Sling Pros and Cons

The most useful about Sling is that you can create different shifts at different times but also you can also leave notes when you want to let someone know that you couldn't take lunch time or you had to leave earlier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Something that Sling can improve is its interface so that it can be a little bit funnier when it comes to pictures and profiles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have always enjoyed Sling and there's really nothing I do not like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is helpful with schedule planning on the fly.

it's good I can have it on my laptop and phone.

shift updates are instant; staff can see changes immediately and they can request time off via the app.

I love the format and easy-to-use style. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am on the free version and I must confess this is better than some paid versions of similar apps.

I don't think I dislike anything about this app; If anything I dislike (my company) not being able to afford the Pro version because I am sure there are many more helpful features on Sling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can check everything about the working shift and others' shifts within one application. We also communicate with each other via Sling, create a group chat, find contacts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, the application was frozen or kept loading. So I need to restart the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like being able to communicate and share photos/documents easily with coworkers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes there are a lot of notifications for chats I'm not really involved in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to create repeating shifts, to be able to visualize what any given should look like, saves a lot of time and energy when planning a shift schedule. It gives a great overview of your business. I have never had to explain the software to my employees, as it is very intuitive. When we have hired new staff, we simply add them into Sling, and their shifts show up on their smartphone apps. I love to be able to keep an overview of all my currently active employees, as well as keep a log of former employees through the deactivated accounts. I feel you get extremely much functionality out of the free version of the software. I highly enjoy being able to see the schedule through different filters, or views. For example viewing only a certain group of employees (part-time employees for example), and seeing each day isolated, so I can get an overview of exactly which person is at work during which time of the day.

Every now and then there are some minor hiccups or bugs. But nothing serious has been wrong. Some actions require relatively many clicks to accomplish. I do feel the software is quite "intelligent" in guessing, what kind of action you want to make. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simplifies scheduling. (Works great for business owners AND employees like it too!) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Wish wording was changed (or made editable) so that the "shift acceptance" feature could be used as "shift acknowledgment." ie: "I'm aware of the shift" INSTEAD OF "I'll accept the shift." Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extremely useful software, I use it to schedule every resource requirement at my current company. It has increased efficiency and reduced overlap errors in scheduling time. The platform is especially helpful with adhoc requests that require immediate planning & resource allocation. Also love the fact that they have pre-made templates for different industries.

There isn't much that I dislike about the software, except that a few features can be hard to locate on the dashboard, while for a few, the functionality can difficult to decipher. They can probably enhance their user experience a bit more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When I come across scenarios of needing a certain feature I've never used before- it has already been thought of and is available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A better way to add "notes". I like the current feature, but it would be nice to the option to have a block appearance that Looks like scheduled shifts/employees Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple to learn and manage, Sling is quickly adopted by our entire team, leading to informed and empowered crew members. It is excellent for team messaging, individual messaging, keeping employees in the loop via "News feed", tracking PTO/requests, and detailed labor $ tracking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have tried numerous scheduling tools. Sling has out performed our expectations and is used daily by all members of our team. It is our core communication tool and is enjoyed by all team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
