Primetric Reviews

Pros

I generate reports all the time, both for internal and external purposes. It used to be a very burdensome task, but now it’s just a matter of a few clicks. In Primetric, I can flexibly create and edit reports based on the data that’s already in the system, so I do not have to prepare information separately. I can also customize my reports and change them as I wish. To add to that, the reports are also connected to the time tracking feature included in the tool, so they are also perfect for monitoring and reporting on employee’s performance.

Cons

The search feature in the People tab could be better. Right now, after I click on one person’s profile, I need to go back and reload the page to see another. It’s quite burdensome right now.

Pros

Primetric comes with a broad range of features that cover the most important requirements and use cases of IT companies like ours. Based on my experience, I think it’s the best management and allocation system for an outsourcing company.

Cons

There’s no denying that just like any other solution, Primetric takes some time to get used to. But it’s well worth the effort because of all the features waiting there.

Tempo Timesheets

Reasons for Switching to Primetric

We wanted to implement a system to collect the most important information about the company in one place. We had a few Jiras used with clients, and it was hard to keep track of the whole thing. I had to export data from the systems, enter them manually, monitor projects, and use spreadsheets to track finances in one place (and, for example, adding overheads).

Pros

ease of use. The most important things are in front to user

Cons

big amount of possibilities that I was not able to use

Pros

Flexibility and pace of changes. Communication and cooperation with Primetric make it an unrivaled tool.

Cons

UI / UX is not always the most intuitive and takes a while to get used to

Resource Management

Reasons for Switching to Primetric

Dynamics 365 Project Service is hard to implement into organization and does not address all the critical aspects. We had great contact and possibility to verify Primetric with its current clients.

Pros

Primetrick is easy to use and I like the flexibility of the tool. I can keep track of the time of my tasks. When I start, I choose start, and when I finish, I choose stop.
I can register scheduled tasks in Primetrick in the morning, which I have in my calendar, and if something changes, edit them later.
In my opinion, using Primetrick allows me make a habit and be better organized.

Cons

It's hard for me to point out what I don't like about Primetrick. At the moment, the tool meets all my expectations.

Pros

The main advantage of this software is that it is a perfect reflection of software development processes in my company. Primetric covers all the actions you may need to complete a project; I can manage my resources there, I can plan and forecast my projects and, last but not least, I can monitor them, check their finances and react to any unexpected changes. Although it may sound complicated, Primetric is definitely not chaotic. I really enjoyed its simple, yet effective design that helped me get a hang of all operations I need to control. I could also see that with such features my processes were no longer time consuming and exhausting; now they are as straightforward as they can be.

Cons

While Primetric already offers some integrations, I feel like the tool could use some more. There are many new tools on the market I would like to add to the app, but they are not yet supported by it.

Pros

Primetric was clearly created with managers’ needs in mind. It offers detailed information on all the processes going on in the company (projects, employees, tracked hours, vacancies, and more). At the same time, it also has a number of configuration options allowing users to view this information from different perspectives, such as reports, Gantt charts and calendars.
I also noticed that the tool is quickly growing and trying to respond to users’ needs even more - and I feel that this approach is the best thing you can have as a customer.

Cons

Whenever large quantities of data are processed, UX/UI doesn’t seem to keep up with them; it could use a bit more work. APIs could also be expanded (i.e. filtering and automations).

Pros

Primetric is a comprehensive solution that helps IT companies explore their key indicators and compare their plans with reality. The calendar is a really great feature as it allows us to see people’s availability from a bird's eye view. Moreover, Primetric’s API helped to integrate the solution to the other tools we’re currently using.

Cons

I honestly admit that I can't get used to the filter that appears after clicking on the field.

Pros

First of all, we have everything in 1 place: time tracking, resource planning, and financial reports. Primetric was created for Software Houses in cooperation with Software Houses.

Cons

Initially, the product was not perfect in terms of UX / UI, but there are positive changes.

Pros

Primetric introduced me to good planning of work for all of the team members. Thanks to its calendar view I'm able to quickly review and find gaps in our management. So it not only helps to allocate team members but also to make better decisions in recruitment strategy.

Cons

The budgeting view and options are not there yet compared to apps dedicated to finance

Reasons for Switching to Primetric

Dedicated software, not a general tool

Pros

It's a good platform it allows me to manage projects, finance and orientation of my clients to ensure success and long-term evolution

Cons

I don't have any inconvenience at the moment when using this software

Pros

- Having all info about employers in one place.
- easy to manage when it comes to add new and take back accesses
- customer support is actually listening users
- reports generation
- clear road map

Cons

- not intuitive datepicker - When I click a calendar I'm always surprised about the date that is selected - it's randomly sometimes 2018, sometimes it's one month ago, sometimes it's just today. You never know ;)
- some settings in tool are not remembered, ex. if I have a week mode (week filter) in timesheet, I would like to have it next time I turn on tool again

Pros

Financial reports are a major advantage of Primetric. They allow me to see how much profit and cost a certain project made, and how that translates to the overall profitability of my company. Also, I get easy access to developer rates which is really helpful for rapid project estimation. Finally, Primetric helps tremendously in resource allocation and gives us a bird’s eye view of current, future, and past allocations for easier planning.

Cons

There was one aspect of the software that presented a steep learning curve for me - project settlement. It took me a long time to figure out how to properly settle tasks. I still made mistakes though, and when that happened I was forced to remove the project and start again.

Pros

I like the fact that Primetric combines the management of resources and projects with their finances. That mixture of features allows me and other managers in my organization to monitor profitability and improve it further. I can see the details of all the costs, including wages and their changes, overheads and other spendings, compare them to incomes and settle them - all while looking directly at the project in question. It’s a very convenient solution.

Cons

I would like Primetric team to expand the solution’s access management, so I could decide in detail what PMs see in their profiles.

Pros

It is a comprehensive tool that has everything an IT company needs to monitor its finances. It allowed me to gather all the financial data I needed to get a bigger picture of our operations. I also loved the customer support provided by Primetric - the company is both flexible and transparent in its communication and I can count on their help whenever I need it.

Cons

It may look a bit difficult for people who do not have an in-depth understanding of the features. Still, it is a matter of getting used to the tool's interface.

Pros

The time tracking feature is perfectly tailored to my needs. I can see the overview of the day, week or month, I can quickly add everything I did to the system, and I can do it all in the dark mode. For me, it’s more than enough to spend less time doing time tracking.

Cons

I would like the description of my tracked hours to copy automatically whenever I add new hours to the project - I need to copy and paste it manually right now

Pros

Time tracking feature is very simple - I simply need to click one button next to my allocation to fill in basic details and add my own comments, if I have any. I can also choose whether I want to do it in the light mode, or the dark mode. The design in general is very good, simple and user friendly.

Cons

Sometimes I need to wait a few seconds to reload a page after changing the input data.

Pros

What first struck me in Primetric was all the guidelines and instructions it provides to new users. Even though the whole tool is very intuitive and well-designed, I could not help thinking that the creators went to great lengths to provide users with everything they need to familiarize themselves with the tool within minutes.
In addition, the processes included in Primetric are also really good. Time tracking is amazing; it takes just a few clicks. The calendar it’s based on is also nice. I can see all the holidays for my region, and the region can be changed for each employee individually.

Cons

There was nothing wrong with it. Still, I would be grateful if Primetric’s team introduced some non-mandatory charts for working and non-working hours; that would certainly make reporting even easier than it is now.

Pros

It's probably provided all the features which helps you in your time and effort reduction. You can manage your projects planning through calendar management feature. Many other features like task management, status tracking, Time & Expense tracking are very useful and effective.

Cons

I'm using this software for handling multiple projects planning. For now i didn't face any issue with this software.

Pros

I like that the time tracking feature is simple, intuitive, and, above all, tailored to the needs of the users. For example, I get notified whenever I need to fill in some hours in the system. I also do not have to fill in my time offs in it; they are automatically imported from other tools integrated with Primetric.

Cons

The starting time for my daily work is automatically set to the time I log my hours at; as a result, I have to change the hour manually every time, since I track my time at the end of the day.

Pros

For me, as for PM, the most important thing is to find resources easily and quickly. This is where we keep all the knowledge up to date. The tool is extremely easy to use and it was very easy to implement in our company.

Cons

I only use Primetric to a narrow extent according to my needs, so unfortunately I have no opinion on this

Pros

It is very easy to use and has simple, readable interface. Just few seconds after I started using that I knew where to click and where the information I need are. I like the amount of functionalities - not too much not too little - you won't get lost here. The graphic layout is also pleasing to the eye - modern, simple and functional.

Cons

Not too much - sometimes I forget myself and try to add new time log entry while being on week view, not day view which allows to add only hours log but not specific tasks which were done during the day. I know it's logical solution but intuitively I would like to have such possibility. Right now you have to enter the day view to add your daily occupations. You can't do it in the week view and see other days.
Apart from that I'm a fan of compact designs so I'd love to see the layout which is not full width but only part of screen. But it's just a wish not complaint.

Pros

In my opinion, the best part of Primetric is time tracking. I work on many projects at the same time, and recording my working hours used to be a burden. In Primetric, I can see my exact allocations (and I do not have to calculate them separately) and I just click on them to add the hours to my calendar. And I no longer get lost in my allocations, which is a big plus, too

Cons

The mobile version of the website is a bit slow. I hope it will be fixed in the future.

Pros

I work with many projects at once on a daily basis. With Primetric, I can divide my work to reflect these projects and track the hours I worked in them without getting lost in dozens of different tools or spreadsheets. I can also see the tasks and phases I will participate in and I know exactly what I will be doing in the future.

To add to that, I can easily do all these things. Primetric works smoothly, with no interruptions, and I do not have to manually enter too much data into the system. It’s a perfect tool for saving time.

Cons

I would love the calendar in the system to show me the days with working hours I forgot to track in the system. Right now, I need to click through the entire month to find them.

Pros

I’ve never had any troubles with this software. I can easily find and use all the features I need and track time within seconds. It’s much easier to control my allocations and summarize them by the end of a month or a week.

Cons

There’s no mobile version for this app, just a version for the mobile browser.
