Product Manager Education Management ### "A time tracking software that is still in the nascent stage!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 February 13, 2023 Overall, it's not a very encouraging experience with DeskCove. You have to struggle to get even the most basic reports and that's for someone who comes with an IT background. The UI/UX is not user friendly and you have to spend time looking for even the most basic things. Pros Well, their LTD plan was something that drew us to this product initially. It was coming out to be much cheaper that other comparable options available in the market. Cons The software till date is not a mature one. It still lacks a lot of important things and still is buggy sometimes. You can only use it if you have already purchased it. I think people would shy away after a free trial. The support doesn't respond for days and their roadmap is still strewn with lots of features that should ideally be built before launching a product of this type.

Partner Information Technology and Services ### "Full of BUGS and a really pathetic support team!!" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 March 28, 2022 We got DeskCove installed on all our machines and then went on to setup projects and tasks and adding members on DeskCove. That's when we started coming across multiple bugs that are not something that one can't notice straightaway. These are bugs that show that the product is not even tested properly before launching in the market. I tried getting in touch with their support a few times and all they say is that they are working on the bugs and would come out with a new build soon. I told them that without having these issues resolved, I couldn't even use the application but they were non-committal and couldn't provide a solution. Tried writing to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] also, the \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] of the company and an email to him almost 3 weeks back didn't get me any response so far. Pros The screen capturing option that gives you the exact details of what the user was up to. Cons The SUPPORT - it's NON-EXISTENT. It seems that they just disappeared from the face of the planet after you contacted them regarding the issues being faced. Switched from [Time Doctor](https://www.capterra.com/p/129984/Time-Doctor/) The lucrative pricing that we were getting from Deskcove.

Pedro D. Sr. Marketing Manager Consumer Goods ### "Working well after several months of use" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 February 23, 2022 Hopefully the team will focus on constant improvement of software reliability and accuracy rather than additional features. I see that many alternatives in the market tries to do everything but doesn't do a single thing reliable well. Which, in this case is the time tracking. So no crash please! Pros While Deskcove team is newer than other solutions in the market, it appears that the team software development is keeping up with the demand. It works most of the time. Cons The deployment to initial users took longer than expected. The software crashed and it was particularly difficult for users of Apple computers - IOS for which they don't have certification.

CEO Education Management ### "Remote Team Tracking Made Easy" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 January 29, 2022 Initially, when I started my online teaching business, it was supposed to be just me teaching. As I continued to grow, I needed to hire additional teachers to cover classes for other students. It was impossible for me to teach and monitor my other teachers at the same time. DeskCove has solved this issue for me and allowed me to focus more on the quality of my business. Pros I run an online e-learning business and needed a tool to help track my educators. DeskCove has made it easy to know which teachers are working and when they logged in for their assigned classes. They have a dashboard that provides an overview of who has worked, how much they earned, and offers other useful metrics. I love how I can take screenshots during their teaching sessions to ensure they're in the correct class. Cons It can be a bit buggy at times, but if you join their Facebook Group, you can see that their team is committed to improving their product and resolving any current issues.

Also liked that they have a tracking app for Linux. Cons I would like to make additional admin users instead of just one.

With virtual work arrangements, it is more and more important for businesses to have these types of services. Cons The tool is good but occasionally has bugs logging in ( as informed by my team members). But the team is still young, and I am sure it will get the love it requires and outperforms the competitors.

This is much more than just another time clock. It lets you manage your entire workforce with ease and precision. Time and Attendance Made Simple! With Screenshots! Cons There's nothing to like about DeskCove.

Founder Marketing and Advertising ### "One of the best deals I've ever made!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 27, 2021 It works pretty well. It's easy to navigate. My VAs use it daily. There are rarely any issues. Once we had an issue and I got the support to fix it, the support answered immediatelly and fixed it. I think it's one of the best tools I've ever bought. I used to pay so much money to tools like Hubstaff but now I use Deskcove and it's good. Pros I've bought Deskcove a few months ago. I've been using it to track time of my VAs in the last couple of weeks. Pros are: -Inexpensive -Easy to use for users -Easy to use for me \[manager\] Cons Nothing bad so far. Once we had a problem with time tracking but the support fixed it in 1 hour. Switched from [Hubstaff](https://www.capterra.com/p/132376/Hubstaff/) Hubstaff is expensive.
