### "ActiveTrak - When you want to really monitor your employees/workers remotely"

June 30, 2022

5.0

Very good overall experience. Easy to use, and install.

Pros

This lets you spy on their screen and see what they see. You can block out website from loading. For example: employees during working hours can't load Netflix. You can also monitor when their computer goes to sleep and when they are inactive.

Cons

One of the employees uses a MacBook Pro. When his iOS updates sometimes the permission setting of ActiveTrak need resetting.

### "Powerful Visibility Into Productivity: Best Used as a Coaching Tool"

April 14, 2026

4.0

Overall, ActivTrak has been a valuable tool for understanding workforce productivity and improving operational efficiency. It works best when used as a coaching and insight tool rather than strict monitoring. With the right approach and communication, it provides meaningful data that helps teams improve performance without creating unnecessary friction. It’s reliable, easy to deploy, and delivers solid value for organizations that want better visibility into day-to-day work habits.

Pros

ActivTrak gives great visibility into how time is actually being spent across users and teams. The reporting is clean, easy to understand, and useful for identifying productivity trends without needing to dig through raw data. Setup is straightforward, and the dashboards make it easy to spot inefficiencies, track application usage, and support conversations with employees using real data. It’s especially helpful for remote or hybrid environments where visibility is otherwise limited.

Cons

Some of the deeper reporting and customization options feel a bit limited unless you move up to higher tiers. There can also be a bit of a learning curve when trying to fine-tune categories or interpret certain metrics correctly. Depending on how it’s implemented, it can feel intrusive to employees if expectations aren’t clearly communicated. Pricing can add up quickly as you scale.

### "Auto-Renew Trap and Canned Responses"

March 9, 2026

1.0

When we used the product, it was decent. Also, the reports are good because in a snapshot, we can quickly see the productivity of the team

Pros

The dashboard shows each individual's productivity. This helped us quickly see across departments the work and focus of our employees

Cons

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE! All they seem to care about is locking customers into auto renewal and charging for another full year, whether you are using the product or not. In my case, the business division using ActivTrak no longer existed, the service was no longer needed, and instead of working toward a reasonable resolution, they kept repeating the same contract language and avoided directly answering my questions. What frustrated me most was not just the invoice, it was the canned responses. I asked for the signed order form, the renewal details, and clear answers to specific billing questions. Instead, I got the same recycled explanation about notice periods. If you do business with ActivTrak, watch your renewal date very carefully, because once they renew you, do not expect much flexibility or a real conversation. My experience was that billing enforcement mattered a lot more than customer goodwill.

### "Effective Monitoring Solution"

December 10, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with ActivTrak has been very positive, especially considering the value it provides for the cost. The platform delivers reliable insights into user activity, productivity trends, and workload distribution, which has helped us make better operational decisions. Its reporting tools are intuitive, and the data it provides is easy to understand and apply across teams. While there are areas that could be enhanced, such as more robust visual recording options, the core functionality performs well and consistently meets our expectations. For the money spent, ActivTrak offers strong performance, solid usability, and meaningful visibility into day-to-day operations.

Pros

ActivTrak’s most valuable feature for our organization is its ability to accurately track active time per user. This capability provides clear visibility into how team members spend their time throughout the workday, allowing us to identify productive patterns, spot inefficiencies, and better understand workload distribution. The platform delivers this data in an intuitive, easy-to-read format that supports informed decision-making and continuous performance improvement. By having reliable insights into individual and team activity levels, we can improve scheduling, allocate resources more effectively, and ensure accountability across departments. Overall, the active-time tracking functionality enhances transparency and operational efficiency.

Cons

One limitation of ActivTrak is the snapshot feature, which can feel too restrictive for detailed monitoring needs. While snapshots provide general visibility, they do not always capture enough context to fully understand user activity, especially during critical tasks or potential security concerns. The absence of a true video-recording option further limits the ability to review continuous activity or reconstruct events accurately. Having only periodic images instead of a more comprehensive recording capability can make it difficult to analyze workflow interruptions, investigate issues, or validate productivity trends. Adding a video-based option would significantly enhance the platform’s monitoring effectiveness.

### "Honest review from an IT manager"

April 14, 2026

4.0

Decent experience. as an It manager it was easy to setup groups, create accounts, and client configurations. the biggest downside is maybe the UI. it takes a lot of get used to and is not really intuitive when looking at the more advanced features, so alot of my users did not utilize them. Other than that no complaints!

Pros

snapshots that are instant, and discreet client and support is prompt and precise in our experience.

Cons

Ui is a bit dated. Its hard to se some of the features because they are intuitive enough. I even get confused when trying to explain usage and certain features.

### "Good service but not for companies less than 5 people. "

June 16, 2020

3.0

I really liked the services but felt lied to when the free trial was over. At the check out you find out you have to pay a price higher than advertised.

Pros

Good service, easy to use and lots of nice features. I really would have like to use this services. It was my first choice and would have use it if not for the cost.

Cons

You shows a good price per users but when you go to subscribe it requires minimum of five users. I only needed one user which made the price was very high for me.

### "Tracking Data "

December 15, 2025

4.0

It has been a good experience overall. Whenever I’ve had questions in the past and reached out for help, I received a quick response and clear answers. I really appreciate the fast response and support.

Pros

I like than I can break down the activity daily and per person. I really enjoy using this system because it makes tracking and reviewing data incredibly simple and organized. I like that I can break down activity by each person, which helps me clearly see individual performance and accountability. Being able to view the data per day is extremely helpful for daily monitoring, and the weekly breakdown allows me to easily identify trends and patterns over time. I also appreciate that it provides a lot of data, including both active and inactive activity, which gives a complete picture of what is happening. This flexibility saves time and makes managing data much more efficient.

Cons

Overall, the employee tracking system is useful and provides a lot of detailed data, but it can be a little hard to navigate at times. Some features are not as intuitive as they could be, and it can take extra time to find specific information or reports. Once you become familiar with the layout, it does offer valuable insights and tracking capabilities, but the learning curve can be frustrating at first. With improved navigation and a more user-friendly design, this system could be much more efficient and easier to use on a daily basis.

### "Great visibility into team productivity with a slight learning curve"

April 14, 2026

5.0

Overall, my experience with ActivTrak has been positive. It’s a powerful tool for tracking team productivity and gaining insights into how time is being spent. I especially appreciate the visibility it provides into weekly performance, which helps keep everyone aligned and accountable. While there is a bit of a learning curve, once you get familiar with the platform, it becomes a valuable resource for managing and improving team efficiency.

Pros

I like the ability to see my teams productitivity each week. this really ensures we are hitting our goals.

Cons

The platform can feel a bit overwhelming at times, especially when trying to navigate all the features. There’s a slight learning curve, and it can take some time to fully understand how to use the data effectively.

### "ActivTrack is the productivity tool you need."

April 20, 2026

5.0

My overall experience with ActivTrak has been great. You can start taking action immediately and its easy to do a review so you can make decisions on where to put people. It has increased morale significantly.

Pros

The ability to monitor productivity helps us to put the right people in the right places to maximize our workflow.

Cons

Having to categorize all of the different websites to be able to determine the productive work from the non-productive work.

### "An effective tool to monitor company productivity"

May 22, 2025

5.0

Pros

Easy way to monitor staff productivity and snapshots of workstations. The insights help our leadership know who to keep track of.

Cons

The agent is pretty hit or miss; some of the agent installers will become unresponsive and require some intervention from an admin.

December 9, 2025

5.0

Having this software gave us levels of transparency into our Sales Development Representatives who were based in multiple locations, without this we would be at a financial and productivity loss.

Pros

Detailed reporting of time tracking and websites visited, this was a key piece of software for us when we had remote staff in both the continental USA and South Africa.

Cons

Having to sign up for 1 year of a license is not my favorite, we wanted to do a monthly and at worst every 3 months,

### "Think Twice"

October 10, 2023

1.0

We started the partnership (well we thought it was a partnership) in 2020 when our entire workforce went remote for Covid. We intended to use for productivity coaching but it became too cumbersome to be of any real value. The system never seemed to work just like it should and customer service was awful or none existent. We made the decision to leave for several reasons and even with the issues in the platform and poor customer service, they insisted on holding to the year contract they lock you into. I requested a partial refund for the remaining time and they ran me in circles for 8 full weeks (probably hoping i'd just go away) before they finally got on a call with me, just to try to upsell me more and waste my time. They say they care about a partnership but they have the legal right so no dice. I understand we have a contract but we are always willing to work with our own customers in individual circumstances and I believe we had a strong case to get a partial refund. If you look, they do an exceptional job with their digital marketing to not allow any reviews on most platforms... only on places they can pay to put their fake reviews in and real customers can't comment. That is not the practice of an honest company to me and doesn't let the consumer do real research. There are other platforms out there who do the same thing, while their UI may not be as pretty, their service and functionality ore than make up for the visual shortcomings.

Pros

When it worked, could view live screens or screenshots to use for productivity coaching as well as catch behaviors like job searches early.

Cons

Customer service was atrocious. Agressive with you to get you to buy /renew but abandon you as soon as you pay. Product never worked like it should. Alerts constantly broke. System was agonizingly slow to the point it was almost unusable unless you wanted to pay a full time person to review. The data classification system was not smart - you would expect once you classify a URL as one thing it would remember it but instead had to spend hours each week re-classifying the same thing over and over just to have the data show up correct to be able to coach the team. If you want any of the features or reporting that woudl actually maybe be helpful to give you insights and save you time... expect to shell out more money for each one.

Reason for choosing ActivTrak

They sold us on how much better they were than the competitors. I regret it.

### "Activtrak Review"

December 6, 2021

5.0

It's been an overall great experience, their support is amazing and fast at replying, the agent does what it advertises and it has helped us greatly as of late with all the remote work being done.

Pros

What we like the most is the fact that we can categorize activities as productive or unproductive, this helps us have a more accurate report when checkin out productivity and keeps us well informed of which users are accesing unproductive websites or applications, also the fact that we can customize the schedule in which the agent keeps track of activities since a lot of our employees are woking from home using their personal devices and they can use them withough worries during their free time.

Cons

The installation process can sometimes be difficult as some firewalls and antivirus softwares block the agent from recording any activities, this means that even if the agent is sucessfuly installed we still don't get any records from it on that particular computer, it can be easily solved by adding exceptions to the software but not everyone is comfortable doing so since some are using their personal devices.

### "A way to see what is going on to a point"

September 5, 2023

3.0

ActivTrak is good in some ways but needs very careful evaluation and non excessive implementation, we opted in the end to use other logging and to ensure the message was to employees we aren't sitting watching every move as doing so would alienate a highly already productive team.

Pros

ActivTrak is fairly hidden though can be found by developers/competent IT people who know what to look for and it gives a way to be able to see after a fair amount of customising and configuring. Some elements such as seeing what is being used are useful but also we did seem to be logging quite excessively information we didn't need to capture.

Cons

After spending a while customizing and adding what to track we did start to wonder if this too was taking more time than the benefits and it is also worth noting that ActivTrak doesn't take into account non computer based interactions so you might see a period of inactivity when someone is actually logged into a different system or on a different task then ActivTrak is blind to this interaction. We also noted that there is a risk people within your business think its a bit excessive and similar to forcing employees at home to keep a webcamera on all day.

### "User feedback for ActivTrak"

December 28, 2022

4.0

I have had a very positive experience with ActivTrak. The software is very intuitive and easy to use, and the customer service is excellent. I have been able to quickly set up and monitor employee activity, and have been able to quickly identify areas of inefficiency or potential risk. I have also found the reporting features to be very helpful in helping me to track progress and identify areas of improvement. Overall, ActivTrak has been a great tool for helping me to better manage my business.

Pros

ActivTrak is a cloud based software that allows employers to monitor employee activity in the workplace. It provides real time insights on employee behavior, productivity, and engagement. The software is designed to help employers improve their workplace productivity, reduce cyber security threats, and gain valuable insights into how their employees are using their time. ActivTrak provides comprehensive analytics and comprehensive reports that allow employers to gain a better understanding of how their employees are working and how they can improve their productivity. It is also designed to be easy to use, so employers can quickly and easily set up the software and start monitoring employee activity.

Cons

ActivTrak does not offer a mobile app to monitor employee activity on the go.

September 29, 2023

4.0

We mostly use it to track the activities of problematic people, and help us prevent some incidentes and bad use of the computers and keep safe information of our customers.

Pros

It is a great way to see how your team spends their shifts, if you have problematic people you can see what they are doing by installing an invisible client, this way you can ensure that your equipment is not being missused.It has great reporting capabilities.

Cons

It sometimes does not updates as intended and it can be a bit problematic to delete the client if you want to be secretive.

### "A BPO Essential Tool"

May 25, 2021

4.0

I would say that its worth its price. Ever since we started our Work From Home set up, managing the team has been made easy by ActivTrak. We are able to monitor our team's activities as it relates to their productivity and we are able to keep our word to our clients about protecting their data and prevent any data security breaches.

Pros

I love how it integrates productivity tracking and security in one platform. This is the tool to help you manage your company effectively especially for outsourcing companies like us. It tracks the productivity of our offshore team and generates a comprehensive report that could help assess a staff or a team's needs in their operational day to day activities.

Cons

None. I would say that the features offered by ActivTrak are functional and beneficial. This makes sense because they are open for suggestions and they conduct webinars from time to time where they provide information about a new feature and gather information about what could possibly be a helpful feature in the future.

Reason for choosing ActivTrak

We chose ActivTrak because at that time we thought we needed a tool that would provide us a way to monitor productivity and data security while operating a work from home set up and it indeed does the job.

### "ActivTrak for Family Monitoring"

October 2, 2018

4.0

Overall, it's been simple and easy to install and it doesn't seem to have any performance hit on the computers. Still working out some kinks in how to actually get exactly the info that I need, however.

Pros

ActivTrak is easy to install, free (for my use), and lightweight. I have it installed on the family computer so that I can track my kids' time and then categorize it. We have a system where they get rewards in the form of poker chips and then can spend them on things... like screen time. But I need to be able to differentiate between when they are on their computers doing something worthwhile (like Khan Academy) for which they are not charged any chips and then they are watching YouTube videos or playing Fortnite. That's what ActivTrak let's me do.

Cons

It took me a while to figure out how to get the kind of reports that I wanted out of the system. (I tried making my own based on the logs, first, and that didn't go well at all.) There are still segments of the reports that I don't understand, like an hour belonging to "system processes" or something like that. I think if I spend the effort I'll be able to categorize things like I want them to a little more automatically, but it takes a bit of effort.

### "ActivTrak - Computer usage tracking solved"

October 12, 2019

5.0

Productivity monitoring is the main purpose the software has been used in my organization. It does this quite well. Based on computer usage statistics provided by ActivTrak, corporate firewall rules can be adjusted to address productivity concerns.

Pros

This software is very easy to use and very easy to configure. A very small agent can be installed without a trace, even to the technically savvy. The web-based console does a great job with reporting up-to-date computer usage statics as well as screen shots in real-time. It does exactly what it is designed to do - see and record computer usage. Usage statistics are broken down by application/category which is helpful in determining productivity.

Cons

There isn't much to dislike about the software as it does what it intends to do quite well. The only difficulty I have experienced is the removal of the agent when a system falls out of the scope of monitoring.

### "This is great software for the monitoring "

January 12, 2018

5.0

ease of use and the reporting functionality is great, especially the full audit log of what has been happening on a computer. it even catches title bar data of when users are in incognito or private mode. this is extremely helpful, especially when you have setup screen grabbing and alerting when you have areas of concern that a member of staff is doing something inappropriatre.

Pros

Its not a cheaper solution but it is a better solution if you want more detail into what your employees are doing. It really made the owner cringe at the level of detail we can see what the employees do, he almost thought it was too invasive

Cons

We had some employees who were consistently missing deadlines that they shouldn't have been missing. ActivTrak enabled us to efficiently identify and address some of the employees' problematic behaviors. It worked so well that I actually installed it on my own computer to help me identify areas for improvement.

### "With some product development, it could become a valuable product for basis of billing"

September 30, 2018

5.0

I tried it for a few days, then gave up as it is not meant for what I wanted to use it for.

Pros

I liked that it really did track all of my computer usage seamlessly.

Cons

I found the way to categorize different applications a too cumbersome on one hand and lacking in sufficient detail on other. I wanted to use this software to accurately track how much time I spend on each customer so I would have a proven basis for billing. It is not what it is originally meant for, but the billing activity tracking apps available require too much constant involvement and I hoped to get past that by tracking all my activity automatically and categorizing it to actual projects for billing. However, trying to categorize just few days of my computer usage, it was not just feasible idea. For example, I have gmail address for my personal as well as two different customer accounts, but there was no way to categorize them differently (hint - Title in web browser is different, but this cannot be used as basis for automatic categories).

### "Best Monitoring Software, Period."

February 6, 2018

5.0

Quick and easy reporting about employee activity on work computers. Specifically, productivity, activity log and real time screen viewing.

Pros

ActivTrak does everything you need and nothing you don't. It's user friendly, visually appealing and robust. Additionally, they release the most updates of any related software. I have tried more than six applications for this purpose and theirs is the best.

Cons

The software has a tendency to create multiple "users" (people you are tracking) for the same person. One record for the computer, another for their associated Windows/Chrome identity and sometimes others if they have multiple user accounts on the same computer. This can cause you to have 3 or more user records to track for a single person. You can group them together and use an alias, which is great, but the overall number of users reporting will affect your billing plan.
