Where Hubstaff falls short
Support is slow and often unhelpful, providing canned answers that don’t address specific issues. Many features are add-ons requiring additional payment, making it costly. The interface is less intuitive compared to competitors… Reporting limitations include an inability to create reports for colleagues who haven’t logged time. G2 review
Hubstaff is effective until it comes to meetings where you may not be moving your mouse. It would be nice if there was a way to separate meeting time out from the rest of the workday. Once I was on a meeting and Hubstaff deleted an hour of time due to inactivity, because it was a meeting that I was not speaking or presenting during. Then my workday looked like I worked an hour less. G2 review
I find Hubstaff’s software to be the worst. They just charge people money without providing proper service. In my case, when I reached out to support, I was told they keep the money to ‘improve’ their service — which honestly sounded laughable. It’s disappointing to pay for a service that doesn’t meet expectations. G2 review
…A lot of the features are not working, and I am still waiting on support to rectify them, including my inbox, which makes it extremely difficult for me to track my own tasks and organise my day. Notifications have been turned off several times in organisation and personal settings, but everyone is still being slammed with emails… Capterra review
The company is misleading, the invoicing is a nightmare, and they think it’s ok to rip people off with erroneous billing on an annual basis and poor support. BUYER BEWARE! Capterra review
I used to like Hubstaff until I had a problem with it not working. I tried to resolve it with customer service, but they are very poor at responding to your inquiries, and they don’t have voice support. Imagine having technology but no one to walk you through to fix the issue. Capterra review
Measurable Results. Real ROI.
