Overall Satisfaction with ActivTrak

With a 100% remote workforce, ActivTrak is used to help both management and employees track how they spend their time. It is especially helpful as a means to look into the activities of those employees who are struggling to meet their objectives, but employees also find it useful to make sure their work time is logged automatically replacing tedious, manual time tracking efforts of the past.

Pros

  • Application usage tracking
  • Productive/non-productive time tracking
  • Individual/Team activity reporting

Cons

  • Allow user to identify customer project they are working on
  • log in/out to allow untracked personal use of corporate assets
  • perhaps a systray icon and/or desktop widget with some user-specific metrics
  • Accountability allows the remote workforce to stay remote
  • Identifying and rewarding productive employees keeps them motivated to remain productive
  • Transparency allows for no surprises for under-performing employees when discipline is required
  • Automatic - there's no need for employees to "punch a clock"
  • Transparent - employees see exactly what employers are observing
  • Centralized reporting
  • Organizational consistency - all managers use the same tools to track employee productivity
Identifying, comparing and contrasting the time use of our productive and less-productive employees has been invaluable in our training efforts of both new employees and re-focusing the efforts of those who require it. Employees seeing their efforts are being tracked also helps motivate them to get/remain productive and maintain healthy work-life balances - especially with a 100% remote workforce.
Identifying opportunities to shift work-loads from those who are overloaded to those who have more free-time allows us to service our customers efficiently and effectively. It also aids in identifying work habits that consistently prove more productive and incorporating those into training documentation for new hires and those who may need redirection.
We don't use ActivTrak to influence our workflow or resource utilization efforts.

Do you think ActivTrak delivers good value for the price?

Not sure

Are you happy with ActivTrak's feature set?

Yes

Did ActivTrak live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of ActivTrak go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy ActivTrak again?

Yes

It is well suited for secure environments where user activity on corporate assets needs seamless activity tracking with minimal invasion into the employees workspace.
Since all activity is logged 100% of the time and the user is unable to disable the agent, it is perhaps too invasive for corporations who allow employees to use assets for personal use.
