Pros

It's super easy to pick up shifts, offer shifts, an see who is working. Very intuitive and easy to use.

Cons

Honestly, nothing I don't like. Maybe a few minor features to add such as being able to message coworkers, but overall no complaints.

It solved a really great problem for my company, since the program I was using before didn't help me to monitor the time clock.

Pros

Really easy to use it, friendly interface and great customer service.

Cons

That it doesn't remember the hours we set and if they're different from the ones programmed we can't do anything about it

The app is easy to use and helpful but the bugs needs to be addressed.

Pros

The news feed feature in deputy is very helpful and this is an innovative idea for a time tracking app.

Cons

There are a lot of bugs in the app.
1. In the ‘people’ section, not everyone in the organisation shows up. There is no filter there, just randomly some of the staff doesn’t show up in the list.
2. It some times calculates the time of the shift incorrectly.

Deputy has an insane amount of features that help with the management of a business, but we mostly use it for our schedules and shifts, which has worked amazingly because the platform allows you to work quickly and in a simplified manner. It has also helped us in decreasing our costs regarding wages because we are able to plan our shifts according to our sales and make sure that we are scheduling our staff in the right time. It has helped us improve our communication and it's an effective product to save time and approve simple things like day-off requests without directly communicating with a team leader.

Pros

Deputy is an intuitive tool and it's one of my favorites because it can build many schedules in a matter of minutes and not have you forget essential aspects like employee skills, costs, and locations. The platform is available to all our teams and that also means that when someone can't make it, another employee is able to immediately swap shifts with them without going through the process of making calls, but I'm also able to pick them based on skills. Deputy also considers the legal parameters and makes sure that everything is on the right track, taking in consideration paid breaks, vacation, and premium pay. Lastly, I like the recent addition of Artificial Intelligence into the schedule maker because it creates almost-perfect schedules with the right amount of members taking into account the costs associated.

Cons

My only issue with this software has got to be the mobile application, it has too many bugs and it's quite an inconvenience to use even though it should be useful for when we're not using our desktops. The app sometimes freezes randomly when using, especially when wanting to start a shift, and overall, it's a very slow app, when clicking on any function it will take ages to load the information, I wish this was improved as soon as possible because I want to be able to use the app without worrying.

This is a great tool for scheduling that prevents confusion and makes the workplace feel more fair and interconnected.

Pros

Deputy makes communication, scheduling, payroll budgeting, and so much more wicked easy! The mobile app and website allow for there to be no communication, and everyone has access anytime they need or want.
Leave management is also a lot easier!

Cons

Sometimes the leave accrual can be a little difficult to set up properly, requiring some reconciliation between our payroll provider and it's figures. I wish they had a working integration with Paychex that didn't require paying Paychex.
Some staff have difficulty receiving push notifications, but there are also texts and email notification, and the interface can be a little confusing for first time users.
The automations for scheduling are difficult to set up and usually don't work with complex scheduling requirements.

It makes it easy to see the shift schedule from the application and thus have a clearer and more detailed work organization

Pros

I find it a very useful platform where you can see the scheduled shifts and work schedules where you can have a perfect organization of time in the teams having the adequate control for the programming and assistance. The schedule can be viewed a month in advance and it also satisfies me to be able to organize myself in my other tasks and not cross times with my work

Cons

I like it and I find it useful, nothing has failed me since its installation

As the primary user, I don't enjoy using Deputy, but it does the job that we need it to do.

Pros

It is necessary for us to have a scheduling software that has a mobile app with location services. Deputy does the job.

Cons

In the past 2 years Deputy has gone through a few updates where they changed the location of certain functions and did not have a tutorial on where to find the moved functions. Additionally, some of our employees work overtime and Deputy will not add them to the schedule if they have more than 40 hours.

Scheduling and timesheets. Seeing who is on shift.

Cons

Customer Service. Once you finally get through to someone there knowledge of Deputy is very limited, and most repeat what you can read off Deputy's website. They can't answer anything even slightly remotely complex. The phone support is a farce. A box ticking exercise to say they have it, it would seem.

It did improve our capacity to track where and when our workers were and how our costs should be distributed along our projects. In other words, it has been a good tool to admin/track/adjust our efficiency.

Pros

Deputy helps to accurately schedule workers and track their time. This helps the administration to check the efficiency and efficacy as most of the time, laboring hours can go out of hand.

Cons

Although Deputy helps with scheduling and hours tracking, as an admin user it does demand a lot of time toschedule, set tasks for workers, approve timesheets, adjust or modify.

I'm quite happy with it, it's visually pleasing and helps especially when integrated to other services.

Pros

It's easy to view everything I need - who's available, working hours, time worked in a month - copying single shifts is easy and managing leaves is a breeze. The UI is fairly simple and convenient, and getting started was super straightforward.

Cons

There's one main gripe I've had with the platform: there's no easy way to copy a 3-week planning. You can generate shifts automatically, but we specifically use a non-standard shift system and I couldn't find a way to quickly extend it through copy-pasting. I need to copy and paste each shift at a time. So improved copying and a scrolling view (not just locked to a month or week) would be nice additions!
