ActivTrak vs. Fourth Analytics

For our use case, the data collection, reporting, and ease of use made it easy to choose ActivTrak. It works great for ensuring that users are actually using their computers, working, and being productive. It is a great tool for a hybrid or full remote work environment.

It is most well-suited when analysing absence and looking for trends in order to be proactive as a business and address the various reasons causing this. It is less appropriate for maybe more financial based tasks, unless directly related to HR functions and processes within an organisation.

• We had to really dig to figure out how to find the alarms for the potential mouse jiggler. Had I not really researched, I wouldn't have known that one of my employees was using it. The alerts should be more visable
• The software is expensive, and I didn't like that I had to pay even more money to get screenshots of my employee who was using a mouse jiggler. While I really appreciate that I had the option, and it gave me the proof I needed, I think it should be included in the upfront cost.

• Breakdown of costs in each Rota - SMP affects it.
• The integration with recruitment websites still requires data to be put in manually.
• Integration of importing Excel on the rota.

Support is always fast and the agents are ready at all times to help when an issue arises, if the tier 1 agent isn't able to provide a solution to the issue they're asked about they quickly escalate the issue to tier 2 or 3 to ensure that the appropriate support is given to the issue at hand to have it quickly solved. No issue we've had so far has taken more than two days to be solved.

Sometimes it was difficult to resolve an issue with a single person.

There should be a way to automatically implement the system without giving users the opportunity to accept or deny the program on their computers.

I am unsure, to be honest. I have not had much exposure to different productivity software. I lucked out by using Active Trak first. I do not feel the need to investigate or review other productivity software. I would recommend ActiveTrak to other companies, users, or those searching for productivity software.
