a small package”

Pros

The features provided have far surpassed what we were accustomed to. For managing a large group of hourly employees who punch a time clock and are comfortable with self-administration, this is an excellent solution. We have had minimal downtime in over two years, with only one instance of the site being down.

Cons

Well the interface feels outdated, almost 20 years behind the times. Given that it is web-based, it is surprising that there have not been any major updates. While the features are robust, they can be quite complicated. Support is usually available and knowledgeable, but I had to manage a long checklist for user setup since each user needs to be configured in every area. The system handles PTO benefits adequately but many users found it confusing and frustrating initially. The web interface is overly complex and feels very outdated. There are also significant issues with web clocking. Although the sites uptime is excellent, there are occasional delays. Employees who do not wait for the screen to refresh often end up double-punching. Switching to dedicated time clocks might help avoid this problem.
