It is great to be able to time record for clients as a solicitor. I assume that many other sector areas will use this software too, but it is invaluable for us. Training is needed, but once you get the hang of it, it is very useful and gets easier to use!
Pros
As a solicitor, we use this time recording app every day. Its functionality is good, and now they have created not only a desktop version, but also a mobile version. I have got to learn the quicker ways and shortcuts within Carpe Diem, through my consistent use (such as creating nicknames for files, temporary timers and repeat timers). I wouldn't be able to do my job without this software.
Cons
It takes a while to get to know and use this software with ease. It does require training, usually from someone specialist in tech. The design is a little outdated, but it does the job. I don't normally use the mobile functioning, but I have heard that it operates quite well.

Removing active timers was not really intuitive.

It was a good time tracker 10+ yrs ago but is now way behind the competition. Needs a fresher outlook.
Pros
The view of the month with all days of entries is useful. However, it would be great if there is an option for all entries to be displayed on one page/multiple pages. This facilitates the search back in time.
Cons
Very difficult to find the proper client/name to make an entry. The type of activity is pointless - almost everyone reiterates to MIS. This feature just slows down the whole process. The clients are interested only in a short description of the work done by the relevant professional. Regular downtimes.

Review from a daily user
Reviewed on 19/01/2022
Pros
My Company uses Carpe Diem as our time entry software.
Ease of use: It can be accessed on the internet after logging into our internal portal. The desktop interface is easy to maneuver and I like how it has built-in spell check.
Cons
1) The phone app is not really easy to use. For instance, carpe diem doesn't let you submit entries before running a spellcheck. However, I've always had trouble running a spellcheck on the phone app.
2) Once the entries are submitted/transferred, there is no way you can recall the entries. I don't like it because sometimes we don't have a matter code at the moment and need to temporarily book it under another matter code. It is just hard to edit the matter code and we need to recreate a new entry and reverse the old entry.

Carpe Diem has facilitated tracking my time spent on files greatly with one click of a mouse. It has helped increase my productivity, as it facilitates my billing process.
Pros
Carpe Diem is intuitive and easy to use in order to track and enter time efficiently. I have used the software for over 3 years and have never had an issue with it.
Cons
The overall look of the software does look outdated and could use an improvement. However, this does not take away from the functionality of the software.
