Acumen Data Systems clockVIEW, now from Journyx vs. stratustime

If you have a medium or large company, this is an excellent and highly configurable solution to managing time and attendance.

We don't use the clock in and clock out feature so I can't speak to that. It works best for our exempt employees and is a little harder for our non-exempt employees. We allow employees to enter their start and stop times but some of our non-exempt employees have trouble logging their meals properly. If they did it incorrectly, they can't always fix it and it has to be fixed by an admin (often by deleting all the time entered for that day).

Incentivized

• Easily customized
• Flexible user interfaces
• ability to support multi-tenancy

Incentivized

• Reporting on employee time and attendance data.
• Stratustime offers biometric clock in and clock out options.
• Employees have the ability to view and confirm their hours before payroll is completed.

Incentivized

• because the system manages huge amounts of data, it requires operators to be highly familiar with the user interface
• user interface not always intuitive to beginner users
• better integration with Active Directory

Incentivized

• While you can future date many changes in an employee profile, you can't change all of them. A big one that I wish you could future date is manager changes.
• There is not a way to have the project codes/cost centers automatically accessible for employees. New employees have to go in and activate them. It's a small thing but people just don't pay much attention.
• They could really improve their training materials. Some short videos to share with employees on entering time would be really helpful.
• They don't have a mobile app. They have a mobile website but it isn't great and our employees really want an app.

I get quick and timely resolution to my issues. I usually find the problems are operator error, but we occasionally find bugs that are quickly remedied.

Incentivized

We underwent a comprehensive business requirement assessment and evaluated dozens of packages, narrowing down to a final three. One critical requirement was the need to pass clock in/out activity as well as payrate information between the Time and Attendance software and our ERP systems. We finally evaluated 3 top contenders, and unanimously selected ClockView.

Stratustime's GUI is better, but Kronos seemed more stable

Incentivized

• Infinitely better management of employee labor hours
• Improved processes for electronically submitting and routing time off requests, with better management of earned benefits
• Exponentially improved reporting on employee status, turnover reporting, census tracking.

Incentivized

• Overall, it has really helped us streamline our timekeeping process by allowing managers and employees to approve their time electronically from anywhere with an internet connection.
• The ability to reconcile time sheets in a timely manner as also allowed us to process payroll a few days earlier than we were able to with our previous system.
