Who Buys & Uses Time Doctor

Time Doctor is a helpful tool in an age where working remotely has become a norm

Pros

  • It tracks computer activity, yet can be configured to pause while managing personal computer tasks.
  • It can be edited so that non-computer tasks such as site visits or meetings can be accounted for.
  • It is very helpful to refer to when submitting time sheets.

Cons

  • The non-computer task description fields have limits as far as details that can be added.

Most Important Features

  • Keeping track of time spent on the computer and other tasks while away from the office.

Return on Investment

  • The only negative impact is that some employees are resistant to use it because entering in the info manually while away from the computer is one more thing for them to do. Additionally, some are wary of any software which would have access to their personal computers and information.
  • The positive impact is that it can show the owner of the company how much his employees do for the company.

Other Software Used

Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365), Adobe PhotoShop, Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

Usability

Excellent Tool!

Pros

  • The timeline report is very helpful for me in checking the team's attendance. When I start my day, I don't have to chat each person in the team to check if they already started working. This report displays a real-time view of online and offline staff in the team.
  • The desktop application is very easy to use. No drama!
  • Other reports that we often use in translating productivity is the Total Hours Tracked and the Web and App Usage. Hours Tracked outlines how long a staff member spends working at the computer vs. away and how long their breaks last. Web and App Usage records which websites and applications are used while working so we can track patterns and learn how to keep the team on task.

Cons

  • When checking/viewing Web and App Usage, I wish there's an option on this page to update or change the app's rating without going to settings page. It will be a lot easier for us to update the ratings on the Web and App Usage.

Most Important Features

  • Timeline Report
  • Total Hours Tracked
  • Web and App Usage

Return on Investment

  • By using this app, it allowed us to work on other tasks rather than constantly having a meeting with our staff to check on their tasks. Time Doctor does the job for you.
