    Tactic
    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.

    Cons
    Tactic
    • 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.

    Homebase
    • 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 very easy to use. Not a lot of training or direction is needed to get it going. Easy feature to track employee hours. Able to use centrally located tablets for employees to clock in and out. A very cost-effective system that also saves time when processing payroll. Employees love its features.

    Tactic
    We have only been using Tactic since I was hired here, so I am not able to compare it with other products. It is beneficial as it helps us work more effectively and efficiently. Moreover, it also counts how many users are logged in and the available stations as well.

    Homebase
    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!
