Clockify Review After a Year of Daily Use
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We work as virtual assistants and we use Clockify mainly for time and productivity tracking. I would say that the strongest suit of this tool is its affordability and the freedom that it provides when it comes to customizing what it tracks in your system. If I am going to compare this with other productivity tools, I would say that Clockify would be the most beginner and start-up friendly, and I would highly recommend this to anyone or any organization who's just starting. The user interface of Clockify is fairly simple as well. It's not too crowded and not too complicated and it appears to be modern for today's standards especially the way it looks.
Pros
- Time tracking is very simple; you just hit start and let it run in the background.
- Time editing is one of its strongest features and it lets you edit your time entries down to the second.
- Clockify is fairly affordable compared to other time-tracking and productivity tools.
Cons
- In general, manuals or how to use instructional videos are always welcome - just covering the very basic are very good to get everyone up and running.
- Maybe work on your scalability - the main reason why we switched to a different provider is because the company was ramping up and the competitors have more features that come with not just time and productivity tracking.
- I always like the classic blue and white pallets on the app but sometimes I just wish there's more option to customize how it looks just to give it a little more flavor.
Return on Investment
- Clockify costs around 15% less than the productivity tool that we are currently using but it does come with more features like AI companions and recommendations.
- While using Clockify we did experience more down times compared to what we are using right now. It's not too much but around once or twice a month - i.e. the break button is missing or the timer is not responding.
- I always appreciate the fact that Clockify is web-based and doesn't force us to install their app on my computer.
