Dovico Software Reviews

“The Ultimate Time Management Solution for Your Business

Pros

As a user of Dovico software in a mid-sized company, I've found it to be a reliable and useful tool for tracking employee time and managing projects. One of the biggest pros of Dovico is its ease of use. The software has a clean and user-friendly interface, making it easy for me and my colleagues to track our time and for managers to manage projects. It also provides a range of tools for managing projects, including time tracking, scheduling, invoicing, and reporting. Dovico offers integrations with a variety of other business applications, including QuickBooks, Xero, and FreshBooks. Another major advantage of Dovico is its flexibility. It allows me to track my time in a variety of ways, including via the web, mobile app, or even from my desktop. This makes it easy for me to track my time no matter where I am, and for managers to get an accurate picture of how our teams are performing.

Cons

However, I've noticed some downsides to using Dovico. One of the major cons for me is that it can be a bit complicated to set up and configure. This is especially true for my small business, which doesn't have dedicated IT staff to handle these tasks. Additionally, I find the software to be a bit pricey compared to some other time-tracking solutions on the market.

“Good time tracking software

Pros

This software allows me to submit my timesheet and hours to the project supervisor. It does what I expect time tracking software to do.

Cons

The timesheet does not allow me to input hours without also inputting notes or descriptions for what I've done. The web interface elements look a bit old, and the UI is not very intuitive. I have to create a timesheet, add the timesheet, and manually input the descriptions.

“Dovico is useful for approving employee payroll

Pros

I like that I can add as many lines as I like for any employee. I can add lines for different uses for time off and additionally, lines that can be attributed to certain tasks or projects. This is very helpful for me as a supervisor to see how employees are spending their time.

Cons

I find the Dovico dashboard not intuitive. I need to be very familiar with the software to know where to navigate from the home screen.

“after switching to a new product, I wish i could go back to this one!

Pros

I used this software to track my time usage for the projects I was on. Although the interface was simple, it got the job done. I was able to easily track my time, and it does that well. We switched to a new product recently, and it is so much worse than Dovico!

Cons

My only complaint about this software is that the interface might need a little updating. However, the backend works well for me.

“Almost a complete time tracking package

Pros

It's very easy to set up and use. The reports are very useful and can be customized.

Cons

I find no usable billing function and no integration with other large project management software. Additionally, the interface looks dated.

“Fits Our Time Tracking Needs Perfectly

Pros

The great report writing feature allows me to customize reports to my needs and is easy to use. I often find myself customizing reports for one reason or another, to pull specific data that we need to look at. The report writing tool is intuitive to use and plenty robust. I can generate reports and import them into spreadsheets for analysis.

Cons

The software is great, and I have no complaints. Now, if only I could get all employees to ensure they record their hours on time each week without needing multiple prompts!

“Dovico Analysis

Pros

I find the usability and process to create new project initiatives to be quite good.

Cons

It's not possible for me to customize a report based on user necessity without special software. It's not easy to find APIs to integrate Dovico with other systems available within my company. I want to integrate Dovico Timesheet with the payroll system available within my company to get human cost per hour automatically every month.

“Nice timesheet tool for SME organisations

Pros

Everything about Dovico is praiseworthy including the completeness of the tool for timesheets, cost calculations, expenses, etc.

Cons

The interface feels a bit "old-fashioned." I think the reports could be more user-friendly and intelligent.

“Overall very good

Pros

Their customer service is great, the software flexible and customizable, and it's easy to use.

Cons

I can't recall a timesheet once it's submitted. Also, some of the report types could be explained in more depth. In the "Budgeted Time and Costs" window, when I filter to a specific person, the "Hours" field doesn't change to show the individual's total hours.

“Cost Effective Time Software

Pros

For me, it was very easy to implement and the customer service is superior.

Cons

There are many canned reports, but I experience some issues when creating specialized reports.

“Dovico for a Small company with lots of short term projects

Pros

It is extremely easy to use and very intuitive - almost anything I need to do I can figure out without having to ask for help.

Cons

I also use Dovico for billing, and there is no easy way for me to figure out what hours have been billed and what have not been.

“Good Software Tool if configured correctly at set up

Pros

I think the tool is easy to use for timesheet entry and for administrators, and it allows for plenty of tailoring to suit the organizational reporting needs.

Cons

Our original setup configuration was not well thought through, and it's been easy for our database to become huge due to the number of task codes and multiple assignments. This has made it very difficult for me to control the amount of data.

“Couple of features that could be improved

Pros

Logging time is pretty easy for me, although it could remind me if I had forgotten to submit.

Cons

The maximum number of lines on a timesheet is 200, which is not enough for me. When I export reports to Excel, they need a lot of manipulation, such as converting from text to numbers and dealing with loads of hidden spare lines.

“Great Web Based Timesheet System

Pros

I Love the ease of use in tracking actuals versus budgets for all projects, client invoicing, and accessibility , I can access it anywhere, anytime.

Cons

I wish we could have timesheets approved by email instead of hard copy printouts. Our clients sign weekly timesheets, which we use for billing, and they all comment that this is such old technology.

“Timesheet gives me the detail I need to know what my employees are spending their time on

Pros

I like the flexibility to make it look how I want, add projects and tasks easily, and the ability to add comments to time entries.

Cons

When I try to change how projects are viewed by the user of the Timesheet, the Projects and Tasks editing pages don't look anything like the Timesheet. It can be a bit of trial and error for me to get the look I want for how projects and tasks are grouped and displayed for the user.

“Timesheet Review

Pros

Once set up, the system is easy for me to use and follow.

Cons

If I make an entry under the wrong engineer, I cannot change the engineer's name. I have to enter all the information again under the correct engineer's name.

“BOSS Dovico Review

Pros

I find the ease of use of the product from setting up projects, adding time entries, and running the numerous selection of reports to be very good.

Cons

I need help setting up budget costs, project fees, and employees' rates of wage, etc.

“Great Software

Pros

The software is easy to use, and I admire that the reports are customizable.

Cons

Archiving projects is difficult for me and must be done by Dovico.

“Improvement Points for Generalists

Pros

If I work on one specific project, it is easy for me to allocate my time.

Cons

If I work on several projects at the same time, it is difficult for me to allocate my time correctly. Is it possible to distribute the time over several projects by Dovico?

“Long Term User

Pros

It's easy for me to log into, with little to no service disruptions, and it is customizable.

Cons

I am not able to input a negative value for time. For example, time over one week and under the next.

“The timesheet software that is not a spreadsheet

Pros

I believe that Dovico captures everything relevant to a consulting engineering company regarding time and expenses. I also like that supporting documents can be uploaded to back up claims, which elevates it from ordinary timesheet software to a truly practical tool. The pie charts are particularly useful, giving me the added advantage of evaluating where most time is spent, and I can drill down into the details with ease.

Cons

At times I find it a bit difficult to get support online, but as soon as I send an email to the support team, help comes through. I'm not sure what can be done to make it easier to get help online.

“We have gotten spoiled!

Pros

Without a doubt, the best thing about this software for me is the reports. Sometimes, we have 50 active billable clients, and Dovico provides the reports I need to ensure they all get billed properly. We used the locally hosted platform for five or six years before switching to the Dovico-hosted version. Having Dovico host the software has been a huge plus because it allows our employees to log their hours while working in the field.

Cons

The only complaint I have, and "complaint" is stronger than necessary, is the price increases. I've shopped around and found cheaper services but have not found anything that even comes close to Dovico's reports. I'm spoiled and gladly pay my annual subscription!

“Custom Reports

Pros

I need to know how to find a report, project, task, add employees, and share tasks with contractors.

Cons

I cannot always slice and dice the information needed to run my business.

“Great Time reporting tool

Pros

This software is very smooth to use and the level of customization that's possible.

Cons

It only has two levels of activities: Project and Tasks. In some cases, I could use a third level, as this would reduce the number of items in tasks that are not really tasks. The tool could also be used for planning purposes but lacks some reporting in that area (monthly time allocation-staff vs availability).

“Multiple Techteams Timetracking (7 teams, 80 users)

Pros

It is very smooth ans easy to use, requiring only a one-hour startup training for new users.

Cons

Being powerful, it requires some adjustments to find the right setup . Once I found the correct setup and working methodology, it became easy to use.

“Saved from starving

Pros

I consider it user-friendly, easy to use, and the customized reports are great.

Cons

I am missing a document describing best practices for some admin modules (e.g., Limited Access).

“TEAM POTENTIAL review

Pros

This application is easy to use, and the mobile app is practical when I need to validate timesheets.

Cons

The reporting module is outdated. I find limitations on interfaces with reporting tools (i.e., Power BI).

“Good solution but it could be improved :)

Pros

Dovico is meeting my needs for reporting and invoicing our services to our customers.

Cons

At this point, I am using two solutions to manage our support engineers' time. One of them is Dovico, where they register the time they spend for our customers, and another is MS SharePoint, where we create a schedule for them to know where they have to be in the next days. I would love to use the same application for both needs, but unfortunately, Dovico is not providing the right solution for that. My colleague, who is in charge of scheduling our resources, discussed with somebody from your support, and they couldn't find a solution.

“Easy to use!

Pros

I consider it easy to use for creating modules and adding employees, and it's easy to customize.

Cons

The biggest issue I have is that every month I run a report of timesheets that need paying, which could be backdated months. In order to flag which payments were already made in the past, I have to go into each entry on each employee's calendar and tick it off one by one. This takes hours to do, and it would be nice if I could more easily mark or tick them off.

“Dovico review

Pros

Devico has the simple learning curve, great customization options, Jira integration, and excellent reporting.

Cons

I notice a lack of invoicing capabilities and find the mobile app weird and old.

“Well Done Guys!

Pros

I consider the interface user-friendly and it's quick and easy to configure, deploy, and learn.

Cons

I think reporting features can be improved both in functionality and looks & feel.

“Long time user

Pros

Dovico interface and the general user-friendliness is amazing.

Cons

The budget feature is least easy to use and needs development. The report builder needs development, particularly to be able to present actual and budgets properly. Reports need an invoice-like feature to send to accounts packages.

“Using Dovico for Mamagement Consulting services

Pros

Their good functionality and excellent ease of use from both desktop/laptop and mobile devices.

Cons

I find the project planning template inflexible to use on the fly.

“Review After 1st 2 Months

Pros

Having timesheet and expense tracking in one place is amazing, the multi-currency and conversion options, ease of implementation and use, and great support. It's a really good 80/20 solution.

Cons

The desktop interface could use an update. All the functionality is good, but the views and buttons beyond the pull-down menus have a "legacy" software look and usability. It's not a big deal, but new users are not sure what is a button and what is a label. BIG ASK: Is it possible to implement more than one-time entry for the same task on the same day?

“Dovico review 2019

Pros

I consider the technical support great and love the fact that it's accessible from anywhere.

Cons

The software graphics have not been updated ever. I still need a more user-friendly dashboard like the new iCloud QuickBooks website. Archiving data from past employees should be left on project files; sometimes, I need to access this to compare profitability on past projects versus new ones. More inquiry needs to be done on reports needed by users.

“The Software that saved my weekends

Pros

I cherish being able to enter job tasks that employees can pick from to better calculate a cost analysis.

Cons

I don't really have a dislike, but there are so many options that I don't even utilize all the available options.

“Great program with some suggested updates.

Pros

I believe it's easy to use, and being internet-based is great for employees out of the office.

Cons

I recommend a couple of changes. First, once a timesheet project is clicked, it would be great if it can be automatically minimized and separated out of the internet software to its own link and not left as a tab. Any given day, many other tabs are opened at the same time, and sometimes a quick close of the internet engine closes what I want to close but inadvertently closes the Dovico timesheet as well. This is and should be a background program for most people, not a primary program, so although you may think it needs to be front and center, I prefer it to be in the background minimized automatically on its own internet connection and expanded when I click on it. I think this was how it was when it was a program run on the computer, not internet-based. Second, I would like the list of projects to have the option to list in the opposite order, from top to bottom. Over the years, I have accumulated many project numbers, and when adding new and working on more recent project numbers, I have to always scroll down the page to the bottom, which is a pain. It should be like Outlook, where you can simply switch the list up or down. Thanks.

“Excellent Software

Pros

It is very user-friendly and easy to teach new employees how to use. The layout of the timesheet is very self-explanatory. I also like that I can log in from anywhere to enter my time or do maintenance work, and the mobile app is a plus.

Cons

I feel restricted as far as using the program with QuickBooks payroll portion. Rather than setting up the software as it is meant to be used (meaning to use it for tracking the actual job task), I have to use the "Tasks" to correspond with the employee's title in order for payroll to submit correctly.

“Dovico Review

Pros

Tou can get help instantly and the software even allows you to generate reports automatically.

Cons

It's not ideal yet. I will find out. I always keep in touch with you guys. My main concern is that I will be able to get help to have the customized reports our company needs.

“Early Internship Review

Pros

What I like about this software is the ability to make notes about what each work segment was about and describe what went on in the day to my employer.

Cons

I think the interface could use some work. Making it look simpler would help a beginner with this software. It's certainly a helpful tool, but it could use a more engaging interface.

“Timesheet and Expense Tracking

Pros

It is very easy to keep track of time, and I can generate various reports to meet the client's needs.

Cons

I find it frustrating not being able to enter expenses on multiple jobs from one screen. In a day's time, I work on five different projects and use the same expenses, but I have to submit each project expense, which takes time. Also, I cannot change the project number without deleting it and starting over if an expense is submitted on the wrong project.

“A+++ - Anytime/Anywhere/Amazing

Pros

It's very user-friendly. All our offices, including those in PA, NY, and the United Kingdom, use Dovico. Both inner office employees and on-site inspectors can upload and enter their hours anytime, with no excuses. It's very helpful in time tracking and allocating.

Cons

I am not sure if it's an internal issue I need to work on or something with the software. For some reason, the start and end dates do not always match on the employees, and I have to go in and adjust them so everyone is aligned.

“Dovico Review

Pros

We really like this time card software. We can describe tasks as required for our client's review, and it's critical for us to add descriptions to all our billings.

Cons

It might take a little time for me to set up each project and add task descriptions as required, but in the end, these descriptions are critical.
