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

  • Connects with ASANA. Play button easy to use. Great dashboard for reviewing time tracked. Good customer support.
  • This tracker is so flexible, and the integration with Remember the Milk is critical. It is easy to use both in the mobile and desktop versions.
  • This a great Time Tracking app that helps me keep of track of what I'm working on across different clients. You really can't beat the price and there are some nice integrations, I use the Smartsheet integration specifically which is great.
  • the data hierarchy has just the right amount of detail. exportable in several formats. allows multiple users. I can start tasks from existing tasks. the support is responsive and great. This company is big enough to get the job done but small enough to listen to each user's feedback.

Cons

  • Still young - more features and improvements to come I hope!
  • Sometimes the wrong time entry will start running the time again, and rarely there will be duplicate entries. In addition, the Remember the Milk list will not properly translate into a TrackingTime project.
  • Occasionally there are bugs and the interface changes pretty regularly which can get confusing to find stuff. Some of the other features I would like to start using aren't quick to figure out so I'm not getting as much use out of the platform as I could and would like to.
  • The design of the app has a few small things I would change. But nothing major or anything that prevents efficient use.
