Time Doctor vs Hubstaff Comparison

Having to email their support to cancel my account...I'm joking that was just the last annoying thing I was forced to do with this company. Nothing...I like absolutely nothing about it.

Absolutely terrible piece of software. I cannot for the life of me understand why this software has such high ratings. We used it for about six months and had nothing but problems with it. Some of the issues were: 1. Time not syncing between mobile, desktop, and web clients. 2. Time not accurately being tracked. 3. Unable to archive old project-tasks or projects. 4. Tasks and projects not syncing...

The customer has some genuine problems. We put the full attention of our team on these problems and they are all now solved. However they are very unhappy and have been posting the same negative review on multiple review sites. I think the review is unfair given that 99%+ of our customers are very happy and give us great reviews, and very few people had the problems that this customer had with...

- Integrated Task Management platform (Hubstaff Tasks) allows for agile style task management that feeds appropriate tasks to user's timers. - Nice user interface - Good reporting functions - Thorough tracking options - Client/project budgets - Very good Customer Support

- I discovered some bugs during usage (which the developers have ironed out) - Time off / holiday allowance policy function is a great addition, but doesn't allow enough granularity as decimals of hours (or minutes) can't be used.

Hey Ewan, hope all is well with you and thank you for the kind words. You can now request time off exactly down to the minute. Cheers!

I like that it comes with the integrated time doctor, detailed reports for the team activity & productivity, as well as the recruitment Hubstaff Talent platform, I'd say it's the best remote hiring platform. Have found many employees from there.

There's no payroll integration with Payoneer. It's tough to do payroll with limited options.

Easy to track my time, identifies idle time and suggests deletion of idle time, you can add manual time easily

Dashboard can be improved to make it easier to see total hours by month or by week without having to enter filter criteria as summing up a month

Tracking time of members. Easy to implement. Easy to track time in real time.

Cannot track my people and get individual reports. No guidance. Not intuitive. Waste way too much time trying to figure this out.

Time management features and time tracking

If the system hiccups and stops recording time, there isn't any type of alert

easy to use, and very light, not costing too much resource

some time you lose offline tracking time

I would say integration with Jira, but it's bugfull and not intuitive. Why some tasks are not appeared in hubstuff, what do I have to do for them to appear in hubstaff, etc.

Bugs in web portal like weird layouts, visual bugs: with recent update all of the icons look the same: just empty squares, because your you didn't provide appropriate CORS headers and Chrome blocked loading your custom fonts.

It tracks time well and benefits my company

Tracking inactive time and billing non existent time

Hello Semitala, thank you for providing us with this review of your experience of the platform. Please note that Hubstaff does offer the functionality to have idle (inactive) time automatically removed from the platform, once the user is back from such a period of time. This, once enabled, ensures that the inactive time is removed without it ending up having to be billed towards your organisation and/or client(s).

Time tracking ; Idle Time cut off; Customer Service response Times

Direct Payment gateway to Banks or Payment partners

It is really great at time tracking and time sheet monitoring.

Some features are hard to find and to use.

I really like the reporting and time tracking features and the flexibility to break out time logged on the time and activities report.

it's not a con, but i'd like to see date/timestamp of the hours worked per day, along with the current view of time entries too.

Tracks activity rate & allows me to manage my time & my teams time better

screen tracking... more productivity reporting tools would be amazing. ease of creating projects and tasks that users can make themselves and i get a report. Instead of me needing to make projects...

Ease of creating and sending an invoice, ability to view your hours and pay at a glance

having to go through emailing someone else to add projects, creating to dos, as well as adding manual time entries: you can't move the add time window to see when your last time ended, the prompted start time hubstaff gives you when you try to add a time entry is an earlier time that will replace your previous time entry, you have to exit the add time window to add a to do

Reports are amazing also billing and dashboard

need sticky bar with time upon the screen to monitor time

The time tracking system, which allows my staff to record their time very effectively.

The billing system, because you charge us according to the number of users we have, but this is only applicable within certain thresholds. For example, the costs are the same if someone has 4 or 5 users.

Being able to know how active team members and the time being spent on the project.

Time tracking for tasks to know where the time is being spent.

time tracking

user interface is not easy to use or to navigate

I like that you can time different projects within a job. It helps me with time management and to know what I spend the most time doing.

I wish it was easier to have multiple jobs, working for different people. I think it might be possible already, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Super easy to use. Choose the project and hit "play". I also really appreciate that it detects when I'm not active for a while and automatically prompts me to remove any time, then either resume or stop timing.

Like all time trackers, I often forget to start it... and end up starting it later and adjusting manually. I'm not sure if there's a mobile app, but I definitely forget to start it in meetings.

Hi Cody! We do have a mobile app for both iOS and Android. https://app.hubstaff.com/download. If you are often forgetting to start your time tracker, you can set up a reminder to track for specific times! To do this, open your app's preferences menu and then set the reminder there. Let us know if you need help at support@hubstaff.com

As a teacher, I need to get updated in my field and I have limited time in my hand, so I use HubSpot as my time management system. It helps me to get all my time spending under one roof and show me where I am wasting my time. It helps me to get more time for reading books and less on social media. I love how I can now visualizing my 24 hour time spending and get more time efficient.

I am not an expert on time management, but this workes for me. But sometimes it can't sync my offline data, which gets lost.

Easy to set up, trusted timer/metrics and makes paying freelancers quick, easy and pain-free. Hubstaff team is available to answer questions and respond to inquiries same day.

Improvements can be made in regards to having many team members across different time zones to show their time and the employers time zone.

I love the simplicity of the product. It is easy to track time. And at the end of two weeks, I can generate a report of my activities over the past two weeks and send an invoice to the client. When the client views the invoice, I know he has viewed it. And when he pays, I close the invoice at my end. And the client can see it. Very good tool for freelancers to track their time.

When I manually enter time in the backend, the added time does not reflect in the time tracker. You have to close the time tracker and open it again for the manually added time to reflect in the time tracker. This is a known problem and customer support guided me with the workaround (close and reopen).

Allows me to delete blocks of time where I left the tracker on by mistake. Stops tracking time if there's an interruption in the internet connection. Stops tracking time if computer is idle, A dashboard to check how I spent my time

Not sure if this is an organization setting but it does not allow me to customize time zone settings. Specifically, the clock resets at 0 When I pass midnight which makes it difficult for me reliable keep track of my total hours. Sometimes when I visit the dashboard website I get the message "You are using an outdated browser" even thought my browser is .

Hi Nigel! Thank you so much for dropping us a review! We sincerely appreciate it! We're happy to hear that you find our app easy to use! Please take note that our app is designed to always reset back to 0:00 at midnight. However, if you're having some issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to us at support@hubstaff.com and the team will be happy to assist you! Thanks again for your kind review and we look forward to hearing from you! Have a good day!

Good software. Useful reports. Probably I can recommend this service.

Not good UX for adding time manually. If you don't use time tracker you may have a bad experience to add time manually.

The chances to keep track of the time by project, so I can see the differences about timming

The idle time, sometimes the time is not enough to do something else
