What do you like best about DeskTime?

Time tracking is quite reliable, with very usable metrics collected for each user or team.

Each user has his own dashboard view where they can see their own metrics and a ranking on the team and company.

The simple knowledge of what is being tracked by the software has been a good insentive to increase productivity.

It creates a positive competition between coworkers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DeskTime?

It is not very convinient to need each user to create his account and enter it at setup time, so basically each workstation has to be setup individually, it would be great if it could take the system logged in user for tracking instead.

Time tracking / app tracking seems very precise, however sometimes there is a delay on pushing the data to the server, so you can't depend on it for real time monitoring, however by EOD you do get reliable metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DeskTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have several employees working remotely, using desk time has simplified tracking and generates evidence of when the users are actually connected and working ( or not) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DeskTime?

I learned about DeskTime a few years ago, when I was doing freelance work. I wanted to know the time I dedicate to each project. At the same time, I also believe that you should not dedicate more time than agreed on projects.

The level of configuration that DeskTime allows is perfect for me. I can see how I use my time, how productive I am and the number of hours I dedicate to each thing. It helps me keep track of how I am doing and to set limits.

It is easy to install and very smooth with all the browsers and software. It never froze.

I turn on the computer and it is there. I check it once in a while every day without getting obsessed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DeskTime?

I do not dislike anything about the software.

Maybe it should incorporate some gamification elements to help you stay focus. Or simply a pomodoro technique. This would be interesting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DeskTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is very useful to track employees time. In my case, I track my own time to be able to have more control over my work.

It gives me clear visuals on how I am doing every day, what software I am using, how focused I am, etc.

I know that at the end of the week I want not to exceed a certain number of hours but I also set myself some goals of productivity % (time focused on certain apps / total time).

I have used it for more than 7 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DeskTime?

The biggest upside of using DeskTime is its ability to streamline time management. By categorizing apps and websites as productive or unproductive, it helps users stay on track with their goals. The automatic time tracking also saves manual effort, giving accurate data on how work hours are utilized. It’s a great tool for both individual professionals and teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DeskTime?

One downside of DeskTime is that it can feel overly invasive for some users. The constant tracking of activities may create discomfort, especially for employees who feel micromanaged. While the intention is to boost productivity, it’s important for organizations to strike a balance and communicate clearly about its purpose to avoid reducing morale.

What problems is DeskTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

As the owner of Golden Rose Wellness and Med Spa, DeskTime has been a game-changer in addressing several challenges we face in managing productivity and efficiency. One of the biggest problems it solves is tracking how our staff allocates their time throughout the day. With multiple services offered—from consultations to treatments—having a clear view of time usage ensures that no minute goes unaccounted for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about DeskTime?

This has helped when staff need to work away from the office especially when they are only working for a small amount of time. It allows them to log in and my accountant knows when they worked based on the time shown and photos of work they were on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DeskTime?

No version can be used in stealth usage if you suspect someone of time stealing. My team does not have that issue but I have had staff in the past doing everything they could to make other software think they were working when they were not. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is DeskTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

My accountant can log in and see what time has been approved when I am out of the office and unable to send reporting to her. Productivity has drastically improved in a job where it is very easy to go down a rabbit hole on social media and get lost. I mean that for myself too where I can see unproductive parts of my day as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
