ActivTrak – Bewertungsseite 3

Vorteile

The ease of use. The capability of holding so much memory. This program has literally saved a company. Making confronting the other owner who controls the books easier. There is always someone to answer your questions in a reasonable amount of time to.

Nachteile

Can't say I have a complaint. Program ,even free has been amazing.

Vorteile

Easy to start and install, easy to navigate and everything is intuitive from the start. Reports are VERY detailed and show you everything you need and some more.

Nachteile

Uninstall could be solved better. E.G. If you are using version 8 and you need to uninstall it, you first have to update with new version and then uninstall. There is no auto-update for MAC.

Vorteile

Two main features that have been the most helpful are first, the ability to easily create custom alarm triggers along with personalized popup messages to the offending PC/operator. As soon as the employees realize the activities are being watched and flagged they immediately cleaned up their act. Second, the ability to produce a screen shot at timed intervals and upon trigger of an alarm allows us to paint a clear picture of what activities employees are wasting the most time doing as well as spot activities that may not easily trigger an alarm but are restricted based on company policy.

Nachteile

Difficulty to find fault with this system. The only issue we have encountered was a bug in the Mac version of the agent software. Customer service was very helpful and responsive.

Vorteile

Fantastic software that's pretty easy to set up on remote computers. Makes it easy to track what employees are doing with their time.

Nachteile

When your storage is over limit you are unable to view any activity. The only way to fix this is by upgrading membership or deleting all activity. If older activity could be auto deleted it would solve this issue

Vorteile

This software is very easy to use, invisible to your end users, and the best part is that it's free for up to 3 users, so you can try it out before you commit to subscribing.

Nachteile

No cons

Vorteile

I like that it keeps up with productive and non productive tasks along with screenshots along with email updates

Vorteile

Monitoring employee inefficiency and ensuring top quality and productivity. You can get real-time screenshots showing exactly what each user is doing. Even if the computer is offline the program will store all the history and screenshots and make them available as soon as you are back online

Nachteile

Nothing. This software is amazing. The only thing that could be different is if we didn't need to re-install the software for the major updates.

Vorteile

ActivTrak is so easy to install and setup. The interface is user friendly and it really overs a lot of features. There is even a free option to use the software.

Nachteile

Well the only cons to me is that it's not always nice as a IT consultant to install this for clients and see how some employees get asked to leave because they are doing their jobs, but hey, that's life and that's why there are software out there like ActivTrack.

Vorteile

ActivTrak is extremely easy to install and simple to use. Most of my initial issues were easily resolved by adjusting the settings. For the first few weeks we had our employees manually log their hours and activity so that we could compare it to the data in ActivTrak. We wanted to see if there were any discrepancies that we needed to address as we transitioned our employees to work remotely. Once properly configured we have found that it is an extremely useful and very accurate product.

Nachteile

The cons that we initially experienced where due to user error and not the product itself.

Vorteile

employee tracking and keeping them in check

Nachteile

Limit features in the basic pay, you need to pay for add ons

Vorteile

1 - It's easy to use. All you do is download the program to install, and it will automatically do everything for you.
2 - Screenshots every minute. This is such an incredible feature that allows me to keep track of exactly what's going on.
3 - Graphs and data visualization for productivity. All you have to do is tag which applications/use cases are productive/unproductive, and you can get a quick overview of what the computers are being used for.
4 - Weekly summary emails. This way I don't even have to log in to check, but get a top level summary of the most important news.
5 - Website Blocking. It's really great to be able to block websites simply and easily.

Vorteile

ActivTrak are very useful for our company to track our employees productivity and system activity.

Nachteile

Based on our usage and experience there was no least about ActivTrak

Vorteile

This product provides great feedback on the productivity of my employees. I am easily able to see work start and end times, idle times, and productivity times based on applications and programs in use.

The ability to see this information in a quick easy to access graph and user interface has really allowed me to manage my employee's time efficiently and keep our office productive even while working remote.

Nachteile

I would like the software to have suggested lists for websites to block or trigger an alarm known to contain malware or commonly blocked by other businesses.

Vorteile

VALUE
Small business that has only have two administrative personnel, ActivTrak offers a free version of its software, which allows us smaller companies who may not have the resources or need for an integrate monitoring software. It allows us to monitor our employees productivity for a value that cannot be beat - FREE!

Nachteile

No complaints; unable to complain about software that is offered free of charge. Only suggestion is for the free version to possible allow storage to be deleted for a certain period instead of having to delete the entire history.
Wish a light version was available for smaller companies to purchase/subscribe to that allowed for unlimited storage.

Vorteile

Screenshots and the ability to view what employees are looking at on company devices

Nachteile

None. A lot of functionality that we do not use but will consider exploring further in future as the need arises

Vorteile

We love the dashboard and there are no issues

Nachteile

All of our contractors are out of the US and the time zone tracking doesn't always seem right

Vorteile

As a business, that has employees internationally, we need to be able to monitor our staff. Activtrak allows us to do this discreetly and safely.

Nachteile

I think the mac deployment could use some work.

Vorteile

EASY install
Great features for free version
Users can't see that it's there

Nachteile

DON"T install on more than 1 machine with multiple users/machine.

Vorteile

Amount of data, realtime data, accuracy of alerts, block unwanted apps, the graphs are really usefull

Nachteile

bandwidth usage makes the browsing slow sometimes, errors while saving alerts, live scrrenshots wont work sometimes

Vorteile

Extensive and easy to use monitoring. Can customize reporting and notifications. Can categorize applications and web sites as needed. Tracks "productive" time (e.g., word processing for homework vs games).

Nachteile

Not priced for non-business / family usage. Free account is limited and entry level pricing is not comparable to other parental monitoring software.

Vorteile

We suggest this product any time our customers need to track employee internet usage.

The time line and screen shot features are very nice to see what an employee is doing through out the day.

Nachteile

The price is a little higher than I would expect

The user can uninstall it if they have admin access. Not really a con but it is good to know this

Vorteile

The dashboard is very clean and well organized, it makes it very easy to report and find information. Also the fact that they give you 3 free computers is a bonus it allows you to really dive in and experience it before buying!

Nachteile

There really are no cons, it does exactly as advertised. I guess if I have to nitpick something it would be that they don't support mobile phone, or tablet monitoring yet.

Vorteile

I like that i can do so much and it is so simple to use and understand. Other programs i was looking into were a little harder to understand and had too much going on. I like simple and straight to the point!

Nachteile

I guess the only thing is that some of the more advanced features i had to play around with as they are not that simple to understand but once i really looked into them i understood how to use them.

Vorteile

I love this software I can see what my employees are doing on the computer.

Nachteile

At first it was not responding to some of the different categories but after the update it started working right . No problems after that .

Vorteile

I can allow my employees to work flexible hours and from home and still be assured that I am getting the hours that I am paying for. I can attend to accusations by investigating accusations (booking time on projects and not doing the work) and what actually happened. The employee can compare his perceived productivity vs actual productivity.

Nachteile

The fact that you cannot allocate time away from your computer. We have a lot of meetings, site visits, travel time, and even leave that I would like to capture.

Vorteile

Easy to navigate for customers. Nice and easy interface easy to use for admins. Automated alerts, ability to track Productivity.

Nachteile

No way to type in words in a search bar to easily navigate what youre looking for. Would be nice not to have to scour through the website looking for what you need. Easier to type it in a search bar box at the top of the page

Vorteile

The ability to see screen shots and mark different sites as productive and unproductive. Also being able to see current things going on an being an to track users on different devices.

Nachteile

Some down times or glitches. I had an issue for some reason on one device where it stopped collecting data which was an inconvenient issue, but was glad that I was able to reinstall on device and start collecting data at without much trouble

Vorteile

Gives me all the features I wanted and them more on top

Nachteile

Can be confusing if users switch machines

Vorteile

You can track productivity of your employees by categorized application, website in to productivity and unproductive. Every screenshot captured secretly.

Nachteile

Limitation of storage space there should be any provision link with box,one drive or dropbox so that all file can moved or save to these drives.

Vorteile

The interface is very friendly, it enables us to set the dashboard in ways that allows us to control the issues and activities that makes real sense, with the right and actionable information.
The information is available in real time, so if there's an activity with a short time to deliver, the managers will be able to push their teams in order to complete this schedule.
The possibility to classify websites and apps as it appears is great also.

Nachteile

I've started using it few months ago, so there's only one thing that bothers me. It's the granularity of activities measured. Some of them have few seconds and should be discharged, instead of standing there to be classified.

Vorteile

like the ease of use, the granularity and functionality of the reports. Knowing the exact amount of time a user is using each software, automatically categorizing sites and software to productive/unproductive is very helpful. Like that it captures all screens for the system

Nachteile

I would like to be able to know what all internet tabs are that are opened if a screenshot is taken. would like to be able to configure the default screenshot timeframe.

Vorteile

The best thing about this software is its ease of use and learning curve. Activtrak can do almost everything an IT support company can do, but for a fraction of the cost.

Nachteile

There are not many cons to this software. Once you get it installed on the computer it is very easy to use. The only thing I could recommend is an automatic software update on the computers it is installed on instead of having to go to each computer and manually update versions of the software.

Vorteile

It's very easy to stay on top of things like making sure people are doing what they are supposed to. The screenshots are also a good way to check. The admin section is easy to use and understand.

Nachteile

It would be nice to be able to filter out idle time. Then I could check a range of time to see how much work was done, not including idle time.

Vorteile

Ability to see the screenshots and see what the staff are doing in real time

Nachteile

Having to manually delete data instead of it automatically overwriting the oldest files

Vorteile

I could see just how much time was being wasted during work hours. It shows information from employee's computers onto mine. I could see if too much time was being spent doing things that are not productive or work related.

Nachteile

Feels a bit like big brother and didn't feel right about using it but some people made it necessary to do so.

Vorteile

Ease of use
Plug and play setup
Multi platform support
User agent small in size
Weekly alerts on usage

Nachteile

No full control. You cant use it in a lan only system. You have to be connected to the internet at all times.

Vorteile

I like the most the dashboard where you can find all kind of information easily. You can access all the stats, reports ... everything ! The team did great job and I like it.

Nachteile

There is only one thing that I think can be improved. The quality of emails we receive about overview can be increased. That will help to maintain all the other stuff easily.

Vorteile

This is the perfect tool for a parent who needs to see what their child is doing on their computer. It's completely hidden and enabled me to gather a tremendous about of information and proof that she was not doing homework when she was supposed to be. It was also very helpful to see when she was clearing her Internet history in attempt to hide her activity from us. Also loved the added bonus of being able to block sites where the majority of time was being wasted. I am so glad I found this tool and definitely see an application for it in the workplace as well which I am considering.

Nachteile

I honestly can't think of anything I would consider a "con" of the product. It does exactly what it says it does and it does it very well. The only cons for me is that I'm currently using the free version and don't have access to some of the other features, but I would probably only need to have those in a workplace scenario.

Vorteile

Easy to use and navigate. Simple layout so can quickly learn way around it. Most accurate in information and reports than other applications.

Nachteile

Pulls up a completely history from several past years verses whats recent.

Vorteile

I like being able to track applications and browser separately. I also like the screenshots taken at intervals cause they provide evidence that may not be noted otherwise by a timer tracker.

Nachteile

I wish there is an option to monitor on chromebooks as well. Some user are switching to that and to not be able to monitor that makes things inconvenient.

Vorteile

Activtrak gives management and users the ability to see what they are viewing as well as KPI Reporting to track productivity of users so that evaluations can be made of how to improve a user or particular positions productivity.

Nachteile

Inability to import activtrack users. Upgrading to a newer version sometimes loses the continuity for a person.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Gründe für den Wechsel zu ActivTrak

Vorteile

The realtime tracking for multiple systems, accurate website blocking ( not just classification) easy deployment and NO maintenance on the clients

Nachteile

sometimes it gets bugged when computers are not shutdown properly. but can be resolved by restarting it

Vorteile

The agent software generate weekly report,detail of aplication access on PC send the report to your email.

Nachteile

Its not give you a detail of graphic use when you use free software.
Hard to have detail when your PC use two or more standard user. Actually when you use one active agent for more then one PC that use for more than one user

Vorteile

I think the ability to control what each site and program should be classified as (productive or unproductive).

Nachteile

I don't think that I can't break up some websites like Facebook. Typically it is unproductive time but since our Facebook business page is under Facebook.com it would actually be productive.

Vorteile

Reliable and packed with great reporting which includes screenshot and makes reviewing everything really easy. Great product and great value. I would like to see more users for example and using local space for screenshots and reports.

Nachteile

Some links and websites appear in report and can't be excluded and too few users for a year license. Time cannot be ajuste the way it's displayed same for the date.

Vorteile

Ease to use and help me to my manager roles

Nachteile

bureaucracy from the help desk service. this week I had a problem and it isn't solved.

Vorteile

Very easy to grasp. The interface is also very streamlined and allows me to see in great detail what is being accessed through our network. Real time monitoring is also very convenient.

Nachteile

Sometimes, the software will freeze up and occasionally stutter. Not sure if this is an issue with the software or my computer itself.

Vorteile

Ease of use, robust features in free version, quick painless installation, expandable account can add multiple users.

Nachteile

Some of the navigation through user data is unclear at first, exporting data in a way that includes screenshots was difficult.

Vorteile

I love the usability and real world application. As a small business, we were looking for something that was feature rich, however we didn't want to spend a lot at this time. We were able to work with the software and meet all requirements we had. Looking forward to the paid service when we are ready to add more users. The features of the screenshots with the program has been great as sometimes we are not sure what the application is and have used it to share program ideas between staff.

Nachteile

I wish that some of the paid features could be used in the free service. I know its a for profit company, but it would be even better to demo for a small company and allow us extended testing as we grow.

Vorteile

family safety, but if have apps, more good, use very useful and easy. I like it and hope to be best

Nachteile

I used activtrack from long time to see my family and save them from any virus or anyone from the virus.
