Pros and cons

Advanced Medical Care employees love the ease of use and the management enjoys the user friendly management of employee time.
We have been very satisfied with the product. It has fulfilled the purposes that we have needed it for.
My memories with capterra.com is great. They provide me their best service.I am naturally impressed by their service.
This may be more user problem, sometimes my employee mistakenly logs in twice so when she checks out it is on the wrong one. By no means is this a problem with the software but more user mistake.
Bad is when our internet is down, we can not connect to the server and keep accurate staff hours.
My husband hasn't been the most consistent with tracking and recording which has been a problem when it comes time for me to do payroll.

We have used the TimeFlow clock for our office for 2 years now and we love it.

Reviewed 5 years ago

The time spent on payroll is cut down quite a bit. I allows each individual worker to not only view but print out their hours while keeping the privacy of everyone else's profiles protected by adding a password. It has helped accountability for time worked honest and fair. It also gives great reports for punctuality/tardiness which has helped when doing reviews with each employee monthly.

Pros

Easy to use and easy to log in for each individual employee. The set up for payroll viewing on employees is not only easy to use and navigate but extremely helpful when it comes time to submit payroll.

Cons

To be honest, the only thing that I can even think of is that we update the background depending on season/occasions...it would be nice to have more options for customizing the wallpaper.

Great Time Clock for the Money!

Reviewed 6 years ago

I have 5 Employees that use this everyday. It's easy for them to punch in and out multiple times a day. When I am ready to run time sheets for the week it's simple and easy. I just review everyone's entries and make sure they are correct. If I need to make a change it's super simple and quick. Once the times are correct I can easily run a summary of the time and print that out to log into Quickbooks Payroll. Takes me about 15 minutes every other week. I highly recommend this it's affordable and it actually works.

Pros

Easy to use, Does exactly what I need it to do.

Cons

Sometimes it has weird Defaults I'm sure it's an operator error but I know how to get around them now so it's not a big deal.

Vendor response

Thank you for your review Keli. You can use Parallels on Mac to run TimeFlow. Many of our users do that.

Time flow had to be replaced.

Reviewed 6 years ago

When we changes servers our IT provider spent an entire day with Timeflow support to no avail just trying to switch the program over. Now only available as online clock and we found much less expensive and so far as reliable Timeclock provider and we spent more on our IT rendezvous with Timeflow than buying multiple new licenses.

Pros

It keeps track of time.

Cons

It cost us more than the value of numerous licenses and was still unable to move to our new server.

Overall Good - But Wish It Was GREAT

Reviewed 6 years ago

We use the Duoserve Timeflow as our main Electronic TimeClock. There are many features we like about it, however, it falls short in areas that we would prefer to have....such as different categories for time away such as Birthday, Jury Duty, Funeral or any other categories covering time away. It's not appropriate to lump these absences into "Vacation, Holiday, Sick or Regular". Also, being in the Eastern Standard Time Zone, we have issues getting support when as timely as we would like. Other than those things, we find it suits our needs adequately enough and decent value for the price.

Pros

Easy to use - like the biometric feature and reports easy to read.

Cons

Needs additional features as explained in comments submitted. Support not always available when needed due to time zone differences.

Great software

Reviewed 7 years ago

We purchased TimeFlow software in 2012 to replace a system that used time cards. we have been happy with our purchase.

Pros

I love that my employees can see the time of their last punch when they clock in/out. If an employee forgets to punch in, they see that when they leave. We catch and correct errors much more quickly than we did with a card swipe system.

Cons

Wish there were an "undo" button or that changes would revert to the original punch time unless confirmed in the Admin/management menu. On rare occasion a shift manager has made a change to the wrong day and realized it before saving, but has to remember what they changed to put the original punch back.

Works for Us!

Reviewed 7 years ago

Once we upgraded to the online system it has been incredibly smooth and convenient for our office. We have been using it for several years and have had little to no problems using it.

Pros

Functionality is incredibly easy! We don't have a lot of issues using the software and it's great to have it on multiple computers in the office. Before we were only able to have it on one.

Cons

There are some feature that we don't really use so it would be nice to take those feature off. It was also hard to submit our credit card online after our because the expiration date only went up to 2020. Renewing the service took a lot longer than I was expecting.

Excellent, Easy to use, Employee Time-keeping

Reviewed 6 years ago

We are a small business with 5 employees. From installation to implementation, TimeFlow has been absolutely amazing and painless. Customer Service was very responsive and helpful when we ran into a bump during installation. We installed on a Windows 7 PC, no issues, it has been running without a problem for years now. Employee punching in and out is super easy, especially for those that are not computer-savvy.

Pros

Easy to Use Value for the cost Easy installation Helpful customer service and quick support

Cons

Takes some time to learn all the features, but it's down more to the individual user than the app itself

Good Service

Reviewed 6 years ago

I have always had good feedback and help when requested. Good value for what you get. It took me a bit to learn the Time Flow system, but once learned was very easy to use.

Pros

Easy to use and download at any given time.

Cons

Can be confusing at times on how to change or alter employees punches.

Vendor response

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you find TimeFlow simple to use and user friendly, as well as being a good value for the price. We welcome any and all feedback about features you would like to see, and you can always submit any suggestions through our support forum.

A good program for keeping track of employee hours

Reviewed 6 years ago

Employees can be in charge of tracking their hours rather than supervisors, then administrator just needs to run report to verify hours

Pros

Can run reports, can install on multiple machines and data syncs up, easy to make time sheet corrections

Cons

Reports can be difficult to run (date ranges inaccurate); user interface can be slightly complex for our company's needs; clock in/clock out buttons have low contrast - can be confusing and employees will accidentally clock in/out twice in a row, throws off time sheets

TimeFlow not working due to Technical issues, resolved quick and courteously. incentive for review

Reviewed 5 years ago

Quick and easy way to implement in and out times of all our employees. Great aid in doing payroll

Pros

Simple system for employees to locate their name and put in their password. Also the in and out boxed feature helps to prevent errors. Adjustments can also be make easily if there is an error.

Cons

Overall we have had no real problems. Possibly if the in and out time boxes were highlighted differently or if the time after you hit enter on the box was a bit quicker it would prevent some issues.

Excellent Program

Reviewed 5 years ago

Easy to use. Can put all employees in and change as needed. Can track time efficiently and effectively.

Pros

This program is easy to use. Works well for our small business. Has just the right amount of functions for us to have productive use of a time clock for payroll purposes.

Cons

I am hard pressed to find something that I do not like about this program. We use it with no complaints in our office. We were provided an incentive for this review.

TimeFlow has been a great program to work with.

Reviewed 5 years ago

We are easily able to manager associates and time sheets. It's one of the simplest easiest software I I have used for clocking in.

Pros

I thoroughly enjoy how easy it is to use. The administrative functions are easy to understand and work with.

Cons

I dislike that when the computer is asleep and you use the spacebar to wake up the computer it will automatically clock in/out the clerk who was last clocked in/out.

Decent time clock system. Would like to see some improvements, but it works for our needs.

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Simple clock in/out. I also like that each employee can see the hours they've worked and request sick/vacation days.

Cons

Would like to see a built in schedule that all employees can have access to. And since we are a retail store would love for there to be a way to track employee sales with the hours they worked. Don't know how to get in touch with customer support!

Accurate and simple to use for staff

Reviewed 5 years ago

Time savings

Pros

Simple employee time entry.. There are very few issues when staff enters time in, time out for start of and end of day or during lunches and breaks.

Cons

Some setup areas are quirky. The initial view is hard to navigate so we always switch to trable view. Set up of new employees isn't always simple.

I do not have to add up time cards.

Pros

Easy to use and this is a cost effective program for a small business. We purchased license before it went to a subscription based program.

Duoserve Timekeeping Software Review

Reviewed 7 years ago

We have used Duoserve for seven years and are very satisfied with the ease of use, accuracy, and functionality of the software.

Pros

The software is user-friendly and requires virtually no explanation for new employees to begin using.

Cons

The only issue we have had is transferring the software from one computer to another (e.g. during computing upgrades).

Great Time Keeping Product

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, it was a great product and I would recommend it to others.

Pros

How I could use the product on different computers and devices, it made things so much more easy and manageable on a hectic workday.

Cons

There were often mispunches that couldnt be fixed unless by a supervisor, so it made things kinda unneccesary when clocking in and out.
