October 21, 2020 5.0 I used to use a time tracking software but it didn't take screenshots and remind me of idle time. I like both of the features because it gives some accountability. Pros It is very easy to use and the design of the platform is clean and easy to understand. Cons I liked other software to download an app,I don't believe this app has that option.

President Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Managing remote project teams across sites is now seamless" November 18, 2025 5.0 Project management efficiency has seen remarkable improvement. Administrative overhead has decreased. This system delivers excellent value for construction management. Pros Monitask provides excellent visibility for project management teams. Time tracking helps accurately allocate hours across job sites. Activity monitoring ensures administrative staff maintain focus. Mobile accessibility allows checking team status from anywhere. Cons Field staff adoption required additional training sessions. Offline functionality could be more robust for remote sites. Integration with construction software needed customization. Review Source SS Saurabh S. Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Missing features" December 19, 2019 3.0 Overall I liked this system but without few features mentioned above, it will be difficult to use it for long term. Pros User friendly interface, Required reporting features. Main thing I liked about this is ability to select currency for each individual separately. Cons It do not have some of the features like 1) We can not provide access to client for reviewing project and where time is consumed 2) It do not have a way to put non billable hours. For example, if I have worked 5 hours on a project and want to bill my client only 2 hours. I can not do that. I have to delete 3 hours in order to do it but I need those 3 hours information for future reference. 3) It do not Integrate with task management software like Office 365, Jira 4) Good to have video recording feature apart from screenshot Alternatives considered [Time Doctor](https://www.capterra.com/p/129984/Time-Doctor/)[Hubstaff](https://www.capterra.com/p/132376/Hubstaff/)[DeskTime](https://www.capterra.com/p/168660/DeskTime/) Reason for choosing Monitask As of now I am mostly using Hubstaff because of missing features I mentioned.

Medical VA Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Efficient Productivity Tracking with Minor Drawbacks" September 19, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Monitask has been positive. It helps me stay organized, track productivity, and manage tasks effectively. While there are minor drawbacks, such as occasional connectivity issues, the platform is generally reliable and useful for time management and accountability. Pros I liked most about Monitask is that it provides clear and detailed productivity tracking, making it easier to monitor tasks and manage time efficiently. The reporting features are also helpful for staying organized and accountable. Cons Liked least about Monitask is that the tracking can feel a bit intrusive at times, and the interface is not always very intuitive. It also requires consistent internet connection, which can be inconvenient. Review Source PG Punnet G. Chief operating Officer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effective Time-Tracking Tool That Enhance Project Accountability" November 19, 2025 5.0 Monitask improved our billing accuracy, clarified workload distribution, and strengthened transparency across client-facing consulting teams. Pros Accurate tracking, helpful productivity reports, and easy oversight for consultants working across multiple clients projects. Cons Lacks deeper integrations with several enterprise project-management platforms our consulting teams rely on daily, creating occasional workflow disruptions. Review Source SB Sophie B. Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A perfect tool for tracking remote creative teams" June 30, 2025 5.0 We use Monitask to track time for billing and team performance across our remote marketing team. It has increased transparency and helped us reduce timesheet disputes. We’ve also caught workflow issues we wouldn’t have noticed without it. Pros Monitask makes it incredibly easy to see who is working, what they’re doing, and how long they spend on each task. The screenshot capture feature gives us a transparent view of progress without interrupting the designers or writers. I also like the breakdown by activity level — it helps with our team retros. Cons Very minor, but I wish the visual analytics had dark mode or more theme options. The current dashboard works well but could feel more modern visually. Review Source SG Selenia G. Founder and Lead Designer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Reliable Time Reporting for Creative Work " June 26, 2025 5.0 This tool has made my life so much easier in preparing reports. Before, I had to gather notes and calculate hours by hand, which took time, but now Monitask takes care of that automatically and accurately. So I can invoice faster and avoid misunderstandings with clients. The tool is a success! Pros Monitask helps me keep track of time for each project, allowing me to accurately record what I spend on reviews, design, client, and strategy. In addition, their reports are very complete, smooth, and ready to use when I need to invoice, which has saved me a lot of time. Cons Having a mobile app would give you much more flexibility. The desktop version works well, but being able to review reports or view activity from a cell phone would make the day-to-day work much easier. Review Source CG Charlie G. Project Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Transformed our software development monitoring" April 14, 2025 5.0 Gives us visibility into complex development workflows without interrupting programmer focus. We can see which parts of our codebase require the most attention and where we might need additional resources. Has reduced our need for status update meetings significantly. Pros We rely heavily on the project tracking integration to monitor our 30-person development team. Being able to see which applications developers are using throughout the day helps us allocate resources more effectively. The automatic screenshot blurring for sensitive information protects our intellectual property while still verifying productivity. Cons Would like more granular permission settings for different team lead roles. Review Source CW Colton W. Project Management Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Perfect for our distributed accounting team" April 14, 2025 5.0 Provides accountability for remote workers handling confidential information. We can verify that staff are following security protocols and focusing on assigned tasks. Helps us maintain client confidentiality standards while allowing flexible work arrangements. Pros Our accounting firm uses Monitask to monitor our remote staff handling sensitive financial data. The URL tracking feature gives us peace of mind about data security and ensures staff are only accessing approved websites. The idle time detection helps us distinguish between research time and actual inactivity. Cons Occasionally need to refresh the browser to see the most current status updates.

HR Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Would Recommend to Companies" October 15, 2025 5.0 We are fairly new to using Monitask but it is working well so far with our office employees. It is easy to monitor and quick to turn on and off daily. Pros Being able to view each click and get notified about productivity using different metrics. We are able to track the full history of each employee too. Cons Sometimes it is challenging when setting up new users to ensure certain boxes are ticked so we can track their productivity and set them up properly Review Source MS Mila S. agent Real Estate Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly recommend " November 5, 2024 5.0 10/10 so far, great piece of software and a fantastic team! Pros It's a very powerful piece of software, I had an onboarding call with \[sensitive content hidden\] and learned that it has literally all the functionality that I needed - just had to figure out how to get set up. The \[sensitive content hidden\], has also been incredibly responsive - you don't normally get this type of attention with any software.. Cons for someone who's not very familiar with this kind of tech, i was just overwhelmed with all the options but that was solved by having an onboarding call.

Talent Acquisition Specialist Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "GOOD FEATURES" October 3, 2024 5.0 People generally appreciate Monitask for its simplicity in tracking time and productivity, especially for managing remote teams. The automated screenshots and activity monitoring can be helpful for employers but might create a sense of micromanagement if not communicated well. Pros I like the options were I can see the employees productivity, number of hrs work and their inactive status specially for over lunch and over breaks. Screenshots help us in monitoring the productivity of our employee. Cons The screesnhots. All its features are great. Switched from [Connecteam](https://www.capterra.com/p/153140/Connecteam/) It is not that effective and we need more accurate time tracking software to track and monitor all our employess productivity. Review Source EC Emily C. Marketing Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for small teams " July 17, 2024 5.0 It's been great and very simple. We initiated with the free trial and were able to use the software freely before purchasing, which helped us determine that it satisfied our needs. Pros It allows no minimum number of users, which is great for small teams. Many remote tracking tools have minimum user requirements which end up costly and unused. The screenshots are always accurate and clear and the productivity indicator is really useful for reviewing hours. Cons More tools in the subscriptions for smaller teams. Alternatives considered [Teramind](https://www.capterra.com/p/172645/Teramind/) Reason for choosing Monitask They had a minimum user requirement to purchase which we didn't need. Review Source RN Ruchel N. Assistant Entertainment Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "My Trial Days in Monitask" December 13, 2023 5.0 It's great and not half bad. I felt bad about that my trial ends and I can't do even a thing to get my alloted time. I actually used it on my work so yeah 40/100 rate. Pros Easy to understand, very efficient and I can monitor my time effectively. I also like the transparency of it. Cons I thought it was free then trial is too short and when the trial ends I don't know if I can retrieve my Time Tracking there, it doesn't even allow me to check my status. It actually compromise my time availability and I can't do my invoice now. Switched from [Toggl Track](https://www.capterra.com/p/247745/Toggl/) I can't retrieve my time tracking due to the fact my trial ends and I can't do a thing about my profile.

Owner Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great Employee Monitoring Software" April 24, 2024 5.0 Pros I have used a few other ones such as Hubstaff, and ActivTrack. Monitask is so much better and the pricing structure is also better than these competitors. Cons User-Friendly - Payment options, schedule tracking Switched from [ActivTrak](https://www.capterra.com/p/135366/ActivTrak/)[Hubstaff](https://www.capterra.com/p/132376/Hubstaff/) I have used a few other ones such as Hubstaff, and ActivTrack.

Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great product" May 29, 2025 4.0 So far so good. Installation went smoothly yet some things one has to study how to set up. Possibly it would be wise to highlight the most important features and keep the advanced settings somewhere in a separate area to make it easier to use. Pros it's a very complete product, very nice that you can specify projects. I like also the screenshotting feature so that you can see back what you've been working on. Cons I still have to dive deeper into it to figure out how it works, which might be a minor drawback. Lot of features that I am not sure if I all need.

Software Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Task tracking and manager" October 21, 2021 4.0 Pros Monitask is important for my workflow, as they offer an easy way to track and time track my task. I usually collaborate it with my team, and we can monitor easily the task progress and intervention that are needed for the task. The notification will be sent either by email or on the notification central for the task that has reach its dateline and still not marked complete. Cons Monitask has limited logs or history for the time tracking. It only store the logs for the last 2 weeks and nothing after it. I make the auditing process is harder as i will need to save the logs manually before it disappeared.

CEO Telecommunications Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "good value- full feature set & supports multiple monitors" August 8, 2020 4.0 our full team, everyone including management and owners, uses this tool. We found it very helpful to keep us on task. Pros Full feature set, ability to screen capture more than one monitor, and ability to update task comments in between/independent of screen captures - this allows the team to note key items as they come up. Pricing is fair. Cons minor...no direct way to go from the tool to the www dashboard. Need to click 'enter manual time' then go from there. Reason for choosing Monitask we reviewed many of the very good product offerings in the space. Monitask went to the top of the list for us due to its rich feature set, ease of configuration, and not overly costly.
