ActivTrak

My opinion

Kommentare: I'm very happy, never run in any error and the agent program is constantly updated

Vorteile:

ActivTrak is a powerful tool for businesses. You can watch live the efficiency of every employee, if and were their are wasting their time on internet and very discreet. You have all the data in a simple web page with a lot of option and statistics for every user.

Nachteile:

The first time you login in the dashboard, its a little weird and you need some time to find everything, how to activate account and change the settings. The installation while is very fast and easy, sometimes is blocked from antivirus programs

ActivTrak - Excellent software to aid in compliance and InsiderThreat

Kommentare: So far, we've been thoroughly pleased with the software.

Vorteile:

ActivTrak gave us further insight as to what our staff really does throughout the day, applications they run, and aid with compliance.

Nachteile:

Categorizing sites and applications takes a bit, but I don't see another way around it.

A way to see what is going on to a point

Kommentare: ActivTrak is good in some ways but needs very careful evaluation and non excessive implementation, we opted in the end to use other logging and to ensure the message was to employees we aren't sitting watching every move as doing so would alienate a highly already productive team.

Vorteile:

ActivTrak is fairly hidden though can be found by developers/competent IT people who know what to look for and it gives a way to be able to see after a fair amount of customising and configuring. Some elements such as seeing what is being used are useful but also we did seem to be logging quite excessively information we didn't need to capture.

Nachteile:

After spending a while customizing and adding what to track we did start to wonder if this too was taking more time than the benefits and it is also worth noting that ActivTrak doesn't take into account non computer based interactions so you might see a period of inactivity when someone is actually logged into a different system or on a different task then ActivTrak is blind to this interaction. We also noted that there is a risk people within your business think its a bit excessive and similar to forcing employees at home to keep a webcamera on all day.

Activtrak recommended

Kommentare: Okay overall I just wish the website was easier to use.

Vorteile:

It does the job and I'm able to see when employees are working

Nachteile:

Set up is confusing especially if you have to reinstall, as is the website. I wish I could view the screen without additional fees.

Tracking and Visibiltiy

Kommentare: Activtrak is a great tool. During the pandemic it gave us visibility to user activity and continues to assist us daily in process improvement

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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

Workforce analytics

Vorteile:

Ease of deployment, intuitive dashboard, accurate analytics and reporting

Nachteile:

Some reports and dashboard takes time to load, silent deployment could have been better

Great solution, more data would be better

Vorteile:

It is a simple tool that works really well and gives me basic information I need.

Nachteile:

I would like more specific data, it feels like for the price it needs more.

Just what our business needed

Kommentare: Our experience with ActivTrak has been positive. It meets our needs to measure productivity of our teams in office and working remotely.

Vorteile:

We are able to monitor productivity among our teams and individuals. It helps us to provide coaching to improve our empoyees.

Nachteile:

There are so many versions of reports, it can be a bit overwhelming and confusing to hone in on the exact metrics you need to measure.

Useful Tool

Kommentare: Good tool to monitor remote workers. Can be a little time consuming to dig down into reports to get the detailed info that is sometimes needed but overall it is helpful.

Vorteile:

The ability to see what our employees are working on.

Nachteile:

The reporting is sometimes a little difficult to decipher.

Thanks ActiveTrack

Kommentare: Great! I need to go to active track academy and learn how to use the software better.

Vorteile:

Great Metrics with enough detail to clearly see an employees day, how they are working, how much time they are spending on each tasks, etc.

Nachteile:

Don't have anything I an see as a con at this point.

Great way to monitor employee/team computer activity

Vorteile:

This tool allows me to track my trainees' computer activity during training

Nachteile:

I have nothing negative to say about this tool

Stay far, far away

Kommentare: Nightmare.

Vorteile:

There is really are no pros to this software.

Nachteile:

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.

Activtrak Review

Kommentare: It's been an overall great experience, their support is amazing and fast at replying, the agent does what it advertises and it has helped us greatly as of late with all the remote work being done.

Vorteile:

What we like the most is the fact that we can categorize activities as productive or unproductive, this helps us have a more accurate report when checkin out productivity and keeps us well informed of which users are accesing unproductive websites or applications, also the fact that we can customize the schedule in which the agent keeps track of activities since a lot of our employees are woking from home using their personal devices and they can use them withough worries during their free time.

Nachteile:

The installation process can sometimes be difficult as some firewalls and antivirus softwares block the agent from recording any activities, this means that even if the agent is sucessfuly installed we still don't get any records from it on that particular computer, it can be easily solved by adding exceptions to the software but not everyone is comfortable doing so since some are using their personal devices.

Best Organisation Productivity management

Kommentare: Good Product

Vorteile:

ActivTrak are very useful for our company to track our employees productivity and system activity.

Nachteile:

Based on our usage and experience there was no least about ActivTrak

Features are impeccably accurate and in line with the advertised elements

Vorteile:

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.

Nachteile:

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.

This is great software for the monitoring

Kommentare: ease of use and the reporting functionality is great, especially the full audit log of what has been happening on a computer. it even catches title bar data of when users are in incognito or private mode. this is extremely helpful, especially when you have setup screen grabbing and alerting when you have areas of concern that a member of staff is doing something inappropriatre.

Vorteile:

Its not a cheaper solution but it is a better solution if you want more detail into what your employees are doing. It really made the owner cringe at the level of detail we can see what the employees do, he almost thought it was too invasive

Nachteile:

We had some employees who were consistently missing deadlines that they shouldn't have been missing. ActivTrak enabled us to efficiently identify and address some of the employees' problematic behaviors. It worked so well that I actually installed it on my own computer to help me identify areas for improvement.

With some product development, it could become a valuable product for basis of billing

Kommentare: I tried it for a few days, then gave up as it is not meant for what I wanted to use it for.

Vorteile:

I liked that it really did track all of my computer usage seamlessly.

Nachteile:

I found the way to categorize different applications a too cumbersome on one hand and lacking in sufficient detail on other. I wanted to use this software to accurately track how much time I spend on each customer so I would have a proven basis for billing. It is not what it is originally meant for, but the billing activity tracking apps available require too much constant involvement and I hoped to get past that by tracking all my activity automatically and categorizing it to actual projects for billing. However, trying to categorize just few days of my computer usage, it was not just feasible idea. For example, I have gmail address for my personal as well as two different customer accounts, but there was no way to categorize them differently (hint - Title in web browser is different, but this cannot be used as basis for automatic categories).

Intuitive and Easy to use, Among the best

Kommentare: I travel a lot due to my work profile, Activtrak makes my employees monitoring easy.

Vorteile:

almost impossible to detect user friendly dashboard optimum space to store screenshots free to use for 3 devices simple installation process

Nachteile:

could have been more economical for paid versions. to check out pricing you have to create an account.

Active Trak has been a good basic app. It does not do the things we want it to do overall.

Kommentare: Being able to register quickly

Vorteile:

That it was available when we needed it. We needed an application that we could use almost right away. Active gave us that option.

Nachteile:

Support, I also do not like that we still are unable to do things we wanted to do from the beginning 3 years ago.

ActivTrak is very intuitive and easy to use with minimal learning curve or training.

Vorteile:

I like the fact that ActivTrak is very intuitive. The UI is well designed and the screen flow is superb. The metrics are spot on. ActivTrak enables managers or business owners to get more insight into their user's productivity level.

Nachteile:

I have been using ActivTrak in a trial environment for 6-8months now in a productive environment. My main gripe is ActivTrak should allow for more than 3 users in the free/trial version. I also find it hard to delete users from ActivTrak after you've remove their profiles from the local PC; this appears to be a bug in the software.

Absolutely great!

Vorteile:

The ease of use is the most beneficial thing about ActivTrak. The way that we can see time-shots of each occurrence/event is exceedingly important.

Nachteile:

I think if there was a way to hide the service a little better it could be even better.

Modern solutions for modern problems

Kommentare: Very positive.

Vorteile:

It was simple to implement and provides a summary of the information we need with the ability to go deeper when required.

Nachteile:

We can't store the data in our own location (cloud or otherwise)

activetrak review

Vorteile:

use as benchmark for employee productivity

Nachteile:

removal of functionality earlier this year of how active productive time and idle productive time was displayed

Great customer support, wish it had a few more features

Kommentare: Insight into user behavior

Vorteile:

Easy to install Unobtrusive and almost completely invisible to the end user Compatible with antivirus and other security applications It does what is claims to do

Nachteile:

Limited customization for enterprise type deployments, for example I would like to capture screenshots more frequently but at lower resolution No keystroke logging - I understand the philosophy behind not doing it, but enterprise customers need this functionality

Useful app for every company who wants to keep productivity on track.

Kommentare: Improve my team productivity by implementing secure ways for them to navigate and work based on their activity.

Vorteile:

You can try it first and decide if it is the proper solution, and it allows you to configure it and setup permissions. It is very useful.

Nachteile:

Once you uninstall it, and install it on other machines it will not bring the screenshots. The settings menu could be more user friendly and the stats page should allow more detailed reports.
