Trusted by 95,000+ businesses. Hubstaff targets businesses and teams aiming to boost productivity, especially in tech, marketing, and remote work sectors, from startups to enterprises.
Perfect for companies! DeskTime is a simple and secure time tracking app that lets you increase your company's effectivity and productivity.
Dashboard is awesome, time tracking & screenshot management impressed me & automatic payment system is good.
It ends up being distracting and fosters an unhealthy urgency mindset. If you forget to switch time between projects, it can be confusing to redistribute it.
Whenever there is an issue (which can happen even in the best of companies )it can always be solved quickly and smoothly by the lovely people in customer support.
Hubstaff showed that we were not working at all for that hour meeting, which skews the daily metric TERRIBLY.
On my last job for a transportation company, we used this tool, it is an amazing app, I love the intelligent way it is designed. Actually it helped us on organizing work and on tracking via JPS.
It's terrible being monitored by mouse and keyboard usage for 8+ hours a day. Your productivity isn't measured by those metrics.
They are super responsive and attentive to our account. The clarity in the dashboard and ease of use of the app and online tracking tool is superb.
There's no payroll integration with Payoneer. It's tough to do payroll with limited options.
Interface is very good and the way data is displayed is excellent. Automated screenshots every 3 mins is a very good feature.
There's no lie, just facts: you will confront your time spent actually working and procrastinating. And it's worse than it sounds: you are not working with quality.
As for customer support, it is great so far as well as the quality of service. I also have to mention that some of the features provided are also very impressive and interesting.
Might put a negative effect on employees when all of their activities are tracked and recorded.
I love everything about the software. It is so easy to use and it helps when i have investigations to do.
Updated version is mess. Almost different app/software.
The set of features available for the pricing has been very much useful and accurate and the Screenshots feature is the most awesome.
Order has no specific purpose. There should be weekly report for flagged behavior.
Chris: Hi, I'm Chris, and I have a marketing agency that has approximately 20 team members, and I rate Hubstaff five out of five stars. So before, what I would do would be I would track time for my team within our project management software and then audit the work that was being done manually and pay them manually using an international payment method, which was very time-consumptive. I went ahead and went with Hubstaff because it was a product that was recommended to me by other marketing agency owners that were successfully using it to manage their international virtual teams to automate more of the monitoring process of like what people are doing at their workstations, what they're working on, what sites they're visiting. So for monitoring productivity mostly and then also for automation of payment methods. I would say that getting started with Hubstaff is pretty easy because Hubstaff has a very helpful support team, but also, most importantly, they had an introduction sequence of training videos that were very short, easy to follow, and oriented me to the software right away. For anybody else that has a virtual team or has people working for them virtually, especially overseas, managing productivity is very difficult, and having a good, reliable solution that can help you monitor people's work as far as what they're actually doing when they're billing work for you is highly, highly important to keep people accountable. And then in addition to that, being able to automate international payments is something that takes a whole lot of extra time and work off of your plate. So those are the reasons I would definitely recommend Hubstaff.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
