Tivazo has a screenshot monitoring feature for tracking work activities. You as an employer can get screenshots of your team’s activities in regular intervals. You can decide how frequently you want to receive the screenshots.
Your employees can also look back at the screenshots taken. This aims to increase the accountability and productivity of the employees. It also provides transparency on both sides: the employers supervising a team, and the employees being monitored.
Well, you don’t have to have an employer for this screenshot feature to work. If you are a freelancer, don’t worry, Tivazo has got your back. Individual workers can also look back at the work done; this is also how you can track the time you spend on different tasks. You can decide your own time for how frequently you want to take screenshots of your work.
Another interesting thing about the screenshot monitoring feature is that, if you work on multiple screens, the system will take screenshots of each screen in succession. So, you don’t have to worry about activity on other screens not being monitored.
You may be currently using other systems for employee clock-in and clock-out. Tivazo includes the clock-in clock-out feature, so, you don’t have to use various expensive systems for different activities.
In addition to employee monitoring, you can keep records of the clock-in and clock-out times of employees allowing you to accurately track attendance and working hours. So, you can see if your employees are early, on time, or late.
But if someone was not able to clock in because they were doing other tasks like field work, you as the team leader can add manual time for your employee. Or, your employees can add the manual time for themselves as well.
Tivazo keeps records of past attendances as well. So, you can look back at them at any time.
Tivazo automatically pauses time-tracking when you have been idle for some time. It gives an alert mentioning you have been idle for a while, and if you have been working, you can immediately resume your time tracker.
If you are an independent worker, you can decide how long you can be idle, until Tivazo pauses the time tracking. The default timing for this is 5 minutes.
However, if you are an employer, you have the option to set maximum idle time for your employees before the system automatically stops tracking. You’ll also be notified if your team has been idle for a specified duration as well, you can also decide this duration according to your preferences.

You can generate productivity, project progress, and timesheet reports of different dates and time periods. The reports in Tivazo are customizable by the time frame selected and the people of the reports generated. You can either get the report on the whole team or any individual member. The reports provide an in-depth analysis of time spent on work.
Tivazo is available to use on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
The offline features and sync are available no matter which operating system you are using in your computer. It is easy to set up the employee monitoring software on Mac and Windows, but if you find any complications setting it up on your Linux, you can visit the FAQ section of Tivazo’s website, where there is detailed instructions on how to use it on Linux.
Tivazo is used by anyone no matter the profession. The time tracking software is for Lawyers, Engineers, Virtual Assistants, and other professionals. It is scalable based on business size as well. It can be used for time tracking and productivity monitoring by Freelancers, Small Businesses, Agencies, and Enterprises.
Now that we have looked at the key features of Tivazo, let’s take a look at what Toggl Track has to offer.
Toggl is available for Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. It also has a browser extension. Regardless of which device you are on, it’s easy to track time with Toggl. Because it is supported on many devices, you have to sign in on each device. Only then, does it allow for synchronization.
While Toggl Track is mostly a project-based tracking system, it also allows users to track time, based on clients, projects, and tasks. Toggle Track has integrations for Google Calendar allowing you to keep records of projects based on date and time.
Toggl can track multiple projects at the same time as well, since, there can be many people working on many projects simultaneously. This can be a bit overwhelming as the users have to remember to manually start and stop time-tracking for each project they are working on, as Toggl does not have automatic tracking.
Toggl Track is a project management and time-tracking system at its core. It does not provide typical features for Employee Monitoring like screen recording.
So, it is suitable if you are looking for project management rather than a workforce supervision system.
You can get alerts for your project, and task progress, project time estimate, if you haven’t tracked time for the day, and more. And, the alerts can be sent to Admins, Project Managers, Team Members, or Groups.
Basically, there are various notifications for different topics for Toggl sent to different users. However, it can be distracting and a little overwhelming when there are so many notifications while you are working.
Fear not, you can tweak the settings of Toggl Track to turn off certain notifications if you don’t want them.
Both Tivazo and Toggl have manual time-tracking features. Users can manually start tracking time and manually stop it as well.
In Tivazo, if the user is out on fieldwork or can’t track their time on their devices, the system allows them to input their work time manually. Or, their employers or team leaders can add the time for them as well.
In Toggl Track, users can automate time-tracking based on their use of certain apps. If they open these apps, the time-tracking will start automatically and stop automatically, once the users close the apps.
Similarly, both systems have idle detection and handling features, though their approaches are slightly different. For users of Tivazo, the admins or employers define the idle time threshold for their employees. If an employee’s device is idle for that amount of time, the time-tracking will automatically stop. When it stops, a notification is shown so that active users can resume tracking immediately.
Moreover, admins will be notified of their employees being idle, again, by the user-defined amount of time. The idle detection for Toggl is not admin-defined per se. Each user can configure their own idle detection settings that fit their personal workflow and preferences. In other words, Toggl allows them to customize how many minutes of inactivity will trigger the idle detection.
And, users will receive reminders if they have been inactive for a while.
