Pros & Cons

NOVAtime Pros & Cons
Pros
  • The ability to know the amount of time available, the number of sick people, and the remaining comp time as the software monitors my utilization of time.
Cons
  • It is time consuming as running any report on the go is impossible-you must generate every report
  • It is also time consuming and redundant since I have to key in all staff details into the payroll system and thereafter into Novatime due to the absence of a link-unless we carry out a file download at the end of a payroll period, this time card system doesn’t connect to our payroll system.
TimeClock Plus Pros & Cons
Pros
  • It is so easy to use, and there are lots of functions that work well
  • Some functions, however, do not work as perfectly.
Cons
  • There were some issues with setting up the clock right, especially the way we wanted to set it up to work with Single Sign-On
  • Their customer support was not able to help us initially either.

The experience was generally positive. However, I dislike that I have to manually change it to PM as the time box automatically assumes the time is AM so you have during entering a time off request. Also, after entering time without saving and my requests that I entered being erased, I dislike having to change pages.

The ability to know the amount of time available, the number of sick people, and the remaining comp time as the software monitors my utilization of time.

Switching pages and forgetting to save what you keyed in when entering time off requests makes it disappear prompting you to restart the process again.

During our busy session, it is more time saving to have a single system that can host time card punches, payroll and HRIS.

Extremely supportive tech support at all times-responsive and working with them is simple. It is also fairly cheap.

It is time consuming as running any report on the go is impossible-you must generate every report. It is also time consuming and redundant since I have to key in all staff details into the payroll system and thereafter into Novatime due to the absence of a link-unless we carry out a file download at the end of a payroll period, this time card system doesn’t connect to our payroll system.

It is so easy to use, and there are lots of functions that work well. Some functions, however, do not work as perfectly.

The client service is not exactly great. We have had relatively simple answers, and we have had a hard time getting hold of people to help us. Any change in the directly assigned account representatives from the company can result in a loss of contact with the right support staff, which is what happened with us.

We had issues with the installation and basic set up with some integration. Once installed though, the software was not too bad to work with from there.

It provides the basic functionality for which it is purchased. It is low in price.
