DeskTime Reviews & Product Details

Time tracking is quite reliable, with very usable metrics collected for each user or team.

Each user has his own dashboard view where they can see their own metrics and a ranking on the team and company.

The simple knowledge of what is being tracked by the software has been a good insentive to increase productivity.

It creates a positive competition between coworkers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not very convinient to need each user to create his account and enter it at setup time, so basically each workstation has to be setup individually, it would be great if it could take the system logged in user for tracking instead.

Time tracking / app tracking seems very precise, however sometimes there is a delay on pushing the data to the server, so you can't depend on it for real time monitoring, however by EOD you do get reliable metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I learned about DeskTime a few years ago, when I was doing freelance work. I wanted to know the time I dedicate to each project. At the same time, I also believe that you should not dedicate more time than agreed on projects.

The level of configuration that DeskTime allows is perfect for me. I can see how I use my time, how productive I am and the number of hours I dedicate to each thing. It helps me keep track of how I am doing and to set limits.

It is easy to install and very smooth with all the browsers and software. It never froze.

I turn on the computer and it is there. I check it once in a while every day without getting obsessed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not dislike anything about the software.

Maybe it should incorporate some gamification elements to help you stay focus. Or simply a pomodoro technique. This would be interesting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the Startup feature on desktime is not there while installing the application, our team needed manually to configure and moving mouse and keyboard endlessly also approves as productive behaviour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about this tool, is how it helps me, to manage my time efficiently without feeling watched. It allows me to see where I spend my day, find opportunities to improve my productivity, and at the same time, balance my work with necessary breaks. It’s a tool that gives me clarity without being intrusive. It also allows me to have control of my work team, to measure their level of productivity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like sometimes the desktime agent doesn't behave as he should and I have to request support, and sometimes the resolution take until a day later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest upside of using DeskTime is its ability to streamline time management. By categorizing apps and websites as productive or unproductive, it helps users stay on track with their goals. The automatic time tracking also saves manual effort, giving accurate data on how work hours are utilized. It’s a great tool for both individual professionals and teams.

One downside of DeskTime is that it can feel overly invasive for some users. The constant tracking of activities may create discomfort, especially for employees who feel micromanaged. While the intention is to boost productivity, it’s important for organizations to strike a balance and communicate clearly about its purpose to avoid reducing morale.
