Sling has been our best option for communication and scheduling. We looked into OnShift and other scheduling systems that aren't free. Sling has been our best option. Our schedule is a beast and Sling has made my job much easier and for our on-call staff as well. You can change the color of positions (which we love) and we love to use green for bonus money shifts!

I believe it is well suited for larger companies or companies that are looking to scale larger. It works well for all levels of business, but definitely is great for leaders who seek to better manage their employees and understand the work they are completing or just what they are doing throughout the day

Cons
  • Bring back the forever repeating shifts, they currently only repeat for 1 year so I have to go through every shift once a year & reset them.
  • Our staff liked when they had birthday notifications for staff.
  • Wish there was a way for admins to be managers of managers. What I mean by that is when management requests time off I do not get a notification so they have to let me know separately.

I would say that Verint is very user friendly and is easy to navigate. I have not had any negative experiences with training staff on how to utilize the suite and the feedback I have received has always been positive. I would say that reporting could be easier to navigate and utilize on both the back office and customer side.
