Pros

“It help me to track my daily work routine and track my time spent on various tasks, and it give me a rough idea about my work where I have invested my time for a day.”

Pramod P.

Admission and GTE Assessment Officer

“Desktime has been very useful in the management of work teams, their monitoring and time management, it is a very complete platform.”

Juan M.

Operations Supervisor

“It's fully automatic time tracking which helps in increasing productivity by providing the data.”

Kusum B.

Sr. Affiliate executive

Pros

“What I like about the most with clockify is the fact that I could keep track of the employees clocking in on the sites with the GPS locator as well as keeping track of the billing hours.”

Sheila K.

Admin

“Its project and collaboration features let us coordinate work across articles, billing, and admin-with options to automate so that we spend less time manually tracking time.”

Karen M.

Managing Editor

“The simple design of the interface lets you follow output trends, group work, and log hours easily.”

Lisa P.

Senior Data Analyst

Cons

“it's a bit expensive compared to other apps offering a similar service”

Chansa C.

Board Member

“Medium-sized teams may find it expensive.”

Diego V.

Developer and designer

“The easy subversion of idle tracking and app activity reporting makes this a less useful tool when dealing with non-compliant employees. Though we realize this is a personnel issue at the root, we'd appreciate if this was made harder by the product development team.”

Garrett S.

System Administrator

Cons

“I also found that manual time tracking relies heavily on user consistency, so if timers aren’t started or stopped accurately, it can affect data reliability. While the interface is clean, deeper analytics and automation felt a bit basic compared to more robust time‑tracking tools.”

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“In terms of issues - main one is it is not easy to add additional time stamps whilst system is running - you need to stop current timer - add the additional ones and then restart.”

Daniel W.

Business manager

“The pro trial didn't offer many features I was interested in 6 months ago when I tested it, but now they removed features from the free plan (Billable hours, which is half the reason I used it), so I will be switching.”

Ivan P.

Senior Software Engineer
