Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review I think the best place for TimeClock Plus to work would be at a restaurant or a busy business that has a lot of people to track and needs a robust dashboard to keep things in order. For my organization, we only have around 10 people max per location and it was a bit too expensive and complex for our needs. We could use a simpler system.
Read full review Pros 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 Read full review Track hours Track hour details User-friendly as an employee Allows our team to stay compliant Track PTO Manage time sheet on a day to day basis Read full review Cons 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.

Should be simpler way of putting employee's schedule in time clock rather than copying and pasting week after week, month after month. Should be a way to archive old employees.

Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review The support representatives respond quickly and work hard to resolve every issue. They are always friendly and courteous. The email notifications are our most significant issue, and they are still not entirely resolved. I dislike having to sign forms to allow them access to the databases routinely...it seems this could be an annual document. Read full review Implementation Rating Other than we are happy with the way Time Doctor works for us, no key insights.
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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
Read full review We switched to Namely for our HRIS system and they had a time tracking solution integrated within their software which made us no longer need to utilize TimeClock Plus. Namely's time tracking also flowed seamlessly into our payroll which made the process much simpler and easier to use. The reporting is also much easier to utilize.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Positive: The ease of not manually tracking clocking in and out. Negative: Expensive and too robust of a software for a small team. Negative: The app is dated and needs an update and can be slow. Read full review ScreenShots
