Hubstaff reviews

The best solution for integrated task management and thorough time tracking and reporting.

Opmerkingen: Very happy I moved from Time Doctor to Hubstaff. Huge improvements on all areas and a satisfying product to use. The experience is so good that I find myself wanting to stay with Hubstaff regardless of whether my need for time tracking reduces.

Pluspunten:

- Integrated Task Management platform (Hubstaff Tasks) allows for agile style task management that feeds appropriate tasks to user's timers. - Nice user interface - Good reporting functions - Thorough tracking options - Client/project budgets - Very good Customer Support

Minpunten:

- I discovered some bugs during usage (which the developers have ironed out) - Time off / holiday allowance policy function is a great addition, but doesn't allow enough granularity as decimals of hours (or minutes) can't be used.

Hubstaff App Review

Opmerkingen: This app, is the best of it's kind and I believe that, I'll use it for a long time.

Pluspunten:

The app is very easy to use. The ability to take screenshot of worker's screen is great. Very customizable. I like the fact that it's free for a single user.

Minpunten:

At a point in time, it gives different recorded times. A different time sent via email from the actual recorded times.

The most robust, one-stop-shop for time tracking especially for remote teams

Opmerkingen: Using Hubstaff has been exceptionally easy across the board. It is an asset for our company to see project profitability, team member hours, and manage time off for a fully remote company. The customer service with Hubstaff is superb. Highly recommend the app!

Pluspunten:

The customer service at Hubstaff is second-to-none. They are super responsive and attentive to our account. The clarity in the dashboard and ease of use of the app and online tracking tool is superb. It was extremely easy to implement in our team and get team members onboard for utilising the app through the use of badges and "friendly competition".

Minpunten:

The fact that PTO doesn't count towards the total weekly hours for a team member, which is should so that we can see the team member's weekly hours inclusive of PTO.

Hubstaff Review

Opmerkingen: Hubstaff was great while I was using it. But I became disgusted with it at the end because my credit card was wrongly charged for multiple accounts and those were not active accounts. And Hubstaff refused to refund me for those accounts

Your Asset when it comes to time tracking

Opmerkingen: Very good. Easy to use and definitely a tool I will keep using in the future.

Pluspunten:

The best feature of HUbstaff is how easy it is to add projects and assign someone to track them. We bill our clients for example 200 hours of design and resource management and Hubstaff has been our go-to for tracking this time for our invoicing. It's also a really lovely reporting feature where you can easily switch between per project and per member to track the resources effectively.

Minpunten:

The timesheets have an error with the buttons that need to be fixed. I have contacted support before, but I have never once received feedback from Hubstaff support. So definitely zero stars for their support structure.

The best time tracking and productivity software

Opmerkingen: Hubstaff is a useful tool for businesses looking to monitor their team's productivity and streamline administrative tasks. However, it's important to carefully consider the potential drawbacks before implementing the software.Overall, Hubstaff can provide several benefits for businesses, especially those with remote teams or those looking to improve productivity and project management.

Pluspunten:

Integrations: Hubstaff integrates with many popular tools, such as Asana, Trello, and QuickBooks, which can make it easy to integrate with your existing workflows.Remote work capabilities: Hubstaff is designed to support remote teams, with features such as GPS tracking, geofencing, and activity levels. This can help businesses manage remote teams more effectively and ensure that employees are working productively.Invoicing and billing: With Hubstaff, businesses can create invoices and bill clients directly from the platform. This can help reduce the administrative burden of invoicing and ensure that billing is accurate and timely.

Minpunten:

User interface: Some users have reported that the user interface can be overwhelming, particularly for new users. The abundance of features and options can make it difficult to navigate and find the information you need.Limited support: While Hubstaff offers a knowledge base and community forum for support, some users have reported difficulty getting timely support from the company.Potential for micromanagement: Hubstaff's detailed tracking capabilities can give managers a lot of insight into their team's activities, but this level of monitoring can also lead to micromanagement and reduced trust between managers and employees.

The best in time tracking and employee monitoring software.

Opmerkingen: It's worth noting that while Hubstaff provides useful tools for time tracking and employee monitoring, it's important to use such software responsibly and with proper consideration for privacy and ethical concerns. Clear communication with employees and obtaining their consent is essential when implementing any monitoring software.

Pluspunten:

Increased Accountability: Hubstaff's monitoring features foster a sense of accountability among employees. When employees know their activities are being tracked, they are more likely to stay focused and productive, reducing instances of time theft and unproductive behavior.Transparent Client Billing: Hubstaff's time tracking and reporting capabilities enable transparent and accurate billing for clients. By providing detailed reports on the time spent on specific tasks and projects, businesses can build trust with clients and showcase their productivity and value.

Minpunten:

Potential for Reduced Trust and Autonomy: The implementation of monitoring software like Hubstaff can sometimes create a sense of distrust and hinder employee autonomy. Employees may feel that they are constantly being watched and their every move is scrutinized, which can negatively impact morale and motivation.Limited Insights into Work Quality: Hubstaff's focus is primarily on time tracking and activity levels, which may provide limited insights into the actual quality of work being produced. Evaluating work solely based on hours logged or activity levels may not capture the full picture of an employee's contributions or skills.

focus on what matter by use of hubstaff

Opmerkingen: hub staff is good for sure it gives accountabilities to employees and it helps to streamline tracking capabilities for manager for decision making purposes hence increasing on productivity

Pluspunten:

hub staff allows us to focus on what matters for our company, allows us to take automation of tasks among team , it has good user interface and its so easy to use , being able to run on android phones makes more convenient to users , i recommend to it other company's

Minpunten:

some times the applications takes a lot of time to open and GPS tracking employees some times its compromised by team who know IT better but its working well for me

trucker workers while in office

Opmerkingen: while as executive director am supposed to monitor employee productivity and performance but others work in remote areas which are hard to reach and tend to be expensive , however i use hub staff to reach to employees working in remote areas without visiting their offices hence saving me time and institutional resources

Pluspunten:

its has good customer services which are so supportive when contested and its is so easy to use and with this software am able to truck employees remotely using the online time sheet

Minpunten:

free vision is not provided and this makes it hard for new user to learn before taking decision of purchasing it

Better productivity with remote activities

Opmerkingen: Productivity increases and work management is more organized in task management

Pluspunten:

Hubstaff is designed for remote activities that allows for a more orderly follow-up of the management, everything is handled in real time and this makes the productivity of each employee more focused on their work, meeting delivery times

Minpunten:

It has managed to satisfy the needs that were required, there is nothing that I do not like because its customer service is efficient

Winning with Hubstaff

Opmerkingen: Great experience. Love the company and the staff.

Pluspunten:

We have an overseas team of Filipino employees that are amazing and Hubstaff really helps us with Time and Activity tracking. They are so trustworthy, but it's nice to know that they are actually doing their jobs correctly. The screen capture software enabled us to solve an internal dispute about managing some finances and resulted in one employee being let go and another employee promoted -- all this was verifiable because of the time tracking as well as activity tracking software.

Minpunten:

I would really like it if more integrations were allowed within the Hubstaff standard program. The functionality for the price should be included.

My experience with Hub Stuff for over 4 years

Pluspunten:

Ease of use, flexibility and availability at all times

Minpunten:

The large amount of reports and their presentation format :)

Lightweight, easy, and effective.

Opmerkingen: Overall hubstaff has been an excellent way to track and verify productivity and hours worked. Every day we're sent an email showing the team's productivity and hours worked for the day, the staff is able to easily download and use the tool, and they are able to make adjustments to their own time clocks without having to have a superior edit the time for them which was an issue with other system we've used in the past. Hubstaff requires notes for all time edits so it is easy to see when and why edits were made.

Pluspunten:

Hubstaff is a quick and easy way to track your time working on a project or projects. The software has many helpful features such as the ability to add or edit your tracked time in case you forget to clock in or out, as well as periodically taking and storing screenshots to help you see what you were working on at any given time (the screenshots are blurred so text is not visible, but you can see overall what was going on on the screen). Hubstaff is great for monitoring productivity, it tracks your activity percentage based on the times that you were clocked in by monitoring mouse movements. My favorite feature is the option to add a reminder prompt if you haven't logged in by a certain time, so for example if you log in every day at 8:30, you can set a reminder for 8:35 to pop up an alert in the event that you forget to start your timer.

Minpunten:

The only con I could say about this software is that every day during our 30 minute videoconference meeting I have to keep telling Hubstaff that I am not idle since my mouse hasn't been moving for that time period, and after 10 minutes or so it marks you as idle.

Lightweight, easy, and effective

Opmerkingen: As a time tracking, payment management, and employee monitoring software, Hubstaff does a great job. It does help many companies keep track of their employees and is pretty comprehensive and even fun to use (when you look at it form the browser). Aside from the archaic Windows app, which has many problems, I have no complaints.

Pluspunten:

I've only used Hubstaff for time tracking with my company, I've never used it individually, but I've worked with it with two separate companies so far (as a freelancer), and when comparing it to other time tracking and monitoring tools, I find Hubstaff to be one of the most easy to use and amenable. The thing I like the most is the comprehensive user experience from my end, though I can't speak for admins. As a worker I enjoy being in control and up-to-date with my activity.

Minpunten:

I would say that working with Hubstaff can get a little pressuring because of the activity system in place. What I mean is that I understand the way they measure activity but I do believe that looking for an activity sign every second can be very daunting, especially when some affiliate companies look for activity percentages higher than 80% for their employees. This forces many freelancers into a burnout trying to achieve these impossible productivity standards. Of course, Hubstaff can't claim responsability for what its users decide to do with it, but since it's fairly understandable that we (as workers) don't necessarily press keys or move the mouse at all times, maybe it would be better if they counted one activity sign every two (2) seconds, for example. Or if they offered ways to take breaks that were a direct part of the software and not something entirely at the discretion of one's employer. Hubstaff is great, but its current system does seem to favor employers more than employees, in my opnion, and this could lead to exploitation. Another thing is that the Windows app really needs an update, it has many bugs and doesn't look well on the UX side. There should be more options, not just an outdated-looking time tracker.

Hubstaff Time Following Programming: A Top to bottom Examination of Elements, Advantages, and Downsi

Opmerkingen: Hubstaff is a dependable and include rich time following programming that can assist organizations and specialists with keeping steady over their errands and bill precisely. Be that as it may, it's vital to consider the cons, for example, the restricted free arrangement, absence of disconnected mode, and protection worries, prior to choosing if it's the right programming for your necessities.

Pluspunten:

Simple to Utilize:The user interface is intuitive and easy to use, even for beginners.Comprehensive Time Tracking:Hubstaff offers an extensive variety of time following elements, for example, screen captures, action levels, and time following updates.Integration with Other Tools: Hubstaff incorporates with numerous different devices like Trello, Asana, and QuickBooks, making it simple to oversee projects and smooth out invoicing.Adaptability: Hubstaff offers different approaches to following time, including work area applications, portable applications, and program expansions.Exact Charging: Hubstaff takes into consideration precise charging by following the time spent on each assignment and giving point by point reports.

Minpunten:

Limited Free Plan: The free plan has limited features and is only suitable for small teams.No Disconnected Mode: The product requires a web association with capability, which might be badly designed for clients in regions with restricted web availability.Security Concerns: The screen capture component might raise protection worries among certain workers.Restricted Customization: There are restricted choices for tweaking the product to address explicit issues.Conflicting Action Levels: The movement level component may not necessarily precisely mirror a worker's efficiency level.

Everything we need!

Opmerkingen: Its a pretty solid program to keep track of your productivity and sometimes I even use it to go a couple days back to check if I was able to do tasks that I may have slipped my mind.

Pluspunten:

- random screen capture every 10 minutes that allows managers to check if employees are focused on their intended tasks - lets you track running time to the second that can also be used to determine pay. - you can track overall running time with preset time periods or set your own - forgot to time in? dont fret! you can edit this and leave a note to state your reason so managers can review and approve or reject the changes - has a mini time window that allows users to check how much time is running without closing any windows - works great with Mac and Windows - Different parameters used to measure productivity - color coded productivity - can view daily, weekly, and monthly productivity rate - easy to use interface - set tasks, projects, invoices, calendar schedules, admin can limit user access - easy to use dashboard with graphs of productivity

Minpunten:

- its not an exact science. My task is "Product Sourcing" which greatly relies on scrolling through thousands of pages to find a good item to sell and sometimes it takes the whole 8 hours to find 1-2 good items worth a second look. Hubstaff sees this as not productive and gives me a real low productivity percentage rate. - it can be manipulated if you still have time in between your tasks like opening new windows and tabs and mixing it with other "movements".

Accuracy is the Key!

Opmerkingen: Using this software is the best decision my company ever had in monitoring all their employees including myself. The accuracy of our timestamp shows the efficiency of our work everyday. I definitely love this software for providing us with fair results & reports with how productive we are every week, this is very helpful to all employees in any company to be more motivated to work hard each day. For me, working hard simply means working honestly with less supervision.

Pluspunten:

I had used so many other softwares in my previous companies which also offers the same features with this software. However, the best thing I like most with Hubstaff is the accuracy of work done per agent by providing accurate timestamp, screenshots & productivity report per agent & a lot more. Also, this software is indeed a friendly user which provides all users or agents an easy access to this software & provides easy instructions on how to make further changes in each users of this software. I would highly recommend this to all my friends & previous co-workers to work efficiently with less supervision.

Minpunten:

Well, only one thing that I like least with this software & that was the delivery of screenshots per agent. It was more of the interval of each screenshot provided by this software. Honestly, I'm not really sure how exactly it works since I'm not the one in charge of this software in our company. Nevertheless, I am pretty sure it can be improved more to deliver quality experience to all users.

Great time tool

Opmerkingen: We are a completely remote company, and Hubstaff makes it possible to track our individual time spent on all projects, report on that time, send payments in some cases, and keep a detailed log of work that was completed on tasks.

Pluspunten:

I like the ability to track individual tasks and customize a dashboard on the homepage to show the metrics that are most useful to you, the individual user.

Minpunten:

The sync with Confluence takes a while to upload tasks into the pop-out timer, and I feel that time is wasted waiting for the update on the timer to occur so I can start tracking time. I also think that the way the timing works per week should be based on the individual user's time zone, and not the company time zone.

Best time tracking software for businesses

Opmerkingen: We've been using Hubstaff for a few years now, and it's the best time tracking software I've come across. It tracks all our employee's hours, activity levels and takes 3 screenshots every 10 minutes so you can look more carefully into your employees' performance if necessary. They also recently introduced badges which are awarded if someone has consistently high activity levels, which is also motivating for employees. They also offer a billing section which we don't use but is useful for businesses who pay employees per hour.

Pluspunten:

The best part is that the software downloads onto your PC and runs in the background with minimum interference. If you stop working, it will record idle time and ask you f you want to keep the idle time as work time or not - which is really useful. Another stellar feature is that it tracks activity levels. If an employee's activity levels are low, you get an email with a screenshot of their screenshot showing what they were doing at that time.

Minpunten:

I can't think of anything we don't like.

Great for staff monitoring

Opmerkingen: Great experience overall

Pluspunten:

It allows us to easily calculate the hours worked by our remote team whilst ensuring the team are focused and easily shows us how much is owed at the end of the month. Vital tool for outsourcing.

Minpunten:

There are a lot of features that we dont use, it would be really useful if it were possible to automatically schedule send us the hours worked by an employee at a time period we are able to define, so that we could easily access this information without having to generate the report. This function exists in part but the ability to set the time period ourselves would be very useful.

Incredible time-tracking software

Pluspunten:

This is a very, very easy-to-use time management software that can work in businesses of many shapes and sizes. I love that rather than just digitally tracking time, you can even assign your time to different projects, locations, etc. It works on Mac and PC flawlessly, and although I haven't used the mobile app, I've heard good things about it. In terms of trusting your workers, it even can screen capture the main display of their PC/Mac to ensure they aren't slacking off. This also tracks how much "activity" (mouse movement only, I think) per 10-minute period.

Minpunten:

Really not too many cons with this one - very straightforward as an enduser, and very straightforward to setup for others. I think that presentation wise, the program could be rebranded to be a bit cleaner-looking, or higher-end. It's simple, it works, but I think it could be visually enhanced a tad. In terms of function, there's not much to criticize other than editing time after the fact. I have found it sometimes cumbersome to overwrite/change old time entries after entering them, as when it overlaps with another time, it doesn't allow you to submit.

Now even newbie freelancers can land a gig thanks to Hub spot

Opmerkingen: My overall experience has been nothing less than a blessing because I had almost lost hope to work as a freelancer because of the huge competition on platforms like upwork which resulted in no job for the first couple of months but as soon as I joined hubspot it all changed for me.

Pluspunten:

What I liked the most about this software is the fact that despite of the ever growing competition in the freelancing industry hub spot is still giving every freelancer a chance to prove their worth

Minpunten:

To be honest there’s literally nothing I dislike about this software but I would say that it could be even more better if they gave freelancers an option to attach their certificates and portfolio.

used it daily for 13 months for my remote job

Pluspunten:

i managed to work remotely with this app and my manager introduced this software for me and showed me how its amazing tracking for time and some screenshots being taken to assure to the boss that work is in progress

Minpunten:

i would say alittle bit should include a warning to the employee that he is being tracked by some managers, lucky for me my manager told me the way it goes but you can be tracked with out your consent if you don't know this app and start using it

Hubstaff, your go-to tool to manage the remote working

Opmerkingen: Hubstaff is a tool I recommend to all people manage a team of remote workers.

Pluspunten:

The integration with many platforms and how they communicate seamlessly.

Minpunten:

I work with Jira. Sometimes it has verification problem which makes the calculation of the work time inaccurate.

Simple, accurate work time tracking software for growing businesses

Opmerkingen: - very happy with the subscription and would like to refer to other companies.

Pluspunten:

- easy to use - setup is not difficult specially while onboarding new person in the team - client setup and reporting is great - different kind of reports are very helpful - there are payment integration software but bring more like i can transfer directly from my bank account.

Minpunten:

- need multiple hours so billing and paying hours could be in different currency. specially when paying country is different then developer's team country - time off (leave) period should be dynamic . like here we consider financial year so we didn't consider from Jan - Dec instead we consider April - March - lower activity: report should exclude time below any percentage. at the moment doing it manually and it is very tedious task.
