Jibble Reviews

Pros

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 huge help for 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. I like that we can also see weekly summary, edit and allocate to a specific client. 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.

Cons

The only think I haven't found yet is the ability to create a project your team is spending hours on. So far, I have done it using the client tool, I create a 'client' for every project that is owned by our company and then have the team log their hours there, but it would be nice if you can actually create projects as easy as you can create clients and log in hours in. Not being able to merge team members is a little bit frustrating (one of my team members created a team member using another email account and it appears as an extra team member) so I tried to merge them, into the same member profile but you can't.

Pros

The webapp interface is nice to use and they have some useful integrations making it even easier - switch tasks during a slack conversation. Being able to see what my full team, especially remote workers, are working on in real time and also in historical reports is very helpful. Seeing how much a project cost in developers time when multiple members of the team contributed is so much easier. Support is just a chat message or email away and everyone has been really helpful even taking on feature requests.

Cons

Isn't quite as flexible as we'd like so as we are trying to use it in a slightly different way than intended we have encountered some issues. For example we want to switch the tasks that our developers can say they are working on each sprint but deleting old tasks removes them from the historical reporting. Jibble say they are working on a solution to this but for now we just keep adding tasks and have tried to be more generic with the listings to avoid clutter. No Jira integration means we have to list the tasks manually - again something that Jibble may solve when they launch their api.

Pros

Jibble is VERY easy to use and allows for easy payroll calculations and full transparency with our staff. We have improved the efficiency of our payroll operations and developed trust with our employees because of this system.

Cons

I need the following for the system to be impeccable:1) The ability to use more than one overtime policy for a member: I need to use daily overtime (x1.5), rest day overtime (x2) and 45h week overtime simultaneously, which is not possible at the moment. I have to do this manually.2) I leave tracker that tracks how many paid leave is available per staff and how much remains/has been used. This would allow for automatic switch-over to unpaid leave after the limit is realized.3)A shift roster management system where staff can be assigned to shifts that can be customized in the system.

Pros

Not much. I thought it would work for me, it didn't.

Cons

It wasn't user friendly and not for someone like me who logs independant contract hours. The location is off as well.

Pros

The ability to keep track of when employees are at work.

Cons

The timesheet report for Jibble 2 needs the same features as the Jibble 1 report. I need it broken out by employee with a list of all the activities they worked on during the pay period with the total times on those activities for each day. The timesheet report in Jibble 2 only gives the total time by day and we need to see what activities were worked on during the pay period.

Pros

Jibble takes out all the hassle of having to clock in and out. The layout is very user-friendly and easy to comprehend, and all the information you need is easy to access.

Cons

I don't know if it has a feature where it can send you a notification to your mobile device when you are running late or are past for break set time. i think that would be a great feature to add to the software.

Pros

Website design is simple and easy to navigate.

Cons

When there's update, it takes hours before the system gets back up and running.

Pros

Jibble is designed very well, especially the diagrams in the dashboard. As a user, I am enticed to work more, and as a result, my income has increased.

Cons

I wish I could connect Jibble with my personal calendar so I could see the times in my calendar too. I would also like to see which time period I worked on each part of the app.

Pros

follow up , tracking employee logged in and logged out time , follow vacations , and breaks .

Cons

Some times stuck and stay about one hour without the ability to work .

Pros

I used some feature of this software so i just can say that it's definitely awesome for your working hours report.

Cons

It sometime lag in phone and don't show the right location.

Pros

The fact I can see weekly, monthly and that I can edit my clock-ins and outs.

Cons

The fact that it has to be sync. with google time. Not entirely sure what happens, but sometimes I press I clock-in on the phone and it just does not. No register stays on the phone. I believe it might be due to wireless connection though, yet no warning is given on the mobile application, at least that I am aware of.

Pros

Free to start, easy to implement & integration with slack

Cons

Leave management & payroll isnt available and should have the option to generate salary slip. can do some more work on employee database management

Free to start, Affordable and user friendly The best app for time tracking for small & medium size businesses

Pros

I love the ease of the program. It's so nice being able to keep better track of when my employees come in.

Cons

I wish I could have their pay associated with their time so I could see a calculation of what their monthly pay will be.

Reasons for Switching to Jibble

Jibble was inexpensive and their customer service is awesome!

Pros

My team was looking for a time tracking tool, but was hesitant to have to implement a stand-alone software. Jibble works perfectly smoothly on Slack with simple features and intuitive UI/UX.
I had to contact customer support once and the support I got was amazing.

Cons

It would be convenient to be able to edit time entries on Slack

Reasons for Switching to Jibble

It offered simple features and intuitive interface, and was overall easy to use for all employees and management.

Pros

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 on each project.

Cons

We wish labeling projects were easier. For example, we have different areas of our business, and it would be nice to be able to label a project "area 1" and also have the client name without having to create a "client name area 1" project for every single client we have. We have clients that cross areas and we'd rather be able to keep the client names consistent and be able to apply labels within that client name/project.
We also hope for more customizable timesheet exporting. The raw data as exported isn't appropriate for submitting to upper management, and requires formatting and editing. It's also strange that when you choose "include detailed notes from time entries" that it comes on a different sheet in the workbook that needs to be cut, pasted, and then matched with the appropriate time entry - that's a huge time waster for us.

Pros

The reporting feature, all the filters are useful and clear

Cons

The extension for Chrome... sometimes works, sometimes not

Accessibility and price

Pros

The ability to generate 'activities' that can be clocked in and out of is a great feature that allows us to understand where time is actually being spent, which we can then use to see if new processes are time-saving or not. The application overall is also very easy to use - there's very little setup or 'learning' time.

Cons

The mobile app for android has limited functionality, which means you have to use the web version for almost anything apart from clocking in & out. Access to a summary of total hours worked daily/this week, similar to the dashboard on the web version, would be a good improvement.

Pros

Jibble is really easy to use and the benefit is huge comparing it to its cost. It has improved our way of executing tasks and helped us in finding weak spots on our time distribution.

Cons

I think the mobile app can improve and be as complete as the web version.

Price and simplicity

Pros

The product is user friendly and works welll accross devices. The time tracking features is extreamly helpfull as well as incorporating lunch breaks in the total hours worked per day. As I am currently not paid for my lunch breaks this assist me greatly to determine how many hours I owe to my company.

Cons

There are a few features that I would recoment and would benefit greatfly from.
- To be able to display the hours and days in a callender view and be able to edit and add time from the callender view, currently it takes you into the day view and from there you can edit. This is very time comsuming when correcting entries of past dates.
- When viewing the collective data on the site it would be benneficial to see a summary of the total lunch hours. Currently you can only see the total lunch hours when exporting the information.
- To be able to add in the days you are on leave other than public holidays and have those hours automaticly added to the end of month total. This is for paid hours.
- To be able to export the callender in a calender format such as Google Callender intregration.

Pros

We area a service provider for elderly care in India and have to manage the online sales callers who manage the leads. The ease of maintaining the records of the efforts and time put in by the callers helps is analyse our effort estimation and efficiency. With Jibble helping us in record keeping we are able to deploy our callers better. Jibble also helps us avoid and resolve conflicts when it come the word of mouth records as we are currently working from home (WFH) and it is difficult to keep track of our callers constantly.

Cons

We wld want more features where we can set reminders for Employees to log in and nudge them to do task and take breaks in time.
We would also love if there was a geo location feature and also a way we could track the screen time (websites) of the employees.

Pros

Jibble app is easy to access - can be in the form of desktop app, mobile app or browser. With just a single click, I am able to time IN and time OUT on a work from home setup. It also gives you the timesheet so I can easily check whether I already completed the total required work hours.

Cons

Jibble desktop app can only be used online. In seldom cases, the Jibble desktop app was not able to capture some of my working hours especially at times when I was unaware that my internet has been disconnected. I was automatically time OUT when my PC becomes offline.

Pros

The ease of use was fantastic. We had an iPad at the office door which each and every member of staff could 'Jibble In' and 'Jibble Out' upon entering and leaving the building.

Cons

There wasn't really anything we didn't like about the software. Only problem we ever faced was that it requires internet to work properly. Would be great if it continued working like normal and then uploaded the data to the internet upon reconnection.

Pros

The ease of 'Jibble In' & 'Jibble Out', tracking the team's hours and the location feature.

Cons

In the future, I hope you can include a feature that can track absent days and the reasoning behind these days. For example, if one of our employees has to skip a day due to a family event, he/she would write a comment for the day that has to be missed. Furthermore, there should be a way to set the number of holidays that our employees get; in our case, 17 public days, 15 leave days and 5 sick days. With this, our employees can mark which type of 'day' he/she is taking off so that we know not to deduct his/her salary.

Pros

The best part of Jibble for me is the usability, it can be very intuitive to new users to understand how to track their own work time.

Cons

The software could be improved by using a bot that can alert or clock out automatically if the work hours in the day pass 20 hours (maybe create a limit). Sometimes people forget to CheckOut and the time still running in the background.

Pros

I was facing a challenge with configuring it in my MS Teams org, I dropped a message on their chat and they were able to help me set it up and troubleshoot for me, despite being a free user at the moment. This is the type of company you'd know to be successful

We've used Jibble since we were on Slack and then moved to teams. The ease of use makes it an amazing tool for my org and there is simply no other competitor that is up so close! Highly recommend Jibble to everyone!

Cons

Absolutely Nothing! They have developed the perfect software and web/mobile based application.
