01Quick recommendation

ActivTrak or Rymot? It depends — honestly.

Choose ActivTrak if

  • Workforce analytics and benchmarking is your only requirement
  • You don't need attendance tracking or payroll-ready exports
  • Risk/DLP as an add-on module is acceptable for your needs

Choose Rymot if

  • You need workforce analytics and attendance in one platform
  • You need policy management and compliance reporting as native capabilities
  • You want DLP and audit logs built into the core platform, not a bolt-on module

04Moving over

Moving from ActivTrak to Rymot. Same day to 2 business days for most teams

No historical data import between platforms — most teams are fully operational within days.

  1. 01

    Import users

    Bring over your ActivTrak team roster and roles in one import.

  2. 02

    Install agents

    Push the Rymot desktop agent via your existing deployment tool or a self-serve install link.

  3. 03

    Configure policies

    Set schedules, screenshot intervals, and productivity rules — plus attendance and policy settings ActivTrak doesn't have.

  4. 04

    Start tracking

    Cut over on your own schedule — Rymot and ActivTrak can run side by side during the transition.

05Questions

Asked often.

Can I migrate historical data from ActivTrak?

There's no official export/import path between the two platforms. Most teams export historical ActivTrak reports for their own records and start fresh in Rymot.

Can employees see their own data?

Yes, by default and on every plan — not an optional setting.

Does Rymot support screenshots?

Yes — configurable capture intervals, with employees notified at the moment of capture.

Can Rymot replace ActivTrak?

ActivTrak focuses on workforce analytics. Rymot combines workforce analytics with attendance, productivity, policy management, and native compliance/DLP — so it covers ActivTrak's core use case plus the areas ActivTrak requires a separate add-on or doesn't cover.

How long does migration take?

Most teams are fully cut over within a day or two — install the agent, set schedules and policies, and start tracking.
