Pros

“Its design ensures users can quickly understand how to access the various tools and features, making it accessible even to those unfamiliar with similar platforms.”

Javier T.

OPERATIONAL MANAGER

“A lot of time-tracking tools get bogged down with extra features, but this one focuses on doing the basics well—clocking in/out, tracking hours, and generating payroll-ready reports—without much friction.”

Jonavie S.

Enrollment Specialist

“About once or twice a week, it will either fail to clock me in or clock me out early, which requires me to manually correct my timecards to ensure my hours are accurate.”

Andrea B.

Administrative assitance

Pros

“Not only can we communicate with staff and update scheduling, there are forms for staff retention as well as a reward system that we can use to keep our staff motivated.”

Christina K.

Manager

“We have a few different roles in our business and it requires each of them to have their own shift with that when updating the same shift I wish there was some way that we could update the shift once instead of having to change each one for the different role eg: connected shifts.”

Courtney M.

Operations Coordinator

“I also appreciated the customization options, which made it possible to tailor workflows and features to suit different business needs. Although some advanced features require higher-tier plans and setup can take time initially, the software overall improved organization, accountability, and day-to-day efficiency within the team.”

Allen W.

Rollingstock Maintenance Team Leader

Cons

“However, I cannot edit within the employee information when this happens unless a password resent link is sent to the patient, which means I have to wait on the employee - I have mostly given up when this has happened a few times, because it is not worth the extra time.”

Malinda C.

Manager

“However, that experience is hindered by recurring technical glitches that cause the system to drop punches or clock me out early once or twice a week. While the tool is easy to understand and use, its reliability needs improvement to eliminate the need for frequent manual timecard corrections.”

Andrea B.

Administrative assitance

“It doesn’t feel particularly modern, and if you’re expecting deep customization, advanced analytics, or seamless integrations with a bunch of other platforms, it can start to feel a bit limited over time.”

Jonavie S.

Enrollment Specialist

Cons

“We discovered during payroll processing that regular, overtime, and vacation hours were not transferring correctly, resulting in all hours being imported as regular hours.”

Anthony S.

CIO

“Notification fatigue risk – With chats, updates, tasks, and alerts all in one app, employees can sometimes feel overwhelmed if notifications aren’t managed carefully.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“The current layout tends to focus on upcoming items, making it less intuitive when trying to review past events or quickly view an entire month's schedule at a glance.”
