Employee monitoring and productivity tracking has always been a great tool especially during covid and the work from home era. The scheduling feature is also very user friendly.

Wish the scheduling was more built out, with text notifications for employees or a actual schedule app to be able to use for the everyday employee.

We are monitoring our employees productivity

Time Doctor

Vorteile

Es un software de fácil uso que nos permite en la empresa conocer la efectividad de nuestro empleados en cuanto a las horas invertidas en las tareas diarias de la jornada laboral. Mas que todo para esas actividades realizadas en teletrabajo.

Nachteile

Hasta ahora no encontramos inconformidad al usarlo, tal vez mas funciones a nivel del movil.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and understand for admin as well as users.

Nachteile

There is every feature available as per need. Over all its best

Vorteile

I am really thankful to Desktime to providing that great tool to tack the employee's activity.

Nachteile

Desktime needs to be work on the Costing or discount part also.

Vorteile

Desktime are very helpful for our organisation to track and monitor our employees in-time,out-time,screen shots of their systems,browsing URL and time of spending each websites and attendance tracking.

Nachteile

Based on our usage and monitor our employees desktime fulfil our requirements and satisfied our needs.

Vorteile

Desktime are very useful to monitor our employees work and track web browsing url's. Screenshots are very useful for what users doing in their systems.

Nachteile

Based on usage in our company its satisfied all of our requirements.We are not find least about Desktime.

Vorteile

The interface is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it easy for managers to monitor employee work hours and progress on projects. The app also has a variety of features, such as automatic screenshots and website/app tracking, that provide a detailed look into how employees are spending their time.

Nachteile

inaccuracies in tracking or difficulty with the website/app tracking feature. There is also no free version. It is a premium service.

Vorteile

Time tracking, billing, ideal time, productive time, activity tracking - as HR Head these features have helped me a lot to monitor my employees' work. The best part is integration, also we don't really have to log in, we simply have desk time running in the background, so no more reminding employees to fill in their timesheets.

Nachteile

If this could have helped us in Project Management, assigning tasks, checking their task completion, mentioning other EOD reports, etc, this software would have been more helpful to me. An added advantage would be reminders for tasks or other functions related to my department especially.

Vorteile

DeskTime is easily accessed on multiple devices if you have several or want to use a smartphone app. Install time is minimal, and web access makes it accessible 24/7 from anywhere. Great for AOP and budgeting appropriately for future impactful change in the business unit. Allows better coverage for absences of all types.

Nachteile

There is little to dislike. However, gaps in work time should be easier to manage. Working with end-users and walking away or having walk-in unexpected visitors create various gaps. Maybe if you could highlight several gaps at a time to change to all 'not idle'/productive, it would alleviate the redundancy of changing them one by one so you can label the event with 'meeting' or walk-in, etc.

Vorteile

Mobile time tracking is the best feature of Desktime. I can easily access the data using my mobile or laptop and it's always reliable and accurate. It makes my work-life easy.

Nachteile

There is no problem with Desktime. Every feature works perfectly and time tracking is very easy.

Vorteile

Like I said in the title, it is a Great Tool for Management, Supervisors, and Business Owners, and lets them know the daily activity of their staff and teams. It also help allow them to delegate tasks to their teams and figure out changes that need to be made, to make the business operations run smoother.

Nachteile

Some features are very rigid. Mainly the task timer. If you are logging a task where you are away from your desk, the timer will stop tracking/logging the time maybe 3 minutes into the computer being idle and when the employee returns to their desk, it logs the tail end of the task, so we have to manually adjust the time for the gap of time that wasn't logged.

Trello

Gründe für den Wechsel zu DeskTime

This program was a much better fit for what we needed it for.

Vorteile

I personally enjoy having my activities organized by time of use and the ability that the program has of also displaying in which window or document you have worked on; it helps me on my end of day summary because I remember the tasks even when I finished them early in the morning.

Nachteile

The automatic feature to start DeskTime when Windows boots is not 100% reliable and, in my type of environment where productivity is our main goal, it hurts my numbers. The only other downside I have experienced is during power outages, the app would either stop tracking my time or would mark my activity as neutral. Nothing critical and does not detract the reliability of the program in my opinion.

Vorteile

Desk time is very user-friendly as a tool - for both the admin and the user. The good thing is that it tracks every small thing every single day, which helps to keep team members accountable in a remote work setting. It also eliminates the need to have a separate process for attendance.

Nachteile

I don't particularly appreciate that it does not track time while someone is simply reading. It would be awesome to have a feature that can do that in the future.There is a feature to add idle time - to fill it in if the time was not getting tracked or if the team member forgot to log in. But, that either has to be a separate color or a pop-up above it - or an indicator that can show if some member has filled in the idle time from the setting.

Vorteile

Easy to use
Easy to understand
Friendly interface

Nachteile

The administrator should not pay for the account
The design of the platform is old, need to be upgrade to the design trends
Not so many features
Print screen of the employees needs to have better quality, if the space is the problem, it should have a feature to connect a Cloud storage account in order to pay separately for how much print screen quality do you need.
It should me more flexible. Ex. Print screen time should not be only 3-5 min. It my choice not a product manager choice what is important for my business or not.
Alerts for employees that they have overdue the brake time
and many others.

Vorteile

Ease of access especially for us HR to monitor every employee even though they are in remote areas in the world.

Nachteile

In my experience, I haven't experience any hiccups with Desktime, maybe all I can say is its price but in that case, it is very justifiable considering the system and reports it generates.

Vorteile

The Time Tracking is a big plus. We also really like the project feature.

Nachteile

I think that the integrations are great, but can be worked on. For example, with the Trello Integration, it does sync with DeskTime at a really good interval, however, if we delete or edit a task or project in Trello, it does not edit and/ or delete the task or project in DeskTime. Editing the times that employees log is a little cumbersome as an administrator. I should be able to edit or delete extra time that was logged incorrectly. Also we have had issues with projects being archived. If the amount of time between when a project has been logged could be extended, that would be great.

Vorteile

Snapshot feature has been absolutely an essential staple during our WFH period due to Covid. Along with productivity monitoring, our leads were able to clarify a better understanding of what our employees are completing throughout the days. Very much have utilized this feature, and has been very helpful to our teams productivity overall.

Nachteile

The idle time tracker. Simply holding a key down on your keyboard for long periods of time can be tracked as "productive" time and is not the best way of monitoring idle time for employees. However, cross referencing this with the snapshot feature has been a key stable in eliminating this type of behavior.

Vorteile

It's launching automatically, and we can easy access to user efficiency data.

Nachteile

At the beginning Users need to be really careful when they are login - usually thy are making it's own Desktime, and in this case Employ data is not coming out Desktime company profile.

Vorteile

It really helps me to understand did I work 8 hours today and was I not wasting time on Facebook or other things.
I like the green design. It makes me tune in positive and productive.

Nachteile

I would like an extended possibility to add programms, headers, meetings from outlook automatically to projects. So like marking apps as productive or unproductive, there might be option to mark them as belonging to specific project.
And I would also like to have a slightly cheaper plan as even though I belong to a company I have installed and pay for this alone and use it for my home office purpose only.

Clockify

Gründe für den Wechsel zu DeskTime

I liked the design, the ease of marking applications productive or unproductive, great statistics. And the adding timeslots to projects. And also I know it comes from Latvia, so a little patriotic and pride :)

Vorteile

No special setup is required. That's it.

It provides some additional features, but it is a cost that is reluctant to incur additional costs.
Even now, it seems expensive for its features. Among the exercise apps, STRAVA makes an effort to communicate with various data and customers.
Change the design you want to buy with more beautiful and effective data and features. Arouse curiosity.

Nachteile

I want you to think about UI design and color selection for the same programs.
Green has a lot of nice coverage too. Otherwise, the current green color may decrease the value of Desktime. The overall homepage interface and S/W UI need to be improved.

I want it to look plausible when I introduce it to others.
The charts are also not that professional.
Today's productivity week, month can be selected, but the data that accumulates
Don't have an idea to show your users effectively?

Vorteile

Time tracking - people can work from home and company is not affected from it. Employees are not disturbed.

Nachteile

It does not seem to work with Safari multiple other browsers therefore making web-page tracking (productive/unproductive) almost useless as most of the people use Mac computers today.

Vorteile

Employee and time tracking are extremely useful. It's fully customizable to the point of allowing a group of employees the use of social media (for example the marketing department) and not applying the same rule to the rest of the teams. We trust our billing to Desktime reported times.

Nachteile

Can't think of any until this point. We have been using it for quite a few years now.

Vorteile

Time tracking without thinking.

Nachteile

I really wish it would track minutes in unites of 100, like time has to be submitted for payroll. The hour time is not a factor but the minutes, it is always 38 min x .60 to get time to submit. Or if not doing the actual math, it is looking it up on a conversion chart. Just give me an option to track it how I need it to.

Vorteile

Monitoring, ScreenCapture, Time Recording, URL's observed

Nachteile

not completely automated should reduce feature of activity view to their team member

Vorteile

The graphs and the summary stats. It is clear. If anything, I would add even more stats.

Nachteile

Maybe there is room for some basic analyses on how you are able to focus or what you need to chill. I think that it could also work as a "blocker", as it serves similar needs.Whenever you want to see a page you have previously banned, it should block you. Then it would be not just a time tracker, but a productivity tool.

Vorteile

Time tracking, activity tracking, screenshots, employee monitoring. project and task wise time tracking.

Nachteile

absent, leave, and holiday features are not adequately implemented. I would also like to use this software for attendance, but it's not possible.

Vorteile

Desktime is easy to use. It's easy to onboard new people, assign them to teams, and track usage. The dashboard is sleek, informative, and easy to read. I like that we're able to see at a glance what all team members are doing at any moment in time. The implementation for new hires is very quick, just a name, an email, and a team to assign them to is all that's necessary. I do like the reporting structure; I can see what sites someone is visiting and code them appropriately (productive, not productive, or neutral).

Nachteile

It is a pricy system. I haven't compared to other time tracking software, but for us (a company with 35 tracked employees), it's fairly expensive. There have been several issues lately with their reporting of proper time worked/productivity, which took awhile to resolve. Another major issue is that reporting is vast, but difficult to pull what you need. For instance, I have hybrid employees and it is a major hassle to extract the data based on remote or in-office days.

Vorteile

Desktime is super easy to deploy and simple to set up.The simplicity of the application makes it easy for employers to know that their remote workforce is productive.Desktime also allows employees wo put in extra effort to get recognized without having to speak up.

Nachteile

Some employees have figured out innovative solutions to appear online / active while not actually working.

Vorteile

Time tracking - This is the most critical aspect of the tool. We use Desktime to pull the reports for time management. From time taken to complete any project to monitoring the efficiency and productivity of each and every employee. Helps to save a lot of time.

Nachteile

None as of now. most of the features are really helpful.

Zoho CRM

Gründe für den Wechsel zu DeskTime

Lack of effective time reporting and complexities involved

Vorteile

I love the dashboard, both for admin use and for the employee view. There is much good information to see at a glance. The reports/exports are also very useful.

Nachteile

I would love to see a task management system (including daily/weekly recurring tasks) be implemented in DeskTime instead of having to use an external program.

Vorteile

The screen monitoring along with the file name and detailed information it enables us to study and analyse the employee working pattern and behaviour and that helped us in improving their productivity and potential.

Nachteile

It shows green color in case if the user is online and he/she has not set the profile photo but it's difficult to find out the online status when the user is having the profile photo. It allows us to send the message across all employees but we cant send a message to a group or specific user.

Vorteile

I love that it tracks all of the applications, online sites, and even has the ability to take snapshots. I love that I can toggle a social media site from unproductive to productive or vice-versa if managing those items is part of my responsibilities.

Nachteile

I haven't tried rolling out to others yet, so I'm not sure what reporting and analytics I can get on the rest of my team, but I really do value the information I've gathered about my own habits and unknown "time-wasters."

Vorteile

Attendance and productivity are typically managed by managers along with HR but processes are usually manual and takes a lot of time. This allowed management and HR to have a tool to monitor and inspect productivity and attendance more effectively.

Nachteile

Just that the screenshots are not as often captured as i'd like on the operations level.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu DeskTime

Desktime had more customizable features and ease of use. Also value for the money.

Vorteile

* Easy to implement
* Easy to maintain
* Interface is very good and the way data is displayed is excellent
* Automated screenshots every 3 mins is a very good feature

Nachteile

* Email Notifications need to be customizable
* Notification for when a user is idle for more than a set time is a must for large organizations
* And more testing before releasing new updates as I have experienced issues with screenshots previously.

Vorteile

We use Desktime which seamlessly integrates with Basecamp our Project Management Software. This easily allows us to keep track of where our time is allocated and increase productivity. It is very easy for our team to use. I love the "screenshot" feature.

Nachteile

I do not like how all the team members can see all the projects.

Vorteile

Time Tracking and activity monitoring in real time

Nachteile

Needs to add TFS / Git Repository project and task integration with time tracking

Vorteile

apart from the obvious tracking and monitoring of the teams, I have found desk time to be very helpful in managing my work life balance. Reminds me to take a break, stand up and stitch and drink some water etc. This sounds simple and obvious but sometimes you lose track of time and so these small reminders really help you relax and re-focus which makes you more productive!

Nachteile

The fact that screenshots are taken in the background - that is not very security smart

Vorteile

Ability to monitor team in a single window. Knowing productive time vs desktime. Gives me peace of mind knowing i am enabled. Trust does mean I am incapable of monitoring, so I have to Trust. Trust means I am capable of monitoring and I trust. The capability factor is facilitated by desktime.

Nachteile

The team can uninstall or disable the software. I need to control that esp. if office systems are used. I feel that number of screen captures for the configuration do not match, but it does not impact me so much.

Vorteile

Real-time monitoring allows you to monitor the work in your employees' screens live, this feature was rarely available on other EMS software which made us try Desktime. Also it has a really cool feature to monitor the document title which can help you ascertain the writer's efficiency if you're in the publishing space.

Nachteile

I don't know why by Desktime doesn't provide GPS tracking. Its an essential security feature to confirm credentials specially while dealing with big data.

Vorteile

Love the fact that it captures everything I do on the computer. Even if I forget to track work on a certain project, I can always retrace my steps and assign the minutes/hours manually.

The productive/unproductive categorization is very beneficial to have a bird's-eye view of my activity.

I've used it in parallel with Toggl for a long time and Desktime was superior on so many levels.

Nachteile

I haven't yet found things I don't like about it.

Vorteile

Automatic time tracking & reports are the best features in my opinion. It saves a lot of time at the end of the month & also helps my self to review my performance from time to time. Setting up & using the system is like child's play

Nachteile

Offline data is lost if the system is restarted before the connectivity is established. I work for a project in west African country where the connectivity is unpredictable. This makes it a bit difficult when I travel to the site & I have to be mindful to not to restart the laptop during downtime.

Vorteile

Time Tracking, Idle time monitoring, tab list, screenshots and many more.

Nachteile

Once time has been deleted then there is no way to recover it back.
Sometimes it becomes difficult to navigate and look for information. More UX is required in web app.

Vorteile

The product is easy to administrate, implement, and monitor. Classification and department groupings are easy to manage and granularly control.

Nachteile

The easy subversion of idle tracking and app activity reporting makes this a less useful tool when dealing with non-compliant employees. Though we realize this is a personnel issue at the root, we'd appreciate if this was made harder by the product development team.

Vorteile

Very good with real time tracking. But can improve further to capture productive time more accuractely.

Nachteile

if i am on team call (via microsoft Teams or Zoom) and the other person on the call is talking and if i am just listening the time doesn't get tracked as productive time. This is a problem. So time is getting under recorded.

Vorteile

helps with billing, monitoring efficiency of team members, and employee compensation.

Nachteile

not all features are available on the phone app.

Vorteile

What I like most about Desktime is it's easily accessible to everyone. Data generation is efficient and easily generated. Easy to track employees time and activity records.

Nachteile

I actually don't have anything against desktime. However, I'd like Desktime to also provide a bar or banner for hours rendered in Neutral apps and not just a list of neutral apps. That would greatly help us since those banners are the top are what we usually view.

Vorteile

I love being able to monitor the idle time and the shared schedules to see when someone is absent/in office/ or remote.

Nachteile

It is a little confusing have team members listed in 2 different areas. One you can edit, the other one you can't. The set-up was a trial and error issue. The mobile time we turned off as it doesn't actually monitor anything. It just says they are productively working from their phone.

Vorteile

Transparency, Flexibility (being able to set which sites are productive/unproductive), screenshots. Ranking on staff who is most efficient and productive.

Nachteile

Quite expensive if you only need for short period.
