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

“The video recording and playback of user activity is incredibly valuable. If there is a dispute or a major mistake in a project, we can easily look back at the video logs to see exactly where the workflow broke down.”

Noel D.

Data Analytics Officer

“Because the system collects such a vast amount of data, some of the analytical reports can feel excessively detailed if you are only looking for a quick, high-level operational overview.”

Leonardo M.

Partner

“Unlike basic screenshot tools, this makes it nearly impossible for users to cheat the system and provides full context to employee actions.”

Leonardo M.

Partner

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

“Some features like stealth mode done not supported in Non-Window platform.”
