Don’t risk it **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mike H. | Founder & CEO, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 21, 2025 **What do you like best about Deputy?** It's a simple and robust scheduler if you are after very basic functionality. **What do you dislike about Deputy?** Deputy likes to promote its integration capabilities through Zapier, which can indeed be useful. For example, an employee clocking into a shift can trigger a customer survey, automate reminders, or execute other helpful tasks. Unfortunately, about five months into my company’s subscription, Deputy’s Zapier integration abruptly stopped working. Overnight, this disrupted dozens of automated tasks we relied on daily. My team had to manually execute these every morning, consuming hours of their time. Customers didn’t receive crucial reminders, surveys weren’t sent to staff, and timesheets failed to log in our accounting system. From a management perspective, technical failures like this not only impact customer relationships and the bottom line, but they undermine trust internally and make it that much harder to implement other tech initiatives. Here's the thing: I work with a dozen software providers and I understand that tech issues happen. But Deputy's tech support team is hands down the slowest and least effective I have ever encountered. They offer no live support (it is all email based), and their engineering team is based in Australia, which causes unavoidable delays for US customers (if something goes wrong after 5pm on Thursday, forget it). Even after factoring in the time difference, their response times were a joke. After making it clear their broken integration was causing my business critical operational problems, it still took them 4-5 days to send a boilerplate email reply, and at no point did their communications ever convey a sense of urgency. The last email I ever received from them was an admission they had no idea how to fix their broken integration (which they were still advertising as functional): "As there is no timeline for a resolution in the near future, this Support ticket has been closed." After two weeks without any meaningful updates and an admission from a support engineer that the platform was going to be broken indefinitely, I gave up and switched to Connecteam. I should have done this way sooner. The Connecteam guys had me set up with time tracking in just a few days, provided lightning fast support, and offered a more customizable platform at a lower cost. Even if Deputy were to fix the broken integration, the risk of another failure with such poor support to back it up is far too high for my business. I would not have chosen Deputy had I known how flimsy their integrations are and how under resourced their tech support would be. This experience was a significant waste of time and money, and I would strongly caution others to look elsewhere. **What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automatic scheduling for a large part time workforce. **Official Response from Dominic Newman:** > Hi Mike, We’re sorry to hear that this has been your experience. Your feedback is valuable and we are always working to improve our product and integrations. We want to let you know that the Zapier integration is fully functional again, and our team has implemented a solution to prevent this issue from recurring. Our support team has reached out to inform you of this update and offer any additional support. Best, The Deputy Team ### 47. Very accessible **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Deputy?** The most helpful is schedule deputy, and be able to see staff’s schedule and the list of staff working on the current shifts. **What do you dislike about Deputy?** The schedule of staff shifts are not deaf blind friendly. Those fonts of staff’s names are so tiny and there is no feature that I could change fonts to bigger ones. I could see the scheduled shift especially time very clear. The top of the schedule where it shows days (Monday to Sunday) the fonts are small and hard to read. I would recommend that you add a feature where we can adjust the size of fonts and possible colors too. It is hard to see white fonts on the green background. It would be nice to add feature that allow us to change colors such as navy blue or bald background, yellow fonts and adjust size. **What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?** Not sure what the questions is asking me. ### 48.

The easiest app to use. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lee W. | Medical Assistant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2025 **What do you like best about Deputy?** I've been using this clock in and out app for a few months now, and it's been a game-changer for tracking work hours. The interface is clean and easy to use, with one-tap clock in and out features that make it quick and hassle-free. I especially like the ability to view daily, weekly, and monthly summaries, which helps a lot when it's time to review hours or submit timesheets. **What do you dislike about Deputy?** Nothings it’s perfect and easy to get around. **What problems is Deputy solving and how is that benefiting you?** The feature I really appreciate is the notification reminders-super helpful if you forget to clock in or out. Syncing with payroll or exporting timesheets is also straightforward, saving time during payroll processing. ## Deputy Discussions - [What is Deputy used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-deputy-used-for) - 1 comment - [Can Deputy track your location?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/can-deputy-track-your-location) - 2 comments - [View Deputy pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/deputy/reviews?page=3§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-07-25+06%3A28%3A49+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=ce27c934-0b59-48a1-97f3-c466e4a6fefb&secure%5Btoken%5D=a2f3664108d9a7f9ef94a0bf3016463c1da6b9950a8b9efb6568fd4ded8cffad&format=llm_user) ## Deputy Integrations - [Gusto](https://www.g2.com/products/gusto/reviews) - [Rippling](https://www.g2.com/products/rippling/reviews) - [Slack](https://www.g2.com/products/slack/reviews) - [Xero](https://www.g2.com/products/xero/reviews) - [Zapier](https://www.g2.com/products/zapier/reviews) ## Deputy Features **Core HR** - Organization Management - Time, Attendance, and PTO - Expense Management - Salary Structures - Compliance - Benefits Administration **Employee Self Service** - Web Portal - Benefits Manager - Mobile **Automation** - Process Automation **Business Instant Messaging** - File Sharing - Notifications - Search **Platform Basics** - Reporting - Dashboard - Performance **Administration** - Payroll Entry - Time Off Accrual - Direct Deposit - Expense Reimbursement - Pre-tax Deductions - Wage Garnishment - Approvals - Check/W-2 Printing - Check/W-2 Delivery **Logistics** - Dashboards & Reporting - Data Collection - Lanuguage Options **Business Instant Messaging ** - Audio Conferencing - Video Conferencing **Platform Content** - Automation - File Sharing **Generative AI** - AI Text Summarization **Time Tracking** - Ease of Completing Timesheets - Tracking Time to Project/Task - Billable Time Rate Management **Taxes** - Tax Calculation - Tax Filing - Automatic Tax Payment **Management** - Schedule Creation Tools - Schedule Management - Employee Leave Management - User Access - User Role Access - Employee Information - Employee Information Automation **Business Instant Messaging** - Mobile Application - Web Application - Integrations **Platform Additional Functionality** - Integrations - Mobility - Forecasting - Task Management **Client Invoicing** - Electronic Payments - Project Accounting / Revenue Recognition **Integration** - API / Integration - Time Tracking Integration - Accounting Integration - Core HR Integration **Monitoring** - Regulations Enforcement - Compliance Monitoring - Integration **Generative AI - Business Instant Messaging** - Text Summarization **Platform** - Customization - Integration APIs - Internationalization - User, Role, and Access Management - Dashboards **Platform** - Reporting and Dashboards - User, Role, and Access Management - Performance and Reliability - Scalability **AI - Business Instant Messaging** - AI Powered Search - Smart Notifications - AI Powered Language Translation - Content Generation **Agentic AI - Business Instant Messaging** - Cross-system Integration - Natural Language Interaction **Mobile Time Tracking** - Time Tracking **Administration** - Business Tool Integration - Workflow - Automated Reminders - User, Role, and Access Management **Platform** - Reporting - APIs / Integration - Internationalization - Performance and Reliability - Mobile User Support - Offline **Workforce Management Platform Features** - Labor Forecasting - Shift Scheduling - Time & Attendance Tracking - Absence & Leave Management - Skills Management - Succession Planning - Workforce Analytics - Self-Service Capabilities - Mobile Shift Scheduling - Team Communication ## Top Deputy Alternatives - [Connecteam](https://www.g2.com/products/connecteam/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (3,491 reviews) - [Homebase](https://www.g2.com/products/homebase/reviews) - 4.6/5.0 (555 reviews) - [When I Work](https://www.g2.com/products/when-i-work/reviews) - 4.4/5.0 (389 reviews)
