ClockShark

Pros

ClockShark is a tool that helps in time-keeping efficiently. It has a very user-friendly interface. It can also integrate with other tools and help track time. Its pricing is also very competitive. It also helps manage payroll and track employee progress.

Cons

Customer support needs to be enhanced. Also, sometimes GPS time tracking shows some lag. Otherwise, it is a good tool to use.

Pros

It's easy for my guys to clock in and out. Reminds them when they get to the job sites (if I remember to add the GeoFence, see my Cons section for my gripe with that), Sends them a notification every morning reminding them to clock in (it's been a hassle to get some of them to remember..).

Cons

The geofence cannot be enabled by default when adding a new job. I use Zapier to create my jobs in Clockshark and there's no way to automatically enable the geofence. That's my only qualm with Clockshark to date and we've been using them for nearing 4 years.

Pros

I need a stripped down version of this. I don’t/won’t use many of the features behind the simple time keeping app entered manually end of day

Cons

How I’m paying as much as we do for as little of it that we use

Pros

Love the fact that it is customizable and does not require service for the user to clock in or out.

Cons

I think it could be less costly but that’s like anything else these days.

Reasons for Switching to ClockShark

Pros

User-friendly application , when switching from project to another project , time will round up , no odd minutes. Great integration with accounting software using webconnector. Reports can be modified to fit criteria such as time by project , time by division,, ets.

Cons

Package not flexible, you have to pay for any additional user. Could be costly if you aren't budgeting your needs. No other modules except time tracking

Pros

The time management is what we like most about ClockShark and the GPS Track. Excellent way to manage employees at multiple locations.

Cons

The PTO feature is good but a bit hard to modify but it does an excellent job banking PTO earned if you live in a State that legislates PTO programs.

Reasons for Switching to ClockShark

Pros

Everything for the most part is great. Geofencing, uploading documents for easy access, payroll friendly, employee time sheet accountability.

Cons

I do NOT like the fact that if my employees get to the job early and clock in when they get there, say 6:45am for a 7am start I can't have the system round their start time to 7am. Not having this one feature costs me thousands a year and probably more than what I am saving by switching to Clock Shark from my previous system. This seems like a very easy thing to program into the system, and I don't know why Clock Shark can't figure that out.

Reasons for Switching to ClockShark

Pros

Easy to use, Gps tracking, job costing features.

Cons

Expenses and limited integrations, lack of customization in reports

Pros

Accurate time tracking with GPS for field teams.

Cons

Reporting features could be more detailed.

Pros

The overall convenience and ease and how quickly they responded to my dilemma.

Cons

I cannot think of any cons about Clockshark

Pros

The ease of use. Both in the office and in the field.

Cons

More functionality within the schedule tab. That is where we use it the most. Would be nice to be able to use the available functions without having to leave the tab'

Pros

I like that I can see where my team is and see how long they have been working for.

Cons

I wish I could click a button to update everyones location to see exactly where they are at that moment. I don't like that PTO is not offered on the standard plan, that is another feature I would like to use but I don't need all the other stuff that comes with the pro plan.

Pros

ClockShark has made our business run more efficient!!! We schedule employees to work multiple job locations, we can confirm their work time / location with the GPS feature and have their timesheets online. Customer service is great, they hire great people to answer any question you may have - if they don't know they get back with you. The mobile app is easy for the employees to learn & use.

Cons

I would like the worked time to reset at midnight, but they are working on it.

Pros

The time clock function is user friendly for the admin and the users. The adding projects, employees and modifying anything is a mistake happens (an employee doesn't clock in or out) is very user friendly. I have enjoyed implementing this for my team.

Cons

I would like access to job lists, employee lists, currently you have to contact Clock Shark to get those reports. I would like to be able to list sick time as a zero hour item. Just to have my payroll records match my reports

Pros

Ease of reporting, mobile access, accuracy of GPS

Cons

I didn't like that you had to have a person clock out to adjust their time on the same day

Pros

The support team has been the best part about ClockShark. We always receive quick responses when we have issues and they are resolved in a timely manner.

Cons

The GPS fencing seems to be a little unreliable at time, but I know that has to do with many different factors.

Pros

Easy to use and train staff how to use.

Cons

When updating schedules Clockshark refreshes and doesn't return to the area I was working on. I always need to spend time scrolling back to the staff I was updating.

Pros

It was very useful to be able to have employees clock in at specific jobs to be able to properly cost a job.

Cons

Only the certain people can add just which is beneficial but hard when it is. Last minute job for employees to clock into.

Pros

The time clock management has already saved me money in the first month of use. My employees love the ease of use and clear communication through the app.

Cons

So far I have not found any problems with the app. It's been a smooth transition for myself and my employees.

Pros

Very easy to use. Love that it reminds workers to clock in and clock out.

Cons

I have not found anything yet that I am unhappy about.

Pros

The original person we spoke to, [sensitive content hidden], was extremely responsive in setting up up initially and it took a 15 min call to get it all up. To get it synced with ADP took only another 15 mins. The chat times are the quickest I've seen and the responses have been very helpful.

Cons

I wish this was part of ADP and not a third party software. More of a dig at ADP to not have a function to clock in and clock out for such a large company.

Pros

I am an proprietor of a small business and a small team to handle. I can easy track and make record of early morning sign in and signout of employees. If my teammate goes out with a delivery i can track his location in real time. HR management can also be done using this app. In addition to this it records all the past payslips thus easy to manage increments etc

Cons

Developers should come up with the updates frequently.

Pros

I like how it tracks many things and not just one specific item

Cons

There’s not many cons I’ve never had any issue

Pros

This software has changed my business! It has simplified and streamlined time tracking and collection, payroll, workers comp reporting, and job cost monitoring. The features make my work so much more efficient and employees time so much more accurate that it saves my company money!

Cons

The only problem I have is that sub contractors do not have a category. The only option for their label is “employee”. For subs I pay at an hourly rate this can get a little touchy for my workers comp auditors since I am required to pay workers comp on all employees. There needs to be a separate subcontractor title for individuals using the app.

Pros

ClockShark is extremely user friendly! As a HR Manager/Payroll Specialist it makes my daily & weekly job a piece of cake!

Cons

I did not have any cons using ClockShark for the 2 years that I did use it.

Pros

ClockShark has made every time management efficient, and there scheduling of all activities.

Cons

ClockShark has made effective ways of controlling time, and there are no challenges.

Pros

ClockShark creates assertive clock control, and there are reliable reminders to follow.

Cons

ClockShark is impressive in service delivery.

Pros

ClockShark has a valuable option for cost estimation, and this increases productivity.

Cons

The inclusion of AI in managing expenses has made the application flawless.

Pros

The ease of setting schedule my employees was amazin

Cons

The difficulty in editing time. Or how it would clock people out without being told to

Pros

This product should appeal to anyone with little or no computer knowledge.

Cons

It is simple to use & integrated easily with our exisisting programmes.

Pros

Fast and efficient gets payroll done quick

Cons

Not the best customer service and defiantly has server issues a lot

Pros

Ease of use and can be used with no signal on the mobile.

Cons

The cost per user is too much for such a simple program.

Pros

Processing payroll is so much easier with ClockShark. Having the job cost data uploaded to our accounting software has cut down on processing time and data entry errors. The reports are essential to our project management reviews and allows us to evaluate what areas are doing well and what tasks need improvement. Additionally, if you ever have a question or need help finding something, their customer support team is knowledgeable and quick to respond.

Cons

There really isn't anything that I like the least

Pros

The ability to track and schedule paid time off is a plus for this system. Most others in this arena have not implemented or developed this within their systems. Also the ability to track employees during their work shifts.

Cons

Although the GPS tracking allows for tracking employees during work shifts, the system has many glitches and inconsistencies such as showing someone leave the country and return within an hour. Or reflecting their position as in the middle of the woods or a nearby lake. In the area of "Time Off Requests", the filtering system used on the dashboard and timesheet screens should be implemented to avoid having to go through pages of prior authorized requests that include former employees that have been deactivated.

Pros

Ease of access & time tracking. I like how user friendly it is

Cons

Not much to not like- I love the app and ease of use

Pros

The most useful thing I find is to be able to measure the time employees spend each day. This way you do not generate non-compliance in their payments and avoid a bad working environment. It also makes it possible to manage simple activities performed by employees.

Cons

It is a software to be able to control the times to people with high positions or in small companies, since it cannot be applied in a large group of people because of the costs. It would be good to have a subscription plan for a group of 10 or 20 people.

Pros

I liked I was able to track the time of my temporary employees and how user friendly it was.

Cons

Nothing that I know but I did't use the app for tpp long.

Pros

It is like a Gantt Chart that I can constantly update. It makes sure that everyone is on the same page and working to the same time scale.

Cons

More color codes are needed on the tables as we have used them all up.

Pros

All the features and assistance with reaching your goals and time management

Cons

No issue with this at all , I can’t think of anything I would change.

Pros

Helps keep drivers within the weeks allotted time so we have no violations.

Cons

Really have no cons because we only use it for a time clock for our drivers to stay in compliance with state DOT guidlines.

Pros

Easy to sign in and out for shift start and end time.

Cons

No notifications for when to clock out and in.

Pros

time clock and scheduler all in one program

Cons

I feel its a bit expensive per year.The break time calculator is tough for my business. I'd like to see it individualized, per employee. So I can have the option of how to give the 30 min paid break

Reasons for Switching to ClockShark

Pros

A fantastic time-tracking tool is Clockshark. Due to numerous problems, we changed from a different piece of software. Jobs, tasks, and workers are all simply added to Clockshark. To make sure that workers are reporting to work at the proper time and location.

Cons

The only issue I've had with Clockshark is that occasionally after adding jobs on the desktop, they won't show up in my employees' apps, and it takes a little while to refresh. Other than that, nothing else seems to be missing.

Pros

We chose ClockShark because of the ease of employees being able to access time clock from their own device, and also because the app monitors whether punches were missed and where punches occurred. This has made following up on discrepancies a timely and accurate process. Also, payroll no longer gets delayed due to failure to email time sheets to administrative staff.

Cons

Employees initially report that sometimes app did not acknowledge punches, but we suspect this has more to do with those employees not allowing access to location and data on their devices.

Pros

Easy to use. Great for payroll.Field guys love it.

Cons

No con's. Very glad when they added time off. Extremely helpful.

Pros

Time tracking and Goe fencing. Nice features

Cons

Converting hours to invoice. Also converting quotes to invoice via mobile devices
