I would say that a scenario where DeskTime is well suited is for personal use in a private business. DeskTime does exactly what it advertises, and it does it very well. However, I think there is a lot of potential for over-monitoring of your employees, or over-monitoring from high ups in larger companies. In a private business for personal use, you're only monitoring your own time management, so you can adjust as needed.

TCP is great for timekeeping and tracking. There's a mobile app and a web based clock system. The mobile app works well for most employees, but there are some that have trouble with it. It seems the app has extra steps to confirm clocking in and out that some miss or skip and there's a little bit of UI related items that could use some clean up. Outside of the minor flaws, TCP is a great tool for managing time for employees.

  • Employees' time goes straight to the database we use. No having to manually enter time.
  • No one can clock anyone else in or out at the time clock. We love that security feature.
  • It exports easily into the payroll system we are using.

  • Email notifications for entered requests do not always work, and the system will not send notifications from a manager user to a manager user.
  • We set up schedules to run each morning to populate timesheets, but there have been many times when the schedules did not run, and hours were missing.

It's robust and does what we need it to do in terms of tracking worked time, also unworked time. It has a detailed Employee Profiles section but mostly it's because it keeps track of hours

I absolutely love the ability to customize TCP to what you need it to be. There's lots of settings and areas where you get to decide how to want the system to operate. For every situation our team has said "I wish TCP would do it this way" we have been able to find a setting to adjust to make it do that. There are very minor adjustments I would like to make like hiding drop down menu items that we won't ever use.

Performance

Great performance, pages load quickly and reports generate quickly. They do take some time to complete if they're covering a large Start - Stop date, eg months but that's not an issue, they still complete fairly quickly.

  • The support representatives respond quickly and work hard to resolve every issue. They are always friendly and courteous.
  • The email notifications are our most significant issue, and they are still not entirely resolved.
  • I dislike having to sign forms to allow them access to the databases routinely...it seems this could be an annual document.

Alternatives Considered
Desktime is the first time management software I have used.

We have used Rippling as an employee management software that essentially has a cleaner and smaller scale clock-in and clock-out feature that was easier to use for our team. I think the TimeClock Plus beats out Rippling when you have a bigger team that needs to constantly clock-in and clock-out but for our needs, Rippling was perfect and allowed us to pay them all in the same software.

  • Good Investment, with the report you can decide which other paid apps [are] not being used in the organization

  • Changing from hand scanning to using badges has cut down on employees unable to clock in and out properly.
  • Records are more accurate. There has been less need for entering employees' time manually.
  • More efficient all around.
