"ActivTrak is Great for User Management"
4/5
What do you like best about ActivTrak?

The layout of the website is easy to navigate and it has a simple way to implement licenses to users. The customer support is always helpful and we usually hear back very soon after a ticket is submitted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActivTrak?

It is difficult to interpret all of the various reports that are available. It would be nice to have an AI summary or some sort of summary to give to the leadership team so we could spend less time investigating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Valuable tool for managing remote teams"
4.5/5
What do you like best about ActivTrak?

I feel since our company started using ActivTrak it has been a very valuable tool to help manage a remote workforce. It helps ensure our associates are present and logged in, and are working on the types of things we expect them to be working on, and not wasting time on unproductive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActivTrak?

It can be a bit difficult to drill down to the data you want at times and the system can be very slow at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for catching non-productive employees"
3/5
What do you like best about ActivTrak?

ActivTrak is very detailed, showing me down to the second how long a staff was looking at a webpage or application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActivTrak?

All of the tiers seem unnecessary. I feel like we paid a significant chunk of change for the basic package but are extremely limited on the available reports and detailed information like specific webpages are only available through upgrading. It's frustrating that we were able to see more information in the trial then we can now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ActivTrak is a great way to track productivity especially in remote working conditions."
4/5
What do you like best about ActivTrak?

I like that I am able to get minute by minute information which helps me to understand what my remote team is working on. The website/app they are on from minute to minute. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great to be able to set up alerts that would come to you via email if it meats the criteria the manager sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Does the trick, but is convoluted"
2/5
What do you like best about ActivTrak?

I imagine the depth is there for folks that want it. We use it for website tracking for the most part. I do enjoy that the company seems engaged with their admin users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActivTrak?

It loads incredibly slow. It's like using a filter on a website with 10 million items, every single click causes the page to load, and it takes a lifetime to get what you need. Ultimately, it's just too much to setup. I think the program is effective, but you'd likely need serious commitment to dial in all the monitoring features. This may not be something they can help but for example, I was spending a couple hours a day simply classifying websites that my users had visited. It would be great to have a way to classify those more quickly.

To summarize: It's slow, and while it gives you data, it's not in an easy to read format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Moller of ActivTrak

Hi there -

I'd love to turn your experience into a 5-star one. Would you be willing to chat directly with us about specific items? I see your comment around classification and I could have the team follow up with you on that. Please email me at team@activtrak.com if you'd like to take me up on this offer.

"A Powerful and Interactive Tool"
4/5
What do you like best about ActivTrak?

The best features I use are the flexibility to mark visited websites/applications and productive/unproductive and independently classify them against different practices within the organization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ActivTrak?

An area of improvement would be the ability to view weekly activity that would include the current day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Megan Moller of ActivTrak

Hi there!

I'd love to dig into what you shared as something you dislike. Many reports default to the week prior, but you can adjust the filter to "Include Today" in many of them. If you would like to dig more into this or give our product team some direct feedback, I'd be happy to hear it or connect you! Email me at team@activtrak.com if you're interested.

Thanks for being a customer and for sharing your experience!
