Traqq Reviews & Product Details

Hi! I'm Jez and I've been working remotely for almost three years. Although I understand it's part of the first few remote jobs and contracts I've signed up for, I am honestly uncomfortable that everything I do is being captured. But at the same time, I also understand the need for the firm to implement this policy. I got interested upon hearing about Traqq, and I genuinely prefer this over the other trackers I've used. I like the features for productivity scales as it would help me know what time I peak productivity and what times I don't, which is different for everyone. I also like that it sends reminders when one is idle for some time. Most of all, I like the blur feature so there's still a small portion of work that the employee has control over. I also like that it has dashboards based on tasks, hours, dates, productivity scales, etc., and I am positive the firm side would love this feature. Another good point is it's being offered for an affordable rate which smaller-size firms would appreciate. Overall, the app's features balance the micromanagement need of the firm and simultaneously protect the privacy of the employee/user, which is important. I highly recommend this to small-sized firms to try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No downsides, just some points to improve. For instance, it does not come in a mobile app version which was surprising as nowadays almost all desktop apps have mobile counterparts. Second is that employees can delete snaps taken, which I think is pointless as these can be retrieved by the firm or HR in charge anyway. I think this would have negative repercussions so better not for transparency for both employee and firm sides. However, as I've heard that they're very new in this field, they can be given some slack, and at this rate, I think they did great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is really user friendly. I like the fact that we can have a precise idea of the time spent on each application, while keeping the privacy of the content with the blurred screenshots. Also, the function that allows to differentiate a real mouse movement vs. a movement to keep the computer active is also very relevant. From an HR point of view, Traqq also allows us to have a better understanding of the work organization and positions over time. It allows us to update job descriptions accordingly, but also to discuss with the employee their strengths and areas for improvement based on the time spent on a task.

It would be interesting to have a mobile application. Apart from that I did not notice anything negative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The smart alerts and notifications keep everyone on track and aware of their productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, the smart alerts can be more distracting than helpful. A more customizable alert system could help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Traqq is easy to use and takes only a few moments to set up. Great value for the price per month. An ethical approach to monitoring remote employee activity during business hours. I love that the screenshots captured by the app are blurred, so only the site is visible, not the content on the page, allowing for more confidentiality of workflow activity.

I am not fond of the ability of the employee to delete time from the log. Allowing the employee freedom to delete time could cause questions about what the employee was doing with their time. Maybe, instead of deleting time, the employee could be given a comment section to note what they did during that time. For example, answering personal emails.

As a Project Manager responsible for a team of 11 specialists as well as a freelancer myself, I see multiple advantages of the Traqq app. Let me highlight some of them from both perspectives:

(1) User privacy - although the app takes screenshots or records activity (optional) every 10 minutes, they´re blurred. Meaning that as an employer, I still see what a specialist was working on without violating their privacy.

(2) Activity monitoring - this is an amazing feature for employers! I can monitor which apps a freelancer opened during their work time and see how much time was spent on using each. So if a significant amount of time was spent on non-work-related activity - well, it´s time for a serious conversation.

(3) Anti-mouse-moving feature - in my opinion, it´s an extremely valuable one! If a freelancer is trying to cheat the time tracker, it simply won´t work. Traqq app detects this fake activity and it won´t be recorded.

These are top-3 key features that I wanted to highlight, although there´s so much more! I chose to emphasize these as they help create a sense of trust and responsibility between an employer and freelancers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None found so far, I really like the app and its multiple features. I´m excited to see more features coming out in the future - it´s been a great help for me and my team so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a first-time Traqq user: so far I am satisfied, the interface is user-friendly and the instructions are clear and simple. There is a pattern recognition system that helps improve my work productivity, and also the option of pausing the app whenever I am not working. In regards to the privacy issues, I like that the screenshots can be blurred. I also found the handy option of adding time slots manually which covers the unplanned work tasks (e.g. meetings) that would otherwise stay unrecorded. It seems to me like a useful tool for all professions but particularly for freelancers sometimes struggling to record their working hours to the clients. The help center also seems well developed.

I am not sure if it comes in other languages too, it would be great if it did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a HR professional, I manage a number of remote workers. Using a clean interface and a non-intrusive approach, this app provides the information I need to monitor workflows and productivity. This software also makes pay calculations which I can then use to make payroll decisions on a weekly basis. Traqq takes the difficult issue of monitoring productivity metrics and makes it simple. Over the long term it builds trust with workers who can self-manage their productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike. Although I would love to have a phone app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Great tool for organizing the team's workload and performance. Simple yet complete, I've been using the web dashboard + the app, which integrates nicely with the taskbar for easy tracking. In addition, it allows you to automatize reports (receive daily/weekly monthly) by email, so you don't have to log in and do a manual check if you want to follow the progress of a specific team/team member. Clear reports on productivity levels. It is very easy to use and customizable, depending on the flexibility you want to give the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing so far! Maybe a "nice to have" would be the possibility to set up personalized reminders to take breaks or daily time limits on any given web page/app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was delighted to see how easy it is to get used to the software and get along with all of its features. I really liked that the content in the screenshots the app automatically makes is blurred, so if you need to check some private things or send some messages, you are secured. I also noticed that for those that own a business and want to track how each employee is performing in a certain project, you can do that by checking the percentage of their involvement. Another cool feature for business owners is that they can see how much time they spend on each website/app, even if they are doing it on a second monitor, so the employee can't cheat.

I personally didn't find any downside to the app. From what I know, some people would want to have a graphic chart for timesheets, and yes, that will be good for some people, but personally, I can't find that more useful considering my needs as a freelancer.

1) Root of low productivity Okay so being an HR I always have had problems extracting the causes of low productivity due to no close monitoring of everyone's time. Traqq solves it. 2) Reports Also, I just love how you can schedule the team report (which you don't have to manually fulfill). Loved this feature-Amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Throughout the demo, if in the future it gets integrated with biometric machines for recording attendance, it would be great, along with the geolocation. I cannot recall anything that did not look anything but amazing, except the price (but that's justified on your part for such an extensively covering app) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
