ActivTrak vs. Kickidler

A scenario where it is well suited is determining why a certain task was not accomplished as it shows time spent on certain websites and if the usage was appropriate. I think less appropriate is the idle time as there are some scenarios where a computer is not necessary, and the task may be a manual one

Well Suited: Remote Work: In today's remote work environment, the software proves highly beneficial for monitoring and managing distributed teams. It provides supervisors with the necessary tools to track employee activities, ensure productivity, and maintain effective communication and collaboration. less appropriate Minimal Employee Engagement: If a team already demonstrates high levels of engagement, self-motivation, and productivity, the software may provide limited additional benefits. In such cases, the focus may be better placed on other areas of team development and support.

• 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.

• A little dificult to install, need a advanced administrator.

We are in agreement that the tool is very handy as a security companion. The system collects and retain relevant historical data to be queried when you desire e.g. in security reviews once a week.

ActivTrak is a great product that just keeps growing. Having used it for quite some time, we have been able to see ActivTrak grow and evolve as a product. The ActivTrak webinars are also helpful to get to know and learn the product. ActivTrak really just works with little effort needed after the initial installation

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.

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

We evaluated a few, the only one I remember was Controlio which was a bit easier to use, we just didn't like the name. We went with ActivTrak because another company used it and it seemed to work for them.

We love kickidler vs TimeCamp, better in all information captured from computers usage.
