Deputy Reviews & Product Details

I like how versatile Deputy is, with options to integrate it and limit where people can log in. I can process my team’s payroll information even while I’m on vacation. It’s intuitive and easy to use, and I don’t have to train someone to use it. I also value the attendance image and face capture, which helps me check that logins and logouts are correct and belong to the actual user. I like being able to restrict logins to certain locations or devices, and to use announcements to share messages with the company. Deputy has also helped us track attendance for payroll.

I’d like attendance approvals to be more automatic. When Deputy captures only five hours of an eight-hour shift, it could suggest the missing hours and let me select the leave type, which would reduce the time and effort managers spend approving attendance. We also have limited integrations in our organization, and I think we could do better at tracking how much leave each person has used and accumulated by leave type.

I like that I can find replacements for shifts, roster in advance, and compare the day’s sales with labor costs using the forecasting data. I can see leave and availability in one app, approve timesheets easily, and keep all the HR information in one place. It saves time, makes things clear, and gives me a paper trail for staff communications, so I can look things up without any gray area. It’s useful for me as a manager, and the initial setup was really easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deputy can be a little buggy and behave strangely for different users. Sometimes the buttons could be in better places. People can accidentally start their break when they double-press the start shift button, and if we don’t catch it straight away, they may end their break instead of their shift. Then we have to communicate with the employee and fix the timesheet manually, which defeats the purpose of having it. They’re little things, nothing major, but a few details could use a bit more thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Deputy to make the schedule, and being able to copy and paste dates and times has cut my scheduling time in half. I cannot overstate how convenient that is compared to what I had to do before. Deputy is a lot easier and more concise than Replicon. It took a little getting used to, but after doing it two or three times, setting it up was real simple, and I didn’t really have any problems. I also appreciate the thought and insight behind AI scheduling, even though I don’t actively use it because I end up having to make edits anyway. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t actively use AI scheduling because I end up having to go back and make edits anyway. The details of who does what and who I need where don’t really transfer to AI. Deputy also took a little getting used to at first, but after the first few times it was real simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface is intuitive and flexible, and it can be adapted to fit our exact business needs. The schedule layout, employee pay, and pay rate information are all customizable. Overall, it works really well for our small business and covers our basic scheduling and payroll needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some add-ons require an upcharge, such as the payroll feature. That said, we can still pull timecards and reporting information and then process payroll in the format we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how I can see the whole week and drag people to put them on shift Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like how now it does not highlight the shifts of that person for the whole week when you press on their name. I really liked that part as it made it easy to see where someone was rostered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Deputy for work as an assistant manager. It’s super easy to use, and I can change things on my phone so I don’t have to use a computer all the time. When someone can’t come in, I can easily check who’s available. It’s easy to look at my timesheet and approve time off. I like the entire app because it’s simple to use, and the initial setup was easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d find it helpful to approve timesheets by employee name instead of day by day. I only approve part of my store, so seeing the names would help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Deputy is easy to use and convenient to access on the go, making it simple to manage things from anywhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all features are available through the app, so I sometimes still need to use my laptop to make certain changes or get full visibility of everything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The customization abilities and it's very user friendly/easy to navigate Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think looking at the schedule could be a little better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s a very great app, easy to publish the rosters, easy to arrange cover-ups for the empty shifts, and another great thing about it is locations to make sure everyone signs in/out from sites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes when you want to only publish one location but you have to untick all the other locations to only publish the right one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how accessible Deputy is. I can create schedules on my phone or computer, and I can clock staff in from my phone when transactions are taking place on the POS system. I also use it for clocking in and out and managing time cards. It cuts out the middle man, and I haven’t had any issues with Deputy. Setting it up was very easy: I entered my email and created a password, and everything else was auto-populated. When we compared it with Gusto, we found Deputy more accessible and enjoyed the features it included, so we stuck with Deputy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
