  • [Hubstaff] is limited to integrations, while working on the projects I face difficulty to drag the drop because sometimes the plan requires to be discussed and it becomes a necessity to insert various attachments on the spot so that we could achieve the maximum.
  • Further live chats should be made available.

I give it 9 because it is really good for time tracking and managing remote teams. It helps me to manage my team very efficiently. Still, prices are high, so don't give 10. I need more discounts to add more team. Also need more accuracy as users are now fooling the tools with various cheats. Overall it is good and helfull

Reliability and Availability

I've never had any issues and always received proper support. They let you know in advance when they'll be in maintenance and it's always in odd hours, so it's good. You still can use it when they are maintaining it.

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.

Alternatives Considered
Affordability and ease of use are much more feasible than Time Doctor or any of the other solutions we've seen. Moreover, it was run by a few employees on a trial basis and they said that CloudDesk® was easier to use and used fewer resources than the competitors. While it didn't have all the features of its competitors, it had all the features required.

Hubstaff is a better tool than Hubstaff. There
are certain details which if present can enhance the overall user experience
and I must mention that Hubstaff has carefully taken into account and has given
attention to detail by even making easy to understand training videos available
for beginners that can further help and aid them in training.
