Verified user reviews

GetApp maintains a proprietary database of millions of in-depth, verified user reviews across thousands of products in hundreds of software categories. Our data scientists apply advanced modeling techniques to identify key insights about products based on those reviews.

Pros

“Also it's great that it can track my activity across my devices eg my laptop & my phone to give a better picture of how I am using/losing my time.”

Jem F.

CEO

“I use it to track that I'm spending enough time doing revenue generating activities for my business. And to make sure I'm not spending too much time doing things I shouldn't.”

Belinda A.

CEO

“With it, I plan my work, I organize my time, I control the duration of use of websites and block those that distract me. And I can also save my activities every day, unbelievable!”

Ulrich N.

Doctor

Pros

“As both a monitored employee and a supervisor that was tasked with monitoring employees, I found the dozens of webcam photos and dozens of screen captures per hour were great for management that trusts no one and made a team of hundreds feel undervalued and like prisoners under surveillance.”

Scot R.

Proletariat

“I like the fact that it can be adapted to any company with customized status, breaks, schedules, etc, and also it's just very user friendly and most of the information is very clear.”

Sally G.

Customer Service Auditor

“Aside from the easy access in time tracking, you are able to view your daily, weekly and monthly worked time.”

Ma. R.

Care Coordinator

Cons

“I don’t use this for billing, because I jump in and out of local software as well as multiple websites for each project, making connecting the time to different projects too complex, so I use another piece of software for project time tracking.”

Jean E.

Multimedia Designer

“it can be difficult to assign a recorded activity to a certain project.”

Christian H.

Engineering Consultant

“Its API capabilities are very limited and new features seem to make the product worse rather than better”
