Sling Reviews & Product Details

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.

That you can post as many employee schedules as needed. That you can select just a few employee schedules to work with at one time and you can make that schedule for multiple weeks at one time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you write a note on the scheduled time for the employee, no one can see that note. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how user-friendly it is. I find it helpful that employees can self manage their profiles. We utilize the Shopify integrations. Sling offers way more features than any other competitor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is not much to dislike. What I dislike the most is my employees not clocking in! Perhaps when designing layouts and new features, you can think of the employee profile perspective. Make it cool and fun for them to engage with. Create more but not overwhelming reminders for them to update their availability and to just clock in. For instance, if they could set the sounds or songs for these reminders. Make it fun to look at and interact with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how simple and straight to the point it is. I also love that the app is user-friendly! We use all of the features available and just upgraded to the premium account! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One small detail we have noticed is that is it a little bit confusing to find the spot to request time off on the app but once you know where it is its not that bad. Wish it was more of a upfront button! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sling makes my scheduling life so organized thanks to its ease of use! My favorite part is the ability to copy/duplicate shifts and/or positives between my employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest issue is that the mobile app that most of my employees use can be glitchy and does not always load correctly or the app crashes while my employees are trying to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
