Considered Both Products	Buddy Punch Verified User Administrator Chose Buddy Punch I really like everything about Buddy Punch. Incentivized Helpful? Tony Factor The Specialist Chose Buddy Punch going from Paychex Flex to Buddy Punch has been a huge improvement! For peace of mind and time management. As a manager, it's streamlined for me with the website being easy to use and navigate. I am very thankful for the move. Incentivized Helpful? MM Molly Mindy Attorney at Law Chose Buddy Punch This was the first platform this organization has tried to implement. I cannot remember if we used a trial on another company like this. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Employee Chose Buddy Punch I would prefer Buddy Punch, every day, any time. Helpful? JC Jake Cowden Operations Manager Chose Buddy Punch When we decided to try Buddy Punch we were using a normal time clock and needed to have a better way to track time. I reviewed a few products, but went with Buddy Punch and have been happy ever since. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Professional Chose Buddy Punch Buddy Punch was chosen for it's security. In the past service we used had a breach in their user base, i.e., it was hacked. We found Buddy Punch easy to access and edit. Incentivized Helpful? MT Marilyn Talbott psychotherapist Chose Buddy Punch Sign in was sometimes difficult if working at the school, in the community, at hospital. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Administrative Assistant Chose Buddy Punch I have not used any other product that I can remember. I used whatever system the retail stores had when I worked there short term and part time 6,7, 8 years ago. Incentivized Helpful? TC Thomas Carson Marketing Chose Buddy Punch I have not reviewed or evaluated any other similar products and this is the first time I am using this type of product. I have been a salaried employee for 25 years and this is my first contract position, but Buddy Punch has made the time tracking very simple and efficient. Incentivized Helpful? Tiffany Greenwood Payroll Manager Chose Buddy Punch I did not use a system prior to Buddy, but when comparing they were the best price and had all the features I needed. Incentivized Helpful? SK Stephen Kidd Client Account Manager Chose Buddy Punch I was not involved in the selection process. Much easier to use. Incentivized Helpful? JJ Joy Jones Owner Chose Buddy Punch We originally scheduled and ran payroll through Homebase, but in the last few months the software became very buggy, customer service was slow and when they did respond, was not helpful.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend	Buddy Punch I think that is very convenient as far as tracking your employees when they are punching in or out to ensure they are physically at the location they are supposed to be for that shift. I also think that the option to download this app to your personal phone is amazing, it makes it more convenient to punch in or out when you aren't near a laptop or a residence to use one. The feature of being able to attach a note with your punches explaining possible late punchers or absences is very beneficial to the employee allows show proof if needed.

Pros	Buddy Punch Their customer service is second to none. We have requested several changes over the years for the web interface and app; I think all the requests we've made were implemented by this point. I only wish this was the case with other companies we utilize. They allow you to set different pay rates based on department which allows us to pay employees more for the skilled jobs they perform versus the more basic work they perform. This is a huge benefit to a small company as it encourages employees to strive for more skilled work and they keep moving up the ladder to become even better assets to the company. The reports you can run are very thorough and work very well for us when it comes time to enter payroll. Having the ability to set alerts has allowed us to cut back on unnecessary overtime as employees can get reminders prior to going over. We can also set reminders for employees to punch in/out for the ones that have a tendency to forget. Incentivized JC Jake Cowden Operations Manager Read full review
Cons	Buddy Punch Sometimes I need to check back to be sure I'm still punched in. The indicator between punched in and out is not very indicative of if I am or not. I want to total hours not just by the week but by pay periods 1-15 days, 16-end of [the] month. Incentivized TC Thomas Carson Marketing Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Buddy Punch We originally scheduled and ran payroll through Homebase, but in the last few months the software became very buggy, customer service was slow and when they did respond, was not helpful. When we cancelled our account they didn't even try to make things right. We are so happy that Buddy Punch is like us--taking care of their clients and really invested in their success!

Return on Investment	Buddy Punch Efficiency has definitely gone up switching to Buddy Punch. Ive never quantified specific hours or time lapse it has given to my personal managerial efficiency. But it has without doubt. I can see a better overview of the employees I need to be concerned with and not have to filter out others not concerning me. Ease of use has decreased mental stress and angst in maneuvering employee time cards. Incentivized Tony Factor The Specialist Read full review
