Sage HR (formerly CakeHR) vs ScheduleFly

Likelihood to Recommend

Keeping an accurate time off calendar, with specific buckets, is extremely important. It has helped my company grow without having to manage things in Excel. Also, implementing an annual review process by using CakeHR has been very clean and transparent with my employees. This also allows me to see year over year. In years past, we used Word or a Jotform which made it challenging to pull up years past.

ScheduleFly is well suited for small or large businesses. We have around ten employees, and this works great! If you had a much smaller group to manage/schedule, you might not need something as complex and detailed. For larger groups, this would be perfect and well worth the cost for a subscription.

Pros

Employee self service - the apps and desktops GUIs are very intuitive.
Leave management - this manages itself through the app and system, saves lots of admin.
Customization - you can tailor the system more and more to suit your specific needs.
Updates and Customer Service - the CakeHR team gave dedicated a lot of time to bring out weekly updates and systems improvements which shows they are dedicated to making this a great product - the fact that they were bought by Se recently is also testament to their ongoing mission.

It works on your cell phone, which is wonderful! Our workers always have their schedules on hand and easily accessible.
ScheduleFly works in real-time, so changes and updates are immediate across all platforms
I love the message wall. If someone wants to find a replacement or swap hours, they can do so.

It can be costly, depending on the size of your team/staff.
Can be complicated and hard for older audience to adapt to and get used to
There are some extra features like the weather that aren't necessary and busy up the program.

My staff "actually" likes it! I can tell because they are actively in the program almost daily!

Based on 9 answers

Customer support is amazing. There are times I post a question and I don't get back to support. They will always follow-up with an email to make sure our questions are answered. I even had a call with Julianna who was wonderful and very personable. You definitely get a level us service that exceeds most companies. Keep up the good work CakeHR.

ScheduleFly 10.0

Based on 2 answers

I have never had to use support directly. Still, I love that even though they seem to be a smaller group that runs it, they are very personable in their email correspondence and supply phone numbers and contact information in case we are ever in a bind. It's nice to know that we have the option to contact them and will get personal support if we need it.

Alternatives Considered

For core HR functionality, this is the only product we use. For ATS, we have experimented with BreezyHR. We've learned that CakeHR is adding an ATS module soon though.

ScheduleFly had a lot of extra features that some of the other scheduling software didn't offer. For example, one of the big draws of ScheduleFly was the ability to switch shifts right in the app. Workers continually need to make changes to their schedules, and it can add a lot of time to our plates as we try to put the puzzle together and make sure all shifts are covered. ScheduleFly gives workers a chance to makeshift and schedule changes on their own and leave leadership out of the picture. I love the display and organization of ScheduleFly too! It just seems a lot more organized and put together than some of the other ones we explored.

The system shows us all days off and overtime, so we can manage this and know everything is like agreed in the contract.

Keeps everyone organized, which makes the workplace more effective and well-staffed.
The older staff doesn't adapt to the program as well and makes things difficult and added a lot of time on our plate to train.
Great way to communicate between staff!
