ActivTrak

We are using it across our organization. At this point employees don't have access just managers. We are looking at a hybrid working situation with our employees and deciding if it is efficient to have employees working from home. We plan to roll it out so employees can track their own efficiency shortly.

Management has not let employees know we are monitoring them.

Use to track overall productivity. Not so much the actual numbers themselves in AT because we have to add for items that it does not track (like attending Teams meetings on the compute platforms, or watching training videos, informational videos, etc.). It also does not work on platforms like mobile devices (tablets/phones) so we compensate for that as well. Overall get a good sense of where productivity trends are for teams, geographies, projects, etc. Gives a great insight into managing a large organization spread across the world where direct visibility may be limited.

Notice low tracking individuals and have an understanding of the reason first (tool issues). Once cleared conversations have been had with those individuals and improvement seen. High-tracking individuals have been observed and taken care of so they do not burn out or otherwise get demotivated (keep them happy and highly productive in a healthy way).

With most organizations embracing remote or hybrid models, the need for a tool like ActivTrak is eminent to get insights on how the workforce in an organization is performing to help take appropriate decisions: 1) either to involve them within product development/implementations. 2) or to coach to get some personal time off for family and self. 3) or to help them reach the next level in their career. With recent changes in the org which lead to a new team working on building a product from scratch, there was a need to look for a tool like ActivTrak which provides insights on the utilization as well as understand any blockers leading to underutilized team members.

Personal Insights providing detailed productive hours vs non-productive hours helped coach team members utilize time effectively and see peek time for collaborations. Also, helped identify utilized team members to find suitable work within their capacity. Collaboration hours helped identify the progression of the team and uncover blockers within a PI sprint.

We use ActivTrak to track productivity and see where we may need more employee support.

ActivTrak shows us where we may need support. For example, we can identify where we need more employees within a department. It has connected us with employees who weren't using their work-issued devices to complete work. It turned out the work-issued devices didn't work properly. This has allowed us to work with employees to get them set up with devices that were efficient and kept them on task versus having to use their personal devices to complete work.

We use ActivTrak to monitor burnout and improve attrition rates.

The productivity in general. With remote working, companies worry about two things. Employees are not working or they are overworking. ActivTrak allows you to see exactly that

Ridiculous lead times on support, and shady billing practices. They can bill your credit card even if it expires and good luck getting support from billing if something is wrong. Joining ActivTrak was the biggest mistake I've made in my whole career. They make it so easy to add new users automatically without any human intervention, but if you want to cancel? No automated methods to reduce users or cancel must talk with a representative. What a sham. The software doesn't work that great billing aside. Constant reinstalls required to keep things running became more of a pain than it was worth. Hard to track employees quietly when you have to do a reinstall twice a week to keep stats running. Support gives the runaround for weeks on end and still no resolution. Stay away. There's better software out there with way better support

ActivTrak has had a negative impact on productivity, as staff spend more time trying to beat the system and make it appear that they are productive when they are not

I like to monitor employees' productive and unproductive work hours. I also like to check screen views so I can see what someone is doing in real-time. It works remotely without any hassle. ActivTrak provides valuable information about employees and how they go about their work.

ActivTrak helps me monitor employees remotely.

Our organization runs the largest business competition in Eastern Canada on an annual basis. We use ActivTrak to prevent cheating and to preserve the integrity of the competition by assuring that competitors don't access forbidden resources (e.g., communicating with their coaches). We deployed ActivTrak remotely on 500+ computers for the 3-day competition.

Our company uses ActivTrack to ensure the safety of our company information. It is also used as a productivity monitoring tool for our remote team.

ActivTrak is one of the few platforms available that allow us to prompt employees with popups when they do something wrong without actually making a note of it in their log. The idea is that rather than noting their mistake (or forbidden activity) but not educating them about what they did wrong, it takes a more positive and proactive approach.

We use it to manage the productivity of our workforce, but it has provided audit trails and evidence in investigations. During CoVID, we found that 90% of our employees are efficient at home. With ActivTrak, we were able to identify some productivity issues and make adjustments that benefited the employee.

With the remote workforce, we now have a definitive report of the employee's activities. With Activity Log, Working Hours Report, and screenshots, the employee gets a clear picture of their workday. When we were evaluating software packages, we wanted the ability to see an activity log and screenshots. To be honest, my company only takes advantage of about 50% of the capability of ActivTrak.

Managing Productivity for Remote Users, Tracking Sensitive Data, and identifying the internal threats.

Allowed us safely to transition to working from home without losing any productivity, management kept an eye on all employee's timing.

As a small business owner with remote and on-site employees, ActivTrak allows me to measure productivity, detect compliance issues, track hours worked, etc.

I can see who is doing what, and act accordingly.

Tracking productivity of our users both in office and in work from home scenarios.

We could not see home workers before so this is immensely helpful in the new normal.

ActiveTrak doesn't help us much to understand remote workers' productivity in a COVID-19 operating environment

We know how some poor performers are working and what they are working on and ensure they are aligned with organizational priorities.

The management team uses ActivTrak for their individual team groups. It is a great resource to monitor activities and have conversations with employees that are struggling with time management.

yes, we use it as a guide with each employee and show their productivity levels and ways to improve

We monitor staff productivity since the company has gone virtual / WFH.

Across teams, it gives a better idea of average productivity which has led to less and more productive meetings since we found people were losing too much time daily in meetings.

We are a management service organization. Prior to the pandemic, all positions were physically onsite at our corporate offices. With the pandemic, we were forced to transition to a virtual environment. When working in a physical environment, it was easy to identify top performers and busy team members. When our organization transitioned to virtual, we were unable to gauge performance or productivity nor could we continue to identify those that were outperforming peers. We implemented ActivTrak to allow transparency of our virtual team members and identify those who outperformed their peers.

It has allowed us visibility [into] performance issues and coaching opportunities. It has also allowed us to identify top performers who we have engaged to help with training and coaching team members who need help.

We currently use ActivTrak for employees working remotely and a few employees that work in a hybrid office/remote role. We are using the data gathered to prove that people working remotely are in fact working, to give employees the opportunity to see their own metrics and determine how they can be more efficient, and also to generate transparency and trust between managers and production teams that are not in the same physical space.

ActivTrak hasn't helped to improve productivity so far. We have used ActivTrak to allow people to work remotely. It has helped us to ensure that people are maintaining a certain level of productivity.

We use ActivTrak for IT security as users are all working remote. It helps us make sure that it's the user using their machines and not a foreign attacker. It also allows us to see when the machines are in a suspended state or monitor odd behavior. It has also helped us discover numerous other activities that were not supposed to be happening. It allowed us to identify numerous actions before they got worse.

Staff at our organization are extremely productive and we needed ActivTrak to really keep tabs on burnout.

As with many impacted by the onset of the COVID pandemic, we fast-tracked remote access capabilities for essential staff to ensure ongoing business operations. This access was increased to allow extended staff to work remotely. Initially, we focused on ensuring remote staff [was] capable of providing the expected level of support and experience delivered with every interactive engagement. We found over the course of time, remote employees felt disconnected and the challenges they faced left them feeling stranded. Based on internal feedback, we implemented ActivTrak to assist in identifying and designing coaching opportunities to increase employee morale. This allowed our organization to gauge the level and potential of employee burnout as a way to provide managerial support and encouragement to each individual working remotely.

With ActivTrak, we have found opportunities to improve the level of engagement with remote staff without losing touch (compared to daily in-person interactions). This allows our management team to continue to focus on managing all staff with consistency and monitor application utilization levels (productivity is based on actual output metrics which can only be obtained through specific role-based applications).

We use ActivTrak to track the productivity of our offshore staff. It allows us to see if these remote workers are actually working on their assigned tasks or if they are just online watching videos.

It provides analytical data on the productivity of your employees.

ActivTrak is used to track employee productivity and make sure staff are not using computers/company time for personal activity. It also allows managers to track passive time.

I feel we've improved productivity with staff that have a history of distraction either on their personal devices or using company [computers] for personal business. I've also been able to verify that certain staff [is] indeed working when other people have questioned that employee's productivity.

We use ActivTrak to monitor the usage of certain applications in order to better understand how our employees spend their time. We then use this information to influence the implementation of other applications and policies that may better suit the [company's] need as well as aid in employee productivity. ActivTrak's interface is simple enough that anyone from any background can easily understand what is going on but intuitive enough that we can [break down] and differentiate between what is considered productive and unproductive.

We are still testing the platform.

Utilizing to monitor productivity during the pandemic[.]

With the pandemic, this will give us a good baseline to measure against when return to work ramps up[.]

The product allows us to measure the productivity of our users and address any productivity issues. This has been especially useful for hybrid working and monitoring our overseas offices.

ActivTrak has helped identify individuals who have less productivity than the company expects. This has helped us address performance issues. It has also highlighted those who have gone above and beyond their productivity.
