Chose Time Doctor
I haven't used other productivity tools before. Time Doctor is my first productivity tool experience and so far I like it, its features, and its functions.
Chose Time Doctor
I had used TimeTracker against this but there is no features like Time Doctor to track productivity, unrated hours, screenshot and starts, stops, break hours features, & best thing is reports.
Chose Time Doctor
I've never used another time tracking tool. We have suffered from this tool for a while. And now we are in the process of creating our own tool so we don't have to deal with time doctor ever again. I am not sure what else is out there, but I'd be surprised if you couldn't find …
Chose Time Doctor
I have not used other products. I did research and decided to use this one based on my research and the initial reviews I read.
Chose Time Doctor
I like time doctor because I get these really nice and easy to comprehend emails every day where I can see which person worked how much and can easily see if there might be issues or missed time usage.
Chose Time Doctor
I have not used RescueTime much, but for time doctor I can say it's a good one. I suggest to every client to use time doctor because of the pricing and ease of use.
Chose Time Doctor
Although Hubstaff has a much newer and cooler design interface for their website and tracker. I found Time Doctor to be more intuitive and easier to use.
Chose Time Doctor
It was simple to register and had all the key functionalities. it also had many different ways to use it versus other tools.
Chose Time Doctor
It was intuitive, not too complicated. I liked the free trial period and I got one person for free to use it. I haven't tried any other software, but making research explanations of usage of time doctor was the clearest one.
Chose Time Doctor
I do not remember the names of the alternative solutions now. However, here are some of the criteria that we compared:
  • ease of use
  • complexity
Chose Time Doctor
  • More intuitive and user-friendly.
  • Possibility to integrate with other solutions (although not used yet).
Chose Time Doctor
Time Doctor recorded screens which was helpful at the time but Toggl is easier to start and leave notes. Google timer is better because it gives a count down instead of just running a clock. Overall tracking time was better using Time Doctor.
Chose Time Doctor
Easier for staff to use because it requires a change in ask and a reminder if computer is idle too long.
Chose Time Doctor
I used Rescue Time and Trello before but this is far better.
Chose Time Doctor
Time doctor delivers the same result as a time tracking app at a cheaper cost.

It enables you to monitor workers' time on every project. It monitors productivity even if an internet connection is not available. It provides a customizable interface. Every task is customizable to suit project requirements. It allows you to track time from anywhere in the world. In this way, it provides powerful insights to determine how many hours are required to do a project.

Time Doctor is great if you need to time how long you spend on different projects throughout the day. I am editing multiple books at once and I need to keep track of how long I spend on each one. It is not worth it if you don't need to keep track of how long you spend on a large project. I find it too cumbersome to time individual tasks and not useful enough to time just one project.

Cons
  • [Hubstaff] is limited to integrations, while working on the projects I face difficulty to drag the drop because sometimes the plan requires to be discussed and it becomes a necessity to insert various attachments on the spot so that we could achieve the maximum.
  • Further live chats should be made available.

I give it 9 because it is really good for time tracking and managing remote teams. It helps me to manage my team very efficiently. Still, prices are high, so don't give 10.

Reliability and Availability
I've never had any issues and always received proper support. They let you know in advance when they'll be in maintenance and it's always in odd hours, so it's good. You still can use it when they are maintaining it.

Support Rating
Hubstaff has always responded to support requests in a timely manner and has kept me in the loop of changes. When contacting them about future changes/features they've always been upfront on whether that is a change they are looking to make and when that change may occur. Finally, if the person I have communicated with was unable to resolve, they always escalated to the next best person who can answer/resolve.

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.

Hubstaff is a better tool than Hubstaff. There
are certain details which if present can enhance the overall user experience
and I must mention that Hubstaff has carefully taken into account and has given
attention to detail by even making easy to understand training videos available
for beginners that can further help and aid them in training.

We previously used the time tracking component within Kanbanflow.com. However, it was confined to a specific task and we needed something more holistic. Enter Time Doctor! The difference between the two was night and day. I know there are other similar time tracking apps that exist that we could have investigated. We started with Time Doctor Lite and that gave us enough of a taste to upgrade to Pro.

Return on Investment
  • The availability of the recording feature is the biggest plus of this software so that I can easily record things that can be proved helpful to me further.
  • It has replaced timesheets with spreadsheets and this is how it makes my work easier and interesting for me.
Read full review
  • 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.
