Desklog Reviews

We are a digital marketing agency with a team of 15 people, and Desklog has become one of the best investments we’ve made on AppSumo.

I initially purchased Desklog for basic time tracking, but very quickly realised it is a full workflow, task, and productivity management system. We now use Desklog for almost every operational activity inside our agency:

✅ Staff Workflow & Productivity Tracking

Desklog gives us complete clarity on what each team member is working on.
Productivity percentage, active vs idle time, app usage, and detailed analytics help us improve efficiency without micromanaging.

✅ Task Management & Targets

We handle 60+ monthly clients and a lot of recurring + sudden tasks.
Desklog makes it easy to assign tasks, monitor progress, track deadlines, and ensure nothing gets missed.

✅ Project Management for Our Agency

We use Desklog to manage:

Social Media workflows

SEO tasks

Website projects

Ads management

Creative and video tasks

One-time branding and website projects

The task structure, status tracking, and reporting have made our workflow extremely smooth.

✅ Staff Work Analytics That Actually Help

The analytics reports are extremely useful.
We now know:

# How much time each client/project requires

# Which employees are overloaded or underutilized

# Where productivity drops

# How long tasks actually take

# Which client / Project is utilising more time and manpower
This insight alone has improved our decision-making and planning.

✅ Excellent Support Team

Their support is genuinely impressive.
They provided a proper product demo, understood our workflow requirements, and whenever we raise any query, they usually respond within the same day or within 24 hours. This quick support makes a big difference, especially during onboarding.

✅ Very Good Value for Money (Especially on AppSumo!)

For the price, the feature set is incredible.
It replaces multiple tools we were using earlier.

Love the product, definitely makes you track your time and productivity. The desklog desktop version vs the online version I do not understand. That doesn't work well. I am sure over the next few weeks as it populates more with the data this will be more beneficial. I'll come back.

Not advertised but simple features such as Kanban boards are not included in these plans. The advertising makes you think all plans are equal and all of them are all inclusive. Very misleading.

Not a great product either. Very confusing and poorly designed. Refunding now

Desklog is great. We were using an alternative (Hubstaff), and switched. The software and the UI feel really nice. It really gets the job done. Some innovations I havent seen before in other similar softwares - the wellness module and others which I really liked.

We tested the software with a trial account, it all works well. Very easy decision, the software is great, and the deal is a steal. I mean, Desklog really did a terrific job. Reports are really detailed, and getting started / setting it up was really intuitive, with detailed setting options and clear instructions for the most part.

Small Suggestions for the team:
- No need for screenshots when the employee is idle. It's just stacking empty screenshots that makes it harder to check screenshots. Or add a button "Hide idle screenshots".
- Optional button "I was working" when idle popup appears. Sometimes I get on the phone, speak for 15 minutes, and I have idle time. Our previous software used to have this, and it's the only feature I miss actually.
- Options for breaks. We have mandatory breaks, but no straight forward option for scheduled breaks for employees.

I can't believe that ANYONE would give the tool less than 4 stars. I give it a 5 because they're up front about what they offer. The interface is beautiful, ESPECIALLY with it having dark mode. So easy on the eyes. The only downside, is that I wish we could get pay more, and get the screenshots and activity. You have to upgrade to a monthly plan for that. I purchased it for myself, to make sure that I am being more productive in my business. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
