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

  • As a professional working in a fast-paced environment, I have found Timely to be an indispensable tool for managing my time and projects. The platform's sleek and intuitive user interface makes it easy to use, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. What's more, Timely integrates with various web and desktop apps, such as Google Calendar, Outlook, Zoom, Slack, Trello, and more, which has made it an indispensable part of my workflow. One of the things I appreciate most about Timely is its automatic time tracking feature. This platform tracks all the time I spend on different tasks and activities using its memory feature, so I don't have to worry about forgetting or losing billable hours. It records everything I do on my computer and phone, like documents, meetings, emails, websites, and video calls, and it even tracks my GPS location when I'm on the go. With Timely, I can manage my projects and budgets effectively using its dashboard and reports. I can create projects, assign tasks, set hourly rates, and track progress and profitability in real-time. The platform makes it easy to see how much time I spend on different clients, projects, tasks, and activities, and it generates ready-to-use reports that I can easily download or share with my clients. Timely is designed with privacy and security in mind. It only records my time for my own use and does not share it with anyone else. I appreciate that I can control what data I want to record and what data I want to delete. Timely also encrypts all my data and stores it safely in the cloud, so I can rest assured that my information is protected. Another feature that has been particularly useful for me is the mobile app, which syncs seamlessly with the web app. This means that I can track my time and manage my projects on the go, even when I'm away from my desk.
  • Timely is an excellent service to control the work time of each employee and achieve proper time management for each working day of a group of employees. One of the first things I liked about this platform is that it has a silent mode. which works wonderfully within each computer, this silent mode allows us to constantly monitor all our employees without them noticing, I am in silent mode it helps us a lot since it does not cause our employees to feel uncomfortable because we are monitoring ourselves all day, since this platform does not throw any type of alert or any notification that causes our employees to know that we are monitoring them, I love this silent mode to be able to monitor and control the Activity of employees on company computers. Another thing I like about this platform is that it has an automated system to detect overtime and work hours, this platform is capable of accounting for each hour of work that has been done by each employee, and if the employee has If you have been working overtime, the platform will automatically detect those overtime and record it in the system, this allows the overtime to be separated in the work time details or work reports. I also like that this platform is able to detect all the web pages that have been visited by our employees, this web activity detection function helps us a lot since we can control the pages that are visited by our employees and we can also control that our employees Don't spend too much time on distracting websites during each workday.
  • Timely is an essential platform for the general operation of metro company, since thanks to this platform we can measure the work time of our employees, as well as the time they spend completing various activities that are assigned to each employee or each work team. This platform contains very complete tools to develop a correct measurement of work time, in addition, it helps us to calculate the extra work time of each employee. Next, the positive things that this platform has would help me. 1.- One of the main things that I like about this platform is the system to measure time, since this system is capable of measuring time accurately, it is also capable of measuring the time that an employee remains inactive within of a computer, that helps a lot since it allows us to know their attitude, how long they have been working on the computer in the office, and how long they have been on break. I also love this feature mainly because it works in real time, I can have a real-time monitoring of the work time that each employee has on a specific day, it allows me to have a broad view of the time that each employee has had at work individually. 2.- The second thing that I liked about this platform is that it is capable of storing all this data within a fully accessible database and a database that remains active for a long time, that means that it is capable of store all this data for as long as necessary, For example, currently, I can check the work time that I have had a specific fight within a month of the year, this database function helps me a lot to be able to check the work time of each employee for a specific date or for a specific period of the year. I really love the fact that I can store all the information within the platform, since I don't have to store it within my computer or within a cloud service. 3.- The third thing that I liked about this platform is that we can configure a specific working time for an employee, after the working time is calculated and counted by the platform, the additional time will be counted as hours extras, this system performs this counting in an automated way, so if an employee continues to work after finishing his work day, all these data were accounted for within the platform and will be stored in the database, we can have access to that information immediately every day. 4.- The fourth thing that I like about this platform is that each employee can manage the activities that they are developing every day, that is why we have installed this platform inside all the computers of the various offices of our company, so that each employee You can choose what activity they are carrying out, and you can also choose when this activity has been completed, so that this data is collected by the platform and we can access it when we study the time worked. That you are very important since it allows us to know very much about how much time each employee invested to complete each assigned activity. 5.- The fifth thing that I have loved about this platform is its excellent operation within mobile devices, mainly to have real-time monitoring, as I previously mentioned the computer version and quite functional and allows you full access to monitoring of working time, the version for mobile devices is much better, since it provides you with a much more convenient and compact view, you can individually view the working time for each employee, you can also view in general the working time of each specific team. This quite complete application gives you access to all the work information of your employees and allows you to monitor each one of them regardless of whether they are using a computer.
  • Timely has become our number one system to have a correct administration of work time and the time that each employee dedicates to a specific application, with the help of this platform we have had a preview and monitoring of the amount of things that our employees do. employees in their industry. I really liked that this platform is capable of keeping a very accurate monitoring and count for the work time of each of the employees simultaneously, it is only enough to register the number of employees and each of the computers they use for their work. office, the application will be able to monitor and account for the work time, break time and overtime of each of the employees who are using the computer, it is fantastic how this platform is capable of accounting for several employees simultaneously. I also liked that this platform has a silent mode, which helps a lot when installing this system inside our employees' computers, since there are none now that we are monitoring it and we are monitoring the activity inside the computer. Finally, I liked that this platform is also capable of sending all kinds of alerts when a specific employee's work hour or work day is combined.
  • Timely is an excellent option to consider if you are in need of software to control the work time of each of your employees, this software will also provide you with a tool to measure the time an employee remains within a specific application or website. The things I liked the most were: - With the help of this platform you can integrate it with a payroll payment system, so that all the work time that has been monitored can be transferred to a payroll payment corresponding to the employee. For example, if this application has measured how many total hours an employee has worked, it automatically transfers this information thanks to the integration and makes the corresponding payroll payment. - This platform also sends alerts within the employee's computer and linked devices, so that this application notifies when each employee's work hour has started, to avoid all kinds of delays. - Another thing that I like about this working time monitoring platform is that you can install it on your mobile device, these mobile applications can provide accurate information and the real time of each employee's working time, you can do everything this monitoring through your cell phone. - I also love the notification system when it works to notify me when an employee has not attended his work day, because this platform monitors the work time of each employee, sends alerts and media back to the corresponding account so that we can be attentive and some employee has not appeared.

Cons

  • While Timely has many advantages, there are also some disadvantages to using this platform. One of the most significant drawbacks is the cost. Compared to other time tracking software, Timely is quite expensive. Its pricing plans range from 9 USD to 22 USD per user per month, which may be prohibitive for small businesses or freelancers. Even the Premium plan, which is more reasonably priced, still lacks some advanced features like project planning and team management. Another issue with Timely is that it can sometimes overlook or misinterpret certain activities or events. For example, it may not recognize if you extend a meeting beyond the scheduled time or change the name of a document you're working on. Additionally, some activities may be grouped into a generic category like Microsoft Outlook or Google Chrome instead of showing the specific email or website you were working on. This can lead to inaccuracies in your time tracking data, which may require manual review and editing. Timely also has limited native integrations with popular tools like HubSpot, Smartsheet, or QuickBooks. This means that you may need to rely on third-party integrations or manual data entry to sync your time data with these tools. This can be time-consuming and error-prone, which can be a frustrating experience for users. While Timely is an excellent platform for time tracking and project management, it is not without its drawbacks. Its pricing plans may be too expensive for some users, and its time tracking accuracy can be compromised at times. Additionally, its limited integrations with popular tools can be a hindrance to seamless workflow. However, despite these disadvantages, Timely remains a powerful tool for professionals who require accurate time tracking and effective project management.
  • One of the main negative things about this platform is that they do not have a reminder system to notify us when an employee has completed an activity at the correct time, in addition, they do not have any alert system to notify us when an employee threatens their day labor, if we want to check if the working day of an employee completed correctly, we have to check it manually through the main panel of the platform, since there is no automated system that sends us notifications when this happens. The second negative feature of this platform is that the iPhone version does not have all the features or functions available, since detailed reports cannot be obtained within this application, reports can only be obtained via the desktop version. The third negative thing about this platform is with respect to the high prices it manages for each of its plans, it is a very beneficial platform but at the same time it is too expensive to compare with its competition.
  • Timely is a service that has behaved to measure, the vast majority of functionalities provided by this platform have allowed us to have complete access to the monitoring and administration of each employee's work time, however, we have also perceived some negative things which we will mention below. 1.- Although this platform is capable of offering us a complete detail of the amount of working time for each employee, there is currently no type of function to allow us to view the web pages that other employees visit during their working day is, this is a really negative factor since we are very interested in knowing with that attitude what page is being used by employees during each working day. In addition, this would help us realize if an employee is getting too distracted on a social network or a specific page, so we really need this function to be implemented as soon as possible within the platform. 2.- Another of the main negative things that this platform has is the way it works during the free version, now Twitter is too limited for new users, since you cannot monitor more than five employees simultaneously, in addition, neither you can import this data collected from working time to some other Network synchronized to the platform, therefore, I consider that this free version is too limited and does not allow new users to access the vast majority of important functions of this platform. I fully demand that this version be much broader in terms of the limits it has. 3.- This system is capable of correctly counting the working hours and overtime of each employee, however, it currently does not have any system to notify us when an employee has not shown up for their work day. We consider this function to be relatively important for us, since we are very interested in our employees showing up at the corresponding offices every day, so if we want to confirm that an employee has shown up, we have to manually view them within the platform. , there we will realize in real time how long he has been working each day, however, we need a system that notifies us when an employee has missed his work day.
  • The main problem that is faced when using this platform is that there is no way to export the data obtained within the time monitoring of each of the employees, you cannot export the data and send it directly to a storage system, It is important to highlight that the general reports individually, each employee will have a report of the number of hours worked, it would be excellent to be able to export all this information to a storage system, and not have to do it manually, since it is a bit tedious. Another problem that I was not close to this platform is that it is not capable of accounting for the time that each employee spends within a specific website, if it is capable of monitoring the activity within the computer, it is capable of monitoring and telling us the number of applications that each employee uses on the computer during their working day, as well as the relevant information of the pages visited, but it does not tell us how much time each employee has spent within a specific website, this function is really necessary to be implement as soon as possible.
  • I never really had any problems with this platform, since I started using it I have noticed that it has helped me a lot when it comes to measuring the work time of my employees, this platform has never given me any kind of failure, I am totally satisfied with all the results obtained so far, I am also satisfied with the support team that has been able to answer each of my questions at all times, the support team of this platform has been quite excellent and has been quite capable of helping me Solve any type of doubt within the platform. I am very satisfied in general with the platform, it has behaved wonderfully, both for computers and the version for mobile devices.
