Tactic vs. Homebase

Tactic is beneficial for every company who have just enough workplace stations. Most specially if the shifts of the employees are different. It helps every employee to have a seat plan and find availability for their current shift. The map that is shown in the website is also helpful as it is very user-friendly.

Homebase is a very cost-effective program that does a good job tracking employee hours as well as what employees are working on. It is extremely easy to use and has a lot of self-service features, which give employees information at their fingertips. Homebase integrates well with our payroll provider.

• There are times that is load slowly.
• It only allows us to log in at a certain period of time, like an hour before the reserved time period and sometimes I am earlier than that.
• There are some unexpected errors that we frequently encounter while using the website. It is very often, but happens more than once.

• The messaging features in Homebase are not consistent across the platform. In the app you can mass message everyone, however using the website you cannot, at least not at the price point that we are using.
• The roles for employees and how to navigate them can be confusing especially when trying to schedule one employee in two different departments.
• The separation of departments is a bit rigid and makes it difficult for universal employees to be scheduled easily.

Homebase is simpler to use. Easier to navigate and is much cheaper than other alternatives! We had trouble when I worked as they were harder to reach our ROI. Deputy was too expensive and it was the reason we decided on Homebase! Employees also find it easy to use on their end!
