Deputy
Chose Deputy
Deputy surpasses expectations with its intuitive simplicity and outstanding value. It eliminates guesswork from the equation while delivering exceptional cost-effectiveness.
Chose Deputy
Deputy is less clunky than Clockify and offers more advanced integration options. I also can't stress enough how nice it is to have something just mounted to the wall running Deputy that can be on 24/7 and after five years not have some sort of breakdown.
Chose Deputy
Feature and functionality wise they are very similar. I liked the UI for both platforms. The main reason we ended up choosing Deputy is because of their good pricing, Deputy was significantly less costly, thus we are getting more value. The other reason was that I liked the …
Chose Deputy
7Shifts was not able to provide the integration we needed for our payroll system and no support to integrate with our HR system. It also did not have the ability to create custom reports or create reports in a format that we could use for payroll. The user interface was a bit …
Chose Deputy
I have used Ontheclock which is basic timekeeping but doesn't integrate with my payroll system.
Chose Deputy
Deputy provides a comprehensive approach to time tracking for employees and scheduling. I like how Deputy includes state labor laws and integrates with our payroll provider to sync hours and paid time off during each pay run. Other software providers with built-in time tracking …
Chose Deputy
I tested HomeBase and Deputy at the same time. I gave up testing HomeBase when I found Deputy immediately more user-friendly and, as I thought, more ingeniously designed. However, I did not do in-depth testing of HomeBase. I simply jumped to Deputy when I realized it would do …
Chose Deputy
I previously used ADP Workforce at another firm. When using ADP back then, there was not an app, although there may be one now. I like that Deputy offers an app and I like how user-friendly and easy it is to use. At a previous firm we also used ADP to house a lot of HR …

Chose Deputy
Kronos was not user-friendly. It was very limited on what could be done and my staff struggled to use it as well. Deputy is updated and continues to update. One of the biggest differences is my staff being able to swap shifts with other staff members. This gives so much more …
Chose Deputy
Unlike Clockify, Deputy offers an all one program from rostering and approving timesheets to payroll and HR admin. It has really helped our company keep everything in the one place and save on costs having multiple programs and software. Our staff is much happier using Deputy …
Chose Deputy
At the time I tried it (a couple of years ago, think it might have been called T-Sheets?) it really was not something we could use for running a business where the field employees didn't work fixed shifts. It would have been more work than staying with the manual timesheets.
Chose Deputy
We only had When I Work for employees to enter their hours. The functions of Deputy is way better and all employees think that it is much easier to use. It is now a year since we changed to Deputy, so I don't know if the other app has improved, but at the time Deputy was …
Chose Deputy
We did a trial of When I Work prior to implementing Deputy. Although it has been a few years, it didn't seem to have the same features and functionality as Deputy, although our pricing was less with When I Work if I recall. It may have changed since then so they are probably …
Chose Deputy
Don't remember, did the evaluations 2 years ago.
Chose Deputy
I haven't used any other product except manual word documents. Obviously using Deputy has had a huge impact on the efficiency of my administrative tasks such as timesheets rosters and payroll.
Chose Deputy
As already mentioned, it was the charging by shift scheduled and the ability to choose which employees I want working that drew me to Deputy. I had looked at Deputy several years ago, but until they implemented the "Pay by Shift Scheduled" feature, it was going to be too …
Chose Deputy
I am not quite sure about this. I did not get to use when to work a lot.
Chose Deputy
Deputy is scheduling-based. If you are looking for a HIRIS system to have everything under one umbrella it is difficult as most platforms are not geared towards scheduling and are as basic as an excel sheet. If looking for an all-in-one system make sure to see if Deputy can …
Chose Deputy
the very intuitive feature makes rostering process very fast.
Chose Deputy
I do not remember the other tools I looked at when choosing Deputy. But I do know that it offered the most features for the most reasonable cost. And it helped to eliminate the headaches I was having with the use of paper schedules. I had too many instances of “I didn’t realize …

Chose When I Work
Compared to its counterparts, When I Work allows you to interact with your staff where the others were strictly schedule based. This allows you to do so much more and saves you time from having to call each employee when something happens or a new special is announced. It puts …
Chose When I Work
It's been a long time since I searched for other products. We went from something that was simply a time tracker, so this was a big step up.
Chose When I Work
I would say that When I Work is better for a smaller company and has more options than ADP workforce now. I like that we save money as we don't need all the abilities that ADP workforce now has as we use a different company for employee PTO and benefits tracking.
Chose When I Work
I've not used another time-tracking service; this was recommended to me by a friend.
Chose When I Work
When I Work was simply the easiest of all of the products. It did everything that we needed it to do while not taking three training classes to learn.
Chose When I Work
When I Work was recommended to me by a friend. I never considered another service, nor have I since I started using When I Work.
Chose When I Work
When I Work is the first program like this that I have used. I searched online and reviews were good, the price was good and ultimately we decided to give it a try. Prior to this I was manually scheduling and calculating everything. When I Work is simple to use and a great …
Chose When I Work
I know my co-workers have evaluated many other products similar to When I Work, out of an effort to replace our using When I Work with something better and more efficient. Still, so far, they have not been able to find anything else that can suit our needs better. I was not …
Chose When I Work
The only other product we've used for staffing, outside of When I Work, is Outlook. We used shared calendars and sending emails. While the shared calendars worked for a while, the technology was outdated for the demand and emails aren't as efficient for a technology-driven …
Chose When I Work
When we were deciding on a scheduling software we evaluated When I Work and When To Work as our potential solutions. Ultimately we decided on When I Work because it offered a more user-friendly interface and was easier to use than the When To Work option. When I Work fit our …
Chose When I Work
No other product was launched in the same field with When I Work was in workforce management.
Chose When I Work
Prior to When I Work, we had been using a Google calendar. This turned out to be difficult to track, and employees would never know who else was working the shift, nor could they easily access it without a Google Account. When I Work is both app and website based and can be …
Chose When I Work
When I work worked the best for our company and needs we had for it. The reason we went with when I work was it was easy to use, visually appealing, and allowed us to track when people were working or on PTO. This has been great for our support department.

[My own feeling on the subject is] that large teams will probably enjoy the features much more than a smaller team. [In my opinion] I would not have signed up with Deputy had it not been for the integration with my payroll provider. [From my point of view] the cost is not worth it for a small team. [I've found] it has a lot of features geared towards big teams and those are not things you can "opt-out" of from a cost/tier standpoint [as far as I'm concerned].

I recommend When I Work to those companies that are looking for a way to manage work schedules and want to increase the productivity of all employees. This is an important platform that would bring excellent results to small, medium and large companies. This is a constant monitoring system which allows employees to complete their tasks in the indicated time, When I Work sends automated alerts when an employee is not complying with their tasks and this allows us to know exactly the productivity we are having in each one of the sectors. It is an excellent platform for planning and administration of working hours, it has a very easy-to-use UI that allows schedules to be easily managed. Without a doubt, When I Work would be a perfect implementation for any sector or company, since it has a lot of potential to collect exact data on compliance with working hours.

  • When I Work allowed me to color-code each employee's schedule.
  • When I Work allowed me to show who was "off" during what time of day. This was essential for morale, as our event included 16-18 hour days, and I wanted to show that everyone had down time each day.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • Integration with various point of sale systems to pull sales data vs. scheduled and/or worked hours.
  • Ability to "re-invite, " change a password or fix an employee-level account if they didn't set things up correctly.
  • An easier way of loading all holidays or facility closure dates for the year. e.g. Google reminds you, Are you open for Thanksgiving this year?

  • Customer service only available by chat or email. No phone- which is crazy, in my opinion. Slows down, getting things done.
  • Understanding their charges is a pain. I still don't know what I am paying for.
  • If you are being overcharged, they don't care; they keep you on billing for something in a group.

The basic functionality and overall efficiency it provides is enough to renew. I still would like to see improvements in reporting and leave management, but overall it is absolutely worth it to have the program. I especially like having remote access and supervisors scheduling and approving time sheets of employees

Usability

The fact that my older staff, that do not know how to use a computer, can accurately clock in and out, request time off, and view their schedules, shows how easy Deputy is to use. The app you can download on your phone, it makes these actions, even more, user-friendly.

While it's one of the better apps, my only complaint is the icon layout of the dash; mouseover sometimes doesn't work for my system.

I was told that deputy and Xero would interact and that I could do automated payslips and that’s true but they don’t [separate weekdays] and weekends which attract different pay grades. When trying to troubleshoot there has never been a solution.

Deputy provides a comprehensive approach to time tracking for employees and scheduling. I like how Deputy includes state labor laws and integrates with our payroll provider to sync hours and paid time off during each pay run. Other software providers with built-in time tracking failed to include these essential features. Furthermore, Deputy archives employee scheduling data and timesheets indefinitely even after the employee leaves, so that you have a record as required by law. We highly recommend Deputy.

We have gone from using deputy simply to schedule a couple of members of staff on coffee shop shifts, to also scheduling staff in the retail unit part of our business, to now also scheduling team days and having remote working staff start on schedule shifts to track their working hours.

  • Hundreds of man-hours saved monthly that previously was spent on recording hours work.
  • Holiday management is very clear and support fair treatment of staff.
  • The 100% accuracy of timesheets is amazing. Once approved thousands of timesheets just land in our payroll system thanks to the export/import functions.

  • Compared to what I've used before, When I Work allows you to interact with your staff more than other scheduling apps.
  • Though I don't know the cost, I was told it was cheaper than it's counterparts.
  • The app doesn't have all of the features as the full website, but it's pretty close.
