Time Doctor Reviews

this software is easy to use and very accessible to everyone

There isn;t much I can say about the downsides of this software. I think it's a highly recommendable software

I like that it is easy to use. Also, the tool detects time with no activity and allows to you track that too.

Sometimes the productivity is not measured accurately and that brings confusion when analyzing the data.

It has a nice web backend The client made in 2017 has good UX (if only we could use it) It used to have a responsive product team (not anymore)

- The old client UI (which is the only one that we can use) is not intuitive and buggy. Our team very often complains about this and they don't want to use it.
- A key feature which is blurring the screenshots has been taken away from the new Windows and Mac client but the option to enforce it is still in their web backend. This gives the false expectation that the setting will be respected while it doesn't and this compromise the privacy and *security* of the people using this software as the screenshots can also collect passwords, private keys etc. Neal from support on October 3rd 2017 wrote: "Sorry for the delay but our developer has not finished setting up this feature yet on the new app. I will try to get more feedback on this and see if I could get at least an estimate of when it will be implemented." After more than seven months on 20th of April 2018 he says: "We don't have an ETA yet. All I know is that our development team are currently working on incorporating this feature as we have been pushing them to since this is something available on the old app."

As you can see the answer was not truthful (using the word "finishing" for something that wasn't started). There was also no apology from their side and they didn't write an article warning about this bug which can compromise the security of their users and breach their T&Cs. It's a shame since this company used to care about their customers. I will change the review if they finally act on this.General Comment
It helped our company at different stage of it's growth but unfortunately while growing it seems that it lost its user focus

First of all Time Doctor is very easy to use. It offers me control employees' time. The quality of the product is high. I can receive affordable reports about working hours.

Time Doctor is affordable software, but i think the price can be lower.

It's easy to use and just runs on the background

Cons would be that it turns of on it's own most of the time, therefor the time that I have aren't recorded. I have to keep fixing my time sheets.

Time Doctor is good when i work remotely. It can count my working hours, take screens and notify me continue working if i'm out.

Sometimes it gets annoying, an want to get rid off. But it really makes it's job well.

The ease of assigning current worktime to given projects or specific project tasks. That helps me keep an overview how much time I've spent on each project and task

Reporting sometimes needs a few extra clicks to give me the information I need - especially when I step from day to day it always needs a few extra clicks to get the same screen for the next day (Timesheet). But overall it's great - nothing serious.

Overall my favorite features are screen recording and idle time tracking, I am able to help my employee to correct behaviors and use their company time effectively.

Based on the features I use I really have no complaints

When Time Doctor works, it's great. Each employee can be set to different schedules/requirements. It is a great system in the background that allows us to hold our employees accountable if necessary.

Time Doctor is constantly being updated and if you don't know to update the application, or it doesn't happen automatically, the app will not work as intended. The usual give away is that the app will often stop tracking automatically when starting computer use. Additionally, the admin view is limited. It would be helpful to view the same report/information for multiple employees at the same time. A lot of things have to be done individually.

Time tracking can make sure that we stay productive throughout the day

No reminders once you've gone through the allowed break time.

When it helps me track time whenever I am working and my productivity too.

It would be best if it has an option or a tab where I can input my notes, tasks, or reminders.

The functionality is great and easy to use for time tracking

I wish there were more available options for a tablet and phone

That it notifies you when time tracking starts so if you use your computer recreationally, you can remember to turn time tracking off. I like that you can hide the tracking icon or display it, depending on if it's distracting to you or you want to remember to change it

new tasks take a while to show up in the app once they are made on the web version. I wish it notified you when you have spent more than two hours on something, because sometimes when you hide the tracking bar it's easy to forget to switch to another task.

Time Doctor has a very user-friendly interface, easy to use, and monitor. What I like most about this app is the screenshots are taken every minute of your set time and the reports it generates that I use on our payroll. The customer service is also admirable to the team since they answer within a couple of hours and assist our employees on the concerns and matters.

That thing that it can not generate night differential hours taken by the employees.

Due to COVID, we were forced to work from home and monitoring our work activity is conveniently done with this app. Although it kind of looks old school in its interface, I don't mind because it is lightweight, it is efficient in tracking browser and screen activity when it's active with you not even noticing your screen already captured, doesn't create lag time and transparent with its screen captures as you can easily log in to your account with the email associated to the time doctor account and see the screenshots captured whether you are a basic or an admin user. The last part is very important as privacy should be a priority specially nowadays when hacking has become rampant.

The reason why I rated it only eight for recommending it to others is because you'd have to make changes to the settings as the default is launching on startup. And I don't want it snooping around and doing screenshots if it's off work hours, and people tend to forget about this and some might not even be aware about this part of the settings. I also still see it on the system tray even after logging out so I'd have to manually close it every time, which can be a bit annoying. Although it stops screen captures when you're pausing it which is great.

Time Doctor helps me a lot with my small business, I can throw this software track the time that spent on many projects. I usually use the desktop application and it is the best for me, but sometimes I use the phone app.

In the beginning, it wasn't easy to use and I need some time with my team to learn how we could use it in an effective way, but after that, I can't say anything bad about it.

This can be used as a monitoring tool for a company management team to monitor the work of their employees and that will speed up the productivity of that company. Apart from monitoring, time doctor track time of the tasks and generate reports.

As I said I used it two times, I felt like monitoring will destroy the privacy of the employees.

What I like about time doctor is the customer service they provide, they answer and help you with every question you have until an issue has been solved.

I just don't like the screenshot part of this app, though I am working, it doesn't give me privacy.
