User Testimonials
	Shiftboard	Sling
Likelihood to Recommend	Shiftboard It's a great intro into a workforce management tool, but our use of it is basically as a calendar without it being linked to our actual calendars. It's just another tab that we have to keep open throughout our workday. It's great that we're able to see everyone who is working at what time and what channel of support, but I believe that there are visual aids that can be added to it to make everything much easier to read and more user-friendly. Incentivized Rachel Blankenship CX Trainer Read full review	Sling, Inc Sling offers enough customization I can see it working in most any scheduling scenarios. The ability to build job types into each employee gives you the control to match employee skills with the need for any particular position. Time of day templates makes it easy to select various shift times. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Shiftboard Mobile accessibility Cloud-based software Compliant with all necessary information security standards Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Sling, Inc Ease of access for managers & employees alike. Sling staff always reply almost right away when I have had questions in the past. We love utilizing the different colors for the schedule, so it's easier to see who's what and where/when. Easy for staff to apply for shifts. Free version does everything we need it to! Incentivized SH Susan Heutmaker Staffing Coordinator Read full review
Cons	Shiftboard The ability to print a month view of the schedule would be a great benefit. The signup list is a great feature, but there are too many steps to make it easy to use. The bulk add and delete process works well, but tends to be confusing for users. Incentivized Jared Hammond Technology Development Manager Read full review	Sling, Inc Notification system is weird Limited features for free Confusing layout at first Incentivized MN Mike Nitroy Store Manager Read full review

Return on Investment	Shiftboard Effective allocation to proper shows/projects for our network Effectively catches any discrepancies between scheduled hours and actual hours for employees Requires significant manpower to maintain scheduling accuracy Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Sling, Inc It has been much easier to fill shifts faster It's easy to train new staff on with ease Incentivized SH Susan Heutmaker Staffing Coordinator Read full review
