Time Doctor

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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

Avantages

The integration with ASANA and the generated reports. Also the choice between screencasts and video shots.

Inconvénients

When the integration between ASANA and TD2 breaks down. Then we're screwed and have to scramble to do things manually

Avantages

Es un software de los mas util para que las empresas, sobre todo las medianas o grandes empresas, que tienen dificultades para el control de las jornadas laborales, puedan gestionar el tiempo de sus empleados para aumentar la productividad.O en el caso de ser trabajador por cuenta propia saber cuanto tiempo estas malgastando a lo largo de la jornada.El programa permite la creacion de informes o analisis al final del dia que te llevara a tener un vision mas clara de la gestion de tu tiempo a lo largo del. diaEl monitoreo es automatico aunque tienes que inicarlo tu mismo. A su vez se detendra en el momento que no detecte movimiento en el raton o pulsaciones en el teclado.

Inconvénients

La desventaja es la misma que en muchos programas que conozco, que es el precio.Apenas son 5 euros al mes, pero hay que tener en cuenta que no tiene demasiada funcionalidad para pagar 5 euros la mes.Y en el caso de alguien que quiera gestionar el tiempo de sus empleados esto subiria a 10 euros por empleado.Deberian aumentar su versatilidad y asi quizas valdria lo que cuesta.

Avantages

I found the software easy to install and use. The reporting feature is not as flexible as it needs to be, but the product is a big help in helping me track my time usage.

Inconvénients

I bet that many users are capable of managing a report customization system, but no such option is available. I end up editing the reports extensively, and that rather defeats the purpose of using the product. I am the only person in my office who uses this product, so I am not managing anyone. There are features that are incredibly annoying because they do not apply to me, yet I still need to deal with them. For example, the latest update requires entering a reason for adding time manually. I know the reasons, and find the extra mouse and keyboard clicks incredibly annoying.

Avantages

Time Doctor has been a great help for our company whose setup is remote work.

Inconvénients

There could be glitches at times but Time Doctor Support has been responsive to these escalations

Avantages

Integrations with: Jira, bitbucket, sentry, google, etc
Time tracking
API services
Reports
Easy to use

Inconvénients

Crashes sometimes
Doesn't support many Linux SO, like archlinux

Avantages

Web & App Usage
ScreenCast
Timeline

These features are our main dashboard for looking into the productivity | Activity of our employees. It helps us identify low productivity time if the employee is slacking off.

Inconvénients

We observed no auto-detection report in terms of any abnormalities in the keyboard and mouse activity. There are employees who took advantage of this wherein they just put a stopper or any heavy object in the arrow down key, this will be detected as keyboard movement.

Avantages

Time Doctor allows me to make sure my employees are working and billing their time without me being a nag. It has time clocks, screen captures, and reports, so I can see what they are doing any time I want, without them being aware of when I am watching so that I don't interrupt them or make them anxious. It also helps catch billable time and improve time wasting habits.

Inconvénients

They advertise that they work with payroll. But the software is not compliant legally with U.S. employment law (I am an employment lawyer so I am strongly aware of this). It is focused more on independent contractors, but most companies should be using this for employees instead of contractors. For employees, you will still need to have a separate time clock and use a good payroll company. So the clocking can be redundant and may annoy your employees.

Avantages

Good interface.Easy to use features.Good project management.

Inconvénients

Some panels can be confusing.Not a lot of control for manually added time.

Avantages

It's so user friendly and convenient in tracking time and reporting to one's manager. All its features are essential for my work. I can just log in to it and track my time for my client. This also makes me trustworthy to my client that I do my work at the designated time given to me.

Inconvénients

I don't see any feature in Time Doctor that I don't see essential.

Avantages

I think TimeDoctor has become one of those critical tools that we wouldn't be able to run our business without it. Screenshots activity is one of the most used features within our organization and it allows us to actually oversee and prevent any potential issues that may arise.

Inconvénients

Not at all. I think the app overall is fantastic and should be your daily companion.

Avantages

It is very easy to use and integrates with the business process easily. The most impactful was the monitoring of idle employees.

Inconvénients

I love everything about time doctor! It is very helpful!it has solved unnecessary working hours, site surfing of employees and idle time.

Avantages

TimeDoctor is straightforward and easy to use.

I like that the desktop tool offers two versions: Pro and Lite, which helps you to choose the right application based on your usage and computer's resources.

TimeDoctor also has a lot of integrations - particularly to different Project Management tools. This is especially helpful with managing different clients who each have a different preference on the project management tool that they are using.

TimeDoctor is also very cost-efficient for me as a freelancer/consultant.

Inconvénients

The price of additional users is a bit expensive for entrepreneurs who are just starting their own team, but overall, it is a worthwhile expense.

Avantages

Create your own projects and tasks. Works great for keeping a step by step task list for each project. Ability to edit time for when software updates and/or restarts are required. I love using Time Doctor Pro as my personal time keeper at work.

Inconvénients

Not so much of a con but more of a feature request: it would be great if the software kept some sort of log of active document time. I tend to work on a few documents at a time and it would be great to know how much time is spent on each document without having to manually switch projects/tasks for each document. I almost exclusively use Adobe Creative Cloud programs and Microsoft programs using Mac computers.

Avantages

really great! Super easy to use and great profile settings.

Inconvénients

nothing i would change! I think it's a great product

Avantages

It helps me validate my hours logged to the company I am working for. The software is very customizable depending on the need of the management; it gives a nudge when you are already dozing off while it's running and the option to go back to working or to take a break is very straightforward.

Inconvénients

There's this notification that I should log off TD to do a software update I guess which annoys me especially when I am engrossed working and my time needs to be tracked. But there is an option to run the update while the the tracker is running so it's doable and manageable for me.

Avantages

I like the feature that it keeps track of actual time - time in and time out, breaks, as well as offline hours.

Inconvénients

Remote workers should be careful and cautious in using Time Doctor since it will get screenshots as well as record browsing history. So while working, the remote worker should make sure that he/she is not doing nonwork-related activities.

Avantages

Dentro de la empresa lo tenemos en instalados en algunos miembros del equipo donde necesitamos un mayor control de los tiempos y las tareas que se realizan, de hecho es perfecto para el control de esas tareas en equipos del personal que teletrabaja.

Inconvénients

No hay nada que nos disguste, cumple perfectamente con nuestras necesidades

Avantages

Automatic startup with windows
Ability to segregate tasks and projects
Ability to pause the task when taking a break

Inconvénients

The screenshots are taken randomly which is a breach of privacy if you were on a window that has a personal email open. Whoever is the administrator that sees your screenshots taken by the system will also be able to see your personal information. One has to be rather careful when using TimeDoctor that no personal window or task is open so as to not share that info in a random screenshot.

Avantages

I found the Time Doctor app to be a great asset due to its easy-to-use time tracking capabilities and comprehensive features. With it, I can accurately monitor my work hours and those of my team, set up tasks and projects, and check our progress in real time. It also has a reminder system to help ensure that tasks are completed on schedule, as well as detailed reports to help analyze our performance and find areas for improvement.

Inconvénients

There is nothing to dislike in time doctor as of now

Avantages

it is good time tracking and task managing tool.it is versatile and can integrate with other tools .

Inconvénients

it is little bit expensive and it may feel insecure because it takes ss and videos of users works.

Avantages

La faciliadad de implementación y uso, algo que lo hace práctico. Sus reportes nos han ayudado a gestionar mejor los tiempos de nuestras tareas y con ello mejorar el rendimiento tanto para los empleados como para los clientes.

Inconvénients

Tal vez el precio es un poco elevado para una persona que recién empieza como freelancer.

Avantages

Easy to use and set up. It's user interface is very intutive. Helps in tracking time and monitoring employees and their productivity.

Inconvénients

I have not found in cons for this tool. It's gem.

Avantages

1. It provides the abilities to track time in a really simple way.
2. It provides native applications for all major desktop OS (MacOS, Windows and Linux).
3. It provides the screenshots feature sometimes can really help to understand what's going on.
4. There's a really helpful team behind the product.

Inconvénients

1. They removed GitHub integration.
2. Long and not-seamless sync of tasks with a remote system (I expect such things to work much faster and in background mode)
3. Our Linux developers sometimes experience issues with the app.

Avantages

The overall user interface is good. Easy to navigate with all the options. Flexibility to manage the screenshot timings. Reports are pretty straightforward, and the dashboard gives a good overview of productivity.

Inconvénients

Comparing to other tools we have recently explore, it has limited options. The cost is at the higher end. The installation and uninstallation process is too messy. I consider this more like a screen capturing or employee monitoring tool rather than a complete productivity tool.

Avantages

It actually does what we need it to do. It is good enough

Inconvénients

Several bugs everywhere. I waste time going around these malfunctions

Avantages

We liked this time management and tracker App; it has helped us to monitor our employee's activities and track their times; it's great to see how Time doctor measures productivity and compares to members each other, it is interesting how you can check the idle time (the time we pay our employees)

Inconvénients

Some of our employees have a complaint about this app because it gets frozen very often; even though they click the play and track time button, sometimes the app doesn't track the time, and employees are not getting paid for not tracking time, but they claim is because TD freeze and the App suddenly closes

Avantages

I like the feature of time doctor to be able to sync on certain apps that you can precisely take note of the time spent on that project. It also has a feature that reminds you if you are still working, that you might have forgotten to start your time or if you need to stop your timer if you are doing something that is not under your scope of work.

Inconvénients

There is really not much to dislike about time doctor unless you hate having your work tracked.

Avantages

Certainly I liked the amount of options, speaking of indicators that help us manage staff and increase productivity significantly. Not only see captures, but also see the activity of their peripherals and the apps and programs they use

Inconvénients

More than a "Cons" i would like that indicators such as low activity may be visible to individuals and not only to those who have TD group management. In turn, that this indicator can be traceable not only in the last 7 days of work but in editable periods of time, example: the last 3 days of work

Avantages

Ease of use, timely reminders, concise reports

Inconvénients

Can't think of anything; my overall experience has been very positive and wish more software was as easy to use and as reliable.

Avantages

It is a very powerful tool which helps in order to track and monitor the tasks of the workers. It captures the different tasks performed all the day and the kind of tabs opened by the workers. This is also used by the remote workers who are providing virtual assistance on the hourly basis and get paid as per the report generated at the end of the day. One can also track the idle time of a person and shows the amount of time spent on a specific tasks.

Inconvénients

Everything is great and sometimes it troubles using the application on the smartphone. Rest I dont see any kind of trouble with the user interface of TD

Avantages

I like flexibility it offers with managing multiple clients. I like how easy it is to set up and use.

Inconvénients

The new time doctor and classic time doctor confuses me. I have nearly lost my account before logging into the wrong one and trying to set up a new account as I didn't realise i was on the wrong version. Very confusing.

Avantages

This product is easy to use and it's developing to our needs.

Inconvénients

There could still be some improvements but TD2 are consistently looking for more improvements and getting the feedback of their customers is great.

Avantages

I love how easy it is to clock in and out, and see how long I'm spending on each task!! It's also been great for invoicing and tracking the time spent working for this company.

Inconvénients

Sometimes there are glitches where the time that I have clocked in is slightly off here and there, and sometimes it does get annoying that it will clock me out if I haven't clicked around for 3 minutes.

Avantages

I have loved using timedoctor and referred many people to it. It has been amazing in helping me keep a track of time spent on different projects with numerous clients. It was also easy to go back and amend time if I had forgotten to change the activity when starting a call etc. Easy to use on the iPhone app while on the road.

Inconvénients

Help desk and all interactions used to be via chat. That seems to have stopped - sadly!
Recent changes have introduced a number of bugs that have made this month intolerable. I am really frustrated that a tool I had come to rely on so heavily and which has been a crucial part of my business management and billing process is failing.

Avantages

I love that it has the ability to notify quickly if I am going to a website that is not work-related. It keeps freelancers on track and focus with our tasks for us to be productive within the day. It makes sure that we work in a timely manner and it will stop the time if I become idle for more than 15 minutes. I also liked he feature where it can detect websites I visited most frequently, I believe that feature can be beneficial to both the client and the freelancers.

Inconvénients

I'm not exactly sure if it is a glitch but there are times when I am just on a videocall with my client and I'm not typing anything on the screen, it will still ask if I'm still working. I'm not sure if it can also detect that I'm using voice feature at those times. It will be better if it can though.

Avantages

I love the ease of use in getting this software working, and it does that straight out of the box. Very little setup is required and after 2 and a half years using it, neither myself or employees have ever had any issues with it. It makes Payroll a breeze, and I love how in depth the reporting is which makes working with clients so much easier being able to show them time reports and logs. I highly recommend this to anyone I know in the online industry and will continue to do so for a long time!

Inconvénients

It would be great for the manual time if we could limit the amount that is allowed to be added.

Avantages

It's easy enough to just hit play to start.
I like the app

Inconvénients

Only having to use web browser and not app to see things better / edit time, check total time on project, etc. Wish the app had all the same menu options to view, change, edit

Avantages

I like the fact that we are able to measure our team's productivity especially that we're currently working remotely due to the pandemic. I have to admit that handling 30-40 staff members is a bit challenging in terms of measuring productivity but with Time Doctor, I don't have to worry about keeping an eye on my team from time to time. Very easy, just pull up the report and there you can see who has worked efficiently and not. I like it!

Inconvénients

I know we have already raised this to Time Doctor but it would be great if there's a way for us to set ratings per project. I'm handling 10-12 projects at the moment and it's very challenging for me to still check regularly their web and app usage just to ensure that I am sending accurate reports to each clients. That's all

Avantages

We had been using this software for close to 2 years and we love how simplistic the UI and UX is. It's not hard to find anything at all and it's a breeze to use. The best part is the screenshots functionality. Working remotely at the time of Covid, it was such a blessing to use Time Doctor to monitor and track our team. The clients were also at ease knowing that their projects were being worked on without any delays or hiccups!

Inconvénients

There was nothing much to dislike about this software. I just wished it was more affordable for a small team.

Avantages

The flexible time/ attendance tracking is very easy to use

Inconvénients

This software did not come with task management. need to integrate with Asana

Avantages

Time Doctor allows for a in depth view for each employee & time per project spent. It is a helpful feature to ensure our teams are working to reach their highest utilization per department.

Inconvénients

The navigation within the program is somewhat confusing & not as clearly laid out as I would like. As well as we have had consistent issues with getting Time Doctor to work on mobile platforms.

Avantages

Easy to use and setup, along with great accuracy of tracking. Better than any option I have seen in the market.

Multiple platforms supported gives me the ability to track from anywhere, anytime.

Provides great insights into work patterns.

Inconvénients

No real factors that are lacking, and the development is continuous, so new features are presented regularly.

Avantages

Time Doctor is a great tool for monitoring time and attendance for employees. It enables visibility of the person and what the person is working on.

Inconvénients

Lack of privacy for the end user. If the person is not using the tool, it can be seen as if the person is not working, which is not always the case. For example, if the person has personal needs like going to the toilet, it can lead to micromanaging and a lack of dignity. The person can add manual time; however, it's an old system where the person is micromanaged.

Avantages

The best part of Time Doctor that differentiates it from the rest of similar apps is that it takes random screenshots throughout the duration of a user that is logged in. This allows us to view their activities and making sure that our workers are productive and time billed is spent wisely and efficiently.

Inconvénients

The cost would be a factor, but they do have volume discounts so that's not really a deal breaker for us.

Avantages

. It prevents staff from using cheating software.

Inconvénients

The lowest activity rate should be in 10 minutes. Not all users are on data entry jobs

Avantages

Easy to track time. Great back-end functionality. Ability to assign admins that don't need time tracking. White-label client portal.

Inconvénients

Screenshots are only retained for 12 months. It's too easy to track time on the wrong project. You can fix it quickly, but you end up with a few seconds tracked on the wrong task.

Avantages

It's easy after a while, I can see what I'm working currently from seeing the tab anywhere on my screen, as much as my colleagues from my team's dashboard.

Inconvénients

Well, sometimes it doesn't synchronize well and I have to remember exactly what I was working those times and finally manually set on TD's dashboard.

Also, not all users are able to search a project's name from the app, they have to open the dropdown and search by themselves. It's bad because when we have many projects it gets odd.

Avantages

Time doctor has been so useful to our company. It tracks everything that we need from our users. It is very user friendly!! The features are great.

Inconvénients

We cannot retrieve the deleted screenshots

Avantages

The app is pretty easy to use.. You load tasks and start them by clicking on PLAY. It has lots of features including webcam shots, screenshots, time tracker and pop up that asks whether you've been working when there's no activity on the user's side. They have a computer and mobile app.
Really good feature is that as a company you can set it up to blur screenshots taken so no information is leaked.

Inconvénients

It does not help employees to be productive. The sign that pops up when there's no mouse or keyboard activity shows even when you're watching a video, on a webinar or even making a presentation in which is mostly talking and it is not only super unprofessional but also, if you fail to click on the "Yes (I am working)" the time worked will turn orange and labeled as "Manually added time".
