DeskTime Erfahrungen

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Desktime has been very useful in the management of work teams, their monitoring and time management, it is a very complete platform.

One of the things I'm not a fan of is that it takes a while to download the reports, many times the screenshots are lost for no apparent reason, but in general, it is a strong platform.

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.

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.

I have noticed productive time surge in my team post using desktime.

Nothing as of now. All the features in desktime are helpful in employee monitoring

1. It's simple to keep a careful eye on your employees using this amazing tool.
2. Employees can be retrieved on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
3. We can also segment the employees by department and retrieve the necessary information.

Although all features are great but this tool works very well on windows but it lack on linux.

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).

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.

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.

Easy to use whenever the employer is located in the world. All employees will be logged in Desktime when they work, and the employer has the authority to check on all employees, see their arrival, time of spending on different programs, and their absence daily, weekly, or even monthly.

That DeskTime tracks every single web or program and names it. Depending on the employees' work/responsibility, it is a necessity to check on programs that are even unproductive, even though it's not true. It affects productivity and effectiveness.

Online tracking, silent client and reports

We haven't use the Projects option much.

It is easy to deploy and monitor the exact data amd activity .

There is nothing to be disliked about the product it has all features which was required by us.

It is a valuable asset for tracking time in specific projects, we can also fetch the duration of activity going to serve a request, it also helps how many tools we are using in our working environment.

It fetch all the urls and decrease the security of a team. some time feels hectic.

The most important function in Desktime is for my company to be able to visualize in real time the time spent on each of the projects, without the need for controls or complex systems. In this way, we can correct any flaws in our planning more quickly.

We lost a little flexibility in use of the system when we need to later record the projects that we sometimes forget to register.
