Difference between the New Time Doctor and Time Doctor Classic

 

Note: Feature availability varies by Time Doctor subscription plan and may require specific user access roles.

 

TL;DR

Time Doctor Classic is the legacy version, while Time Doctor 2 is the modern, actively developed platform set to replace Classic. Both versions provide time, website, and app tracking, but Time Doctor 2 delivers significant enhancements:

  • Enhanced reporting: Productivity rating customization, detailed activity summaries with idle time breakdowns, and internet connectivity tracking.
  • Improved data management: Custom export tool to combine multiple report datasets in CSV, XSL, or PDF formats.
  • Automation upgrades: Automatic tracking when devices start, trigger-based email notifications, and advanced idle time analysis.
  • Security & deployment: Single sign-on (Okta, MS Azure) and expanded mass deployment support (Jamf, Microsoft Intune).
  • Media capture: Screenshots plus screen video recording.
  • Platform requirements: Time Doctor 2 requires newer OS versions than Classic.

 

Some capabilities remain exclusive to Classic, including white labeling and pop-up alerts for non-work-related websites. Time Doctor 2 lacks native integrations but supports Chrome extension integrations.
