Why Teams Who Care About Productivity Use Insightful

Both DeskTime and Insightful do a great job of monitoring productive and unproductive time. But if you want to dig even deeper, Insightful can help you do that with workforce productivity insights.
With productivity scores, benchmarking, trends and historical data, Insightful gives you a complete picture of productivity – so you know exactly what to do to improve it.
Combine that with idle and offline time tracking, customizable screenshots, and privacy settings, and you have all the granular insights you need to understand how your team works best, while safeguarding their data.
Enhancing Productivity & Maintaining Privacy

If privacy is a priority, then it’s important to understand how DeskTime and Insightful approach things differently.
DeskTime primarily relies on employees manually adjusting privacy settings, allowing users to turn tracking on or off as they please. On the other hand, Insightful's customizable privacy settings can be applied at an organizational level to automatically stop private data being captured.
It’s important to note too that when it comes to employee privacy, Insightful doesn’t use intrusive tools such as keystroke logging and video surveillance. Instead, the platform gathers contextual data to enable you to maximize your productivity without micromanaging.
Unlock More Value from Your Team’s Time

When it comes to overseeing the amount of time spent on activities, tasks and projects, DeskTime has got you covered. Insightful captures time in a similar way, but also goes a step further.
With productivity labeling and tracking, trends, patterns and historical data, Insightful reveals how productively time is being used. These productivity insights help you support employee training/resource needs, optimize workflows, benchmark performance and model winning behaviors.
Insightful also allows you to make employees a bigger part of the productivity process by giving them access to their data. This fuels professional growth and ownership, so you can build a culture of self-improvement.
More Effectively Manage Remote & Hybrid Teams

A one-size-fits-all approach to productivity won't work if your team is hybrid or remote.
Insightful also allows you to segment data by office-based and remote employees, allowing you to discover how, when, and where your people are most productive.
With Insightful’s remote productivity insights, you can identify the influence of location on your team, create an ideal hybrid or remote structure, and provide employees with the freedom they need to be most productive.
Data Control, Security & Ease of Use
Both DeskTime and Insightful are available via convenient and secure cloud installation options. But if data control and security are top of mind, then Insightful’s on-premise solution may be just what you’re looking for.
Insightful's on-premise option gives you complete control over your data on your own I.T. infrastructure. That’s why Insightful is a popular choice for large and enterprise teams, where DeskTime is a favorite of freelancers and agencies.
It’s worth noting that both Insightful’s cloud and on-premise solutions are backed by multi-certificate compliance and dual-encryption.
