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

Overall, Great!
Currently rolling out to the entire team, but it has made the vacation request & tracking extremely efficient as well as the time clock feature giving direct responsibility back to the employees.
Pros
Ease of adding employees, constantly adding updates and great customer support.
Cons
You can tell this tool is oriented towards smaller groups. For example, doing mass updates is not possible with vacation allowances or locations access. I had to manually modify the location for 67 employees 1 by 1.
When mass updating it would be a god send to be able to input hire date and employee number instead of one by one later.
While the knowledge section is a great starter, there is much left that's needed, specifically for managers , supervisors, and the account owners. There are several aspects that are missing from the tool, for example the absent function. When searching for it in the knowledge base, no results returned. How is it intended to be used?What can it be used for?
Is there a way to set specific holidays? I'm not sure at this point still. I'd hate to have to add it for 130 agents, or even add 6 different accruement policies.

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.

Honeybee Review
I feel that this has eased a burden on my employer for helping track time. I know that it is frustrating and time consuming on the bosses when an employees forgets to clock in.
Pros
Accessibility, ease of using the phone app. We have a lot of agents in the field, and that travel for work after hours. This program helps track their work time and helps alleviate our Workers Compensation concerns when they are not in the office. I am sure that most companies do not think about from that perspective.
Cons
The bugs in the software, when it freezes, or throws an error, which I understand sometimes is operator error.

Great Software
Pros
I like that I am able to setup multiple departments within a company but for many that would be different physical locations. Instead of that function I would like to see site functionality button. So I can setup different locations.
Cons
There is not much I do not like about the software. The worse part would be the breadcrumbs (the link clicking) do not always take you back to where you were.

"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.

Not Impressive
Overall it seemed to me that this software is not as useful or as good as we had hoped it would be.
Pros
This software made it easy to track our hours either through mobile or using a tablet when walking into the office.
Cons
My major complaint is that it does not load and send data fast enough. For example, if you go to log out it takes a few seconds to confirm you actually logged out.

10/24/18 Environmental Laboratory Review
Customer service is outstanding. Honeybeebase worked with us to create a function for paid time off based on custom dates versus date of hire.
Pros
The ability to see real time employee Human Resource information, the ability to assign users to a specific supervisor, the ability to assign rights to users, user access to paid time off accruals and a web based time clock system. The software also provides a means to create quizzes and print certificates. The customer support team provides on-line training, answers questions promptly by email and helps populate users in the software.
Cons
Honeybeebase provide on-line training but as with any new software product it is a little difficult to find some of the functions.

Review
The glitches are frustrating, great idea though
Pros
The ability to clock in or out when visiting other sites or offices and not being tied to a time clock or computer with a certain program
Cons
The software does not always work. I can clock out and come back into program and it shows that I am not clocked out. So there has to be a time fix.

It's okay but time off feature is weird
Pros
Shows total hours clocked in a week, one-click clocking in, people using it for scheduling have a lot of functions, cute bees
Cons
PTO requests are clunky, dependent on internet so can take a while to load, something on the admin level is probably unclear bc we've had some confusion over how time off requests are processed

New User- Some navigation difficulties
I have only been using this software for about a week and only use it to clock in and out of work. Overall my experience has been positive.
Pros
I like how easy it is to clock in and out of work using this software. The punch card page itself is great and easy to use
Cons
While keeping in mind, that I have only been using Honeybeebase for a little over a week I find it difficult to navigate. I have had some difficulty locating a record of my time clock and navigating back to the punch card page.

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.

Why I don't care for HoneybeeBase
I miss our old system where I could tell when my coworkers where out of the office or easily tell how many hours I'd work or how many vacation days I had left and didn't mysteriously malfunction so it looks like I worked all night or never returned from my lunch break. Now I don't even like bees.
Pros
I am straining to find anything I enjoy about HoneybeeBase except for bees. I like bees.
Cons
This software is cumbersome and frequently logs me out or in.
