Looking for an ActivTrak Alternative?
First, we want to acknowledge the team over at ActivTrak.
ActivTrak has built a solid employee monitoring and productivity platform that helps see how your team works and the tools they use.
On the other hand
But customers considering their options should note that ActivTrak is a cloud-only platform with no self-hosted deployment option, and its screenshot capture ships as a paid add-on rather than a built-in feature.
Compare that to Insightful, which also includes the AI Adoption Report as part of our base Workforce Analytics plan. ActivTrak’s AI Insights feature is available only as an add-on to their two highest-level tiers.
That’s just the beginning. Want to learn more about what Insightful offers teams looking to switch from ActivTrak?
Why Productivity-Focused Teams Choose Insightful
Activity-Based Time & Attendance for Precision Time Management
Teams needing general time tracking, like total hours worked and time spent on certain websites, may find that ActivTrak suits their needs. But teams often turn to Insightful when they want to:
- Get precision time and attendance data across company and approved personal devices
- Eliminate manual timesheets
- Track time by project, team, and task
- Simplify payroll by integrating with your existing HRIS system
Boost Productivity With Deeper Insights & Analysis
Insightful's productivity insights go beyond hours worked. Productivity labeling, tracking, web and app usage, and trend reporting give you a complete picture of how work actually happens. That data:
- Supports employee training decisions
- Helps optimize workflows and remove bottlenecks
- Lets you judge productivity by role and responsibility
- Share productivity data with employees to build a culture of self-improvement
Automated Time Mapping for Unmatched Project Efficiency
Automated Time Mapping detects work like calls, tickets, and cases as it happens, then automatically allocates time to the right task, no manual input required. Automated Time Mapping:
- Automatically creates and updates tasks as employees handle calls or tickets
- Pauses and restarts automatically when employees switch between tasks
- Applies custom rules to match time tracking to your team's workflows
- Shows assignees, task counts, and total time spent for every project in one view
More Effectively Manage Remote & Hybrid Teams
A one-size-fits-all approach to analytics doesn’t work for hybrid or remote teams. Insightful’s Location Insights feature lets you:
- Segment data by remote, hybrid, or office-based employees
- See how, when, and where employees do their best work
- See what impact location has on your team, allowing you to design an optimal hybrid or remote structure
Enjoy Data Security & Control With On-Premise Installation
Teams needing to meet strict compliance requirements, or wanting even more control over their data, turn to Insightful’s on-premise deployment for:
- Secure data hosting on your own IT infrastructure
- Multi-certificate compliance and dual encryption
- Solutions built to scale, whether your company has 250 employees or 10,000+
