Time Doctor Erfahrungen

Vorteile

One of the very first sets of time tracker that I used . . . and still using at the very moment I'm writing this review. It perfectly fits with my internal processes. Very intuitive to use. Other time trackers try to reinvent the wheel as if mastering productivity is not hard enough. If you're using TD, you create a project, add a task, then just start doing it. No other hullabaloo.
Another advantage is the growing list of project management tool integration. Well, TD is a project maanagement tool already but if you're using other tools like Trello, you'll be happy to know that TD has you covered already.

Another advantage is the fact that TD has added the Client View feature. That means you can invite your client/s to log in to a panel and view all the screenshots and work you've billed them. That's a trust booster for you and your client especially if you're getting paid by the hour.

Nachteile

Hmm if there's something that I want TD to improve on is their mobile app. It lags from time to time. And you shouldn't let it compete with other apps unless you have a super high power smartphone. And if you're like me who's into quantified self, tracking other aspects of like aside from work is just an absolute must. And more often than not, it has to be done off your PC. That's why they have to improve their mobile app.

Vorteile

The insights into staff performance, being able to pin time to specific projects or work types as well as the efficiency brought to time management and the payroll process is worth of high praise.

Nachteile

The biggest opportunity is that Time Doctor sometimes seems to be a resource hog and can be slow to load and prone to occasional crashes which means lost time capture. If the employee or manager does not catch this, may result in underpay. The user dashboard is nice but takes you out of your work environment; something more integrated into the workflow tools like a retractable side-panel drawer instead of a web URL you have to visit would be better.

Vorteile

Having to email their support to cancel my account...I'm joking that was just the last annoying thing I was forced to do with this company. Nothing...I like absolutely nothing about it.

Nachteile

Absolutely terrible piece of software. I cannot for the life of me understand why this software has such high ratings. We used it for about six months and had nothing but problems with it. Some of the issues were:

1. Time not syncing between mobile, desktop, and web clients.

2. Time not accurately being tracked.

3. Unable to archive old project-tasks or projects.

4. Tasks and projects not syncing between mobile, desktop, and web clients.

5. Time is missing. In other words, time would be tracked and then disappear.

6. Employees who worked on sensitive areas like finance had their accounts set to blur screenshots. This never worked. They were completely in the clear which could have been a huge problem.

This has been a disaster from start to finish. We've had to manually fix tracked-time, re-bill customers, refund customers, and start all over again with an much better alternative called HubStaff--whom I highly recommend.

The biggest problem with Time Doctor is that we were working with their "support team" for over a month and supposedly they were working on fixing our problems...This turned out to be a lie. Nothing ever got fixed. The support team would never proactively give us any information regarding what they were working on and we always had to reach out to them for an update; the updates contained no actual progress information of any kind...So in other words: we were being blown off.

Vorteile

I found Time Doctor to be remarkably simple to configure and utilize. The user interface was great, and it was very instinctive. I was able to monitor my time and performance without any trouble, and the analytic and reporting tools were really useful. I was also able to make my own personalized regulations, which enabled me to tailor the program to my particular requirements. It was also very helpful that I could access Time Doctor from various devices, making it even more convenient.

Nachteile

I disliked the fact that the Time Doctor software can be quite intrusive, as it tracks and monitors users’ activities and requires employees to log in and out of tasks. This could be seen as a potential invasion of privacy.

Vorteile

It is very user-friendly and easy to navigate

Nachteile

Sometimes when I run group reports, I do not see my own time. I have to manually generate my own report separately and not as part of the group.

Vorteile

Ease of time tracking, great integrations with ClickUp, G-Suite; excellent, friendly, and efficient customer support.

Nachteile

Lack of transparency that the screens are being screenshot

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

The functionality is great and easy to use for time tracking

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Time doctor allows to monitor and manage the team with ease and drastically boosts the productivity.

Nachteile

Downloading the software takes hours sometimes,

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

Simplicity, nothing simpler than finding your task then press it to start your tracking session.

Nachteile

Sometimes the syncing of time can be incorrect when switching between multiple computers, which can cause loss of working time.

Vorteile

Time Doctor has been a lifesaver for me. I am a one-person design company and I need to track the time I spend on many different projects all at once. My previous solution was to write down the time on sticky notes or note pads, but there was always the chance that I might misplace it or lose it. Nor could I generate my invoices from my home office if I'd left the billing hours info at my office. So this was a great all in one solution. Now I can choose the task I'm working on and don't have to worry about writing things down. If for any reason I forget what I was doing for a client and didn't make my task name specific enough, I can go back and take a quick look through the automatic screenshots. I also love that I can see how much time I spend on email and other admin tasks vs the actual design work. Love the reports that Time Doctor gives me as well.

Nachteile

Not much that I don't like about this software. But suggestions for improvement?

One thing I would love to see is integration with my cell phone. Time Doctor already has an app, but I want it to automatically capture the time I spend on my phone with clients. For now I have to manually enter in this time and must note when the call started and when it ended.

Integration into Wave apps where I generate my invoices. I'd like to be able to select a project from Time Doctor in my invoice and have it automatically populate the time I spent on it and the dates I worked on the project rather than manually finding and entering this information.

Vorteile

Time Doctor is an incredibly useful tool for staying organized and productive as a team. It enables me to understand better how I spend my time and make improvements where necessary. Furthermore, its automated time-tracking feature provides me with accurate reports to evaluate my team's progress.

Nachteile

One of the biggest drawbacks of Time Doctor is that it does not integrate with other third-party tools and services, making it difficult for teams to use the tool in combination with other tools they rely on. Another common complaint is that it can be difficult to customize the settings and reports and track time in certain situations accurately. Lastly, the cost of Time Doctor can be prohibitive for some small businesses.

Vorteile

Time Doctor provides a way to monitor your time and the people you manage. You can check out screenshots of what they are doing, receive information about the software and websites they are accessing, and even report on any potentially unproductive hours, such as when someone visits social media or sites not related to their job.

Nachteile

I am satisfied with Time Doctor! I have no complaints.

Vorteile

It has all required features, and UX is very good. Everything is clear from min 1.

Nachteile

They have bugs which are not going to be fixed. And their support never tells you that. Asks for your Cache files, more details etc., but not fixing the issue.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

What I like most about Time Doctor is that it allows me to easily and accurately record the amount of time I'm working on a certain project or task. It allows me to show my clients how much time I was working on and how long each task took. I like that it also gives me a warning when I veer to a less-than productive site.

Nachteile

Don't really have any complaints. The only thing that I would like to be better handled is the dashboard where time is viewed. The issue I have is that I'm occasionally responsible for reviewing subordinate work flows and I feel that it's somewhat difficult to view their profiles as easy it is for myself. I'm sure there's an easier way to do this, but I havent found it yet.

Vorteile

Accurate time tracking for tasks and projects
screen shots and app usage is one of my favorite features since it gives you a detailed info on where we spend the most time on our projects
fare pricing and bulk discounts :)
We integrate Time Doctor with asana for seamless task tracking
Love the ability to change time spend on tasks manually in case there is need for it
we get a weekly email with information on how our account is being use
We can also manage and track time with the IOS app

Nachteile

The desktop app looks a little old school on PC but is works fine.
wish they had a better way to create tasks and mark tasks as completed when these are created inside time doctor, instead of having to delete them once they are done

Vorteile

Easy to use
Dashboard with different report with accuracy
Not allow us to open unwanted sites like fb, youtube etc
support is very kind
provide mobile support also

Nachteile

In Billing, once a card is added we cannot delete that. so it should be like we can delete and add new.
in desktop application its start record time when we set task name and press enter, instead of that we should click on the start button
in account we need to define some sites URL, so whenever user open that it stop time record without his permission.

Vorteile

Good Service, but owners earn money and forget about there users....

Nachteile

A lot of bugs that lasts for years... No Updates for the Desktop App, and iOS also. No new features for a long time...

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

It's intuitive function and how it knows to pause the timer if I quit working on a project.

Nachteile

The way it associates tasks and projects is a bit confusing at first.
