Tuotteen Deputy arvostelut

Best Scheduling App Ever

Hyvät puolet:

I've used the software for over a year now and it makes my day to day life as an independent contractor a breeze. I can grab shifts posted by the managers shortly after they're published and can offer them up or swap them easily if I can no longer work a taken shift. I can request for leave, take a break during the scheduled shift and also view how many hours in total I have for the day, week, month in the schedule section. Their app for phones also allows you to grab, offer and view shifts and you can clock in or out on it. I especially love the seconds feature and the app being able to show me the time in my work's time zone VS mine so I'm never confused.

Huonot puolet:

It's a little slow when grabbing shifts, like you are unable to just click/accept shifts back-to-back and have to wait like 30 seconds per accepted shift for the page to load and show that you've accepted your shift. There sometimes is also a lag when starting/ending a shift and you have to ensure it was clicked properly or shows you've started/ended after the page finishes loading or you could end up being late or stay clocked in.

Staff adore Deputy's reduced office time!

Kommentit: Because it is hosted on the cloud, managers can use it from any location with an internet connection. ADP's timekeeping module makes it difficult to adjust shifts when workers are asked to report earlier or stay later for work.

Hyvät puolet:

Provides access to shift scheduling, staff attendance and punctuality records, and time off analysis reports for management. Unlike ADP's time tracking module, we don't add pay rates in Deputy so managers can utilize it without accessing confidential information.

Huonot puolet:

Given that we have many offices in each state, and that our employees often split their time between offices in different states, keeping track of everyone's whereabouts may be a bit of a challenge.

Great Product

Kommentit: Great experience, I'd definitely recommend it.

Hyvät puolet:

It's a really great App if you have a company and the team. Deputy helps to organise many things within an organization. It allows managers to send the schedules, approve staff anual leave requests, see and share news feed within a company and a few other beneficial features.

Huonot puolet:

We have no complains about this product.

Cross it off your list of potential payroll providers

Kommentit: Woeful. Save yourself the time and trouble and pick something else - Keypay is a great option and probably the next option for us.

Hyvät puolet:

Coloured locations and tracking code integration into Xero

Huonot puolet:

Customer service canned responses SCHADS Interpretation that is different to the award Errors in the software that are ignored - and then they start quoting the terms and conditions to me when I kick up about it So many inconsistencies in the product and they don't care

allows for more accomplished work

Kommentit: 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

Hyvät puolet:

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

Huonot puolet:

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 is seriously like the sheriff that came in and cleaned up our employee scheduling nightmare!

Kommentit: We had employees staying clocked on after shifts milking the clock. We didn't notice it until it was time to run payroll. Now this tells me whenever someone stays on more than 5 minutes past their shift. Or clocks in more than 5 minutes early. 6 stores, 3 shifts a day, it really adds up quickly!

Hyvät puolet:

Easy to learn. As the person in charge I not only had to learn this product, but I had to train everyone else on this product. And not just train them, but sell them on why it was better than what we were using. Luckily, Deputy is so complete, it was easy. They haven't forgotten a single step.

Huonot puolet:

I wish it synced with my Google calendar. Only thing missing.

Great product !

Hyvät puolet:

I absolutely love the online time clock and schedule feature. It also helps me keep track of a large team across multiple locations. My labor has never been more accurate. This is a great product with fair pricing.

Huonot puolet:

Importing to my payroll system was a little difficult at first but with support we worked out the kinks.

Good app for Time Management

Hyvät puolet:

A great system easy to use and great mobile app! Reports can be better but overall I am very happy with Deputy.

Huonot puolet:

Payroll Report options and approved timesheets view

Great for freelance work

Kommentit: I use this for my freelance position and it helps me manage out everything for my month

Hyvät puolet:

I get the sheets very fast and easy to understand

Huonot puolet:

When you first start using it it’s seems very overwhelming

Deputy Review

Kommentit: My overall experience with Deputy was that it was easy to see my shifts, and clock in when I got to work

Hyvät puolet:

What I liked most about Deputy is the way that you were able to pick up shifts. It made it very easy to see what was available, and sign up!

Huonot puolet:

There was nothing that stood out to me as excessively bad about Deputy.

Deputy Limitations on amount of location being used. Not exporting payroll timesheet to ADP for 2 y

Kommentit: Could be better

Hyvät puolet:

Keep track of time of employees, build schedule.

Huonot puolet:

Help is not providing answers on problems like it was 2 years ago. Live chat is gone or specialist are not helping in all subjects

Business Critical - Couldn't be without it!

Hyvät puolet:

We love the fact that it gives both the manager and the staff the flexibility to control their shifts and it gives the employees a sense of ownership - they are almost responsible for their own time management. Not to mention all the flexibility it gives the management of building shift templates, managing leave and the especially the time sheets (now that paid breaks are a feature) it makes payroll preperation a breeze. (We haven't yet used the Xero payroll integration and the Xero payroll has not yet been rolled out in our country, but we are looking forward to it). As a busy little cafe we have also used the task management feature to cover off all of our daily / weekly food safety requirements which makes it much easier for everyone to input their duties and the simple fact is - if its easier, it gets done. Before moving to Deputy we tried a few other products but this one seemed to suit us best and one of the main reasons we moved is because we felt it offered the best value for money especially as our staff numbers change all the time. We have recently expanded our operation to second location and without Deputy the shift management could have been hectic. Having this system already in place just meant that we had one less thing to worry about. Deputy has become an integral part of our daily routine.

Huonot puolet:

As mentioned earlier we are a busy little cafe so we spend most of our time on the shop floor, whilst Deputy has a fantastic mobile options and visibility, as managers it would be great if had more flexibility to "approve" more employees requests on the go like shift swaps and leave applications. Also I found that the employees with Android phones seem to have a few bugs still hiding away in their app and they also don't yet have access to the task manager on their phones. However, these are fairly small issues in the great scheme of things and based on the development rate and technical support I have received to date I have no doubt that these are already in the development pipeline. We look forward to the updates as they roll out.

No bad until you try to leave

Kommentit: I have rarely ever left a negative review in my life but after my recent experience I feel it's almost a responsibility. I closed my business in July. Not having a need for timekeeping I cancelled an account. I deleted all staff and shifts and unsubscribed from this service. I did so before the close of the billing cycle. Since this is a payment in advance service I should have been left with nothing outstanding. I've had demand after demand. I went back into the account to inquire as to why I'm still receiving demands to find that the account was not closed, I was not unsubscribed and although all staff profiles had been deleted i was still listed as having 5 staff. I updated my contact information, emailed Deputy stating that I had unsubscribed using the instructions in the help files and heard nothing more. Then the demands started again. The worst however was having to deal with their customer service rep on live chat who'd leave me sitting on live chat for 5-7 minutes at a time only to come back and claim he was leaving me hang there on purpose so "I'd calm down" He seemed to take particular exception to me insisting on a chat transcript. Given that I'm so furious with this company and how it allows its reps to treat customers, customer service rep's strategy didn't work. I got my chat transcript in the end but only by copying and pasting the entire thing myself. He wasn't too keen on his replies being included in the chat transcript. Utterly disgusting.

Hyvät puolet:

It's cheap. It's not an expensive service but the old adage you get what you pay for applies here.

Huonot puolet:

Customer service is deplorable. I've never in my lifetime of dealing with various services, apps, etc ever dealt with a customer service rep as badly trained and as unprofessional as I have seen at Deputy.

Deputy improves our business efficiency

Kommentit: We are in the air-conditioning & mechanical services industry with approx 40 employees and a similar amount of sub-contractors working on various sites throughout the Sydney Metropolitan area. Before we installed Deputy we were relying on each individual signing a "sign on/sign off" sheet at the various job sites. On these large construction sites it's very difficult for the site supervisors to monitor the actual start and finish times of individuals. Time sheets were emailed to us on a fortnightly basis from each employee/sub-contractor. These were all formatted differently and made wages preparation a long and laborious task.

Hyvät puolet:

Each site has an ipad and the employee/sub-contractor logs in at the start and finish of their shift where a photo is also taken which makes the monitoring of staff very easy. The times are approved by the office manager each day and individuals can check what shift times have been approved on their app at any time. Each fortnight the time sheets are printed, which are in an each to read formalt, and wages are prepared from these sheets. This process has reduced approximately five hours of wage preparation. Customer support has also been prompt and efficient.

Huonot puolet:

The best way to use Deputy on job sites is with a "kiosk" (ipad). We don't have secure site sheds at all sites so finding a location to put the "kiosk" with available power to charge it was harder in some areas.

Great App

Kommentit: Good

Hyvät puolet:

I like that it is easy to use, easy to find your schedule and clock in and out

Huonot puolet:

Sometimes when putting in leave or unavailability it can be challenging

Timesheet intergration into Buildxact

Kommentit: great customer support and happy with the software

Hyvät puolet:

Easy use for integration into my construction software, good customer support

Huonot puolet:

Would like to be able to track more easily employees overall costs for a year once they take holiday pay etc but it might be the package I purchase or the way i use it

Staff management made super easy

Kommentit: I use deputy every single day to keep tabs on my employees who work in two different locations. Scheduling and managing my employees couldn't be easier. Deputy is a very easy to use software used to track data, time sheets, schedules and communicate with each other.

Hyvät puolet:

I love the reports that deputy keeps track of. Every report is meticulously categorized and organized, which is a complete life saver. Instead of spending hours sorting through time sheets and data, deputy has all that for me in a single click! Payroll is super simple. I also love the way that I can communicate with 40+ employees through the news feed. I use the news feed for important company announcements and changes which is helpful because everyone has to be on the deputy software, so everyone will see the messages. My employees also interact through deputy among regarding work such as schedules, work processes etc.

Huonot puolet:

More functionality with the iOS app. I work a lot through my phone and I would be great if I didn't need to hop on my laptop to access everything I need on deputy.

Couldn't survive without Deputy

Kommentit: As a company that provides rapid response (24/7) labour hire to Mines & Industrial clients, it is essential that we can advise staff of their shifts quickly & accurately. We can have up to 3 roster changes per day (for 22 staff) and are currently saving up to 11hrs per week in admin time just by adopting the rostering & timesheet features of Deputy. Couldn't survive without this program!

Hyvät puolet:

Easy to set-up with no costly IT service visits. Being a free app removes any hesitation by staff to adopt this software. Can immediately advise staff of last minute shift changes and they can advise of their availability to HR (preventing any clashes)

Huonot puolet:

Don't seem to be able to approve timesheets from HR mobile phone app anymore.

Deputy - The Best Online Clock-in System!

Kommentit: 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!

Hyvät puolet:

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

Huonot puolet:

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.

Scheduling Software

Kommentit: Can be slow at times and glitchy. Overall good and easy to use when working properly.

Hyvät puolet:

Easy to search for shift by employee, Easy to make templates and load templates.

Huonot puolet:

Cannot filter locations, can be slow to load, Supervisor notifications go to the wrong person.

I have loved the fact that I can have as many employees that I want

Kommentit: easy scheduling, great communication with my staff and the ability for my staff to drop shifts, switch shifts of take an open shift.

Hyvät puolet:

My staff and I really like the communication in the news feed, the ability to post PDF and images as needed to all my staff as I use it for my Staff Memos. I also like the ability for them to 'confirm' the message after they have read it. Having the chance to edit the start time of a shift is also helpful as sometimes you forget to log in and it can be adjusted.

Huonot puolet:

It doesn't show the amount of hours scheduled in a day at the bottom like other software I have previously used. (When I work) and it also doesn't let you type large amounts of text in the news feed.You have to send multiple messages or upload a word document. Users have also complained that they can't view what the full shift times are of other staff working, just the start times of other people. It would also be nice to have multiple people able to log in on the same computer at once. currently one person has to log off before the other can log in.

Simple program to use with great customer service

Hyvät puolet:

Simplicity in its use. I also enjoy the ease of inputting employees into the system and the ease of placing employees into shifts. Its quite easy to use and its functionality is great throughout all levels of use. I can tell you that the customer services is also wonderful and quick to reply to any need. They really have someone available around the clock which is quite helpful considering I often times get my admin work done later at night here in the US!

Huonot puolet:

Overall, there is not much that I do not like, I do wish that Deputy integrated for little to no cost with accounting or other IT Software programs. I would love to integrate with other programs that I use, but the cost is just too high to do that with the small business that I have. Its ok...easy enough to do on my own due to the ease of use of the program overall.

Deputy makes scheduling masses easier. A few features need to be added still though

Hyvät puolet:

I love that I can copy-paste a schedule from last week, make minor adjustments for employees who have other rotating schedules to work around, or vacation days... it also makes finding available replacements drastically easier

Huonot puolet:

I dont like the printable version and I still prefer posting my schedule instead of only having it digital. I want my employees to see my notes for each shift publicly and so I have to screenshot them print which has resolution issues. Therefore I have to size increase the window (ctr+), take two different screenshots, and then stitch together with photoshop in order to share these notes. Also, we are a restaurant that does shifts to phase send people home in order of first clock in time depending on how busy/slow we are or when dinner rush slows down. There is no way to indicate this. I have to use shift end times as estimates and let employees know. Also our POS system Sapphire is not supported and we can't use the clock-in feature

CountryOptusStore

Kommentit: We were using excel spread sheet, manually calculating hours and trying to juggle shift changes. Deputy has changed everything. Copy / paste roster templates, Swap shifts, Auto-calculation of hours, notifications when team members are unavailable - the list goes on.
I recommend this product to anyone I know that runs a business with multiple staff members.

Hyvät puolet:

Ease of copying roster into the timeframe and allocating appropriate team members

Huonot puolet:

Export to Xero timesheets has to be altered manually in Xero for each line as details of type of hours worked does not match Xero. Annual / leave days taken and processed through Deputy transfer onto Xero payslips as individual days. So if a team member takes a week off, instead of it being 1 line of annual leave @ 38hours - it comes up as individual lines at whichever shift hour allocations it was originally for. Makes for an overly long payslip!!!

Deputy Staff Schedule Module

Hyvät puolet:

Deputy provides a fully functional scheduling module we use for our Veterinary practice. Our current software did not include time clock/ scheduling features. Deputy is a user friendly program that handles our paid time off requests, time clock functions, and work area assignments. Deputy has advanced security features such as photo capture at clock in, location of clock in, and password protected access. While providing these features, it also is user friendly.

Huonot puolet:

Customer support is typically via chat, and their hours of operation do not always reflect US time zones.
