ActivTrak Reviews

ActivTrak is installed on all staff who have computers (approximately 40). It is not disclosed to employees. We use it in many ways: to gauge productivity, to weed out any bad apples, insight into what programs and software are used most in an effort to eliminate what isn't needed or add what may be needed and to look for redundancy.

We are an organization with lax rules. We offer flexibility and expect it will not be taken advantage of. We trust what employees tell us. Being able to see with our own eyes what an employee does on a day to day basis has been very eye opening and it has shown us where changes and/or improvements need to be made.

We have it installed on everyone's computers in the company and it works great. We have used other programs in the past and it was routine to have to reinstall their recorder over and over as antivirus software would tear them apart. With ActivTrak's different approach that never happens here. I install the agent once using their network push utility and then it just works. Couldn't be happier.

The productivity charts are super helpful in identifying employees that need to be given more [or less] to do.

We are currently using it for the entire company. We have allowed many of our employees the option to work [remotely] during this period of time. We use it as a reactive step in the management process. There are some cases when we need to monitor the productivity of the remote employee.

Management understands that most employees do not work every minute of every shift. There is an allowance we make as managers. When we look at staff utilization and realization rates we can now add the productivity report and gain a clearer picture as to what the employees are doing. It also allows management to see when most productivity drops off allowing us to create solutions, such as lunch breaks, relaxing time, and other cultural shifts that work to eliminate these periods.

I use [ActivTrak] across all the PCs in our office. The metrics for productivity are very useful. The 2 features we utilize the most currently are website blocking and Alarms with screenshots. Going into a disciplinary meeting with these screenshots and logs has been an incredibly helpful tool to show someone just how much time is being wasted. Since implementation we have had less and less issues with time wasting on the PCs. This is mostly from our employees knowing the software is in use.

Productivity logging by user and service has been very helpful. Without ActivTrak we did not have access to these metrics.

ActivTrak allows us to monitor productivity of users in-office and remote. It has helped us on several occasions with performance evaluations. ActivTrak also sends a helpful weekly report showing productivity levels for our top users. I like that I can dial down to an individual user and see screenshots of their actions at any workstation via Active Directory login. Our managers love the customized reports for their separate departments. It's a great tool for any organization.

Employees are more aware of ActivTrak monitoring so they consistently perform at higher levels. We are able to see this performance and apply the reported data towards yearly employee evaluations. This helps both the employee and the manager understand work expectations on a one-on-one basis. This was a longer process to achieve before ActivTrak.

We use ActivTrak to monitor the daily use of laptops and desktops. Since COVID as well, a lot of employees now have the ability to work from home so we need this platform to monitor the hours and activity time they're working. ActivTrak has helped us become a better company overall.

Before we never knew what websites the users were on. We never knew how long they were actually working on a project or task. Now we have that ability with ActivTrak which is why every year we renew our services with this company. Best part about it is, they're cloud based.

We use ActivTrak in a lot of different ways. We use it to track production between employees. With us going remote, it was a way to keep tabs on all of our employees. We like the fact it helps us know if an employee is productive or not, and that it breaks down the different divisions and access for managers to those divisions. We like the different graphs and being able to use the data in Tableau. We like the auto-classification feature to help us cut down on managing the system. We use it for reviews and also for the termination of employees. We use it to also reward and bonus hard-working employees. We also use the tool to help gain insight if we need to hire another employee in a department. It is used as a safety feature to protect us from potential threats from outside and inside the organization. We like the capability to be able to screen shot so its not our word against theirs, and also like the alarms that we can alert of a potential issue, or prompts on new employees who are not quite sure of our policy.

ActivTrak helped us weed out bad employees that spend more time not trying to work than work. Helped us with workflow. Helped us with figuring out an employee's weaknesses and strengths. It helped us look at departments and see if we needed help in that department. It allowed us to really look at an employee's work and see if they were busy not working or actually working. It helped us make decisions faster on termination. It helps keep us safe from internal or external threats.

With the pandemic and our employees working remotely for the first time ever, we needed some more visibility into how our employees getting their jobs done throughout a typical work week. We use ActivTrak across our whole company to look for opportunities to help our employees work more efficiently. We are also utilizing ActivTrak to identify opportunities where work needs to be spread out more so that we do not have employees that are working 14 hours a day and some employees that are working 5 hours a day.

Total visibility into what the employee is doing on their corporate computers.

We use it to monitor for productivity and for new hires to assist in training.

It gives us a complete view of our business without the opinion of the employees. It allows us to track software and asset utilization. This will allow us to better manage our people and our money spent on useless equipment and software. It also allows us to tailor our training program to best suit the employees.

We utilize ActivTrak for our home-based employees. It is helpful to keep track of their productivity as well as ensuring the safety of our systems by blocking specific websites and areas that our employees should not be visiting.

We have been able to consolidate two positions into one because employees are more productive knowing their online movements are being tracked. This product has saved us a tremendous amount of wasted time and money. Our employees perform better knowing their computer is being monitored and it has cut down on visits to unauthorized websites. I am very pleased with ActivTrak!

ActivTrak is used across the whole company. Tool monitors employee activity and performance.

Employees aware, so they are more productive. We have addressed or eliminated poor performers. It also validated those employees that are high performers.

We use active track to monitor work activity scanning for both information being stolen from the company and employee productivity. We have already caught one employee trying to [steal] marketing data.

One big diffence is department managers don't need to ask me to check an account. I can assign users to admins.

ActivTrak is being used across the organization for different departments due to Pandemic to assist managers with remote workforce staffing.

[ActivTrak] is being used by [the operations] department. I utilize it to track work productivity

[ActivTrak] allowed us to see where most of our time was being spent so we could streamline our processes to make time for the important task we provide

Our IT department uses ActivTrak as part of a suite of services to prevent and address cyber threats. In addition, the HR team uses ActivTrak for employee behavior monitoring.

We do not currently use the employee productivity features of ActivTrak, other than to look at overall activity patterns when we suspect that an employee is stealing from the clock or otherwise avoiding work.

ActivTrak is being used by the entire organization however access to the data is only available to select members of the HR department and the IT department for troubleshooting and license management.
The organization was looking for a more modern approach to Employee Productivity Monitoring and ActivTrak was the best fit for us.

ActivTrak hasn't been used in an attempt to improve productivity at this point. Its major use has been data collection for HR.

We currently use ActivTrak to monitor all users working from home. It is mainly used to monitor that our remote users are working as expected and to minimize the amount of non productive apps and websites visited, that way we try to boost productivity as much as possible.
It has helped a lot during the pandemic time especially since more users are working from home now than what we were used to. Also the support help center is always ready to help whenever any issue arises , so overall we're happy with the service we are getting.

We can view what our employees are doing constantly which allows us to give our employees reviews on what they're doing to ensure they improve their work and also ensure they won't be using apps or visiting sites that are not considered as productive by the company.

It has also allowed us to view and prevent employee burnout since we can see how much a person is working, that way we can prevent low morale in the company which in turn increases productivity even more

We use ActivTrak to track and report on what our users are doing online. It tells us and them when a website is unproductive vs. actual work. It gets smarter every day and we use this data to create a reward system for actual work. We get to see where users are spending their time.

We knew some users would check a personal email or similar. We did not realize how much users would all be attracted to news sites for updates of current events.
The data also highlights how long specific applications are used and the difference between average and top performance was borne out from this data. It corroborated that we have great employees and the things we ask them to do are the things that our office needs them to do.

It is being used across the customer service departments in our organization. It helps us measure who is staying on task during the work day and how productive they are. ActivTrak also allows us mitigate cyber threats related to internet browsing and application usage on company devices.

It allows us to see the amount of time they spend on productive tasks each day and how that time corresponds to the completion of their workload.

We are currently using ActivTrak for all of our employees in our back office. We do not use it for the whole company as our brokers are 1099 contractors. We implemented this tool as we have multiple employees that work from home across the US. It has been very insightful to discover who was productive with their time and who was not. It allowed us to see that some employees were really only productive for half of the day which allowed us to make personnel adjustments.

We had some employees that worked from home/remotely. It allowed us to see their productivity and realize that there was some dead weight. While we were under the impression that employees were busy, it was not nearly what ActivTrak showed. We ended up getting rid of more than half our employees and replacing them.

This is a very useful tool in our effectiveness to produce activity reports for each of our end users. We are able to determine and find the value each team member contributes as well as their effectiveness in their work. We started at random user targeting, but have moved beyond individuals and began focusing on separate departments.

Overall we had a handful of employees in the beginning suspected of abusing internet on their computers. It was ravaging once we began collecting reports and data. We were able to monitor, mentor, and retrain very good employees. This was a bit of a battle at first but employees now have began to shift their focus in a more productive nature that produces a great work flow.

ActivTrak is being used in the simplest form to track productivity hours for our engineering department. This information is then used to assist with resource and capacity planning.

Currently using ActivTrak across the organization as a tool to assist in controlling potentially dangerous web access. Being able to monitor in real time and control the access to such sites gave us a very valuable tool for protecting our network environment. Before we implemented this tool, we would have a too many resources wasted in doing these tasks manually.

By automatically keeping access blocked to unauthorized sites, we have reduced the network traffic, [and] kept users away from introducing web threats.

ActivTrak is being used across our whole organization. Every employee that receives a company issued device has ActivTrak installed. We use ActivTrak to track the productivity of our users and watch for any security issues or conserns that may arise.

Yes, Activtrak has improved productivity due to the fact our employees know upper management can see what they do on a daily basis. It eliminates all excuses of being too busy to complete their tasks and makes the employee accountable.

We use it as a general tool to monitor security concerns across our remote workforce. It also can be used as a training needs analysis tool as we can see behaviors across the workforce.

We have some employees who request us to block certain websites to help with their productivity, and this tool is able to do that.

We use the tool to monitor the productivity levels in generic terms. The ability to identify trends and issues and take corrective actions is great.
