ClockShark Reviews

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.

Albi, QuickBooks Time, busybusy and Clockify

Reasons for Switching to ClockShark

It had the best pricing for our needs. It allows for flexible pricing per user versus a set fee per month. I liked their webapp.

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 Choosing ClockShark

It was far too clunky and did not allow the customizable interface we need.

QuickBooks Time

Reasons for Switching to ClockShark

The price of clockshark and the customization offered made the decision easy.

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

ClockShark had the features we needed and very user friendly to employees that are not in favor of electronics.

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.

Procore and Arcoro

Reasons for Choosing ClockShark

To save money and because Clock Shark worked better with my accounting system. Clock Shark also has some other unique features that I really like. Such as uploading job info for my foreman and accessibility to those documents. Forman's ability to track time on his project.

QuickBooks Online

Reasons for Switching to ClockShark

Catchy name, and it’s own entity separate from bookkeeping, yet compatible - Employees feel like it’s their time protection

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.
