![]() I haven't compared to other time tracking software, but for us (a company with 35 tracked employees), it's fairly expensive. I do like the reporting structure I can see what sites someone is visiting and code them appropriately (productive, not productive, or neutral). The implementation for new hires is very quick, just a name, an email, and a team to assign them to is all that's necessary. I like that we're able to see at a glance what all team members are doing at any moment in time. The dashboard is sleek, informative, and easy to read. It's easy to onboard new people, assign them to teams, and track usage. ![]() You can see what they are doing and when they are doing it.ĭesktime is easy to use. Just give me an option to track it how I need it to.Ĭomments: This software is good, if you feel the need to track employees. Or if not doing the actual math, it is looking it up on a conversion chart. The hour time is not a factor but the minutes, it is always 38 min x. I really wish it would track minutes in unites of 100, like time has to be submitted for payroll. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And if you were out to lunch, leave it blank and no time is recorded so that at the end of the day you have an accurate record of how much "desktime" you have put in. I suppose depending on the meeting that could be subjective. If it was a production meeting, click in the blank space and a pop-up comes up and you can tell it what you were doing, what project it was for, if applicable and even if the time was productive or not. When you come back, in the timeline there is a gap to which you can assign whatever may be appropriate. When your computer is idle for more than a few minutes Desktime stops counting time. There is also the ability to keep up with how long meetings are or lunch even because Desktime tracks offline time. And because no person is perfect Desktime also has a Private Time feature. It is more of a series of hopping from one job to another and back again and the ease of switching between projects makes that a non-issue. In the course of a day I rarely work on one thing and then the next and so on. ![]() It is super simple to set up a new project, and as easy as choosing from a dropdown list when you need to switch from one project to another for individual job tracking. I use Chrome and have the extension for Desktime that captures the URLs of sites I visit so I can also keep track of what I was working on by where I was on the Internet. It starts when my computer comes up and starts tracking automatically. I had searched for a few years trying different programs, or plug-ins, or techniques and I always ended up with "time holes" in my day. Comments: There are things I am good at, but keeping track of my time is not one.
