Pros and cons

Trigger is very easy to use and is perfect for digital agency such as ours. We like how it is being developed and improved in response to requests.
This is a brilliant app that seamlessly helps you manage clients, projects and tasks.
This is a fantastic way to stay organised, keep on top of multiple projects, and even your own to do list.
When we mentioned this to them they added the feature that was missing within a week.
The control over notifications is not granular enough - you either get excessive useless notifications or you are left out of the loop.
No software will ever do everything you need as it was not custom designed for our companies purpose or our unique operations.

This software is what I've been looking for over the last year

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

I have a small agency in Bolton, UK and have been looking for a time tracking tool which is easy to use and can be used without massive training or learning. There were a few bits I had to speak to customer services about but these became obvious it was me in a rush rather than the software.

Cons

It would be nice to have the option to download reports in a pdf format and white label them. So it's a bit easier to send through to clients at the end of the month. However, this is a minor thing I think would be a good addition.

A Great Solution for creative companies starting to track / manage projects

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

Trigger is aggressively priced and is great platform for companies (and their owners/bosses) who are skeptical or curious about the value of using a web-based platform to manage project, companies, time-tracking, etc... It gives us what we need right now and we've been very happy with the responsiveness of the Trigger team to answer questions and listen to our requests for new features or changes. They seem like a really well run company.

Cons

No software will ever do everything you need as it was not custom designed for our companies purpose or our unique operations. One of our biggest frustrations has been the ability to download more complete data from Trigger so that we can do more analysis and review in Excel / spreadsheets rather than the website/app. On a positive note, Trigger has listened to this request and they have been working on creating these solutions.

Decent features, excellent integrations, non-existent support.

Reviewed 5 years ago

It challenged my understand of my needs and helped me re-prioritize what I actually needed in a replacement service.

Pros

Xero accounting integration via API Robust Slack integration Employee timesheets view is mostly helpful

Cons

Abandonware level support. The only support I was ever able to receive was when I initiated by finding the phone number of the parent company in Australia and calling. I will say, they were completely lovely and helpful via phone and the couple followup emails. But after, total silence. In the end, I can't risk logging hours in a system with no support and we're moving to product that prizes it. Here's...

Nice project management tool gaps in a few places, but the team are working hard to build out.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Simple time and resource management.

Pros

Nice intuitive interface. Quick and simple to set projects up. Time tracking is easy and quick. Good customer support. Constantly adding new useful features. The product development team listen to requests and you can quite often have an impact in the future of product development. Integrates easily with lots of useful third party systems and apps.

Cons

Billing setup is slightly convoluted. Invoicing is not simple/sometimes hard to generate correctly. Resource allocation/management is not the best out there.

Fantastic - easy to use, clean interface, has improved our workflow.

Reviewed 6 years ago

higher productivity within our teams, greater client satisfaction because they like the transparency Trigger offers, but at the same time we retain control of some information. Fantastic ease of use, and also integration with key software that our team uses - xero/google.

Pros

Love the look and feel of it, integrates well with Xero, Google Suite and it's easy to use with clients and contractors as well as regular staff. It has made working with teams across timezones very easy.

Very intuitive and great support - We have used similar programs a few in the past.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Streamlined the job timing and invoicing process on a small to medium Graphic Design team.

Pros

We are a graphic design studio and Trigger is an excellent fit for us, it connects seamlessly with our accounting software (Xero) and makes it very easy to invoice at the end of the month as apposed to a few other programs we have tried.

Cons

We have used other software that has a desktop timer which makes it a lot easier to time jobs as we have a lot of small 15 min jobs and this feature is sorely missed. Trigger have announced that they are developing this feature so we look forward to this in the future.

Vendor response

Thanks James! Yes, we are hoping to release our new desktop Trigger Timer in May 2017, as well as our new integration with Slack. :)

Serviceable app, but not the best project management software available

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The look and feel of the interface is good - it's one of the better-looking project management solutions.

Cons

Keeping track of tasks that you're involved in but are not currently assigned to is difficult. The control over notifications is not granular enough - you either get excessive useless notifications or you are left out of the loop.

An outstanding time management and invoicing system for small companies

Reviewed 6 years ago

Excellent project tracking and invoicing

Pros

it does what it must, it does it well and does not clutter you with fancy useless stuff! It has almost all functionalities required to manage your company projects from project management to invoicing. These are kept basic to preserve the system to the mission critical functions without dilution. The application is rock solid (not one single down time in 5 months) and has very few bugs (only one found)

Cons

Some limitation on the project management and planning/budgeting functionalities when come to proposal assembling.

The most user friendly time tracker and project management tool I have ever found.

Reviewed 6 years ago

Accurate and timely client and contractor billing. Ability to manage project timelines to ensure project completion. Our team enjoys every aspect of this software, and finally, use it every day. Trigger has made my invoicing and contractor payments seamless, allowing me to invoice regularly with a click of a button.

Pros

Ease of use, reporting capabilities and amazing customer service. It is the first time I've found a tracking software that differentiates between employee and contractors, which is what i have been looking for 2 years now. Thank You Trigger!

Great Product - Excellent Support

Reviewed 6 years ago

After having tried out more products than I wish to remember we finally found Trigger. We tested it out and right from the beginning we liked it. It suited 90% of our needs. When we mentioned this to them they added the feature that was missing within a week. 100% Customer Satisfaction.

Pros

Easy to use - great support team

Cons

There is nothing that I can think of.

Intuitive and easy to integrate into existing workflow

Reviewed 6 years ago

Out of everything I've tried, which is basically everything there IS, Trigger is the only one that nails the UI and my staff is able to use it pretty much effortlessly, even the non-techie ones. Trying to get a team to adopt anything new is like herding cats! With Trigger, it's just so easy to understand that they just adopted it pretty much naturally.

Great App

Reviewed 11 years ago

This is a brilliant app that seamlessly helps you manage clients, projects and tasks. It has a great dashboard that gives you an easy to understand overview of your projects. It integrates into our accounting package ( Xero ) and pushes invoices across at the click of a button. You can keep an eye on your budgets at a project level or a company level. The timesheet function is great for a business owner as no time will go unbilled and your resources are all accountable for their cost of seat.

Pros

Simple, Easy to Use , Great GUI , Budget tracking , Accounting Integration with Xero

Cons

None so Far

Excellent App

Reviewed 11 years ago

This is a fantastic way to stay organised, keep on top of multiple projects, and even your own to do list. Being able to add users to projects, takes away email conversations, and keeps everyone up to date on how things are progressing. Issues are kept in one place, and nothing is missed. Trigger App has helped me better assess how long various projects take, meaning we can price our services better. - Excellent.

Pros

Easy to use, Can be intergrated with accounting software, Can upload images to tasks

Cons

I've found nothing that I don't like about this App.
