Fingerprints and Camera

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I can view my time card and the details of when I punched in and out very clearly. I can submit requests for time off and get a notification if it was approved. I’m not sure how the camera actually works (is a picture taken of you when you click on and out?!) but the fingerprint scan works well.

Cons:

The only con I have is that sometimes to system freezes and it takes so long to load.

NOVAtime, Time tracking for future generations

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Value for money

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Novatime makes it easy to track times for employees and gives them everything at their finger tips. They have been amazing and have allowed our employees to track their times, clock in and out from work, directly from their phone, and allows them to track everything they need to track.

Cons:

The integration with our time clocks has been terrible. The UKG interface with NOVAtime has caused a lot of issues over the last few months.

Functional, but Could be Improved

Overall it’s a mostly positive experience. I dislike changing pages after entering time without saving and my requests that I entered being erased. I also dislike that when I’m entering a time off request the time box automatically assumes the time is AM so you have to manually change it to PM. That seems a bit unnecessarily clunky to me.

Pros:

I like that it tracks my use of time so I know what type of time I have available and how much sick, personal or comp time I have left.

Cons:

I dislike that when you’re entering time off requests if you switch pages and forget to save what you entered it disappears and you have to start all over.

Time Clock Software that Conforms to YOUR Business

I am able to view employee punches and information in real time, rather than having to pull the time into the software manually. The software is fast, reliable, and can be further configured to meet needs other than time-keeping. The users are happy because they need go no further than their own computers to enter their time, and I don't have to hunt down their paperwork. Novatime has made my work life infinitely easier!

Functionality

Pros:

I love the way you can configure reports to suit your needs. Output is available in whatever office media you need for it to be. There are many standard reports that you can use as-is, or tweak for your own specific information.

Cons:

It is not as data-entry friendly as I would like. That is to say, the number of times a user has to go from keyboard to mouse to make changes is high, and therefore time consuming.

Reasons for choosing NOVAtime

The other products we looked at were comparable in software functionality and clock reliability, but Novatime's pricing had them all beat!

Reasons for switching to NOVAtime

Our old time keeping system was so out-dated we were using DOS! There was time to shop around and we found that Novatime had the best software and clocks for the price. It was the price, however which was the kicker. Much lower than its competitors at the time.

Clocking in and out with ease!

I've been using Novatime for the past 4 to 5 months now. It's loads pretty fast, however, after they added a few more tabs to it recently, it has slowed down a bit.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

1) Faster: We use Novatime to clock in and out for our 8 hour shifts. However, our office is on the 7th Floor and it takes time to get up there because of really slow lifts. It's really efficient to clock in through Novatime through someone else's computer by typing in our Employee ID and Password instead of waiting for our systems to load up. I say this because we are using WorkDay and Novatime simultaneously. You need to sign into WorkDay from your designated system only :( And in my company, the later you log in, the later you log out. 2) Easy To Use: Novatime is easy to use and configure according to the needs of an organization that chooses to use it's services.

Cons:

1) Leave Balance: Leave Balances are hard to understand for people who are new to the corporate world. This is where WorkDay is much better and easier to understand.

Functionality

Pros:

Our original implementation manager was extremely helpful in helping us in trying to initiate Novatime for our staff, however, after she retired we had little to no support

Cons:

Novatime was outdated and the bridge to our payroll system never functioned properly causing our HR/Payroll team to have to manually enter non-productive time (PTO, Sick, Personal)

Reasons for choosing NOVAtime

I was not part of the planning team when the product was purchased. I was only part of the implementation and go live.

Good Time Entry Tool

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

NovaTime is a tool that is focused on timesheet collection and so is pretty straight forward. Our company used NovaTime for several years with very few issues. As a manager, I approve my team's weekly timesheets through the system and it is a quick process. The time can also be edited during approval, which can be convenient when someone submits a mistake that needs to be corrected.

Cons:

If an employee makes a mistake they are unable to edit their timesheet after it is submitted for approval. If the time has not already been approved by the manager, it would be convenient to allow the employee to update their timesheet. If time has already been submitted and needs to be corrected it has to be done by the manager during approval.

Pros:

I like that it is on the cloud so we can get information from our employees and for our own timecards easily and efficiently to the appropriate people.

Cons:

Lack of flexibility in terms of different type of employee types (we run a gym where many different employees may have multiple job codes) makes it somewhat difficult to manage.

Timecards

NOVAtime has provided the services we needed from them. No matter what program you use there are quirks associated with them and this one is no different. For whatever reason I can only log in from clicking the link on my desktop. When I click a link from an email notification it doesn't recognize me. Just weird. The reporting function is cumbersome but does provide a lot of options for reporting which is useful as long as you can figure out how to extract what you need. Overall happy with the product.
