"I previously used Paymo at my company."
What do you like best about Paymo?

I like that it's has an automatic time tracking app, and helps you efficiently manage different projects simultaneously. We're a small company and it allows us to all collaborate on the same project, or just have one user assigned per project dependent upon needs.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

I think there could be a cheaper price for a smaller team that functions more as a startup. The timer function also restarts when you step away instead of showing you where you left off.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We need to effectively and efficiently manage several products under a small team. We could also

"Good invoice management"
What do you like best about Paymo?

We like the invoice management the best. We use Paymo to invoice our clients, and it really does a good job of keeping things organized (which invoices have been paid, have been sent, or are still in review.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

I think the lack of a good iOS app that runs on iPad is a big disappointment.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We're trying to track how much time we spend on projects.

"Paymo: A great help"
What do you like best about Paymo?

Very easy to use. Great for organizing projects: task lists, deadlines and tine-tracking are all very straightforward.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

Would like more drag and drop capability between projects and ability to export tasks lists but these are not 'show stopper' issues.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

The cloud based system means it can be accessed anywhere on different devices though I primarily use the browser version on my Mac. I find it easier to track multiple projects and manage time.

"Good and simple but it lacks some things"
What do you like best about Paymo?

The time tracking they have, also, the API they have so you can develop your own tools that fit your needs in order to customize Paymo and make it a unique tool for your company.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

There are two things that Paymo lacks and are really needed: The first one is resource allocation. The second one is gantt for plannification. The problem is that tasks and task lists on't have a begin date, so it is very dificult to plan multiple projects.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are currently solving the need to know if our developers are working all the time we plan, and if our estimates are valid.

"Great for sole proprietor"
What do you like best about Paymo?

I appreciate how straightforward the interface is - very easy to use, easy to drag and drop time on the calendar-style timecard, and easy to run reports.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

Only 1 invoice per month for the basic subscription.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use the timer to keep myself accountable, and accurately track all of my billable time.

"Paymo Review"
What do you like best about Paymo?

I love the style of the Kanban board and that you can both track time and create tasks for others.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

The status of others on each project is hard to track and the deadlines don't show clearly on the boards.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Capacity to a degree. Also, time tracking and reporting is made very simple.

"Paymo is a little confusing and can be difficult to work with"
What do you like best about Paymo?

There are different layouts on how you can view your projects. There is the list, table, board, and calendar layouts.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

I dislike how confusing it is and it is difficult to use. Compared to Click-Up, it doesn't connect tasks well. I'm not sure if even that feature is available because I tried looking for it, but haven't found it yet. In Click-Up, you could see when the task before your task has been completed or not, which then it would tell you that you can start your task now. I wish it had a feature like that. If the person who created the task forgets to add in the deadline, then I would never see that task on my dashboard. I have to go searching for it among the many pages.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Paymo as a project management tool for everyone on our team. It's been giving us some trouble though. There aren't many benefits.

"Helpful Time Tracking Tool ... but can be somewhat challenging for large team"
What do you like best about Paymo?

I love being able to edit time for every member of the team.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

Coordinating use of Paymo between 15+ team members is challenging, when you don't want to expose salary data – so we always need to export data and run separate reports.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

We weren't doing a good job measuring the time it takes for each step in our production process. Hubspot was too invasive. Toggl was more aesthetically pleasant but too confusing. Paymo was the least invasive tool that was easiest for the team to adopt. Since adopting Paymo we've been able to see how much time we spend in each step of the production process.

"Great for tracking time when juggling many projects"
What do you like best about Paymo?

The ease with which I can enter time and drill down to a project and task is wonderful! Tracking time can be cumbersome and tedious, so anything to streamline entry is super helpful. The analytics provided by Paymo is great, too. I love seeing the composition of my tracked time in my dashboard.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

When entering time as number of hours (instead of start and end times), I occasionally get annoyed by having to enter two digits (a zero and another number) for a single digit number of hours. For example, having to enter "02" for 2 hours is an extra keystroke that seems unnecessary.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our company is using Paymo to quantify how much it costs to produce the content we produce, tracking for each step of the process.

"Hit and Miss"
What do you like best about Paymo?

Simple to use and available on the cloud

What do you dislike about Paymo?

There support team is dismissive. More than once I've asked to have something changed or fixed after an upgrade to have them tell me "that's the way it's always worked". I'm paying customer, and they don't want to bother to make the tool configurable to fit me. For instance: 1. A few months back they put through an update that changed the behavior of time posting in agenda mode. I used to be able to have the "weekly view" up and the posting would default to the current day & time when posting. Now it always defaults to the beginning of the week. Their solution was to use the "day" view instead. I say bullshit. I used to work the other way - I never requested a change to this nor was there any communication out that this functionality should be changing. 2. I've asked a couple times now for the default billing period to be configurable. It's set to 15 minute increments. I billing in 5 minute increments...so I'm forced to manually type in entries. Again, the development/support team is more than happy to take my $$ each month but not give me any functionality that I need.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm just trying to track time against project activities.....nothing more. I have separate accounting software for my billing. I use this because it's an online tool and I can get to it from the client site without having to VPN.

"Used to be good then they destroyed it with stupid pricing. Sole Traders Avoid"
What do you like best about Paymo?

The software in its entirety is easy to use.

What do you dislike about Paymo?

Paymo decided to change the pricing structure meaning small companies now have to pay for 3 use licenses to get any meaningful features. On the accounting there should be a way to only bill the client once a month for multiple complete projects. It will also be good to have a prepaid option.

What problems is Paymo solving and how is that benefiting you?

Paymo used to be a great bit of software as it was an all in one. This being said they decided to change the pricing meaning as a sole trader to make the software of any use ie with accounting you now have to pay for 3 user licenses. They do offer a reduced version for single users however this only allows task management to which there are plenty of free software
