It is clear they have vision for the future as well with a fluid pipeline of upcoming implementations Cons UI for users seems a bit lacking. Would be nice to have at least control to rename to "Clock In" Clock Out vs just getting tracked/etc. The public facing UI is still too subliminal Alternatives considered [Teramind](https://www.capterra.com/p/172645/Teramind/) Reason for choosing WE Controlio Price and simplicity to install/use for both sides Review Source Waverly B. COO Automotive Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "We Control the Success through We Controlio" August 1, 2025 5.0 A superb experience using the We Controlio app. Best value for money, with easy access that does not require monitoring on very high-end specs. Pros Ease of use and monitoring for all users' activities are very achievable in the application. Not requiring much of a High-End device in order to run the application. Cons I cannot find anything that I may not like about We Controlio app. Because comparing with other app of the same purpose, We Controlio provides the very easy way to access and secure the workflow of the company at a reasonable price. Switched from [Time Doctor](https://www.capterra.com/p/129984/Time-Doctor/) Higher in cost and limited output for monitoring of remote employees job activities. Review Source MF Monique F. Tax Consultant Accounting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great monitoring software experience" June 29, 2026 4.0 It has been very pleasant. From installing and setting up, it has been smooth and without hassles. I am hoping that going forward it stays that way Pros This monitoring software is really easy to use and the interface is very user friendly. You can see at the click of a button the employee productivity and even live feeds. Cons There wasn't anything really. I haven't used the software enough to find anything I don't like. I would say at this point, I wish the trial was longer! Switched from [Teramind](https://www.capterra.com/p/172645/Teramind/) Teramind was too complicated for our needs. We needed something simpler that just monitors and records. Review Source TB Tyroone B. Accountant Accounting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "WE Controlio: A Practical Tool for Monitoring Teams" September 6, 2025 4.0 I’d say my experience is good. The setup took a little learning, but once it was customised, it worked smoothly. Pros I like how easy it is to track productivity without having to dig through complicated menus. The dashboard gives me a clear picture right away. Cons Sometimes the reports need tweaking before they show exactly what I’m looking for. The amount of detail can feel overwhelming at first until you get used to it. Review Source AT Andrew T. IT Executive Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Control with Controlio" September 11, 2025 5.0 Its Great to have a software like this, but I only tried for one server and 2 computer. I have not see if this software can split the report according to our need, anyway thank you Pros its easy to use, easy to install and uninstall. Could see the last capture at the dashboard. Dashboard is faster compare to similar software. Cons time tracking always good to make sure the employee is productive. And to see who is access the Server and what he/she access.

Co-CEO And Founder Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Cost-effective solution for project management" July 29, 2025 5.0 We use Controlio primarily for project management and to streamline our daily operations, for tracking project progress, managing logs, scheduling, requesting change orders and follow up inspections. Pros I like the document management and centralized information, also the project scheduling and time management helped our productivity with the daily logs management Cons At first navigating was hard but after contacting the customer support everything was sorted at the appropriate time Alternatives considered [PlanSwift](https://www.capterra.com/p/70808/PlanSwift/) Reason for choosing WE Controlio Tracking system doesn't work as expected so we felt it's a waste of time Review Source BA Bronwyn A. Policy Manager Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Useful support for organizations with compliance requirements" June 17, 2026 5.0 Our organization needed better workforce oversight without compromising compliance obligations. The platform helped centralize monitoring and reporting while supporting our broader compliance and governance objectives. Pros The platform aligns well with organizations that must operate under strict data protection and compliance standards. Having workforce visibility while supporting compliance objectives is an important advantage for our organization. Cons More compliance focused reporting templates would make it easier to generate reports for audits and internal reviews. Review Source NO Nova O. Executive Assistant Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "An advanced employee monitoring tool" September 4, 2025 5.0 Overall, I really like how the software increases employees and departments' productivity by summarizing activities throughout the day and giving detailed and flexible reports. Pros What I like the most about Controlio is the productivity scoring feature which calculates transparent and accurate productivity scores for both users and departments. This gives a clear measure of the employees performance, offering an advantage to honest and hardworking employees by recognizing their consistent efforts and encouraging productive behavior. Cons What I like least about Controlio is I’ve noticed that the dashboard can experience a brief delay, typically a second or two, when refreshing during periods of high activity. However, this is not a major inconvenience, and it becomes unnoticeable once filters are set which can sometimes also improve the software's overall responsiveness. Review Source NA Nuraina A. HR Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple tool that saves time on billing" September 4, 2025 5.0 I really like how Controlio's app usage reports help us align invoicing cycles with actual work hours, making billing disputes a thing of the past. Pros The productivity score rolls active time and focus levels into one number, so my weekly finance huddle starts with clear metrics on billing efficiency. Cons Switching between team and individual views takes an extra click, though I got used to it after the first month. Review Source DF Denitza F. VP R and D Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Detailed workforce analytics that go beyond basic time tracking" June 22, 2026 5.0 We needed a better understanding of where employee time was actually being spent. The platform helped uncover workflow bottlenecks and provided actionable data for process improvement initiatives. Pros The time distribution analytics provide much deeper visibility than traditional tracking tools. Instead of simply seeing hours worked, we can understand how time is distributed across various activities and workflows. This has helped us identify operational inefficiencies and improve resource allocation. Cons The analytics are powerful, but some advanced reports require a learning period before managers can fully utilize them. Review Source DB Daniel B. Co Founder and COO Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Excellent Software to keep track performance" June 10, 2025 5.0 Overall, Controlio has been a great tool for our team. It’s easy to use, gives us useful insights, and has definitely helped us work more efficiently Pros Controllio makes it super easy to see what’s going on with our team. It’s clear, reliable, and has really helped us stay on track and productive. Cons did not give me information about the computer, it can give me more details like ram, hd, and some inventory data.

Responsable de IT Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Monitor de Usuarios Saltillo,Coahuila Mexico" February 17, 2025 5.0 Me gusta que un equipo con varias cuentas monitorea cada usuario de ese equipo. Y que puedo checar cada uno por separado. Pros Me gusta que puedo ver todo lo que hace el personal y tambien que puedo configurar lo que es productivo y lo que no es productivo. Puedo saber que archivos estan usando. Cons Hasta el dia de hoy que he probado, me ha gustado todo lo que hace Controlio. Review Source RC Roan-Louise C. Admin Staff Accounting Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Simplifies Monthly Task Planning in My Department" July 31, 2025 5.0 Planning meetings often ran overtime before, but now we prepare everything in advance, keeping sessions focused and on track. Pros I really like the calendar sync, which is faster than running dual planners. Assigning new tasks each month is easier than our old whiteboard system. Cons Bulk editing would make updates even faster, but individually is still manageable after a bit of practice. Review Source ND Navin D. Director Civil Engineering Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Excellent Product" October 21, 2024 5.0 Pros Ease of use, using Controlio to monitor remote staffing was so useful Cons Video playback is laggy, stops and starts Review Source JW Jessica W. IT Specialist Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Value to our Company" October 18, 2023 5.0 My overall experience has been great. The support I receive from our account manager is like no other vendor. They are always there to help. Pros The activity reports are super important to us so we can see where our users are spending most of their time, and how we can assist them with those tools. We do not control what they can and cannot access, so seeing what shortcuts or workflows they have created helps us help them, and potentially implement it for other users. We also really like the heatmaps, so we can see at what point in the day more users are using certain applications or websites. The screenshots are always a great option to see how we can coach a user on how they are spending their time throughout the day. The implementation was extremely easy. I used an RMM system to silently deploy the software on to all of our machines. Unexpectedly, this helps us mitigate theft from employees who leave the company. Cons With updates to mac machines, sometimes the software stops working, and I have to remote into the users machine to change the settings manually so it will continue to work properly. This creates a lot of manual work for me, and I never know when it is going to happen. I know the software for mac's is still technically in beta, so I hope this will be resolved soon.

Law Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Really helps monitoring employee work habits." February 1, 2018 5.0 Productive employees Pros I can monitor internet usage and/or programs that employees are using during the work day. It gives me the amount of time spent on each site or program and the time of day. Very detailed and very pleased with this software. Before I had this software I had a problem employee who would surf the web and even watch streamed tv shows. Once I was able to review her works habits with her she straightened right up and no more problems. Review Source JE Joseph E.

Programmer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool to really understand what really happens in your business" December 16, 2019 5.0 Pros This tool helps you understand what your employee really do when you absent in the office. It shows you: \* what webpages do employee navigate, \* captures keys that user pressed (logs keys) \* large amount of detailed statistcs/charts/reports by apps/pages and so on \* captures Chats/IM traffic \* captures files usage/downloads/uploads/online searches/emails \* and so on It's not a simply useful app. This is the app that real business MUST HAVE! Cons For now Work Examiner cannot make you a cup of coffee, but I guess this will be available in the future updates (it's joke, but who knows...) Review Source NA Neysa A.

You can save a lot of effort and money out of this platform. You can track all areas of business by using this platform. Pros Here I can track the flow of my business and also the productivity of all employee. This platform is like a supermarket in where you can get everything in one place effortless. And the price is not heavy compare to the benefits that you can get in this platform. Using all the program inside is very easy to use, actually it is a new user friendly. The data that needed in monitoring the employee is very accurate, Its not hustle to report each data because you can see this in different angle. Cons My worried about this is that if i have a good employee in manipulating there data i can't see there actual work to the data I've seen in platform. In this case I need to assign one a person to look for actual scenario's. In my previous job I experienced this, Review Source Marcos E.

Since it already logs work hours and application or website usage, I can spend more time reviewing trends and less time compiling data. Pros The automated time tracking for active, idle, and total hours, plus attendance and working session start and stop, removes a lot of manual work. It reliably captures the essentials, so I can focus on analysis instead of data gathering. Cons A bit more flexibility in customizing certain reports would be useful. The built‑in options cover most day‑to‑day needs. Review Source BI Berna I. Human Resources Consultant Investment Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great Software" July 2, 2025 5.0 As an HR Consultant at Inci Holding, I found Controlio to be an incredibly useful tool during the trial period. It gave me clear visibility into user activity, which is essential for understanding productivity and time management. The interface is intuitive, and the real-time monitoring features are especially valuable. I was impressed with how much insight I could gain without needing a lot of technical setup. Pros Controlio offers seamless live desktop monitoring, real-time user status tracking (active or away), and detailed reports on running applications and visited websites per user.
