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
TimeCamp is comparable to all other time tracking apps. It predominantly depends on your specific use case and if the UX works for you if TimeCamp will be a good fit. Personally, I found the software not super intuitive and I think that was a big turn off.
ActivTrak gives me a breakdown of hours during which my employees were actively working, when they were active online but unproductive, when they were inactive, and when they were not online.
ActivTrak gives me a detailed breakdown of the software, platforms, and programs my employees worked on/in during each block of the day.
ActivTrak provides a detailed breakdown of how I spend my time each day to help me improve my productivity.
TimeCamp does what it is made to do and it does it very well. It allows multiple levels of billing rates and does a great job tracking.
TImeCamp does take a little bit of time to set up, but that is no different than any other tool. The interface is easily understandable so the configuration goes pretty quickly.
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.
TimeCamp is a little bit expensive. It needs overall improvement in all tools. Moreover, the mobile version is not as useful as the web version of TimeCamp.
Other than that, customer service needs more attention and requires more improvement.
Also, I feel like that if there are more features of TimeCamp then it would be better.
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.
I am giving support a rating of 8 but that is quite arbitrary. Honestly, we have never had the need to contact support for any reason. There has not been a situation where we became stuck and could not figure out how to work through it. Sign up was easy and billing is like clockwork so there has been no need to contact billing support. I think this is a testament to the ease of use of TimeCamp.
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.
TimeCamp is distinctive and virtuous because it provides a flexible payment system with a free plan to make it even more attractive, it simply provides the essential alternatives in our work processes, and the customer service team executes its work very effectively and with a positive attitude positive.
It has helped us see that we needed to replace underperforming staff even after being coached and having their issues addressed.
It helped us know that we had a few ROCKSTARS burning out from overworking.
The screen capture has saved our butts when we had processed some things on other websites only to have them come back and say it didn't happen. We had visual proof.
While it was a bit nervous to implement because there is a negative about employees being monitored, it has provided us with coaching opportunities to help our team improve.
