"Easy Time Tracking and Clear Productivity Visibility for Remote Teams"
5/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

What I like most about Hubstaff is how easy it makes it to track time and manage productivity across remote teams. Features like automatic time tracking, detailed activity reports, and project-based tracking support transparency without adding extra administrative work. I also find the reporting tools especially helpful for keeping an eye on project progress, balancing workloads, and strengthening team accountability. Overall, Hubstaff offers a straightforward, reliable way to keep projects organized while giving both managers and team members clear visibility into how time is being spent.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

One drawback of Hubstaff is that some of its employee monitoring features can feel a bit intrusive, particularly for teams that place a high value on autonomy. The desktop app can also occasionally prompt reauthentication or run into minor syncing delays. In addition, while the reporting tools are helpful, tailoring reports to very specific business needs can take some time to learn and get right. That said, these feel like relatively minor issues compared with the overall value and visibility the platform provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"So much at the same place"
5/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Almost all is still the same. I got a chance to switch to JIBBLE, then I realised how good, efficient HUBSTAFF is. It makes my life as TEAM LEAD easier because now I can track and manage everyone working for me. It's performance, accuracy, and integration of AI. Its UI also has become so friendly for me and also for my juniors too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Honestly, nothing, still a star for me. No complaints so far whatsoever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Makes Daily Workflow and Time Tracking Much Easier"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

It helps me keep my daily work more organized and properly managed without making things complicated. I work as a Dietician and Nutritionist and also create health education content for social media, so I use it for managing wellness content tasks, patient follow-up work, and checking how much time is spent on different activities during the day.

The time tracking and to-do management features are very useful in my regular workflow because they help me stay focused while handling multiple health-related tasks together. I also like that project tracking, activity monitoring, reports, and productivity insights are available in one place, so it becomes easier to manage routine clinic work and content planning work side by side. The dashboard feels clean and easy to understand even for daily use.

Setup was also simple for me and the implementation process did not take much time. I liked that it supports integrations and different tracking options, which makes work management more flexible. Customer support is helpful whenever I wantany Help. I use Hubstaff many times during the week, especially while managing patient reports, content schedules, follow-up reminders, and health awareness content tasks. Overall, Hubstaff helps me manage daily work, task tracking, follow-up activities, and content related workflow in a much more organized and manageable way. It saves time during busy schedules and makes regular work easier to handle while keeping everything properly tracked from one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Sometimes while switching between different tasks or projects, the timer may need a few extra clicks to start or move correctly, especially between desktop and web tracking. I also feel that some dashboard sections and settings can take time to fully understand in the beginning because there are many options available. Apart from that, the overall experience has been smooth and useful for managing regular work activities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helpful Monitoring, Analytics, and Smart Notifications for Remote Teams"
5/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

The monitoring features and analytics are really helpful for us since our company is made up entirely of remote workers. I also really like the smart notifications, along with the real-time shift and schedule tracking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The bugs can be really frustrating sometimes. Also, I find the PTO feature a bit difficult to understand. I don’t like that late notifications sometimes come through late, and when I refresh the calendar page it still won’t show as on time, even if they clocked in on time. I’d prefer something more responsive and real-time, if Hubstaff could be that quick. ClickUp integration could be better when it comes to pulling info from Hubstaff, don't understand why we have t pay extra for the extra notifications? Should be included already. User interface has latency sometimes, and would be helpful if it's easy to access the articles for navigating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Monitoring, But UI Lacks Depth"
4/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I use Hubstaff to manage the hours of billing contractors. It shows me the intensity and screenshots of what they are doing, which helps me monitor their work. I really like the timeline chat feature because it provides a simple but clear visual on how much focused work my team is doing. With it, I don't have blind spots. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

I would say the UI is fairly simple and don't really see value in the other features to use it. It is a good software for its price but won't expand my usage of it. Well I don't see how I could use this for project management. Also I don't want to track how much we spend on contractors as we use Ramp for that. People were not responsive and we were charged the wrong frequency but after that no problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Remote Team Management with Ease"
5/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I use Hubstaff in HR to add schedules for employees, track time, and take screenshots while working remotely. The time tracking feature is the best, as it helps me know who is active and how much activity each person is doing in a particular hour. It also detects any suspicious behavior if someone tries to cheat the system. Setting up schedules is easy, and this helps track employee payments. Initial setup of Hubstaff is easy too. I chose Hubstaff because it was the best option we found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

In finance settings, it's a bit cumbersome because first, I have to add a person to finance and then go back again to search for them and enable their payment cycle. It would be better if this process could happen in one go to avoid double efforts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Transparent Developer Time Tracking with Strong UI/UX and Better On-Time Delivery tasks"
4/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Transparency of the time that the developers work. This gives us ROI immediately.

The UI and UX, is good. The only thing is that the reports some times are confuse.

For the point of view of integrations or third party APIs right now we don't have any case of use

For the performance point of view help a lot to improve the results and due dates are better than never

support is ok, we had experience using this platform so our collaborators help to use the platform.

We don't use any AI or intelligence feature Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The complexity using the reports, there are two many features. All the other things are really good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Tracking for Distributed Teams""
5/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I used Hubstaff while working as a freelancer for Outlier, and what I liked most was the transparency it provided. The desktop app is lightweight and didn’t lag while I was doing data labeling or quality tasks. I also appreciated being able to see exactly when a screenshot was captured, which gave me confidence that my hours were being recorded accurately. The dashboard for tracking activity levels is intuitive as well, and it makes it easy to stay on top of my own productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The idle time detection can sometimes be too sensitive. When I’m focused on reading complex project instructions or analyzing data without moving my mouse, it may trigger an idle alert even though I’m actively working. That can be disruptive to my workflow. Also, while the screenshot feature helps ensure transparency, it can feel a bit invasive if you’re not used to constant monitoring during freelance tasks.

"Seamless Time Tracking with Hubstaff"
4/5
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Hubstaff has been very useful for tracking my work hours and taking screenshots. I was able to download the app for MacBook Air and use it while I was working on a project. Onboarding was easy. My project was automatically seen on the dashboard. The interface is easy to understand and allows for monitoring work hours. It integrated with multiple apps, and sync was great. I like the overall performance of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?
