Excellent product
Overall I am very happy with the product. The customer service is exceptional. I cannot rave enough on that. I always get a response almost immediately and that in itself makes this an awesome product.
PROSIt's very easy to use and implement. The customer service is awesome.
CONSI cannot enter our holidays across the board for all employees. I have to enter each holiday for each employee individually which is very time consuming. Also wish there was a way to make a group punch, such as when we were closed due to power outage or because of a hurricane evacuation, etc..... and employees received admin leave with pay. I had to enter each one individually. Our employees are not allowed to enter or make adjustments on their time sheets. They can only clock in and out.
Reason for choosing honeybeeBase
Price and service. Most other products offered the same functionality, but honeybee just seemed more friendly to me and price was better. Since I'm the payroll person I got the biggest vote.
Reasons for switching to honeybeeBase
Cost savings and quest was no longer being supported.

Great Dev Side - Maybe Some UI improvements
Solid. Easy for my managers to communicate, easy for clocking in and out, the application itself is quick. 9/10 just a bit too dated on the HTML/CSS/ JS side.
PROSWell, it works. Buttons go where you need them to. Clocking in and out is the main point and it's easy to do. I've never had any api call or server errors. Everything seems up to speed.
CONSIt's a bit of an eyesore. I like the idea of a top nav with icons, but I'm not always sure which one to click on. I don't think you should have to think about a nav bar. Also, there's a lot of extra stuff on my home dashboard that I just don't need. I just need the clock in/out / break section, and the number of hours ive worked that week. The notifications on the left usually aren't that useful to me, but I can see why they're there. Beyond that, I rarely scroll to the bottom. Also the icons throughout look extremely outdated. Maybe it's the combination with the color palette? Maybe white icons? I get the honeybee idea, but I'm not sure all of the icons need to be black or with such heavy line weights.

Great Tracking!
We have been able to drastically reduce out absenteeism and tardiness, the employees are held accountable for their actions and can see it in one dashboard. Prior to this we did not have a time clock, and had tons of late employees as well as tardy employees. the point system for absences was a great way for the employees to realize the amount of call offs they made
PROSThe ease of seeing all reporting employees in one location
CONSI had some issues when attempting to export the reports for payroll records

Great Software
I like that I am able to setup multiple departments within a company but for many that would be different physical locations. Instead of that function I would like to see site functionality button. So I can setup different locations.
CONSThere is not much I do not like about the software. The worse part would be the breadcrumbs (the link clicking) do not always take you back to where you were.

Time Sheet
I like how easy it is to use and the ability to see my timecard and punches in real time. Being able to keep track of my hours down to the second is extremely helpful.
CONSSometimes the app lags however when this occurs I am always able to just login online.
Reasons for switching to honeybeeBase
switched from a manual time card machine because the cost was too high and it did not always track hours correctly.

"Tracking my students at clinical"
We did a trial semester then a full semester and now are continuing to use the product.
PROSI could easily get a message from my students when they arrived and left clinical. I could text back and forth with my group. I could follow their attendance. I could document if they were late.
CONSMy students forget to sign in or out. It needs an alarm clock reminder.

We have worked through some of the quirks and are becoming more familiar with it.
PROSI like the look of the software and it is somewhat easy to use.
CONSI wish they would tell you during the trial period that there isn't really phone support to help you set your organization up.
Vendor Response
Thank you for the feedback! Our phone support is available to both subscribed clients and those on trial to make sure we help you get your account up and running. Sometimes we do experience higher call volume that may require you to leave a message on our support line, but our team will always try to return your call as soon as possible. We are also always happy to provide email or web conference support as well!

Not Impressive
Overall it seemed to me that this software is not as useful or as good as we had hoped it would be.
PROSThis software made it easy to track our hours either through mobile or using a tablet when walking into the office.
CONSMy major complaint is that it does not load and send data fast enough. For example, if you go to log out it takes a few seconds to confirm you actually logged out.

10/24/18 Environmental Laboratory Review
Customer service is outstanding. Honeybeebase worked with us to create a function for paid time off based on custom dates versus date of hire.
PROSThe ability to see real time employee Human Resource information, the ability to assign users to a specific supervisor, the ability to assign rights to users, user access to paid time off accruals and a web based time clock system. The software also provides a means to create quizzes and print certificates. The customer support team provides on-line training, answers questions promptly by email and helps populate users in the software.
CONSHoneybeebase provide on-line training but as with any new software product it is a little difficult to find some of the functions.

The glitches are frustrating, great idea though
PROSThe ability to clock in or out when visiting other sites or offices and not being tied to a time clock or computer with a certain program
CONSThe software does not always work. I can clock out and come back into program and it shows that I am not clocked out. So there has to be a time fix.

It's okay but time off feature is weird
Shows total hours clocked in a week, one-click clocking in, people using it for scheduling have a lot of functions, cute bees
CONSPTO requests are clunky, dependent on internet so can take a while to load, something on the admin level is probably unclear bc we've had some confusion over how time off requests are processed

Easy, Inexpensive, and just what we needed!
We were using call logs previously to track our employee hours, time off, etc. It was SO much work. Once we implemented Honeybee, it went SO much more smoothly. And the integration with QuickBooks is an added bonus!
PROSI love the ease of use for the employees clocking in and out, sending notes to their supervisors, and overall time-tracking.
CONSIt took me just a little bit to figure out some of the in-depth settings, like locking it to a specific terminal, but with the help of their Customer Support, we got it figured out pretty quickly.

A very complete application for resource and time management
It is a very useful application that helps any company that has the software with its management of time, resources, and even employees, it offers a wide range of tools that help this management in many ways.
PROSAn advantage of HoneyBee is that it is easy to use for companies of any sector and size, it contains many tools that help with time and resource management
CONSIn my personal experience it was a little confusing at the beginning, because it feels like the interface is not intuitive and does not help with the use of the program, it takes a little getting used to at the beginning.

Why I don't care for HoneybeeBase
I miss our old system where I could tell when my coworkers where out of the office or easily tell how many hours I'd work or how many vacation days I had left and didn't mysteriously malfunction so it looks like I worked all night or never returned from my lunch break. Now I don't even like bees.
PROSI am straining to find anything I enjoy about HoneybeeBase except for bees. I like bees.
CONSThis software is cumbersome and frequently logs me out or in.
