Payroll Manager Financial Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great choice for a Small / Mid size companies " May 21, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with WorkTime has been highly positive. The software is easy to set up and runs quietly in the background without interrupting daily tasks. I appreciate how it gives a clear view of employee productivity—showing active vs. idle time, applications used, and overall work patterns—without relying on invasive tactics like screen recording or keylogging. The reports are straightforward and customizable, making it easy to identify where time is being well spent and where improvements can be made. It’s especially helpful for managing remote or hybrid teams, offering transparency and accountability while still respecting privacy. Pros It offers clear data on how time is spent—working vs. idle time, app and website usage—which helps managers and employees identify productivity trends. Cons It doesn't offer strong integrations with third-party apps or project management tools, which can reduce workflow efficiency. Alternatives considered [UKG Ready](https://www.capterra.com/p/198579/UKG-Ready/)[QuickBooks Time](https://www.capterra.com/p/151722/TSheets/) Reason for choosing WorkTime It generally offers competitive pricing for the features provided, especially for businesses looking for essential tracking without paying for advanced surveillance. Switched from [Open Time Clock](https://www.capterra.com/p/129987/Open-Time-Clock/) Open Time Clock required more manual checks and input, especially for reporting. WorkTime automates much of this, making it easier to generate reports and spot trends. Review Source Response from NesterSoft October 8, 2025 Dear Pablo, Thank you for your detailed review! We’re delighted to hear that WorkTime’s non-invasive approach, clear reports, and ease of use have been valuable for your team.

Lack of Customer Support Caused us to Cancel Service" April 13, 2019 3.0 Dont waste you money unless you are OK with weird errors in your data, and no response back to try and fix them. Pros We were able to Install to run silently on all users machines. Could have daily reports sent as csv files to feed into our analytics systems. Cons The Software did not provide its own update mechanism. We were having some weird errors that did not make sense about what devices it was showing a user login time on. When choosing users to not monitor, the system kept adding them back, so we still had to pay for a license for them, even though the system was not collecting monitoring data from them. Reaching out to tech support provided no response. Even the CEO of the company ended up responding saying that he would check into it. But then failed to ever respond. This went on for 3 months with me sending him multiple emails, but he never responded. we ended up letting our subscription lapse because we would not ever get tech support to get back to us. Review Source Response from NesterSoft May 14, 2019 Dear BRAD! Thank you for your feedback! It is very important to us. We are sorry for any misunderstanding! We will check our SPAM folder for your emails. About monitored users: if you delete a user from the system it will not be monitored and you do not have to pay for them. Usually if the user keeps reappearing in the system it means the user logs in on the computers that are being monitored. All your questions will be investigated asap and we will get back to you!

VP Operations Renewables & Environment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Well balanced monitoring without too much intrusion" May 6, 2026 4.0 Overall from a company perspective it worked well, help measure and baseline productivity. It was a bit of culture shock to employees, most embraced and utilized to show their value and productivity. It also did lead to a few departures some of which were good employees, which even the data validated, but came across as micro managed and shock so they decided the new "culture" wasn't for them. Pros Easy to learn, easy install on both BYOD and company owned computers. The monitoring was a balanced approach without being as obtrusive as others we had tested. Cons Like most other products, monitoring is black and white, its either on or off. Would be nice to see some AI that differentiates personal use during the day when its not abusive or excessive. On BYOD computers we experience employees forgetting to turn off while at home, which lead to some issues regarding privacy concerns Review Source Response from NesterSoft May 18, 2026 Dear Mark, Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad WorkTime helps establish a productivity baseline for your team. To ease privacy concerns on BYOD computers, you can reassure your team that WorkTime does not record passwords, keystrokes, screenshots, chats, emails, documents, voice, or video. We are also working on a feature to restrict monitoring strictly to working hours to prevent any accidental tracking at home. Sincerely, The WorkTime Team info@worktime.com Juan K.

The dashboard is an easy layout to understand, and its implementation is seamless to roll out. I have already increased my efficiency by 10-20% Cons Sometimes it picks up productive work as unproductive and has to manually set it to enable it to be seen as productive time.
