when compared to all the apps in the market, this is the one app which all the features, in our organization we have tired many tracking apps, most needs user inputs which is impossible from employees to track in one more app, thats the best about it
and it tracks effectively, all activity, now they have improved with granular controls like mouse tracking, m,ouse clicks, we can on/off for more control which departments needs it or not
other than above, its easy to use, implement, integrate,
We use it daily for several years now Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
Desktime is very userfriendly and also me and my team can manage time and workflow, and mainly as project lead i can measure the productivity of my employees with its in dept application usage details such as which all sites they have visted in browser and other applications.

The only thing i have noticed that Desktime cannot be started from system start by default, i need to start manually or configure it in startup application, it there is an option to run this application on startup it will be very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Desktime was a lifesaver for me, As an IT manager i was having hard time managing my team which were mostly working from home and our productivty in tasks were going down, After implimenting Desktime on every team members now iam able to list measure productivity as well as reporting feature are top noth notch which helps me to evaluate performance for every members without micromanaging. And for platform desktime integrated with out any issue and running smoothly. 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.
Lo mejor de desatine es que no te tienes que preocupar por nada, se arranca al encender el ordenador y registra todo lo que el usuario hace, tanto si está trabajando como si no. Es perfecta para llevar el control horario obligatorio de cada empleado ya que puedes exportar tablas con los horarios de trabajo diarios,. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
En lo que lo usamos nosotros no me encontramos ninguna pega Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to use and setup. Easy to control my productivity. UI is modern and simple. I never had an issue, so did not need customer support.
I'm using this tool primiarliy to control my day - was I at my desk the 8 hours and was I productive.
The option to mark the apps/sites I'm using as productive or unproductive gives more insight where my time is spent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A feature I would love to have is to monitor also documents I'm working in and automatically allocate the time to projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Clarity around where the team and I spend our time, particularly for specific apps. I have been able to get great insight around efficient use of time. Also better control around productivity expectations with the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I dont find the reports that easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initially, I didn't understand the necessity of using DeskTime. However, as I continued to work with the program, I realized its value. DeskTime not only helps me analyze my colleagues' productivity and work dedication but also allows me to evaluate my own performance. It has enabled me to understand in which environments I am more effective and in which I am not as productive. Overall, it has been a very positive experience. I use DeskTime every day.

I do not have dislikes on this program.. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
