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 Also the icons throughout look extremely outdated.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.

Budget Friendly Employee Time Management
For day to day use, the platform is fine. honeybeeBase meets our current needs and we've been happy with the customer support and overall price point.
PROSThe software is simple to use once you understand its application. For a simple time management tool, it is priced very well and works for our small office.
CONSThe design is relatively simple and navigating to where you need to be can take a few unnecessary steps.

"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.

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.

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.

Ease of use and access to my information
I think all the people in our department are very satisfied with the program. I am only a user. The administrators may be able to say more.
PROSThe software is very user friendly. It provides access, in detail, to all the information I need about my working hours, etc. It gives speedy access which I like a lot.
CONSMy use of this software is at a basic level but so far there is not much I would complain about.

I think this is one of the easiest time recording systems I've ever used before. Like I said before, the interface is user friendly and intuitive.

New User- Some navigation difficulties
I have only been using this software for about a week and only use it to clock in and out of work. Overall my experience has been positive.
PROSI like how easy it is to clock in and out of work using this software. The punch card page itself is great and easy to use
CONSWhile keeping in mind, that I have only been using Honeybeebase for a little over a week I find it difficult to navigate. I have had some difficulty locating a record of my time clock and navigating back to the punch card page.

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.
