"Nice experience"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Hubstaff give great tracking reports, allowing you to filter by any mean. It's a great app to track your freelancers.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The desktop app is a little bit annoying for the freelancers, and also it's not fast and easy to manually add time to your sheet.

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

Tracking of freelancers. The benefits have been really accurate and easy to get a way of knowing how much should I get or pay for the work.

"A very nice time tracking tool"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

The ability to be able to start and stop working when I want and have it well tracked.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Although the screenshot functionality is important, there should be a way for us to delete up to 5 screenshots per day which may have confidential information like passwords. Even at work, my passwords should be private. Always. And if I click on one of those "see password" buttons and it takes a screenshot of it, that is a privacy breach.

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

It provides capability to track correctly user's work time and see if they really are doing what they should be doing.

"Owner"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I love the dashboard and ability to store contractor and client pay/bill. I also think the customer service has been great.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

I don't like that you can't use the Client field in the basic. I asked to pay just for that feature and was unable to. I also don't like that the ability to integrate into QB online doesn't work in a practical way. I had to buy an API so we could use both. I also wish I was able to store the client's email in their profile so we didn't' have to enter the email each time we send a report.

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

Having billing and pay info in one place

"Comprehensive Toolkit"

The basic functionalities are easy to grasp, and further options are provided for a great personalised experience. The website has more functions, while the iOS App has a few basic options.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The phone applications could be optimised. Viewing the website on theiOS Hubstaff App cuts off many crucial buttons as the user is unable to scroll sideways.

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

Employee hours management, project management.

"Good software but % isn't always accurate"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I like that employers can see what their employees are up to during their shifts, although the screenshotting is a little intrusive. But to see a general % of work being done and sites visited, as well as any feedback from the employee on what happened and why is great.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Screenshots are unnecessary. If any employer has the time to look at the hundreds of shots throughout the day, that's a lot of wasted time. Also, the % of work being "done" isn't always accurate depending on the position. For example, a writing or research-based job takes more time to look at/make sense of things before starting on the work, so it may show only 20% active when the employee is using that other 80% to research/read/understand. Whereas someone in data entry may show 90% work being done, since it's a very active-typing job.

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

Tracking of employee time and effort.

"Easy to use, decent pricing."
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

No frills time tracker (at least with how our company is using it) that accomplishes the core function well. Tracks time consistently and has easy to read/access reports.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Did run into some bugs with it working consistently early on, but using the chrome extension has resolved those issues.

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

Tracking time for a remote work force. Having a system that helps keep people honest beyond just the honor system.

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

Nothing. There wasn't anything wrong with it.

"Tracking our Remote Team"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

I like the automatic screenshot/activity capture functions. I like having daily team activity reports. It really gives me visibility into my operation!

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

I don't think the integrations are well developed at this point. The Quickbook integration doesn't give enough flexibility to actually use it the way our business requires. The Hubstaff tasks integration doesn't allow for timesheets to be updated after it syncs from HS to HS Tasks. Even if you use the delay option, you have to catch an issue relatively quick before the tracked time is locked.

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

We have gained a functional way to track our entire remote team. Our managers now have visibility into what each team member is doing, and the screenshots to accompany any timesheet!

"There is a flaw in your system"
What do you like best about Hubstaff?

Tracking the independent contractors Screenshots Chat Overall an okay system

What do you dislike about Hubstaff?

The inaccuracy that the contractor gets to change their invoice even tho the time tracking shows otherwise. Due to this I may chane time management soon.

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

The activity reports equaling the independent contractors invoice
