"An incredibly advanced and detailed time tracking product"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I like the wide variety of tracking features included that not only let employee register work time, but allow us to actually see activity such as screenshots and location trackers. The overall data we receive from Hubstaff gives us great insight into the efficiency of employees and whole departments. The software itself is easy to work with and has many visual features that are great for reports and presentations.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

To certain employees, tracking software like Hubstaff can be a hindrance to the quality of work they provide. Some may be reluctant to use it or find ways to unfairly manipulate the system to their advantage.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Hubstaff as a means for tracking employee work time and activity. We can link the system with computers and devices to check in unobtrusively with employees to monitor their work activity and to keep everyone more accountable. We're also able to provide documented data that can be used to refine our workflows and other productivity issues.

"I like this tool"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I find it very useful for monitoring what my team is actually using their time for. Reports are convenient, and the screenshot feature is great.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Sometimes it's hard to see why reports don't tie into each other. There is no granularity on the management role for a timer.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to make concrete decisions about the profitability of given jobs,

"What I think about Hubstaff"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Well, it is easy to navigate and the new look is better. I mean, its looks simple and cool. I like the fact that the timer has idle bcos sometimes during lunch I forgot to stop it and when I come back, it will ask me if I want to keep that idle time, so of course I wont and that is awesome!~

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Do we have an option to see the earnings for 2 weeks? Not just 1 week? I don't like it when it will show one week earnings. Well, its okay but it will be best if you add like 2 weeks option in the dashboard. **IF YOU HAVE IT ALREADY, I can't see where to update, maybe you can make that more visible??

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

The screenshots helps store information from the prev work that you did so it helps me keep track not only the time but the work that I have done as well

"Good time tracking feats"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Accuracy and ease of tracking my time makes for a valuable and seamless experience. It shouldn't take time, to track time. With that said, I know that HubStaff enables quick use so that I can track time quickly without having to go back and constantly check my work.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Not being able to edit and adjust times more comfortably and easily; It turns into a bit of a project and takes away from the user experience.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time efficiency and recording. I enjoy not having to worry about time being tracked because even offline mode during intermittent connectivity will still keep my time tracked.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

hard to change plan/add a new member i need mobile screenshots too many tabs in the program. hard to figure out where what i want is

"Hubstaff is must-have for out of office employees."
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I work an odd schedule and tend to work all throughout the day. Sometimes it's for 6 hours, other times it's for 30 minutes but whatever the time increment is... Hubstaff makes it easy to keep track of every minute I work.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Hubstaff's phone app and computer app do not seem to communicate very well, I often have to get approval to change my time card... I will be contacting Hubstaff support about this.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

I do not work in an office setting 5 days a week so Hubstaff makes it easy to track my time.

"An innovative tool to manage and complete your important tasks."
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

You have better chances at completing the required tasks as you are aware that your activities are being tracked and you try to complete the given tasks in the allotted time. Weekly time and activity percentage are recorded which automatically motivates you to try to do better than the previous week.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The span of idle time which is 10 minutes is very short. Sometimes you are trying to understand a topic by reading it thoroughly and forget to strike a key. The criteria for calculating idle time should be different.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

Efficient time management.

"Great so far"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Regarding time tracking, it works great.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Reports UI could be improved, tasks tracking might be organized in the better way (Windows app). UI scaling on windows could be better (probably a universal app)

Time. I have more time to spend doing what I do best instead of managing timesheets.

"The Best Project Tracker/Monitor"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I like that it's very out–of–the–way and takes up minimal computer resources. The online dashboard is very user–friendly which is a big bonus.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

I do not like how I have to manually stop my time in between projects. I am working on 2 projects with their own allotted weekly limit. Hubstaff automatically stops tracking if and only if I reach the total weekly limit. I would rate Hubstaff 10/10 if it can automatically stop tracking if I reach the weekly limit for one project.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

QA, team management, task delegation, and monitoring. Hubstaff semi-automates these problems.

"Frees up Hours of my Time Every Week!"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

The most valuable aspect of the software is the project costing that it allows us to do, while simultaneously eliminating the need for an extra 15 minutes at the end of the day to try to remember how long you worked on each! This means more accurate cost calculations, as well as zero time creating "recall" invoices for contractors.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

I would like a few additional reports, and the ability to slice and dice a little more.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems of accurate job costings as well as timely and accurate invoices for freelance staff. It is really a win/win with contractors being paid much quicker and providing the business with more actionable real time data on which we can base business decisions going forward.

"Lightweight app with all the right features. "
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Hubstaff does not do a lot – but what it does, it does well.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The app's UI is a little lacking, and occasionally crashes. Hubstaff does not have an integration with a great invoice app.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps track time down to the second, which many apps don't. It makes generating invoices for hundredths of an hour easy.

"Easy to use"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I like the fact that we are able to monitor our remote staff without too much overhead. It was easy to setup and we manage to set up Hubstaff within a day.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Nothing much to dislike. Generally the whole experience has been very pleasant.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have significant amount of staff that are working remotely. However, there's no way to effectively monitor their productivity until we started using Hubstaff. It makes the employees more accountable for their time given that they already have the privilege of working from home. We were also able to understand the time spent on different projects to help us better staff the various projects.

"Is Hubstaff efficient enough?"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

The only thing I like about Hubstaff is, it's so easy to login and once you're in you can start tracking your hours. Simple start and stop button and you're good!

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

I hate the idea that once your idle it automatically stops the time. For some it may be efficient to use to see the productivity of their employees but for some that only uses hubstaff to know the total hours of work, idle may be present specially if it requires you to research and read beyond your PC or laptop.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

None that I could recall when we were using this. At first it helped with tracking hours but with it being idle when you haven't touched your keypad or mouse for 7 minutes annoys us the most!

"Track everything. Anytime. Anywhere."
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Hubstaff works both in my personal and professional life. For the former, I use it as a sort of makeshift to-do list, where I have to finish my tasks within a given amount of time. It's especially effective at helping me with this because I have a set daily routine. For the latter, we have it installed in the office. It helps our managers keep track of what we're doing all day and ensures that those who work hard are rewarded. It also tells them what we've been working on.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

It hangs up quite often, especially when updates are incoming. I noticed that it also causes my laptop to boot slower, which is why I have it disabled at startup and then I have to manually tirn it on after. Not ethat reinstalls resolve this issue.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

Hubstaff helps me at work because: - It lets me know how long I've been working on one task - It pings me on the rare ocassion when I faff about too much - It allows me to take notes of what happened during the day - It's a great way to record my own activity, which helps come performance evaluations

"Great for tracking time per tasks"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I like how I can track the time for each of my tasks. That way I know where I spent most of my time and I can adjust and plan my schedule accordingly.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

There were instances wherein newly added tasks doesn't immediately show in the list. There's no refresh or update button. So I need to log out and log in again to refresh my tasks list.

What problems is Hubstaff solving and how is that benefiting you?

Time management is a very crucial part of any business, specially for us Virtual professionals. And Hubstaff really helped in knowing how long are we spending on each tasks. and with the screenshot and keyboard-mouse activity monitoring we can determine how active our workers are.
