The screenshots report (below) showed that for long periods of time while the employee was “working” there was no mouse or keyboard activity at all.įor the purposes of this example I thought I’d go a step further and get Kenton from Xplaneus to play around with our data and find out statistically where this user sat in comparison to the rest of our userbase. The use of the “ automousemover” app was enough evidence to confront the developer, but for further confirmation Akil used our screen monitoring software to take a look at his screenshots. Time Doctor monitors these apps all the time so we know exactly when they’re used and for how long. If you take a look at the report below you’ll find that the second most used application is “ automousemover” which is an application designed to trick simple screenshot software into thinking that work is being done. Time Doctor is the only remote employee monitoring software that includes application and website monitoring. This is where Time Doctor differentiates itself from all other screenshot software on the market. The Critical Evidenceĭigging further, Akil looked at Time Doctor’s ‘Web & App Usage Report’. Just a couple red flags which the developer could probably explain away. Maybe he was an exceptionally dedicated worker? From his output, he didn’t seem to be:Īt this point Akil still didn’t have enough information to confront his developer. This employee was in the top 5% of Time Doctor users in terms of weekly hours worked. This employee apparently worked on one single task which took almost 54 hours to complete in 5 days. The “Time Use” report below also looks a little fishy. Someone may occasionally work 15 hours in a day, so the long hours weren’t a concrete sign that something was wrong, but they were the first red flag: The first screen here seems a little weird who works almost 15 hours in a day? Is this person an all-nighter? The following is a breakdown of what we found after he’d been using Time Doctor for a week: So I set him up on Time Doctor and he had the employee in question start using it. Akil suspected that something “fishy” was going on but couldn’t put his finger on it. ![]() He’d been monitoring his employees with some screenshot software but wasn’t satisfied with the output of one of his key developers. Last week, my friend Akil who runs came to me with a problem. Some potential customers consider Time Doctor to be too “big brotherish” because we track statistics that competitors don’t, such as which websites & applications have been used while working.Īlthough it’s impossible to satisfy everyone’s desires, there’s a reason we do things the way we do.We aren’t as “big brotherish” as some of our competitors (some customers want constant screenshot monitoring and a way to install the app without the worker knowing…).Time Doctor requires a desktop application to track time. ![]() We charge double the price of most competitors.Here are some of the things which at first glance can make Time Doctor less appealing than our competitors: I’ve been asked on many occasions why Time Doctor is better than any of the other screenshot software products on the market. ![]() This is a quick post but one that I’ve wanted to write for quite a while.
