What is WorkTime?

WorkTime is designed to enhance productivity through effective monitoring, whether employees are working remotely or in the office. It tracks various metrics such as idle and active times, attendance, and the distinction between productive and unproductive periods, as well as software and internet usage. Unlike competitors, WorkTime operates faster and more efficiently, ensuring that your data remains secure either in the cloud or on-premises without leaving your organization. The tool respects employee privacy by focusing solely on productivity metrics, avoiding any invasive practices like capturing screenshots, keystrokes, or content from chats and emails. It is fully HIPAA compliant and has been shown to boost employee productivity by an impressive 3-20%. This increase is particularly significant given that employees typically spend 2-20% of their time on personal matters, including poor attendance, idleness, and socializing. By minimizing idle time, WorkTime not only enhances productivity but also fosters better attendance and discipline among employees. Furthermore, it provides a transparent view of how software and computers are utilized, allowing organizations to address issues effectively.

    Simple and effective tool

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 25 2025
    Summary

    If you want to keep an eye on what employees are working on, this is a solid option. It shows you the details clearly, and that’s helpful.

    Positive

    Even beginners can pick it up quickly. Adding new team members and tracking what they’re doing is straightforward. The dashboard is clear and easy to read. It’s great to see exactly what everyone is working on. Support answers are thoughtful too.

    Negative

    It’s not perfect, but for most tasks, WorkTime does the job without issues.

    Opened my eyes to how days really go

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 08 2025
    Summary

    It gave me a clearer picture of our daily rhythm. Now we plan meetings around the hours when people are actually focused, instead of guessing

    Positive

    I always thought I had a good sense of how people spent their time, but the reports caught things I’d never have noticed. One teammate was sharp in the mornings but basically done by late afternoon, while another was the opposite. Before, I just assumed everyone worked the same way

    Negative

    Sometimes I wish the graphs were a bit easier to read at a glance, but it’s not a dealbreaker

    Helped control overtime of employees

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Nov 18 2024
    Summary

    One of my employees was deceiving me. He was taking advantage of overtime work—every month, he claimed to have worked after hours and on weekends, and I had to pay him extra. I don’t mind paying for additional time, but only when it’s really necessary. I started noticing that he was always claiming overtime, no matter how many tasks there were. If there were few tasks, he worked overtime; if there were many, he did too. So, I decided to implement a monitoring system. Thanks to this, I discovered that the employee was marking overtime as being done outside of working hours when in reality, he was doing it during regular hours.

    Positive

    The monitoring system helped me spot discrepancies in time tracking and uncover the employee's overtime manipulation. Thanks to this, I was able to save the company’s budget and ensure fairness for all employees.

    Negative

    To be honest, I didn't find any shortcomings. Everything is going smoothly and nothing negative has happened yet.

    Confidentiality

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 09 2024
    Summary

    We were looking for a tool to effectively manage team work time, and the program completely met our expectations. Data security is important to us, and I appreciate that the program does not take screenshots of the desktop or webcam, and it does not record personal data. The ability to store data on our server provides an additional sense of security. For those who value reliability and confidentiality, this is an excellent solution.

    Positive

    You can choose the depth of monitoring yourself, the program does not take screenshots of your desktop or webcam, no personal data is recorded, and tracking data can be stored on your computer/server. No issues with the antivirus

    Negative

    Setting up some of the features initially seemed complicated but the technical support quickly helped us figure it out, and we were able to get the program up and running smoothly

    A real lifesaver for our company

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jun 07 2024
    Summary

    Our employees are located in different time zones around the world, and each of them starts and finishes work at different times.
    Previously this was difficult to control. Now, we can set individual work schedules days off and lunch breaks for each of them. Compiling a monthly report of hours worked no longer comes as a shock to me.

    Positive

    Helps effectively manage employees in different time zones while also allowing for personalized work schedules days off, and breaks.

    Negative

    Everything works great for me. There isn't a single thing that I don't like.

    An ideal solution for remote teams

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 18 2024
    Summary

    We have some outsourced employees, so it was challenging for managers to keep track of their day. We installed this tool, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer. It automatically tracks time spent on tasks, making management much easier.

    Positive

    Everything is automated, with tons of useful reports that make managing outsourced employees much easier.

    Negative

    I haven’t found anything major to complain about, but I do wish there was a feature for tracking offline meetings.

    Good for employee performance tracking

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 01 2024
    Summary

    I have a positive impression of WorkTime. We've been using it in our company for several months now, primarily to monitor overall employee performance, and didn't have any issues so far. It has helped us in overcoming the challenge of manually tracking employee work. Now we have a clearer picture of our employees' productivity and workload.

    Positive

    I didn't have any problems with installing the software, even though we use the soft for a big company with both in-office and remote employees.

    Negative

    There is no option to choose certain design features, like font and its size, which I lacked a bit.

    Great customer service

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 14 2024
    Summary

    It was my first time installing employee monitoring for my team as a manager, and even though the installation process was quick, I had many questions about functionality and wanted to know details about productivity reports. Customer service was very nice and quick and answered all of my questions and addressed privacy concerns. Use WorkTime for 3 months now, and everything goes smoothly.

    Positive

    Quick answers from customer service. Consultants are nice and very helpful and answer all the questions.

    Negative

    No design options to customize reports' look. It would be nice if I could change the color and fonts of them.

    Accurate and reliable information

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Jul 30 2024
    Summary

    I manage projects. It's challenging to monitor the activity and productivity of each team member. After implementing the program I was able to obtain data that helped streamline processes and enhance overall productivity. "What's now" report is my favorite as it provides real-time information about employees.

    Positive

    It provides accurate and reliable information about employees, making time management easier. It genuinely increases productivity and attendance. It’s easy to install and use.

    Negative

    During my use, I haven't found any drawbacks it's been a useful tool for improving productivity.

    Good tool

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Oct 28 2024
    Summary

    A good tool for tracking working hours. It helps to track the workload of employees. Thanks to a large number of reports, it is convenient to analyze productivity.

    Positive

    A convenient tool that helps reduce overtime and increase work efficiency. Suitable for both office and remote workers. Has an intuitive interface. Easy to analyze productivity data

    Negative

    Everything works fine, but I would like to have a 'Repetitive Task Analysis' report that would show how much time an employee spends on repetitive tasks.

    Summary

    This tool has helped us optimize our meetings and improve their organization. We realized we were spending too much time on unnecessary and lengthy meetings. Now, we can easily track how much time each meeting takes. It's a great tool for streamlining the workflow

    Positive

    Prevents long meetings and improves time management. Helps analyze where time is being spent during work.

    Negative

    I didn't find any significant shortcomings worth mentioning.

    Simple and easy software to track computer activity

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 19 2024
    Summary

    Chose WorkTime to monitor my working routine to possibly find an area to improve my productivity. Didn’t have any issues so far (I’ve been using it for a couple of months). Really enjoyed the affordable price.

    Positive

    Easy to use, clear design, and very understandable system to install and start monitoring. Many reports.

    Negative

    I would like to have more reports oriented not to a team but to a single user, maybe also some alarms to start work or have a break.

    Positive

    Helps monitor employees, their active time, and attendance and helps increase productivity in the team.

    Summary

    This software is impressive. It's a great value for the money and has proven to be incredibly useful, especially in navigating the challenges of hybrid work environments.

    Positive

    Reports on remote work. A nice feature to compare activities in the office versus from home. Rely on this data.

    Negative

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Mar 25 2024
    Summary

    WorkTime's quick installation process streamlines onboarding for our large corporation. Although font preferences may vary, the software functionality itself remains top-notch.

    Positive

    It was quick to install, even for our big company with several offices across the country. We didn’t run into any technical difficulties.

    Negative

    I don't like the font and there is no option to change it or adjust it to my taste. I’d love to have it more customized.

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Apr 02 2024
    Summary

    WorkTime is a great employee monitoring solution. Track active time and productivity without privacy concerns. The prices are affordable as well.

    Positive

    WorkTime does not capture any private information or take screenshots/videos. It was hard to find such an option and I am glad we found a perfect solution for our company.

    Negative

    I really like that WorkTime has many reports on productivity. I would love to see some more on well-being or maybe burnout.

    The perfect trial experience

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 10 2024
    Summary

    I tried the 14-day trial and was really pleased with it. Having the full version for two weeks is perfect if you’re thinking of setting up monitoring. It makes tracking work hours super convenient. During the trial, I was even able to improve attendance, employees who were often late stopped being late. The team accepted it well since the software doesn’t interfere with personal privacy or take screenshots. It’s respectful and secure

    Positive

    The best part is the full trial version without limits, two weeks was enough to actually boost the team’s productivity. Plus, the team took it well, no one had any issues with it

    Negative

    I haven’t found any drawbacks so far. There are plenty of reports, and the system runs smoothly. I’m happy with everything

    Very effective monitoring tool

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Dec 19 2024
    Summary

    When we first started using this tool, I was pretty skeptical. I thought it would be too intrusive, but the team was facing real productivity issues, especially with remote workers. After a month of using the software, we saw an improvement in productivity. For example, one of our employees didn’t realize how much time they were spending on social media. They thought it was just a quick check of their feed, but it turned out they were spending two hours on it. The reports clearly showed where and how much time was being wasted.

    Positive

    Easy to set up with an intuitive interface. Ideal for remote teams, it’s non-intrusive and effective.

    Negative

    I can't think of anything I dislike. Maybe I'd change the color scheme, but that's a minor detail and doesn't affect the functionality or my overall impression.

    Customizable Email Alerts

    5 out of 5 stars Date: Sep 05 2024
    Summary

    I like it, especially the automatic reports. I set a 15-minute window for lateness so if an employee doesn’t start working within 15 minutes of the workday beginning, I get a notification. It’s convenient and helps keep everything under control."

    Positive

    You can set time intervals for lateness, inactivity or unproductiveness and receive automatic notifications.

    Negative

    I haven’t found any downsides after a year of use. I’m completely satisfied.

    Good HIPAA compliant employee monitoring

    4 out of 5 stars Date: Feb 26 2024
    Summary

    We switched to WorkTime a year ago, because we were not sure about privacy with our previous software and since we work with confidential information we really were concerned about data leakage. Looked for more secure options and found WorkTime. WorkTime is compliant with all privacy regulations, and we can now monitor employee computer activity without those concerns.

    Positive

    Compliant with our local data privacy laws, and also HIPAA compliant. No concerns about private information leakage.

    Negative

    The software doesn’t have a report on employee well-being, which would be really helpful to have. But I like the general respectful approach to monitoring.
