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.

Workday
Workday is well suited as am employee because it allows me to easily access pay and goal-setting information at a large org. It also made the process of getting hired and initially onboarded simple. I imagine it could be less helpful at a smaller organization where people have more direct access to folks in payroll

Workday
The way that the menus are laid out into Home, Personal, Organization, and more makes it fairly simple to find what you are looking for even if you do not know exactly where to find what you are looking for. The "Timely Suggestions" and other recommended tasks also elevate important tasks to your attention
