DeskTime: Great, But with Some Limitations
While DeskTime offers excellent time-tracking and productivity insights, there are a few aspects that could be improved. The automatic tracking feature is helpful, but
pricing a bit high, especially for smaller teams or individual professionals. A more flexible pricing structure could make it more accessible.
Despite these minor drawbacks, DeskTime remains a powerful tool for productivity tracking, and with a few tweaks, it could be even better! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Since I started using DeskTime, I've noticed a big difference in how I organize my days. It allows me to see where I spend my time and easily spot distractions or tasks that take longer than expected. Thanks to its reports and automatic tracking, I can plan better, prioritize what’s important, and stay focused. It's a very useful tool if you're looking to improve your productivity and get a clear overview of your daily work. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with DeskTime, but if I had to point out something to improve, it would be the accuracy of the automatic activity tracking. Sometimes it classifies certain apps or websites as "unproductive" when I'm actually using them for work-related tasks. It would be great if category customization were a bit more intuitive or automated. That said, it's still a very useful tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Desktime is very userfriendly and also me and my team can manage time and workflow, and mainly as project lead i can measure the productivity of my employees with its in dept application usage details such as which all sites they have visted in browser and other applications.

The only thing i have noticed that Desktime cannot be started from system start by default, i need to start manually or configure it in startup application, it there is an option to run this application on startup it will be very useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are a software development company that caters to the international market. Qualhon Informatics partners with clients all across the world and DeskTime has contributed to our consistent, high-quality results by helping us oversee all operations efficiently. It has sufficiently streamlined the workflow by helping us have a clear view of the team’s productivity with logged hours, eliminate distractions by supervising work patterns and keep track of the progress of different projects.
Managing a remote or hybrid work culture has become easier with DeskTime as it introduced more transparency among the team. The automated time tracking, monitored app usage, URL and project tracking lets the team be more accountable for the way they spend their workday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DeskTime is a boon for companies but could be a bane too if not implemented properly. It’s very important that the team is clear about the purpose of the implementation of such tracking tools and does not develop a sense of being micromanaged. There has to be mutual trust among the team and the company to use the valuable insights and features of the tool constructively.
A noticeable concern with DeskTime is that it still lacks advanced AI based detection or anomaly tracking features that could identify any manipulative behaviors of the user. Better detection mechanisms are required to check for any cheat tools or ways that may be used to mislead the company about the activity logs.
Talking about features, DeskTime may also benefit by expanding the integrations so there’s even better monitoring across platforms. Additionally, some syncing issues with the idle time detector can be checked. Besides these points, DeskTime is a useful tool and works in our favor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the Startup feature on desktime is not there while installing the application, our team needed manually to configure and moving mouse and keyboard endlessly also approves as productive behaviour. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is user-friendly and provides valuable insights that have made a real difference in my daily workflow. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their time management and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only thing I find a bit frustrating is that I'm not entirely sure about the difference between "productive time" and DeskTime time.
I find it a bit confusing, and I think more clarity in how these metrics are defined and calculated would really improve the overall experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The most beneficial thing about desktime is that the tracking device for which software we are using in a day how much time we are spending on actually code that is also record.it is very ease to use .the implementation process is also very easy.to use this software at daily basis is also very helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the dislike about desktime that it will not properly showing what we are using in chrome and just showing the particular application spent time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The same account runs on any computer with the same email login. As a manager I can see what my employees worked on. Absence calendar and manual input of the offline time . Exports and mostly, how it automatically runs in the background. Creating work schedules, departments a individual settings for each employee. Easy set up by employees without any need of an IT input. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes it does not log time, it goes offline without any obvious cause and we usually find out only after a whole day.
We use DeskTime to track presence, vacations etc. and what I would appreciate is a possibility of entering only a half a day leave/vacation. The same with doctor´s leave; sometimes it is only 2 hours and maybe I have not discovered a feature but I cannot properly calculate time at work for the whole months and the number of hours on doctor´s leave.
We need a monthly report for the purpose of calculating wages as well as for an inspection of the social security. The export must clearly state number of hours at work and in case of flexible hours, the average. The average time spent at work should consider also situations where there is a half a day vacation. Currently I calculate it manually into an exported table from DeskTime.
I miss notifications when anything awaits my approval. Not by email as that is annoying but a pop up type notification.
The graphical part under My DeskTime with effectiveness, productivity etc. is to me annoying and not useful as not all employees work 100% on the computer and in general it seems irrelevant to me at least.
There are many features we cannot use due to the nature of our services but the pro version for example does not include the absence calendar which seems to me as a basic feature. Maybe more variable pricing plans. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DeskTime is a tool of clarity. It records and it reveals. For our team, it ensures every hour worked is an hour paid.
For our clients, it is proof. Not promises or platitudes, but precision. There is no room for confusion, no tolerance for waste. DeskTime brings order to our company by tracking screenshots, idle times, and overall productivity so we have an instant window into their days and can make sure they are on track. It's easy to deploy, and even easier to use. We use it daily and have integrated it seamlessly into our overall client billing system.
Our law firm uses it for all of our support staff, and we wouldn't be without it. A+ software - Desktime does exactly what we needed, and then gets out of the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
After using Desktime for 2 years, I have no cons about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
DeskTime provides a simple and intuitive way to track productivity and time spent on various tasks. I really appreciate its automated time tracking, project tracking, and detailed reports that help visualize how time is allocated during the workday. It's very easy to set up and integrates well with daily workflows. The real-time tracking feature gives a clear overview of productive vs. unproductive activities, which is extremely useful for both individuals and teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing that could be improved is the flexibility of categorizing productive vs. unproductive apps — sometimes apps I use for work get marked as unproductive by default. Also, occasional minor bugs with the desktop app updates could be smoothed out to improve the overall experience. It would be great to have more customization options in reporting and dashboard views. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
