Where Time Doctor falls short
Screenshots were not always accurate, customer service took a long time to get a hold of, and reports weren’t always working so I decided to pull the plug on it… I am finding out 8 months later I was being charged monthly for the service. G2 review
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… G2 review
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…Nothing ever got fixed. G2 review
The old client UI is not intuitive and buggy. Our team very often complains about this and they don’t want to use it. A key feature which is blurring the screenshots has been taken away from the new Windows and Mac client but the option to enforce it is still in their web backend. This gives the false expectation that the setting will be respected while it [isn’t] and this compromises the privacy and *security* of the people using this software as the screenshots can also collect passwords, private keys etc. Capterra review
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. This has been a disaster from start to finish. Capterra review
They will never let you cancel and keep charging you month on month even after your cancellation. I reached out to the support through mail and they even sent me [a] confirmation email that the account is cancelled but I keep getting charged every month. I do not recommend this to anyone. Capterra review
Measurable Results. Real ROI.
