Excellent product
Overall I am very happy with the product. The customer service is exceptional. I cannot rave enough on that. I always get a response almost immediately and that in itself makes this an awesome product.
Pros
It's very easy to use and implement. The customer service is awesome.
Cons
I cannot enter our holidays across the board for all employees. I have to enter each holiday for each employee individually which is very time consuming. Also wish there was a way to make a group punch, such as when we were closed due to power outage or because of a hurricane evacuation, etc..... and employees received admin leave with pay. I had to enter each one individually. Our employees are not allowed to enter or make adjustments on their time sheets. They can only clock in and out.

Great Dev Side - Maybe Some UI improvements
Solid. Easy for my managers to communicate, easy for clocking in and out, the application itself is quick. 9/10 just a bit too dated on the HTML/CSS/ JS side.
Pros
Well, it works. Buttons go where you need them to. Clocking in and out is the main point and it's easy to do. I've never had any api call or server errors. Everything seems up to speed.
Cons
It's a bit of an eyesore. I like the idea of a top nav with icons, but I'm not always sure which one to click on. I don't think you should have to think about a nav bar. Also, there's a lot of extra stuff on my home dashboard that I just don't need. I just need the clock in/out / break section, and the number of hours ive worked that week. The notifications on the left usually aren't that useful to me, but I can see why they're there. Beyond that, I rarely scroll to the bottom. Also the icons throughout look extremely outdated. Maybe it's the combination with the color palette? Maybe white icons? I get the honeybee idea, but I'm not sure all of the icons need to be black or with such heavy line weights.

Great Tracking!
We have been able to drastically reduce out absenteeism and tardiness, the employees are held accountable for their actions and can see it in one dashboard. Prior to this we did not have a time clock, and had tons of late employees as well as tardy employees. the point system for absences was a great way for the employees to realize the amount of call offs they made
Pros
The ease of seeing all reporting employees in one location
Cons
I had some issues when attempting to export the reports for payroll records

Budget Friendly Employee Time Management
For day to day use, the platform is fine. honeybeeBase meets our current needs and we've been happy with the customer support and overall price point.
Pros
The software is simple to use once you understand its application. For a simple time management tool, it is priced very well and works for our small office.
Cons
The design is relatively simple and navigating to where you need to be can take a few unnecessary steps.

"Tracking my students at clinical"
We did a trial semester then a full semester and now are continuing to use the product.
Pros
I could easily get a message from my students when they arrived and left clinical.
I could text back and forth with my group.
I could follow their attendance.
I could document if they were late.
Cons
My students forget to sign in or out. It needs an alarm clock reminder.

Honeybeebase
We have worked through some of the quirks and are becoming more familiar with it.
Pros
I like the look of the software and it is somewhat easy to use.
Cons
I wish they would tell you during the trial period that there isn't really phone support to help you set your organization up.
Response from honeybeeBase
Thank you for the feedback! Our phone support is available to both subscribed clients and those on trial to make sure we help you get your account up and running. Sometimes we do experience higher call volume that may require you to leave a message on our support line, but our team will always try to return your call as soon as possible. We are also always happy to provide email or web conference support as well!

Honeybee Base Review
I think this is one of the easiest time recording systems I've ever used before. Like I said before, the interface is user friendly and intuitive.
Pros
Very easy to use. It was so simple, I found the interface intuitive and user friendly.
Cons
Every know and then we'd experience some glitches, as far as not recording clocking in, or out.

Easy, Inexpensive, and just what we needed!
We were using call logs previously to track our employee hours, time off, etc. It was SO much work. Once we implemented Honeybee, it went SO much more smoothly. And the integration with QuickBooks is an added bonus!
Pros
I love the ease of use for the employees clocking in and out, sending notes to their supervisors, and overall time-tracking.
Cons
It took me just a little bit to figure out some of the in-depth settings, like locking it to a specific terminal, but with the help of their Customer Support, we got it figured out pretty quickly.

Working Time
Pros
I like the different options and how easy they are to use on looking back on your time card. I like being able to see if someone has went in and changed my hours.
Cons
That you have to have internet to be able to use it. If you dont have good service it can throw your time off.

Finally a service that does what it claims to do
Pros
I love everything about HBB especially the APP! It's very easy to use and extremely user friendly. I love that you can set multiple time zones. We have locations all over the US and having the time zones set for specific employees is a god send!
Cons
I don't like that you can't edit an employees timecard in real time. You have to wait until the employee ends the shift to make any changes.

Fantastic software that is accurate and easy to use.
The price, service, and actual product it great. Reports are neat and much easier to use than our last company we were using.
Pros
This software is extremely user-friendly. We have employees from all age ranges and everyone uses it daily with ease. The customer service is also phenomenal. Extremely fast with their responses to any questions we have. They provide hands-on training, and so much more. Can't recommend enough.

I am a user and I create schedules for one location
It is great for clocking employees in and out. It is a great way to communicate schedules.
Pros
Clocking in is easy, and communication between staff members is possible.
Cons
It was very difficult and took many tries over about a month to add a person to create the schedule at one location. Finally got it to work, but not sure how we did it.
