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

  • Good enough experience for the core product; does the job properly - so can't complain about any of that
  • It is simple to track time or hours spent by employees when working using Hubstaff. Again, it is simple to generate payrolls or rather pay employees using accurate time tracking data. It a reliable tool for employees attendance and leave leave management.
  • Hubstaff is really easy to use and user friendly software, definitely easy to navigate. I also love the productivity features, including the badges and the productivity percentages. I've used other software in the same niche and nonetheless other ones are not so stable and user friendly.
  • It tracks every activity of the employee that happened on their computer. Helps to improve productivity in remote employees. Also, I can track the time spent on projects. Without admin permission, it can't be disabled. Lightweight and doesn't slow down the computer.
  • Tracking capabilities, flexible price setting based on projects, very quick support response times, unlimited project viewers at no cost.
  • I like the simplicity of Hubstaff's usage. I also like that it works both on PCs and Mac. Additionally, it gives good value for its price. And most of all, I like how the company is improving the product and adding more and more features to it.
  • 1. Easy to use 2. Saves time 3. Increase productivity 4. Value for money This is why i like Hubstaff.
  • Great way to track teams hours, deal with expenses and get a good overview of what is happening in your business. I would highly recommend this service.
  • -Very robust features, even with the free version -Easily switch my timer from one task to the other as I need to jump from project to project throughout the day -Can track in the system what rate I'm charging each client (no more searching old emails to see agreed-upon rates) -Very easy to run reports and filter what I need -Lets me create a huge number of projects and easily archive the ones I no longer need
  • - Easy integration onto your computer - Makes tracking hours and productivity seamless - Simple to track pay for each employee - Interface is easy to use and easy to change if need be
