Couldn't live without it

I think I'm one of the early adopters and I've seen it evolve over the years. I always liked how they added new features and constantly improved the product. It's very easy to use, intuitive, and it gives me everything I need from a time tracking app.

PROS

Love the fact that it captures everything I do on the computer. Even if I forget to track work on a certain project, I can always retrace my steps and assign the minutes/hours manually. The productive/unproductive categorization is very beneficial to have a bird's-eye view of my activity. I've used it in parallel with Toggl for a long time and Desktime was superior on so many levels.

CONS

I haven't yet found things I don't like about it.

Great for self-control

I work from home for more than 3 years now. I am not self-employes, so I wanted to make sure that I am at my desk for the time I promised and that I am working productively. This tool does exactly that. In addition, finally it has easy way of adding time to projects. I would use this to calculate how much time I spend on extra projects not directly related to my daily tasks.

PROS

It really helps me to understand did I work 8 hours today and was I not wasting time on Facebook or other things. I like the green design. It makes me tune in positive and productive.

CONS

I would like an extended possibility to add programms, headers, meetings from outlook automatically to projects. So like marking apps as productive or unproductive, there might be option to mark them as belonging to specific project. And I would also like to have a slightly cheaper plan as even though I belong to a company I have installed and pay for this alone and use it for my home office purpose only.

Reason for choosing DeskTime

I liked the design, the ease of marking applications productive or unproductive, great statistics. And the adding timeslots to projects. And also I know it comes from Latvia, so a little patriotic and pride :)

Let's wrap it up a little more nicely

It's a fairly accurate measurement and shows my time and project productivity during busy work. Users can check their productivity while working on various projects without having to make a separate selection.

PROS

No special setup is required. That's it. It provides some additional features, but it is a cost that is reluctant to incur additional costs. Even now, it seems expensive for its features. Among the exercise apps, STRAVA makes an effort to communicate with various data and customers. Change the design you want to buy with more beautiful and effective data and features. Arouse curiosity.

CONS

I want you to think about UI design and color selection for the same programs. Green has a lot of nice coverage too. Otherwise, the current green color may decrease the value of Desktime. The overall homepage interface and S/W UI need to be improved. I want it to look plausible when I introduce it to others. The charts are also not that professional. Today's productivity week, month can be selected, but the data that accumulates Don't have an idea to show your users effectively?

Great tool for helping remote-work employees stay productive.

Overall, DeskTime has been a very useful tool for us.

PROS

I love the dashboard, both for admin use and for the employee view. There is much good information to see at a glance. The reports/exports are also very useful.

CONS

I would love to see a task management system (including daily/weekly recurring tasks) be implemented in DeskTime instead of having to use an external program.

Reason for choosing DeskTime

I preferred the dashboard and ease of use more.

Reasons for switching to DeskTime

It was too cumbersome for daily use by employees and therefore not accurate when not used correctly.

Feedback for Desktime as Consistent User

Overall I am quite satisfied as many of my problems have a solution with Desktime.

PROS

Time tracking, billing, ideal time, productive time, activity tracking - as HR Head these features have helped me a lot to monitor my employees' work. The best part is integration, also we don't really have to log in, we simply have desk time running in the background, so no more reminding employees to fill in their timesheets.

CONS

If this could have helped us in Project Management, assigning tasks, checking their task completion, mentioning other EOD reports, etc, this software would have been more helpful to me. An added advantage would be reminders for tasks or other functions related to my department especially.

Reason for choosing DeskTime

There are many functions provided by Desk time to track employees as compared to our previous software.
