Searching for new software isn\u2019t an easy task, made only more difficult when you start sorting through hundreds of time and attendance software reviews online. We understand your pain, so we\u2019ve pooled our knowledge to provide you with some insider tips on unravelling these reviews to get the information you need to decide what software is right for your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Those lists of \u201cThe best Time and attendance software for 2019\u201d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These lists can be found on larger software marketplace sites, HR technology review sites and industry magazine websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They often have detailed descriptions of the product\u2019s features and advice about what type of business it\u2019s best suited to. Do you need a timesheet app for staff or is an onsite timeclock kiosk more suitable? These \u2018best of\u2019 lists are great for comparing products and features, so take a good look around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These types of reviews are great for getting a feel of what\u2019s available in the market and will help you narrow down your search to a handful of suppliers that may suit your business. However, they will not list <em>all<\/em> products available so don\u2019t rely on them exclusively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be mindful that some are written by independent technology and software experts, some are written by journalists while others are written by the product developers and suppliers themselves (in which case they may have paid for the review). The level of bias will greatly vary here so stay objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A star-based software review can&#8217;t tell you everything<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Star ratings give you an instant indication of quality and can be useful to help you weed out suppliers in your initial search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as pointed out in the section above, there is a certain level of bias involved. These ratings, unless conducted by genuine experts, are often highly subjective and should be considered together with written reviews and testimonials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">See for yourself \u2013 get a software demonstration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, they are time-consuming, but the best review you can get is your own! It\u2019s then easier to assess other reviews against your experience and knowledge of the product \u2013 whether good or bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\r\n<p><span id=\"hs-cta-wrapper-f20841b8-c93f-4011-88aa-f4c97e4271bf\" class=\"hs-cta-wrapper\"><span id=\"hs-cta-f20841b8-c93f-4011-88aa-f4c97e4271bf\" class=\"hs-cta-node hs-cta-f20841b8-c93f-4011-88aa-f4c97e4271bf\">&lt;!&#8211; [if lte IE 8]&gt;<div id=\"hs-cta-ie-element\"><\/div>&lt;![endif]&#8211;&gt;<a href=\"https:\/\/cta-redirect.hubspot.com\/cta\/redirect\/4450450\/f20841b8-c93f-4011-88aa-f4c97e4271bf\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"hs-cta-img-f20841b8-c93f-4011-88aa-f4c97e4271bf\" class=\"hs-cta-img\" style=\"border-width: 0px\" src=\"https:\/\/no-cache.hubspot.com\/cta\/default\/4450450\/f20841b8-c93f-4011-88aa-f4c97e4271bf.png\" alt=\"See Roubler in action\" \/><\/a><\/span> hbspt.cta.load(4450450, &#8216;f20841b8-c93f-4011-88aa-f4c97e4271bf&#8217;, {}); <\/span><\/p>\r\n<!-- end HubSpot Call-to-Action Code -->\n\n\n\n<p>The trick here is to ask as many questions as you can. Don\u2019t be a passive observer \u2013 it\u2019s important to find out exactly what it can, and can\u2019t, do. Prepare yourself with a list of your essential requirements so you don\u2019t miss anything (this guide includes a list to get you started).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to quiz them about the how the time and attendance software works from both a manager and employee\u2019s perspective e.g. What does the timeclock kiosk look like? What do employees see when they sign-in? How to managers view and approve time and attendance data?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mr Bright Side &#8211; Testimonial videos, case studies and quotes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are usually on the supplier\u2019s website, so of course they are going to tell you how great the Time and attendance software you are looking at is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where they have real value is in helping you see how the product may work for you by getting first-hand information from a similar business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, don\u2019t forget to look at their \u2018Our customers\u2019 page (it\u2019s usually got lots of logos on it) to see what other types of companies use the software. Bigger brands aren\u2019t always an indication of whether the product is suitable for you \u2013 particularly if you are a small business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you feel you need more information, why not look up the people who gave the testimonial on LinkedIn or Twitter and ask for more advice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/roubler.com\/sg\/hr-software-reviews\/\">See our reviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compare apples with apples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking at any type of review, make sure you are comparing like with like. Be clear on what you are looking for \u2013 whether that\u2019s stand-alone online timesheet software or an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roubler.com\/sg\/workforce-management-software\/\">integrated workforce management<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.roubler.com\/sg\/features\/payroll-software\/\">payroll system<\/a> that includes time and attendance functionality. You\u2019ll then have a better idea of the features and pricing structures you need to compare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>Our greatest advice is to seek a variety of different types of reviews to get a more holistic view of the system(s) you are considering.
