### "I Love using this app!"

January 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

The software does exactly what I need it to, and then adds in quite a few extras such as the screen shots and website blocking. Very easy to use, and has a decent free version.

Cons

The software is a little bit light in detail on desk top programs such as outlook and word. However a paid version would give me more screen shots, so would fix this I think.

### "This service has provided exceptional insight into lost productivity occurring with certain staff."

February 6, 2018

5.0

Pros

The best part about this software is its stealth capabilities. Staff continue doing what they normally would all the while management has complete insight into their productivity, or lack thereof.

Cons

The worst part about this software is the ability to only have access to three computers at a time. But that is remedied by going for the premium version.

### "Easy to work with and the employees are very nice."

January 11, 2018

5.0

Keeping an eye on my employees. It helps to make sure they stay on task and aren't surfing the web.

Pros

It helps keep extra eyes on what sites my employees are on when I can't be there. I feel like I know what's going on while there online.

Cons

I don't like when the pop up boxes come up. There are to frequent in my opinion and it lets the employees know something is there.

### "So helpful and easy to use."

February 12, 2018

5.0

Accountability and motivation for employees not to surf the web to kill time.

Pros

I can view each individual link that has been visited. Most software doesn't offer this. It also provides a convenient pie chart for easy sorting.

Cons

It is a lot to look through. I wish there was a section where you could look through suspicious websites instead of them all in a list.

### "Very easy to setup and use."

January 12, 2018

5.0

Pros

The ease of setup, along with the user friendly user interface. Took not much time to setup and program works as intended with no additional tweaking.

Cons

Having to pay to get more than 3 pc's monitored. Personal information on screenshots are not blurred, which is a huge security risk for someone that does not know they are being monitored.

### "With ActivTrak, I am able to efficiently monitor the workflow of those I collaborate with."

January 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

The ability to view, in real time as well as a later review of the productivity of my collaborators. I am also able to keep workplace efficiency at a maximum by restricting access to certain websites during active hours.

Cons

Some restrictions may require a little assistance before implementation, but this can be solved using help tools.

### "Tracking is easy and thorough!"

January 11, 2018

5.0

Pros

I'm amazed by all the detail I can see and the formats in which I can see them. I can track by user, computer, etc. I can also define whether or not a certain activity is productive or not. I'm not stuck to a canned list.

Cons

I haven't found anything that I need missing. Might be nice to be able to customize the email reports.

### "I love ActivTrak. I utilize it to monitor multiple devices and have been pleased"

January 18, 2018

5.0

I use this software to track movements of multiple computers

Pros

Pros: The system is easy to use. My favorite aspect is the screenshots that are automatically generated!

Cons

Cons: I wish I had the ability to capture a screenshot in real-time with the free version. I'm not sure if it's a function I'd use, so I'd love to try before buying.

### "Very straight forward and intuitive to use to quickly monitor workstations within a network"

January 18, 2018

4.0

Quick and easy to use software to track users in a computer network system to enable a quiet watchful eye on timescales, operations, programs used etc.

Pros

I most liked the fact that this software was very easy to use and with minimal reading and studying, I found myself using it to quite an in depth amount of detail in a very short space of time. It was very intuitive to use which is a credit to the way it was designed.

Cons

I found the level of detail was so great, that I had to wade through perhaps too much information to get to the parts that I needed to know. It may be the fact that I was doing it wrong, but I needed to filter a lot of info out and condense the data, which I found difficult to do.

### "ActivTrak is an awesome software to keep track of employees productivity."

January 15, 2018

5.0

I was able to see how the team is working and how they spent their time.

Pros

Is invisible, easy to use, the real time screenshots are great, also have the ability to specify which activities are work-related and those that are not.

Cons

The software should allow for more than 3 users and to take multiple screenshots in the free/trial version.

### "Very effective software for determining how productive your employees are."

January 15, 2018

4.0

Better understanding of employees' productivity and use of time.

Pros

I like that I can easily display all of the day's screen shots chronologically and track what the user has been working on all day.

Cons

Narrowing down productive time vs unproductive time seems a little inaccurate, but then again I may not have parameters set properly.

### "Very easy to use. "

January 16, 2018

5.0

Pros

What I liked the most was that it's almost completely undetectable. The chances of someone knowing Activtrak has been installed are almost non existent.

Cons

I did not like that removing it from my computer was more difficult than it was to install and that instructions for removal were not readily available.

### "Amazingly legal way to monitor"

February 6, 2018

5.0

Free, saves me money. In the old days it was the illegal BackOrifice, this is great!

Pros

logs everything. Especially like the web log history. The analysis whether it is productive or not is somewhat helpful.

Cons

I need function to monitor remote webcam, if that's becomes permissible. If not I'd build my own app to take care of that.

### "Very easy to use, support times can be long"

January 15, 2018

4.0

Pros

The feature set for sure. The ability to set up custom filters- assign programs to categories as well as productivity groups makes reviewing computers a breeze.

Cons

The support times aren't ideal, plus having it appear chat style vs a phone call really removes any sense of urgency to get an issue resolved.

### "Does exactly what I need it to do"

January 11, 2018

4.0

Increased employee productivity with just announcing that it is installed.

Pros

Setup was quick and easy. Download and install the client on target computers (regardless of OS) and you are up and running.

Cons

I think the UI is a little clunky, a more streamlined access to reporting and and true Excel output would be great.
