Pros

Very simple to access, no redirecting to other pages I think everyone can be capable to use it. I like the reporting and ability to download the data, the TSheets is clean is smart.
Customer service is excellent, good help line, they meet our needs at the office. my self would recommend my friends and family to try on this platform.
The customer service is superb, tailoring tutorials to your needs. I've talked to several different customer service onboarding specialists and they all were great.

Pros

It's a nice and clean experience, highly recommended, I like the weekly reports and the way you cna see the information with amazing detail.
Absolutely thrilled to be using this. Provides One of the best customer care experience.
Thanks to the friend who recommended this to me. As company CEO and start-up, I would strongly recommend this.

Cons

Since I have to complain, I would say that some of the windows and sub windows scroll in odd ways and are sometimes difficult to scroll through.
The time off notification confused the users sometimes, when the admin changes the time off info, it should not send the notification to user, the user will get confused when did I do that.
Having to manually add payroll mapping each time a new employee is added seems ridiculous - this should be more seemless as it syncs with QuickBooks.

Cons

This is a problem, and ultimately the reason I stopped using Desktime.
Sometimes I may need to edit or add a block of private time, but I'm unable to do so.
I can’t imagine the company culture you would build watching your staff this closely. In a low unemployment economy, what employees would put up, with this software reporting to their boss all day.

A valuable addition to your project management.

Reviewed 3 years ago

I have been using this software for 5 years now and it really helps to keep me motivated to complete my hours. It is one click use application. The listing of recent projects make it easy to switch time tracking.

Pros

Time Tracking, Idle time monitoring, tab list, screenshots and many more.

Cons

Once time has been deleted then there is no way to recover it back. Sometimes it becomes difficult to navigate and look for information. More UX is required in web app.

Review after using DeskTime for each employee in my company for 2 years

Reviewed 2 years ago

DeskTime was implemented in our organization to track employees' activities and to measure how someone is productive. In a way, it does the job. But still, it lacks a few things. Like someone has done a job in an hour with more worth than others do in 6 hours. Still, that guy will not be listed as a top productive person.

Pros

Time tracking, activity tracking, screenshots, employee monitoring. project and task wise time tracking.

Cons

absent, leave, and holiday features are not adequately implemented. I would also like to use this software for attendance, but it's not possible.

Review from a freelancer

Reviewed 8 years ago

I use the time tracking to see the tendency of time wasting or to be sure I useful spent time . But after a year of using the desk time I still not found the suitable pipeline for myself: "Should I use a private time or not?". Sometimes I need moderation of recorded time, like a mark the piece of time as a private time, or opposite.

Pros

Good UI (I can see a tendency), easy to use

Cons

Not enough moderation/edition tools to control the records.

Keep track of your activities

Reviewed 6 years ago

I liked it, I didn't love it - the product works as intended, I don't know if it's the best tool for me in how I work, and I don't need to micromanage my team's time. I may try using it again, I'd definitely recommend it if you're analytical and have issues with focusing on one task.

Pros

I like that it showed how I was REALLY spending my time. Working for a consulting firm, our product is essentially time, and this highlights inefficiencies in how I spend my time throughout the day on time stink sites.

Cons

I found myself not using that that often - I keep tabs open all the time, and I wasn't sure how accurately it was tracking my time in how I used apps and websites.

Hi there, Roochira! Thank you for the review! To help manage your timeline, you can integrate your Google or Outlook calendar into your DeskTime account. To do so, head over to the Integrations section and use the 'Activate' button on the respective calendar. Once you integrate a calendar, DeskTime will take note of the events entered in the calendar.

Automatic time tracking & reports are the best features in my opinion. It saves a lot of time at the end of the month & also helps my self to review my performance from time to time. Setting up & using the system is like child's play

Cons

Offline data is lost if the system is restarted before the connectivity is established. I work for a project in west African country where the connectivity is unpredictable. This makes it a bit difficult when I travel to the site & I have to be mindful to not to restart the laptop during downtime.
