Overall Satisfaction with Deputy

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

rostering & time attendance

Pros and Cons

Pros

Rostering simple enough
Time attendance
follow up on unfinished time sheets with employee

Cons

Ease of uploading awards
HR
ability to record expiry of employee required training

Return on Investment

it is simple to use for the managers, takes minimal time to do rosters
its not so easy to use for reporting & budgeting, is only friendly to the IT or those with time
I find it all a bit clunky to use for the purpose of awards etc

I used TimeTarget which was very simple for budgeting & forecasting, however Deputy is a lot more modern feel than using TT. I liked that TimeTarget I could record things like when RSA's are due for renewal & had the reminders when rostering staff, took care of all that follow up.

Yes

Are you happy with Deputy's feature set?

Would you buy Deputy again?

Usability

If you are only looking for rostering & time attendance, it would suit most businesses. Once your employee count increases & there is a requirement for HR management, it doesnt support the needs of the business. So would depend on business size

Likelihood to Recommend

for ourselves it covers just the time attendance & rostering, I think for a company our size without a HR department we need a focus on that side as well
