ActivTrak reviews

Again, it was easy to install and it perfomed to the client standards., We gathered intel on the particular subject an employee he wanted to investigare and he was satisfied with results.

The project was a pilot and it lasted one two weeks, the difficult part was uninstalling the software. It also slowed down the workstation and there were some issues with the installation and some security pop-ups came up. Client was upset and to this day we did not get paid for our work.

Activtrak gives management and users the ability to see what they are viewing as well as KPI Reporting to track productivity of users so that evaluations can be made of how to improve a user or particular positions productivity.

Inability to import activtrack users. Upgrading to a newer version sometimes loses the continuity for a person.

There is really are no pros to this software.

I would not recommend ActivTrak to my worst enemy. Good luck trying to cancel it when it does not work for you. I tried cancelling it and they wouldn't so I cancelled the card and now they are trying to send me a bill for a month I was not even using the software. Finally had to turn them over to our legal counsel today.

The recent screen-shots feature gives an employer, an actual view of an employee's
activities. In addition to that, an employer can also see what an employee is doing in real-time.
The alarm feature is also a great way of alerting an employer that an employee is spending
time on unproductive activities. Furthermore, an employer can know what an employee is
spending most of his/her time doing. This can help the employer better allocate tasks as
required to the employee or make some other decision.
It does more than track an employee. It also can do the job of a router or firewall by blocking access to certain websites.

One of the features about rescue time I really like is the weekly digest feature which is
available in ActivTrak.

The single page approach taken makes ActiveTrak easy to use and overall user friendly.

The Color and lack of appealing graphics for the graphs and charts in the administrative panel. The layout and balance between positive(non-white)space and negative(white) space.

Monitoring employee inefficiency and ensuring top quality and productivity. You can get real-time screenshots showing exactly what each user is doing. Even if the computer is offline the program will store all the history and screenshots and make them available as soon as you are back online

Nothing. This software is amazing. The only thing that could be different is if we didn't need to re-install the software for the major updates.

We suggest this product any time our customers need to track employee internet usage.

The time line and screen shot features are very nice to see what an employee is doing through out the day.

The price is a little higher than I would expect

The user can uninstall it if they have admin access. Not really a con but it is good to know this

I like that i can do so much and it is so simple to use and understand. Other programs i was looking into were a little harder to understand and had too much going on. I like simple and straight to the point!

I guess the only thing is that some of the more advanced features i had to play around with as they are not that simple to understand but once i really looked into them i understood how to use them.

It's very easy to stay on top of things like making sure people are doing what they are supposed to. The screenshots are also a good way to check. The admin section is easy to use and understand.

It would be nice to be able to filter out idle time. Then I could check a range of time to see how much work was done, not including idle time.

Easy to use and navigate. Simple layout so can quickly learn way around it. Most accurate in information and reports than other applications.

Pulls up a completely history from several past years verses whats recent.

I like the most the dashboard where you can find all kind of information easily. You can access all the stats, reports ... everything ! The team did great job and I like it.

There is only one thing that I think can be improved. The quality of emails we receive about overview can be increased. That will help to maintain all the other stuff easily.

The ability to monitor employees’ and their workstations through a single interface is an upgrade in my work area. Time tracking and productivity analysis have helped me greatly in my work and are currently my favorite features out of all the great features of Activtrak. I have tried other software with similar promoted features but it slows the system down, with ActivTrak, the system works well and there seems to be no lag period. It is great.

A live feed of the employees’ screen is not available. It would be a great addition if features include live feed because as of now, screenshots are just available.

1. it can save the screenshot to see what exactly the actives are.
2. it can maintain a block website list.

The website block is only working on the main domain, the root website, like www.google.com. It is better to add a sub-website block. For example, we don't want to block google website; but some game under google.com need to be blocked. Now we cannot do that.

The features ActivTrak offers are more than required by any person. It is full of stuff that you can utilize for the best productivity. The Agent file is very reliable and completely hidden. ActivTrak also gives you the free 3GB data plan for up to 3 different users.

It is really hard to tell about the cons. A few things could be improved like the real time screenshots are bugged out sometimes, you need to refresh the page and the incorrect page title with the different screenshot happens often.

The ease of installation along with the multitude of reports

I wish the software could be user-based rather than per machine - when users hotdesk, this will knock out our licensing and stop reporting until it is noticed/dealt with

This software let our company provide a more secure environment and add our final customers proof of that we have no "strange" vulnerabilities.

You need a lot of time to deploy and and make actualizations on the information you need to have a 100% service up and working.

ease of use. The menu was well designed and each category was easy enough to compare via the graphs. over all very clean

.slow to access different screenshots It was very slow when changing from screenshots to simple data

You can track productivity of your employees by categorized application, website in to productivity and unproductive. Every screenshot captured secretly.

Limitation of storage space there should be any provision link with box,one drive or dropbox so that all file can moved or save to these drives.

Excellent Software for a Cheap Price. Yes, this software gives more than what we are paying for. Seeing my Team's productivity is really important to me and this software helps me alot.

I can view what our employees are doing on their computer.

Sometimes have troubles with upgrades, like a computer not upgrading.

Its easy to install even for a person without much computer knowledge

doesn't work all the time and process of trouble shooting is too hard
