Almost all studio was Windows, and you had to use specific browser, with specific Java installed (for some reason our integration/use of it required java in the browser - that was at least year ago).
When you open the web-app, sometimes it might not work, when it does it starts with the "bereavement" page (wtf). Then if you want to request vacation that crosses weekends, you have to do it for individual ranges of normal work days. e.g. Also had to be careful not to select work holidays (MLK, 4th July, etc.)
That was my use of it... for very short amount of time I was manager to an intern, and had to watch and clock their hours. I had to be trained for 2hr, and still did not get it (I'm a software engineer... duh).
But then people claimed it had better new UI, which we did not use (reason unknown), and was pretty powerful.
- auxym 11y agoHa, I work for BigCo, and we use Kronos for timesheets. We recently transitioned to win7 (from XP), and to get Kronos working again we have to run some virtualization app (citrix maybe? can't remember right now, definitely a vmware product though) to run IE8 and some obsolete java version. All for timesheets. Other than that it's pretty useable. At least compared to SAP, which is my only other timesheeting-experience.
