  • I am having a problem with its customer support. [I feel it is] one of the worst customer service I have gone through for the longest time. They did not even know about their own platform, response time is late and there is no such name of help from their side what so ever which makes it a very difficult platform to use.
  • [I believe it] needs a lot of upgrades in customer support system.

Hubstaff has always responded to support requests in a timely manner and has kept me in the loop of changes. When contacting them about future changes/features they've always been upfront on whether that is a change they are looking to make and when that change may occur. Finally, if the person I have communicated with was unable to resolve, they always escalated to the next best person who can answer/resolve.

CloudDesk is more flexible in the sense that it is easier to use and is affordable. Moreover, the app is extremely easy to use, and adoption amongst employees is higher than that of other tracking apps, as employees understand what they are signing up for. Overall, its great for monitoring desk-based employees
