Christopher B
CEO
5.0

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.

Engineering Change Officer
5.0

Tyrone: Hello, my name is Tyrone. I'm an engineering change officer. I gave Microsoft OneNote five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. I had issues with my team not having invisibility of what information was communicated between one another. So OneNote was the perfect platform to share that. The best feature I liked about Microsoft OneNote was the ability to share information between all my team members. The least thing I liked was the lack of features in the app. I would've preferred to have seen rulers, more color variety, better drawing capabilities for our users.
