We use it as a time clock system for all our employees as well as a schedule maker. It helps us get the schedule out to everyone easily and quickly as well as let people see changes instantly. It also helps us control our hours better as we can see who has what hours each week.

It is well suited for a smaller business like ours. Scheduling is super easy to handle as well as time sheets and checking on everyone’s hours. It helps us to keep track of everyone’s hours. It is also great simply as a scheduler. I don’t think deputy would be great with an extremely large company but I don’t know.

Deputy is better with schedule management as well as adding employees. It also does everything we need it to already without having to add anything else in. It is the perfect all in one software for employee management. It does everything we need it to. It’s easy and automatic. We love it.
It is super user friendly and took me all of two days to learn how to use it. It makes scheduling incredibly easy and fast. The copy and paste function is a life saver and makes everything so simple. It’s also nice that I can work on everything from my phone.
Everything was super easy and quick. Getting it going took no time at all and worked great from the get go. Allowing our people to clock on themselves from an app made our accuracy with time much better. It makes everything super easy and we’d recommend it to everyone we know.

We moved over to Deputy from another scheduling software due to increased flexibility on details it could track with employees, specifically in the area of more advanced rules and tracking training. The copy schedule to another week has also made life so much simpler, as our previous scheduling software could only copy to next week, and this has allowed us to copy multiple weeks much faster.
  • Scheduling multiple weeks at a time.
  • Training tracking.
  • Schedule rules.
  • UI could use improvement.
Great for retail use. Not sure when it comes to scheduling hourly employees where it wouldn't work great.
  • Made training easier to track.
  • Saves time scheduling.
  • Great tool for forecasting labor costs.
Deputy has a bit more flexibility in scheduling rules and allows to track training which was a huge plus for us and why we moved over. Our team liked the UI of When I Work better, but the features of Deputy have won us over. Pricing also worked better for our scenario.
It does exactly what you would expect from scheduling software, and does a great job of it. I did find the employee details menu to not be as intuitive as I would have expected, but it tracks just about everything we need plus more and has allowed us to move away from separate methods of tracking training.
Implementation was smooth. If you are moving over from many other scheduling platforms, you should have all the information you have to implement Deputy in your organization in no time.

I currently support our team with Deputy. Deputy doesn't require a whole lot of skills to support and has a robust set of documentation.
  • Scheduling.
  • Training tracking.
  • Hourly wage forecasting.
  • Better training tracking.
  • Utilizing the tasks features.
It's been working great for us, and we haven't seen any need to move over to another scheduling platform anytime soon.
Yes
When I Work. When I Work has a price increase which was fine, but we decided to investigate other platforms just to make sure we were using the scheduling software that worked best for us. When we found Deputy, we migrated over relatively fast after seeing some of the more advanced features of Deputy.
  • Price
  • Product Features
Product features, specifically the more advanced rules about stress management, and the training tracking are what won us over for Deputy. We also like the task management built-in, but at the moment we still use another piece of software for that aspect.
I would have our team test viewing and modifying their schedule as part of the evaluation process.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was minimal
None, it was a relatively smooth implementation.
  • Online training
Did a great job of getting us up to speed with their online documentation.
I believe that the configurability is just right for scheduling software, especially for smaller businesses.
The basics of every scheduling software, have all your team members' information ready.
No - there is no facility to customize the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
We have not completed any additional configuration.
We have not purchased any type of premium support from Deputy, as they have provided great documentation and have not come across the need for it.
When we were evaluating Deputy, they promptly got back to me with every question I had, and I never felt that I was being supported just to make the sale. They seemed to genuinely care about my problems and resolve them.
Deputy has been great, but more importantly, they make it where even having to consider contacting support is a very rare occurance.
  • Basic scheduling.
  • Training tracking.
  • Scheduling rules.
  • I find the employee details menu a bit difficult to navigate.
Yes, but I don't use it
