Excellent Product

5.0 11 months ago

Comments: In the rare instances where I've needed assistance, HubStaff's customer support has been responsive and helpful. Their team is dedicated to resolving issues promptly, ensuring that I can get back to work without any disruptions.

Pros:

As a manager of a companymanaging multiple projects and clients, the HubStaff time tracking software has proven to be an absolute game-changer for my business. Its seamless integration, user-friendly interface, and robust features have made tracking time for billing purposes a breeze, while its detailed reports have empowered me to make more informed business decisions

Cons:

As a devoted user of HubStaff, I've found the platform to be an invaluable asset in streamlining my time tracking and billing processes. However, I believe there's a significant opportunity for improvement by incorporating features that align with Israeli finance laws. Israel has unique regulatory requirements, and integrating these into HubStaff would undoubtedly elevate the platform's appeal for users in this region.

A good cheap tracking for development users on a budget

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: It is a program initially for engineers with a small budget or professionals with a low budget who want to take into account the time they spend on each work task, this is essential to be able to move forward.
It is limited so that executive staff can see the real performance of the employees below, it is closed in that sense and they do not like it.
I liked it in many functions and I would recommend it but I would make clear the problems of aspects that I found.

Pros:

This program gives me a feeling of real-time optimization. By having a clear vision of how my time is being used, I can identify areas in which they could be more efficient and make adjustments to optimize workflow in each task, this gives me a feeling of real-time optimization. I like it mainly because I don't have much time, on the other hand the prices were comfortable and sometimes you could accumulate invoices for payment the next month without penalties.

Cons:

Productivity monitoring is very limited, I think it did not allow data to be delivered to senior managers, the way to give them real-time access to the performance of our tasks was very problematic.

Neutral experience

3.0 3 months ago

Comments: I would describe it as a neutral experience. This software has as many pros as it has cons in my opinion, but regardless, most of the times it does the job, plus is has some tools that are helpful to keep track of personal tasks.

Pros:

I liked the fact that it actually gives the option to cap the worked hours and all the reminders of how many hours you have left to work, which is not something I had with previous time tracking systems.

Cons:

To be fair, the software slowed my computer down significantly, and while trying to use it in my iOS systems it would randomly stop tracking time or taking screenshots.

Huge money saver

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: I have been using Hubstaff since the start of the pandemic. It has “helped” with more accurate employee time keeping. Has definitely paid for its self multiple times over

Works fine, but not the best option on the market

3.0 4 months ago

Comments: Our employees did not find it user-friendly to begin working on different tasks with the clock running, and would often forget to switch tasks -- which resulted in an inaccurate picture of how they were spending their shifts.

Pros:

Hubstaff worked well for managing employee clock-in and clock-out, providing reports on how each team member was doing.

Cons:

Our employees would often forget to clock back in after breaks. We ultimately switched away from Hubstaff because we found a solution that worked better for our team.

Great, easy to use time clocking/punching software!

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: Hubstaff has been simple and easy to set up and easy to use.

Pros:

Hubstaff is an easy to use platform that seemlessly and easily tracks time for timesheets/payroll.

Cons:

Hubstaff is an external clocking program so the employee will need to remember to clock into hubstaff before working on a separate platform...hubstaff isnt automaticly engaged when an employee starts working. It is reliant on their memory to clock in hubstaff before accessing any other work program as opposed to auto clocking when accessing work programs automatically.

Excellent App

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall is a good tool for time tracking, is very easy to use.

Pros:

The reminders they send everyday about your productivity, your worked hours and in case you dont log in they also send you an email.

Cons:

Sometimes we are in meetings and we are not using the computer and if we dont move the mouse the hubstaff will change you to Idle and that is not fair because we are in front of the computer.

Disgraceful change of pricing

3.0 last year

Comments: Hubstaff is a greedy company not respecting yearly plans. Invoicing is shady, you keep on being charged without explanation.

Pros:

Hubstaff is a good product, but messy. Not precise enough with time tracking. Misleading.

Cons:

Too many features with a poor User Interface. Not intuitive. Too expensive.
