It allows me to have order and coordination in all my work, using this platform I do not have to move to others causing confusion

Pros

It is a platform with multiple very nice functions for my work that benefit me in monitoring and planning, its system is very easy to use and that has allowed me to have a more professional development in my area by presenting projects in the estimated times with on-time monitoring real where I can have control of the evolution and update. and also helps me with the coordination of schedules, shifts and total hours worked

Cons

It has been completely to my liking and there are no bad dislikes or bad flaws, I like everything and I feel happy using it

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.

A 360 app for managing workforce with some bugs

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.

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.

I loved using Deputy every day. What's not to love? Everything is laid out for you in a very simple, yet pleasing design. You can clearly see your schedule and any upcoming time off. Clocking in and out is super simple as well. I loved using Deputy at every company which was smart enough to implement it!

Pros

I love the easy-to-use layout. It's super user-friendly making it truly a no-brainer to navigate and use daily.

Cons

Honestly, I loved Deputy and had no issues with it. My complaint is that my company stopped using Deputy and switched to an inferior time-keeping system. Deputy was much better.

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.

Overall I like this tool a lot, as it fulfils our needs and it is very user-friendly.

Pros

There are different view options of the schedule, so can be switched according to one's needs. The exportable reports are a nice feature, as these need to be viewed and stored by other people with no access to the tool. Shifts are clearly separated, so that any gaps can be filled in.

Cons

No place in the person's shift itself to mark the night working hours.

Deputy has been a huge asset for our company and has easied staff scheduling dramatically.

Pros

Staff scheduling is by far the hardest job in the company but deputy makes it a lot easier. The ability to copy weekly shifts, add and remove staff easily is great. Staff find it very easy to use, even those that aren't tech savvy.

Cons

There is no ability to set staff as sick from your mobile device. This is really frustrating when you are on-call and out and about.

Good for small businesses

Reviewed on 25/05/2023

Pros

The ease of use and the user friendly interface for start is good for a small business that has one person doing multiple roles. Having a mobile app that can be used across most mobile devices makes it a very efficient tool for communication with staff and also a perfect system for timesheet signing. The added bonus is the geolocator for enabling shift work at multiple destinations to only be able to clock in close to the designated place of work.

Cons

Timesheet approval function on the mobile app needs improvement

Great product I highly recommend

Reviewed on 05/05/2023

Pros

I have been using Deputy for about a year and half and it has made scheduling for my team so much easier! I used to have a huge issue with team members clocking in too early but I was able to use a feature that won't allow anyone to clock in more than 5 minutes before the start of their shift. I also love that it sync's with our payroll processing company.

Cons

The one feature that I wish could be added is that we have weeklong summer sessions where people are able to pick up the shifts of their choosing. I always have to remind my team that they need to pick up all 5 days of the shifts. I wish I was able to somehow link the shifts together and they only had to pick up the grouped shift as opposed to 5 individual shifts. But that's probably a feature that's specific to our company and I don't really see a lot of other companies needing a feature like that. Other than that, I really do love using Deputy.
