The best Employee Monitoring Software in Market for Remote Employees
Reviewed on 6/1/2022

It was a great experience, the software is scalable and affordable. It only adds cost upon usage which is critical.
Pros
As a company with lots of employees working remotely for us, we need strong software to monitor employees' performance and act according to the efficiency analysis. Its best feature is idle time management which helps you know if some employee is sitting idle.
Cons
Customer support is delayed a bit. We sometimes faced problems with Windows computers, this is somewhere Hubstaff needs to work it more user-friendly for Windows.

I like the fact that it's free for a single user.

Toggl TrackReasons for Switching to Hubstaff
Per reviews, hubstaff was the best so I decided to give it a try.Response from Hubstaff
Hello Paul, thank you for providing your input regarding our product.
When it comes to the daily emails that get sent out automatically by our system, there are a couple of reasons to consider for why they can appear to be incorrect.
Firstly, the hours displayed in those emails are always in the organisation's timezone, and not in the member's own one. So, if there is a big time difference between the two, for example organisation having EST (New York) and user CST (Shanghai), then the hours tracked can appear to be incorrect due to the big difference between timezones.
Also, if the user's Hubstaff tracker has not been able to upload all of its tracked data as intended, then the summary report will only display hours tracked and uploaded to our servers at the time of the email being sent out.
We do encourage the usage of the timesheets area to more accurately see the hours worked by the members of your team. On there, information can accurately be seen in both timezones.

Simple and motivating
Reviewed on 1/19/2023
Pros
I really like how I can track my time spent on different task and has a very simple desktop app for it. Also like the emails every morning about productivity.
Cons
It does not take into account when I am on a call, particularly a video call which is on the system. It should be able to discern that and keep from going idle.
Response from Hubstaff
Hello Maira,
Thank you for submitting this review of our platform. It is possible to set the idle time out to be longer, than the usual default value, so it minimises the risk of someone entering idle time when they are on a video call. So this may be something that you may want to utilise in the future, to prevent unwanted idle time being logged.

When the screenshot notification setting is enabled on the desktop application, a pop-up will show every time it captures your screen, depending on your app's preferences setting.

A great software for time tracking!
Reviewed on 11/1/2022
Pros
Hubstaff is great software for the time tracking. I am just a user but when comparing it to other time- tracking software I've used in the past, Hubstaff is less complicated and easy to handle/manage, especially when it comes to adjusting time. It can be intimating at first, but using it on a daily basis proved to be easy.
Cons
Sometimes it doesn't reset after 24 hours so the time for the new day gets added to the previous day.
Response from Hubstaff
Hello Kissara,
Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this detailed review of Hubstaff, we are happy to hear that overall your experience has been a positive one on the platform.
When it comes to the time tracker not having its time reset at the start of each day, the most likely cause for that is a temporary connection issue - affecting the connectivity between your time tracker and our servers.
Typically, the time tracker will refresh at the start of each day, at midnight local time. If, however, this doesn't happen, it will mean that the time tracker is in an offline state. That's not too much of an issue, though, as Hubstaff is well equipped to track time in an offline state as well.
Your time will be accurately recorded and uploaded to our servers, the next time the connection can be made. Feel free to reach out to our support team, should you have any prolonged issues with the time tracker itself.
