### "Hubstaff is a bit complex and sometimes not so user friendly"

July 13, 2018

3.0

Pros

Love the tracking features. I like being able to adjust what I need the software to do, like screen capture, and etc..

Cons

Hard to navigate. I don't quite understand many of the features. Also, there should be a feature that allows biweekly schedules

### "Saves a fortune in freelancer bills!"

July 16, 2018

5.0

Reduced costs and increased productivity. We're also about to use it as a sales tool, increasing transparency with our customers.

Pros

The random screenshots are amazing! While it's rare I find time to check them, the threat of knowing they're there means more honest time logging from freelancers. In the first month I saw my monthly expected freelancer bills (across 8 freelancers) drop by over 30%! It's highlighted an issue with one freelancer in particular and prompted a staff change.

Cons

It is quite expensive and I wish it was more affordable so that I could roll it out to people that only do a few hours a month for me.

### "hubstaff - wonderful resource for freelancers and work-at-homers"

November 30, 2018

4.0

i use it for a single client for whom i do work for multiple 'sub clients,' so it's great for keeping track.

Pros

it keeps track of your work hours for you so you don't have to keep notes or 'do the math.'

Cons

it does take occasional screen shots of your monitor, so be careful what you have onscreen while using it.

### "Great Time Monitoring Solution"

July 13, 2018

4.0

We are able to manage team members efforts located across the country with ease.

Pros

Quick start with minimal technical knowledge. This system gives users the ability to track and monitor staff effort without an intrusive, cumbersome interface. It's priced perfect!

Cons

The scroll bar on the side menu! The Payroll feature is not user friendly and does not offer enough options or for payment. The system doesn't permit enough tailoring of features (e.g. multiple budget utilization triggers).

### "Best time tracking software with Freshbooks integration"

March 27, 2018

5.0

Pros

The time tracking features is great. I discovered Hubstaff when looking for a time tracking application that is cross platform (Mac/Windows), automatically syncs time w/notes to Freshbooks. I was sold on Hubstaff when I discovered it has time tracking reminders, in case you have not tracked any time in x amount of minutes. This is great if you are prone to forgetting to start your timer.

Cons

Can not submit time tracked instantly (does so on an interval). The schedules feature is nice, however if I want to plan my day and schedule hourly, Hubstaff does not have this support.

### "Hubstaff review"

December 5, 2018

4.0

Good

Pros

I login and go, and at the end of the month I get paid - simple

Cons

We need to manually put in our Paid Time Off - PTO. Keeping track of my personal PTO is a nightmare. The calendars on the reports to set up custom time fields are clunky and often do not save. Having a more intuitive PTO system in place that has running totals would be useful. So, for example, I could tell HubStaff that I am allowed 8 hours paid leave for every 66 hours worked, to a maximum of 22 days (176 hours) for every 365 days. Hubstaff could then let me know how much of the 22 days I have used in the last 365 days. This would also save hours of work for the HR department

### "Great for freelancer"

April 27, 2019

5.0

Again, Hubstaff helps me evaluate whether my efforts are producing a return on investment, time-wise.

Pros

Hubstaff allows me to keep up with how I spend my time whether working on a billable client project or developing designs for my online shop. I can look at where the time goes in and learn how to maximize my earning capacity by spending my time where I make the most.

Cons

I don't really have anything to contribute. I use limited features but the ones I use I'm completely satisfied with.

### "Hubstaff"

February 20, 2020

5.0

Overall, good experience using Hubstaff. It is very easy and efficient in terms of keeping track of hours for multiple employees.

Pros

I like that it is easy to use and keeps track of hours as well as notifies you when you are inactive.

Cons

It is sometimes prone to crash or log you out automatically which makes tracking hours more difficult.

### "Hubstaff does a few things good, but misses some of the features I need"

July 13, 2018

4.0

Time tracking and screen capture

Pros

The ability to track screenshots and activity is great, I like that you can send payments through hubstaff though I've never been able to figure out how to actually do it.

Cons

There are some features that are missing - I would like to be able to add PTO to it for instance. It's really difficult sometimes to understand what is going on with some of the dashboards I think that it's a little over priced for the feature set it offers

### "Hubstaff has helped us to monitor our overseas employees and give them flexibility "

July 10, 2018

5.0

Ability to monitor employees and the work that they are doing and that they are truely doing the work they have stated they are working on.

Pros

Ease of use and ability to quickly get employees on board with using it. I have not had any employees complain about using it. We love the integration to Trello so not only can we track time but we can also track time to specific projects.

Cons

I wish it were free :) Seriously, we have 1 employee that uses an extremely outdated Apple laptop and the operating system is not supported. However, we have been able to get them to use the Chrome extension instead.

### "Lifesaver for a virtual assistant!"

January 8, 2019

5.0

I am a virtual assistant for a real estate company, and this software is a lifesaver! It helps me manage all the properties and keep track of all the details being worked on by the team. I set appointments for the owner with prospective sellers, keep track of reports and manage the day to day activities all from one place with this software, and it is so easy to use! I would definitely recommend to anyone who works on group projects or needs to have everything organized with one program.

Pros

IT allows me to set appointments, keep track of time sheets, and reports all in one place.

Cons

I wish there was a place for favorite or more commonly used tasks instead of having to sift through

Excellent

Pros

I like how easy the application is to use on my desktop or mobile. It's comprehensive and updates within minutes to give you accurate information on time worked. The trello integration is definitely a plus.

Cons

The google add- on crashes occasionally, which delays accurate time measurements

March 27, 2019

We have had a great experience overall.

Pros

We really love the screenshot functionality. Although I almost never check it. I am happy to know it is there just incase there is any question about work completed or time dedicated.

Cons

We still have to learn how to really incorporate with our basecamp projects.

### "Hubstaff review after 3 months"

July 28, 2021

5.0

Pros

I just recently upgraded my account and now am able to create schedules for my 2 assistants. This upgrade has helped me so much! It alerts me if my assistants are late or abandoned a scheduled shift

Cons

Sometimes it is hard to understand each of the settings under each user. I don't think it is explained very well - such as under edit role and limits - settings - idle time. I'm not sure what each of those mean. It only says for desk top app, but what does the idle limit do? It doesn't explain

### "Great tool for remote teams"

October 28, 2021

4.0

Overall positive, but If I hadn't used it at a previous company I would have had a hard time setting it up.

Pros

Great set of features and plays well with Asana which is our core PM tool. Reporting (time per project, time per task) is also quite good compared to other tools I've seen.

Cons

The onboarding needs much better help with articles and videos. There are 1000 details to set up and the articles miss a lot of those.

Reason for choosing Hubstaff

I have used it at another company and I knew some parts of it work really well.

### "Tracking remote workers"

August 2, 2018

4.0

Pros

It was extremely easy to setup and the employees who used it hardly noticed it was there (very lightweight and unobtrusive).

Cons

There should be an option for unpaid user license such as a billing only license.
