Shift management for events and beyond
Once the software is set up for a particular department, the management of shifts and teams is made much easier.
Bad Bad Service
The system is complicated and the customer service is very poor. We were scheduled 30 minutes of training. Our trainer literally had to cut off at 30 minutes. Turned out that the system could not accommodate a California seven day in a row overtime prevention, although we were told that it could handle those needs when we initially called about the service. In fact, that was the only reason we were interested in changing our scheduling system. I was upset by the lack of willingness by the sales rep to return calls or try to make this right. We were charged $105.00 for a system we cancelled in 18 days from the initial purchase. The training was a joke, the service was poor and the product did not meet our needs. Better customer service is needed.
Very easy to use
It is an awesome program to get on and pick your days fast and be done
A great value, an irreplaceable tool for our organization.
It really organizes our musicians extremely well, we have very little confusion now.

Fantastic Software!
Pros
I like the various search perimeters for report running. This is a great user friendly system that's easy to teach.
Cons
The Salesforce.com customer base is predominantly B2B. The CRM software is not nearly as well oriented to the B2C industry.Surprisingly, Salesforce.com generally doesnt provide a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for its cloud service unless the customer requests and negotiates it. Even then, SLAs are inconsistent from customer to customer and fall below uptime guarantees of primary SaaS CRM competitors.
Shift management for events and beyond
Once the software is set up for a particular department, the management of shifts and teams is made much easier.
Pros
I like that staff within certain roles are able to trade shifts within Shiftboard without going through management.
Cons
The software can be a bit tedious to set up. Likewise if you bulk upload your shifts then removing or changing one of them can be difficult without changing the rest.

Pros
It's cheap.
Cons
Complicated. Learning curve is steep and I am well versed in PHP script, Joomla, Wordpress and other database software. Cannot effectively staff a large business with 30 minutes of training. Poor customer service and return policy.
Response from Shiftboard
Hi Jeff ¿ Thank you for your message. We regret the difficulties you experienced and that the system workarounds we provided did not support the overtime prevention process, as you would have expected. Our billing department has confirmed that you did receive a full refund, as it is never our intention to misrepresent the capabilities of our product. We greatly appreciated the opportunity to work with you and hope that as our product evolves we might be able to better support you in the future. Please reach out if there is anything else we can do. Thank you.
Very easy to use

Pros
I like that I can go into the program and pick the days and hours I want to work and submit and it is done.
Cons
I think it would be better if I can click the entire month on the calender at one time, instead of week by week.

A great value, an irreplaceable tool for our organization.
It really organizes our musicians extremely well, we have very little confusion now.
Pros
This helps us organize all of our contractors and employees. It gets them all onboard pretty easy and has a lot of powerful tools that have made running our organization much easier. We tried a LOT of different products and this one was the only one that really met all our needs to get everyone scheduled and organized, it is an amazing value for the price they charge us.
Cons
I wish it was easier to sync with 3rd party apps. The good part is making a .csv of data is super fast and easy but I would still like to see it play nice with other products.
