[CloudDesk is] well suited to cater for all your employee work progress needs. Its quite useful as its an app that allows you to keep track of remote workers across multiple time zones, especially during the worldwide pandemic. It can be used for different size businesses and industries. Very useful app, highly recommended product!!!

Time Doctor
Time Doctor is well suited for certain businesses where some or many of the employees are now working remotely due to the pandemic and post-pandemic times. It is a good way for the employer to keep track of activity and (more or less) keep people honest. For businesses and employees where there are a lot of site visits, travel, etc., Time Doctor is a little impractical since it requires the employee to manually enter in whatever time was spent on tasks performed away from the computer. If an employer is hoping to track that activity, they still need to rely on the employees' honor systems to enter in times and tasks.

Time Doctor
  • Tracked time both macro (categories) and micro (down to the project and the tasks)
  • Reminded us when we went off task and got lured in via social media
  • Provides us with detailed reports to share with joint venture partners, clients and more

Cons
CloudApper
  • Some features are still rough around the edges
  • Some bugs
  • Factors such as idle time are shown separately--one needs to manually add them

Time Doctor
  • 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.

I use this daily and it is very simple to use. The setup is very easy and customizing the fields is simple enough. Editing it is also very easy to do.

The support was terrible! They never responded in sufficient time and their assistance was always super vague. I never felt like they had an actual solution to my concerns. They were nice, but I don't feel like they were trained in their own system. It felt like I was talking to a wall.

CloudDesk is more flexible in the sense that it is easier to use and is affordable. Moreover, the app is extremely easy to use, and adoption amongst employees is higher than that of other tracking apps, as employees understand what they are signing up for. Overall, its great for monitoring desk-based employees

I still use Rescue Time for different reasons. I review my stats once a week by email. I think it's a totally different product. My egg timer keeps me more on task, but it doesn't record my times

Return on Investment
CloudApper
  • CloudDesk® is very affordable

Time Doctor
  • It helps me to use my time more effectively.
  • For a small amount each month I believe I get a huge return on investment in form of traceability of my hours spent. The major factor that made me choose Time Doctor was the price and the value. I don't think I would still be interested if it was more expensive.
