Office Manager Graphic Design Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ins & Outs of Web-Based Time Clocks" July 25, 2019 4.0 Meets our very basic time tracking needs. The software user interface could use some polish Pros The Ins: As the HR coordinator & Payroll Admin for a small owner/operated business I really like the simplicity of the system AND the price. It was easy set up & get our team using the software. I appreciate that our front desk tablet can be used by employees to clock in/clock out; as well as all of the other things we use the table for (Square, etc). Unlike "When I Work" which requires a dedicated device for time clock. Cons The Outs: I wish this were an app, rather than a URL website. I'd really like my employees to be able clock in/clock out from their mobile phones, as they work off-site regularly. Secondly, looking at current time cards is messy, there is no mid-day or break/lunch - rather multiple lines of time in/time out for the same work day. Here is where I am vague (and I apologize for that): the system seems clunky and almost too basic. It doesn't allow (easily at least) for employees to clock in for a specific job function or role. Reason for choosing IDEAblox The price. Switched from [When I Work](https://www.capterra.com/p/121248/When-I-Work/) Because their time clock function required a dedicated terminal. Just not practical for a company our size.

Pros Simplicity - it's essentially plug and play. Cons This software is incredibly basic, but not in terms of ease. If you clock in using one browser and for any reason have to move to another browser or use your phone, the data doesn't translate and your time gets skewed. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to whether or not you can use a personal sign in or be forced to sign in as the company first, creating a ton of work for whatever department controls the account (the account must access the software on the machine being used to sign in before the user can access their own personal sign-in). Time is easily editable if you make a mistake, but users cannot be assigned their own editing privileges - each adjustment must be approved by a supervisor or account owner. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Admin Assistant Legal Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great" July 24, 2019 5.0 Very good! Pros Easy to use and to figure out. Found out how to do everything on my own because it was so user friendly. Cons I do wish it had a picture login option, but this would usually be implemented with a tablet. I had previously used a clock in app at a previous company where you checked in and it would take a photo of you when you checked in so no one could fudge or lie about their hours. Wish this software had it, but we use it on our desktop PCs and they don't have cameras so it's not really a big deal. Review Source ST Shawna T. Office Manager Insurance Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Exactly what we were looking for!" July 23, 2019 5.0 Time issues. It saves me time and some of my employees are not able to steal company time as easily as before since there is no reason for them not to clock in at the different locations as well as some other things. Pros I like the price and the fact that both my locations can use it and I don't have to travel to both locations to get the time. I can see exactly who is clocked in and at what time. I can work on their time and time off from my desk throughout the month not just on payday so it doesn't take make it an all day affair. Cons Their are a few kinks still to work out like the titles of my Holiday Sick and PTO etc when I download the time to the spreadsheet but I make do.

It is a low cost software that does the job. It's ease of use is great for any employee. Cons Sometimes the reports are hard to figure out how to obtain. I still haven't been able to find an easy way to print some of the reports I need. Review Source Chris C. Administrative Support Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "IDEAblox review" November 22, 2018 4.0 I helped implement this in my company alongside the controller, and it worked very well for us. Pros What I like most about this review is its relative simplicity. Using this software to transition from paper and pencil to an online payclock was very easy to set up. Cons I really don't have any complaints about this software. Any problems I had while starting initial setup were answered by customer service. Review Source Jennifer Y. Dental Administrator Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Clean and simple!" March 29, 2019 5.0 Pros Perfect for our size of business and much easier than keeping track on paper. Very easy to sign in and immediately clock in. It's also easy to alter hours if a mistake was made. All employees have adapted quickly! Cons Customer service has been great to assist with any questions we had on how to set up and get started! Review Source Response from IDEAblox April 2, 2019 Thanks for the nice feedback. Jack Brianna D. R. Project Manager Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ideablox should be called Timeblox. " April 1, 2019 4.0 Pros IDEAblox allowed us to clock in and out of our small organization. That's essentially what we used it for and not much else. It made payroll organized. Cons A great payroll feature is much more than clocking in and out. This is great for time but nothing beyond. These days it is important to have more HR components than just time. Review Source SW Shawn W. Fitness Director Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worth Every Penny" July 31, 2019 5.0 I am loving how I can update my personal education through the course software, create workouts and programs for all my clients, and work all from a computer at home Pros Easy to use, simple features, and makes connecting with my clients easy Cons I have a lot of trouble finding the right videos/photos that I need to use for my fitness clients. Besides that some of the articles are a bit basic and offer no real information about health Review Source AL Ashley L. Dental Hygienist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Daily Employee Timecards" February 27, 2020 5.0 IDEAblox has been excellent for all of our team members to easily utilize and track their hours worked. Pros I love how easy it is to clock in and out from a computer or mobile device. Its easy to monitor and keep track of my hours for week, vacation time and access previous pay period. Cons Some times it seems that the time clock is delayed. I realize this may be related to the computer the program is being used on. Review Source SS Shon S. Doctor Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Excellent for the cost point" July 23, 2019 5.0 Ideablox has been great, easy to use, great customer service. I have only had to use the service one time myself, and it was easy, quickly answered my questions. Great service!! Pros This is a great software for small business purposes, when you just need a way to get your employees to clock in and out. It is incredibly straightforward and easy to use. Just simply excellent! Cons The only con that I have crossed so far is the reporting functionality. I'd like to be able to drill down into it, and do comparisons, and just simple data analytics. Reason for choosing IDEAblox We selected this product over the others for ease of use and price point. It gives us exactly what we need, and you can work in the interface with ease! Review Source Daniel L. Logistics Specialist Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use time clock" July 23, 2019 4.0 It’s an easy to use, functional time keep. Also can track days off, requests, etc. very good product. Pros Very simple to use. Two clicks and you’re punches in for the day. Cons Software issues. Sometimes punches wouldn’t register. I’d hit punch in, then go to clock out later only to realize the punch wasn’t recorded. Review Source VL Victoria L. Teacher/Glaze Producer Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Small business time clock solution" July 30, 2019 5.0 Pros The system is easy to use and can be accessed from any computer with internet. This makes it easy for small business to have a simple way of accurately keeping time cards. The comment section is also very useful if you miss a clock in/out or have two different hourly rates in the same clock in. Cons You can access the site without having it be secure (https).

July 30, 2019 5.0 This program is with the time and perfect for small business users. Pros I love that this is so easy to use and we are not wasting paper by writing out our timeclock. Plus you can add multiple users and keep track. Love it! Cons There is anything that we do not like about this! Reason for choosing IDEAblox Paper or IDEAblox. We went with IDEAblox Review Source CL Charlie L. Golf Professional Recreational Facilities and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ideablox Review" July 23, 2019 5.0 Pros Clock in/out function is straight forward. Everything is fairly easy to navigate. Cons I like how it calculates the time worked into a decimal number (ex. 7:35 hrs = 7.58), but it only does that for the total hours of an employee. I would like it if it gives the decimal number for each day's hours. Review Source OS Omar S. Manager Wholesale Used the software for: 2+ years ### "IDEAblox" July 23, 2019 5.0 Our experience with IDEAblox has been great. It’s easy for everyone to use and understand. It has enabled us to enforce our attendance policies with ease. Pros Ease of use, Inexpensive, Very functional Cons Sometimes difficult to navigate. Unable to delete time off after approval when an employee decides to cancel time off request. Review Source LB Lisa B. CEO Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ONLINE TIMECLOCK SOFTWARE" July 23, 2019 5.0 Because we can now track employees times (arrivals, tardiness, absences) for multiple locations over one software - this solves a HUGH problem for us. Now we can focus on growing the business! Pros That is was available online meant I did not have to purchase hardware. It also means ALL employees in ALL countries can sign in to the timeclock. Cons Lack of instructions and/or tutorials. Had to play around or figure it out yourself. Support is available - it is just not immediate. Review Source EH Eijah H. Dentist/Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for the Price" July 23, 2019 5.0 Pros I can see my employees' hours all in one place from anywhere. I can delegate the task of reporting payroll hours to an employee. Cons I don't like that once an employee has been terminated, I have to reactivate them in order to view their hours and days worked. Reason for choosing IDEAblox n/a Review Source CK Cynthia K. administrative assistant Individual & Family Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very Helpful & Perfect for the office" July 30, 2019 5.0 Pros Very easy to work with and be able to see the details in front of you. This helped my boss out tremendously when it came time to write my paycheck, and add up my hours. Cons It was a little confusing at first trying to see how many hours total I worked that week because it removed Monday from the week before. That I called customer service and they were super helpful and helped me to figure it out. Review Source AP Ann P. Practice Administrator Mental Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Exactly what we needed" July 23, 2019 5.0 When we (finally) transitioned away from paper time cards, we tried a few different online time card apps over the course of the 6 month transition. IDEAblox ended up being everyone's favorite to use and was by far the most affordable option for us. Pros The cost was a big selling point for us, but it's also super easy for staff to clock in and out, payroll reports are easy for HR to use, and it's a super simple, user friendly design. Overall, it is exactly what we need for a fraction of the cost of other time card apps. Cons We honestly can't say anything negative about this app. Review Source EB Elissa B. HR Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great Program " July 30, 2019 4.0 I enjoy having the ease that employees can clock in and out on their desk tops. previously we were on paper time sheets, what a hassle! I also love that they can see and verify there clock in/ Clock outs to send in payroll. Pros I like that is really user friendly, you don't need a lot of or hardly any training to be able to use or have employees. Cons I haven't found anything that I don't like about his software.

Branch Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "not impressed" July 30, 2019 2.0 I need to stay on top of overtime and be able to track holidays, sick days, vacation days, personal days....not enough options IMHO Pros easy to sign in and out, easy to approve changes Cons getting reports on staff, not user friendly.

Office representative Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great way to manage time on the clock" February 8, 2018 5.0 Pros So user friendly so easy to clock in clock out time adjustments everything is straightforward for employees and for management Cons The only thing that I find as a con is the limited selection of avatars available to employees. And that is not much of a con Review Source Response from IDEAblox February 9, 2018 Thanks Christian, you're right, we'll add more avatars. They also look a bit outdated. Thanks for the suggestion!
