Pros from Real Users

Pros

  • I am able to track the hours I work on each customer’s projects and bill each customer accurately, including with screenshot logs
  • The programme is extremely good for the time and software of the screen to be tracked. It also enables our company to observe on what all remote workers work. At this moment, this is unworthy. It also allows us to make what we need and who has time to do it a priority.
  • It's a very good software for tracking the screen time and software utilized in a day. It records all the time and provides the report of usage. It helps in planning of software needed to install and manage the timing of the staff as well.
  • This is an all-in-one computer monitoring system that has paid for itself since it has been implemented. The software allows my employees to better track their time without having to be obsessed with it. It also allows our organization to see what all the remote workers are working on. This is invaluable at this time. It also helps us to prioritize what we need to work on, and who has time to do it.
  • DeskTime has made very easy process of work from home. we can monitor all the basic think through Desktime. It also shows software/application wise time spend details.
  • It is the most user friendly monitoring tool and there is an option to not track the browser and it is visible to the user so they know you are not hiding something from them.
  • What I really liked about Desktime was the real-time (or at least almost real-time) dashboard of who was online or who wasn't (compared to other software that I tried). Also the auto logging in is a good feature that's also not available on other platforms. There's some cool stuff like a team resource area where you can see all the people in your org and that's helpful if you don't have a central area to put up that information. Also, the productive monitor is probably the best so far out of all the platforms I've tried. It lets you know who's doing questionable things and takes screenshots so you can remediate ASAP. It's also the least expensive option with tiered discounts for higher volume of seats which is a nice bonus.
  • DeskTime has been very helpful with tracking employee's productivity and actually increasing productivity, since our employees know that their activity is being tracked. It is very easy to use and being able to integrate Trello to create projects is a big plus.
  • This tool is great and is pretty accurate when it comes to verifying idle time. I also like the ability to see machine names of servers acceded using RPD client. Simply hover over any application used and you can see more details for each application.
  • A feature I like and find useful are the screenshots. It has been beneficial to go back for review and find information that was not thought of to be important at the time and was not saved or documented. The screenshots give a clear and accurate of overlooked information. It's great and convenient.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Easy to use: Harvest is a very easy-to-use time tracking and invoicing software. The interface is clean and intuitive, and the features are easy to find and use. Integrations: Harvest integrates with a variety of other applications, which makes it easy to track your time and expenses across multiple systems. Customer support: Harvest offers excellent customer support. You can get help through email, chat, or phone support.
  • This program provides us with time management operations of our employees at the time of starting and finishing work. It has digital time sheets that will determine the time they should take in their management and offers graphical packages that detail the time spent by employees to keep an accounting in billing and payments. Despite its flaws, which in general terms are minimal, it is a good tool to account for accurate payroll payments based on our employees in order to be fair with them. It also has an acceptable extension that allows us to use the program on mobile devices, computers or browsers.
  • The ability to click 'start timer' and end it is one of the sweetest UIs for time tracking I've seen. The warm color palette really makes it welcoming, too. And you can always go back and add time if you forgot to set it with the timer, as well as add a description for what you were doing at each time.
  • Harvest is a reliable and trusted platform for tracking times and activities of employees. The reports are very informative. Great automation. Easy and reliable platform.
  • Harvest easily create an invoice, send it to our customers and get payment done online. Nice interface and user-friendly. Directly tracked from our favourite tool like Trello, Basecamp and Asana. The best part is it allows us to track time towards projects and tasks. Fully customisable and configurable. Reliable and secure software.

Cons

  • No desktop app: Harvest does not have a desktop app. You can only use it through a web browser. Limited project management features: Harvest does not have all of the features of a full-featured project management tool. For example, it does not have Gantt charts or kanban boards.
  • Although Harvest manages the working time spent by our collaborators, it presents failures in real-time reports, it only provides reports at the end of the working day on a daily or monthly basis. In addition, it does not present a section of activities panel to be configured with the time that each collaborator will take.
  • I feel like the default should open to the current day's time entry interface, but as it is, it's just one click away (big bright green plus sign button on the left).
  • It worked great for me. Nothing to share about cons.
  • Efficient time tracking software. Easy to use. No dislikes.
