## Reviews

### "WorkTime - Marathon Hardware" — 5.0/5

> **Rory** | *6 May 2026* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: WorkTime has tremendous flexibility when it comes to tracking employees productivity. You have the ability to drill down on various processes to readily identify exactly what it is users are doing. The learning curve is quite easy and excellent value for money.
> 
> **Cons**: I have no Cons. WorkTime has delivered the product and functionality as promised. I am very satisified with it.
> 
> My experience so far has been great. Responses to queries are replied to very quickly. Service is excellent and the reporting options cover just about anything you would require.

### "A great app for insight into team management without feeling like Big Brother" — 5.0/5

> **Mark** | *8 January 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is the least intrusive monitoring software I've found to keep track of staff working from home. It keeps an eye on system use without spying on the employee. Managers are able to get the metrics they need and employees don't feel like they're being micromanaged or their privacy is being invaded.
> 
> **Cons**: I'm not impressed with the way it deals with hours of operation. None of our employees work the exact same hours and they never take breaks or lunch at the same time. It seems to skew some of the productivity reports. There may be a different way to set this up, but I haven't found it.
> 
> I really like Worktime. I've been vehemently against monitoring software my entire career, but Worktime seems to skate a fine line between monitoring productivity and retaining a sense of privacy. Worktime gives us some insight into why top performers in a department might be succeeding where other employees are struggling. As we hire more and more staff that are hybrid or full time work from home, worktime helps us see who's actually working and who's not.

### "Excellent time management" — 5.0/5

> **Justin** | *13 November 2024* | Farming | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of setup and use. Deployment was easy.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing. The built in reports are set out of the box to work
> 
> It’s a fantastic reporting tool that any business should be running

### "Powerful Monitoring Tool with Strong Reporting Depth" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *12 February 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: WorkTime provides detailed visibility into user activity, clearly showing how time is spent and where effort is concentrated. It made performance monitoring straightforward and supported data-driven conversations with team members. The time-stamping functionality was also practical for attendance and accountability. I appreciated that the platform is lightweight and data-focused — information is presented in a simplified, text-based format, which keeps it efficient and easy to interpret without unnecessary complexity.
> 
> **Cons**: The interface can feel somewhat complex, particularly due to the number of configuration options available. Not all features are intuitively labeled, which can make initial setup and navigation less straightforward for managers and team members. Additionally, from a cost-benefit perspective, senior management viewed the pricing as relatively high compared to the perceived utility, which ultimately contributed to the decision to discontinue the platform.
> 
> Overall, my experience with WorkTime was positive from a performance management and oversight perspective. It provided strong visibility into user activity and supported structured, evidence-based discussions around productivity and accountability. The reporting depth was valuable when managing a team and monitoring workload distribution.&#10;&#10;However, the platform requires a learning curve due to its range of features, and its pricing may not align with the needs of smaller or cost-sensitive teams. In the right environment—where detailed monitoring and data transparency are priorities—it can be an effective management tool.

### "Increased Revenue and reduce cost" — 5.0/5

> **David** | *8 October 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Most of the employees I have do a very good job. With this program the employees that I lose money on I can see why and what people they are doing. It has allowed me to increase profitability by showing holes in my systems.  It allowed me to pick up more customers with the same amount of people
> 
> **Cons**: Really nothing. It has accomplished exactly what I needed. Normally I would say the cost but because of the increased profitability the cost is nothing
