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

  • It has a powerful scheduling feature that allows managers to create and assign shifts or jobs to employees, see who is working at a glance, send reminders or notifications, and easily handle changes or conflicts. Employees can also view their schedules on their devices and trade shifts with coworkers if necessary. QuickBooks Time has an easy-to-use interface that makes it easy for employees to track their time, switch between projects or clients, add notes, and request time off. It also has features like GPS tracking, geofencing, overtime alerts, lunch and break breaks, crew functionality, and who's working window that helps managers monitor and manage their workforce in real time. It connects seamlessly with QuickBooks Online (and its other tools) as well as other accounting-related platforms, such as popular tools like Sage Intacct, Gusto Payroll, etc. This being because information such as billable hours, job costing (including labor costs), reports (including profitability analysis), etc. can be interconnected. without errors and without having to perform manual data entry. The free plan works great for single user or small businesses with unlimited projects, as well as affordable premium plans starting at $8 per user per month, which I consider to be one of the cheapest plans compared to competitors. Premium plans include more features like project tracking (with estimates vs. actuals), timesheet approvals (with audit trail), custom fields (for additional information), advanced reporting (with filters and export options) , etc. I consider the Elite plan to offer good tools, this being the most complete for me when it comes to managing the time of a large number of staff and thus having less control over work schedules. It offers a good experience regarding unlimited free phone, email and chat support to all customers, as well as online resources such as webinars, tutorials, videos, FAQs, blog posts, etc. That they can help any user to be able to better complement themselves with the correct management of this platform in order to have good time management within working hours.
  • * Time entries within this platform can be done very quickly and detail as much as possible, you can also leave notes of the records for when someone wants to evaluate the entries made, making this much more practical and efficient when keeping time of the staff of any company. In addition, this platform has a section where you can see in graphs how time has been used during working hours, you can also see when you have been in the office or in other places. It is also possible to have an average of the places visited, this has been useful in the event that if the person does field work, it can be known if he or she frequently goes to places where time can be wasted doing this, so that the hours worked can be validated or also look for solutions in case the trips from one point to another take longer than normal. * The real phone application is very practical to register time more easily and it is not very difficult to use, so I find this tool very good so that the records of the hours of income and expenses do not have to be kept forever. In addition, it has the necessary features of the web version with which I can do easy employee time management, so I don't have so many overwhelming features inside my device, but just use the essential ones to make work more convenient. It just helps a lot both in facilitating timetable entries and also in keeping track of work that has been done remotely, keeping track of employees and their hours spent at work. * It is easy to be able to configure GPS tracking since this allows to have a certification of the hours registered by each employee to a certain extent. Likewise, with this record, it is not only possible to know if the employee is in the office, but also if it is a field job, it will also keep a record to be able to validate the hours of work performed and recorded by the employee. * The generation of reports is very detailed, it provides all useful information from all the records made from the first day of use, thus also being able to see the performance of each employee to facilitate. It is also very personalized, and I like it that way because I can have detailed and more specific reports of the hours used within my working hours.
  • We originally used QuickBooks Time when it was still TSheets. Until that point we had been using a different system which did not integrate with our QuickBooks payroll system. Adding this timekeeping software was a game changer! It is easy to use and integrates seamlessly with QuickBooks Payroll. It has cut payroll processing times from 3 days to a few hours as we no longer need to manually check and calculate everyone's hours. Plus, it has a mobile app which means our people in the field can still use the timeclock. In the office, people clock in/out using a tablet which we then use as a register during a fire evacuation event.
  • Very easy to use program. CS department is very helpful and responsive.
  • Easy drag and drop calendar. Two-way communication with field techs. Very stable when scheduling weeks out. Pricing is very cheap.

Cons

  • When there are internet connection problems, both the check-in and check-out times may not be synchronized well, so in some cases there may be problems in the work environment due to this event, especially when the mobile application is being used. these problems occur. I hope this issue will be corrected very soon because it is exhausting to have to manually correct tickets that were not registered correctly or missing hours that you have within this platform. The performance of the web platform is not freed from the errors that this platform usually has, so on some occasions it will have blockages or something does not work, having to refresh the website at all times having to interrupt certain things so that they can be can use normally. I hope that with the soon updates QuickBooks can correct the performance problems so that the usability and functionality are correct and there are no errors in the process. It requires prior training, especially for people who are not familiar with this type of technological platform. The training may not take much time, but it is necessary to have a better follow-up of work time. So offer employees good training so that they have good productivity with this platform and that it can be handled correctly.
  • * The interface is not the most adapted to the work that Quickbooks really does, by this I mean that it is practically the same as when this platform was Tsheets. I don't want to say that it works badly or something similar, but that it has not captured the essence of the other QuickBooks products by not making it as intuitive for the simple fact that its development was thought with the UX of another company, therefore, I hope that they continue to improve and update it so that it is simpler to use and has that ease that other QuickBooks products have been carrying. * Integrations to other QuickBooks products such as QuickBooks online are not very complete. As I mentioned earlier since this platform was originally Tsheets and it was not intended to fully integrate with this platform, so there is a long way to go for the integrations of this platform to the other QuickBooks to take effect in order to have a clean integration without even have the use of APIs. This would also solve many errors that occur daily with this platform, such as synchronizing customer accounts, which happen to be duplicated on several occasions, causing updates to be made on one side of this platform, but on the other side of QuickBooks online. are not done, making this the troublesome and tedious job of repairing. * Another problem I had with the switch from TSheets to QuickBooks Time is that the support got lousy, they take too long to respond, and they don't always have trained staff to offer the best business solutions, you pretty much have to come up with solutions on your own because technical support of this platform is unprofessional. Customer service was much better before the purchase of QuickBooks so now it is no longer reliable to look for reliable solutions or answers from this platform by customer service.
  • If I had to change anything, the cost per employee is a bit steep at $4/EE plus a base charge, but otherwise everything else is fine.
  • Would like more simple instructions.
  • Sometimes its will glitch and go off line. However, support was able to rectify quickly.
