### "Awesome software "

January 19, 2022

5.0

Very happy with this software. I’ve recommended it to several people

Pros

Ease my to set up and use. Integration with Tasks. Ease of reporting.

Cons

The most recent project I was working on didn’t require me to use Hubstaff. When I came back to using it this month, so many new features had been added that it took me a few minutes to find my way around the interface again. Not sure this is a con really since it is indicative of the great work they’re doing with adding features.

### "Can not easily downgrade account"

May 20, 2019

1.0

Pros

It does have lots of good integrations, but the negatives today as I write this review outweigh the positives.

Cons

Their inability to move customers from one membership level to another. I needed to change my subscription and contacted them as such. They did not move me down as requested for 10 months and as such charged me for 10 month on a plan I did not want. When contacting support, they often replied slowly and as a time poor founder this extrapolated my frustration.

It is quite easy to use this application and it helps our team to meet the targets

April 21, 2023

5.0

Overall we are very satisfied with Hubbstaff. I was worried that it would make remote employees uncomfortable, however it has worked well and productivity has gone much higher. Highly recommend.

Pros

Ease of use to track remote employees, payroll is very straightforward since it does all the calculations.

Cons

At first, some of the functions were a bit confusing, but we are learning as we go.

### "Very effective for time tracking"

October 30, 2023

5.0

Pros

Once you've set it up, this tool has many useful features and is quite easy to use. (For time tracking)

Cons

The fact you can spend your the whole hour writing and scrolling, the best ypu can get the activity is around 70%, its a bit annoying and it can be overwhelming at first (a lot of tabs and features) even if you spend the entire hour writing and scrolling, the maximum level of engagement you can achieve with the activity is only around 70%-80%. And alsoIt can be frustrating and overwhelming initially due to the abundance of tabs and features

### "Really easy to use as an employee, don't feel super strongly one way or another about it."

June 10, 2018

4.0

Easiest time clock I've ever had to use.

Pros

Neat little pop up window type feature/app that just had the basic start/stop features. Easy to input manually when you've missed a punch.

Cons

Kinda felt a little weird having random snapshots of my screen taken at any time while the clock is running. Sometimes I'd forget to clock out for breaks, and it'd be taking snapshots of my personal stuff like Facebook and twitter since i worked from home on a personal computer. Otherwise, it's a fine program.

### "Great way of tracking time and giving reports"

June 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

It allows the clients have peace in mind that their job is done by seeing the screenshots and activity.

Cons

The activity works very strict. If you don't click the keyword or the mouse for 2 minutes because you are talking on skype ( for work) , it counts as if you didn't work during this time.

### "A Great Software for Tracking Distance Employees and Contractors"

January 13, 2018

4.0

This software has made it a million times easier to outsource work online, allowing me the freedom to find qualified people from outside my local area.

Pros

Accurately tracks time that someone works, providing screenshots and activity logs. They also offer logs of websites on while clocked in. It gives you security when outsourcing work to know that the time you are paying someone for is actually time worked. I have had instances where employees had been doing work for other customers while billing me for time and it has in turn allowed me to address issues immediately and saved money and time.

Cons

The activity tracker (where it tracks the % of productivity) is not accurate so it must be taken with a grain of salt. If you are not actively keystroking, it clocks the time as non-productive. Also, be careful when removing or adding employees as you may still be billed by hubstaff monthly for them.

### "The best time tracking platform out there"

July 10, 2018

4.0

It saves me so much time and allows me to easily check work product progress for my staff and partner consultants who work a state a way or across the world. It also allow me to be completely mobile when I need to be and allows the same for my staff/partners.

Pros

Hubstaff is, hands down, the best time tracking platform on the market. My business would not function efficiently without it, and I honestly wouldn't be able to be as mobile as I am without it. My business model depends upon collaborations and Hubstaff makes that possible for me with very little time spent on administration. You simply can't beat the cost for what you get!

Cons

While Hubstaff is brilliant at what it does, I haven't upgraded to their premium account because I find the payroll and billing to lack the flexibility I need to work well. For example, it doesn't allow me to write-in a description of activities accomplished on the billing, which some of my clients require. So I'm stuck using other platforms for that. Also, there's so much potential in their task system to replace other project management platforms, but it's not there yet.

### "Productivity Tracker"

January 8, 2019

5.0

Lawn care marketplace to track time of employees and manage their productivity.

Pros

I like the simplicity of the software. You can just open the app, and start tracking time for work.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about this app. It hardly ever failed. However, sometimes the timer does malfunction. It is a rare situation but when it does, it is very annoying and it goes back to zero and you'd have to manually track it and get approvals. But if this does not happen, this is an amazing app.

### "One of the best time tracking softwares - surprised more don't know about it."

November 2, 2018

5.0

Pros

I like the integrations, smartphone app, and ease of use. Quick and simple time entries attached to projects and tasks. Great integration. Implementation also was quick and easy and support has been great!

Cons

For the notes/time entries, I wish there was a bullet/numbering feature as I use some time entries for blocks of time in which multiple tasks have been completed. Currently I am using "-" as a bullet, but would like this feature to be considered in the future.

### "Best For Time And Work Tracking"

May 8, 2019

5.0

overall working with hubstaff is very nice since work tracking is the best way which increase our capabilities

Pros

Hubstaff is the best tool for keep tracking our time and work. it tracks how the employees are concentrated on there work in each time span. hubstaff takes screenshoot and tracks our mouse and keyboard on each time span. the time span is said to be 10 miniute. it takes 3 screen shoots in every 10 minutes. its a very good tool for freelancers to keep track there work and time

Cons

since it takes screen shoot in every 10 minutes we cant open personal datas in that time. since if it takes screeshoot at that time we can not delete that one.

### "Great for our use"

March 28, 2019

5.0

We bill by the minute/second and run reports for payroll and client billing through Hubstaff. It meets our needs incredibly well for this and we haven't found a time yet where it hasn't worked. The site is always up and running and the clocks are never down, which is important since staff works 24/7.

Pros

Accurate time capture - we use it to clock billable hours and the reports and accuracy are spot on

Cons

We cannot get our Salesforce integration to work, and I've tried multiple times. It's hard to understand the integration, even though it seems I follow the directions.

### "Great features"

July 30, 2018

5.0

I searched and tried several different time and project tracking softwares, and Hubstaff was the one that had all of the features that I needed to track the productivity of myself and my team. I am very happy with Hubstaff and recommend it for anyone needing a time tracking solution, especially if you use Asana and are part of a team.

Pros

I like that it has the ability to integrate with Asana so that I can track specific tasks. The screen capture feature is also nice for managing remote teams. Another feature that I found useful is the ability to assign different people to projects.

Cons

There is a slight learning curve. It is tricky at first to find the reports with the information that you need.

September 14, 2018

I am keeping track of overseas Virtual Assistants with it and it does what I need.

Pros

This is a good site and pretty easy to use. VAs seem to not have a problem with it.

Cons

It can be a little hard to figure out where something is sometimes. More intuative navigation would help. Once you learn your way aroudn it is easy to use.

### "A company that really gives that plus!"

September 10, 2015

5.0

I am with them now for (I think) a month (and a half?). The desktop App works flawlessly. It is really easy to integrate with Gitlab, Github etc. (I did not try anything else since i'm using these only) My clients love that they can see that how much time I spent on an Issue. When I close the Issue with the desktop app, it comments to the issue the tracked time. I can feel that they really care about me as a customer. I had some issue with the payment (from my bank's side) they extended my trial so I can keep tracking time while my bank fixed the issue... :) I remember some week ago they were under maintenance for a short time on Sunday (when the less customer were tracking time). Unfortunately I was online, tracking my time, just to see that I lost 1 or 2 hour. I reported it, they told me sorry and they even offered to pay the lost hours. :) I turned down the offer since I could add it manually, but this is something that... that you may be never going to see from other companies. :) I tried a lot of time tracking solutions but stopped them using after 1-2 weeks. I'm still using Hubstaff ( I broke my personal record with them ) Maybe the great service, maybe the excellent customer support... I don't really know. They're just right for me.

Pros

They care about you. Good pricing / well priced. Easy to use Dashboard. Easy to use Desktop App. (that integrates pretty well with other services, like GitLab) They handle your problem lightning fast. Even if it requires further development. I mean seriously... you report a bug or something that it is not working as intended and it gets fixed in a short span of time... (mine got fixed in 1 or 2 weeks, it was some integration problem with Gitlab)

Cons

Well maybe if I could add manual time between any range, like: 8:01 - 8:08 not just every 10 minutes like: 8:00, 8:10, 8:20, 8:30... but I usually track instead of adding manually. :)

Overall experience is positive and I enjoy using the platform

Pros

Easy to enter time, submit reports, add projects / people. The functionality is effortless for the user and helps me keep all the freelance hours I do accounted for. I also love being able to add notes about what work I did for each time slot so I can easily reference later.

Cons

I wish it was easier to add time after the fact without having to add a reason. Sometimes it’s hard to remember to start the timer.
