At our company we are using Hubstaff since quite some time already.
Advantages are:
-
It connects very well with Asana (You can sync every Hubstaff project with an Asana project) - you can set a budget per Hubstaff project either in hours or amount
-
The Hubstaff-Asana integration logs time through comments or notes. When logging time daily a new comment will be added each day for users who track time on tasks. This is how it would look like in Asana then
This is a very good tool to measure the efficiency of team members and also monitor how long tasks take, etc
Up until recently, this was only possible for main tasks in a project so we had to find a workaround for subtasks but since a few weeks it also shows subtasks in the Hubstaff tracker without having to add the Asana project to the subtasks as well.
-
Hubstaff tracking can be done via the desktop app, chrome extension, mobile phone
-
You can enable screenshot taking in various intervals, blur them, etc and you can monitor the activity also by URLs and apps the team visits
-
You can set up work orders at a fixed budget and you can set up team schedules, manual time entries, set up going into idle (meaning when there is no activity for a set period of time such as 5min, 10min, etc)
Here is an example of how you could set up budgets per project:
- You can automate payroll via Hubstaff
- Bit costly if you have a lot of team members that work a few hours only per week ($10 per user on the flexible plan but there are discount levels also on fixed plans)
I have been also using Worksnaps in the past which works well too, not that many features but for basic use served quite well.
So since we have been using Hubstaff we are quite impressed as it has so many features + they are constantly adding more and whenever you share feedback they are really active to try and implement.
