For utilisation analysis you will want a dedicated tool, and you need the Ultimate plan, which is a jump from Grow. Time entry is simple enough that the team actually does it, which is about the only positive.
Pros

Real margins from real bills
It closed the gap on unbilled hours within the first quarter. Only real gripe is that it is job costing, not project management, there are no Gantt charts.

Good costing, not planning
Time entry is simple enough that the team actually does it, and tracked time pulls straight onto the invoice so nothing goes unbilled. No complaints so far.
Pros
Time entry is simple enough that the team actually does it.
Cons
No resource planning if you need to schedule the work as well.

Costs come from real supplier bills, not numbers typed into a spreadsheet, and we finally know which jobs make money rather than guessing. Reporting is limited to what Xero gives you, but we live with it.
