## Reviews

### "Fingerprints and Camera" — 4.0/5

> **Britnee** | *21 May 2019* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I can view my time card and the details of when I punched in and out very clearly. I can submit requests for time off and get a notification if it was approved. I’m not sure how the camera actually works (is a picture taken of you when you click on and out?\!) but the fingerprint scan works well.
> 
> **Cons**: The only con I have is that sometimes to system freezes and it takes so long to load.

### "NOVAtime, Time tracking for future generations" — 5.0/5

> **Dylan** | *16 August 2025* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Novatime makes it easy to track times for employees and gives them everything at their finger tips. They have been amazing and have allowed our employees to track their times, clock in and out from work, directly from their phone, and allows them to track everything they need to track.
> 
> **Cons**: The integration with our time clocks has been terrible. The UKG interface with NOVAtime has caused a lot of issues over the last few months.

### "Functional, but Could be Improved" — 4.0/5

> **Christian** | *25 April 2019* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like that it tracks my use of time so I know what type of time I have available and how much sick, personal or comp time I have left.
> 
> **Cons**: I dislike that when you’re entering time off requests if you switch pages and forget to save what you entered it disappears and you have to start all over.
> 
> Overall it’s a mostly positive experience. I dislike changing pages after entering time without saving and my requests that I entered being erased. I also dislike that when I’m entering a time off request the time box automatically assumes the time is AM so you have to manually change it to PM. That seems a bit unnecessarily clunky to me.

### "Time Clock Software that Conforms to YOUR Business" — 4.0/5

> **Linda** | *29 August 2019* | Plastics | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the way you can configure reports to suit your needs.  Output is available in whatever office media you need for it to be.  There are many standard reports that you can use as-is, or tweak for your own specific information.
> 
> **Cons**: It is not as data-entry friendly as I would like.  That is to say, the number of times a user has to go from keyboard to mouse to make changes is high, and therefore time consuming.
> 
> I am able to view employee punches and information in real time, rather than having to pull the time into the software manually.  The software is fast, reliable, and can be further configured to meet needs other than time-keeping.  The users are happy because they need go no further than their own computers to enter their time, and I don't have to hunt down their paperwork.  Novatime has made my work life infinitely easier\!

### "Clocking in and out with ease\!" — 5.0/5

> **Shayne** | *20 September 2019* | Internet | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 1) Faster: We use Novatime to clock in and out for our 8 hour shifts. However, our office is on the 7th Floor and it takes time to get up there because of really slow lifts. It's really efficient to clock in through Novatime through someone else's computer by typing in our Employee ID and Password instead of waiting for our systems to load up. I say this because we are using WorkDay and Novatime simultaneously. You need to sign into WorkDay from your designated system only :( And in my company, the later you log in, the later you log out.&#10;&#10;2) Easy To Use: Novatime is easy to use and configure according to the needs of an organization that chooses to use it's services.
> 
> **Cons**: 1) Leave Balance: Leave Balances are hard to understand for people who are new to the corporate world. This is where WorkDay is much better and easier to understand.
> 
> I've been using Novatime for the past 4 to 5 months now. It's loads pretty fast, however, after they added a few more tabs to it recently, it has slowed down a bit.
