Recensioni su ScheduleAnywhere

Review

Commenti: Excellent

Aspetti positivi:

Using this product took minutes to complete an entire years worth of scheduling.

Aspetti negativi:

Only wish there were more colors to use.

Amazing Product!

Commenti: [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] helped me set up the system and was very patient and helpful. If I have issues, he answers no matter what day or time it is. I used to spend up to 4 hours per day on hand-generated spreadsheets. It’s all I ever got accomplished. Now, I can Add employees, change schedules, and see years ahead within minutes or less! Our staff loves this product! They can now submit for time off and view schedules from any pc or their phone. This product has saved our Agency money and time.. I can now accomplish scheduling tasks in a fraction of the time freeing myself and other supervisors up to concentrate on other issues. It’s highly efficient and visually pleasing! Schedule Anywhere is one of the best products our Agency has ever implemented. I highly recommend this to anyone whether you have 5 employees or 500.

Aspetti positivi:

To be able to visually see our entire staffs schedules for a 6-week period with just a glance.

Aspetti negativi:

Initial set up was a little too complicated for me to understand. For example, setting up Shifts and Coverage Watches, understanding when to use an Explanation, and understanding all of the features. Once set up, it was a breeze! I’d like to be able to view more days spans instead of just 1, 7, 14 etc. for example I’d like to be able to view 2, 3, 4 .... etc. I wish the app was more detailed and I could view the entire schedule instead of just one day at a time. I’d like to be able to print all people on a shift daily as opposed to just the ones working.

Good product but not the easiest to work with

Commenti: The program does its job for us. I wish it would speak with Google calendar and other scheduling programs.

Aspetti positivi:

We have several different shifts and units. Schedule Anywhere allows us to view yearly schedules for our essential employees.

Aspetti negativi:

It can be difficult to use at times. The mobile version needs to be improved. It is basically useless as it stands now.

Schedule anywhere

Commenti: I have loved working in SA for 2 1/2 years....so much better than the old way we did scheduling!! staff love being able to view work schedule from their phone and it is very easy to submit trades.

Aspetti positivi:

admins can add information well into the future, no paper trail to keep track of like in past scheduling options at our facility, automatic opening of the timers, add and delete staff easily easy for new staff to learn how to use, love being able to see the schedule on phone or work on from home

Aspetti negativi:

recently our facility blocked staff from viewing future information on the schedule...this has been a huge dissatifyer for staff because they can't view future trades, holiday/weekend assignments, details on who they can trade with or not. They can only view a finalized schedule or during the timer for BID sheet they can view that 6 weeks. I would love to be able to alphabetize the staff names in the messages area because sometimes I need to look up past messages sent to staff. right now it is set up to organize by submission date and time...which is great most of the time. maybe look at adding a box to choose alphabetize if we need to find a specific person. would like to see an option to copy the same explanation for the entire row for the 6 week view. is there a way to count specific shifts a person has scheduled for a 6 week period? example Sally works 6 nights and 12 day shifts.

Schedule Anywhere Review

Commenti: I have a lot on my wish-list, but overall I am genuinely satisfied with SA. It has made life so much easier than having to make schedules on Excel spreadsheets like we used to do in the past. The cost is reasonable and definitely worth it.

Aspetti positivi:

--We like the fact that it can be well displayed on the computer, but then also has an App so you can see the schedule on the run. --Being able to use Highlighters and change colors of fonts for different shifts. --Having a "Today" button on the drop down calendar. (That suggestion was from me and one of my co-workers!) --Quick, friendly responses from my Account Rep [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]. --Easy to use functionality and features.

Aspetti negativi:

--I know there are buttons, but it would be better if we could use keyboard functions to Copy and Paste. --It would be nice if the current day Column was highlighted in some way so it makes the current shifts/day stand out from the rest of the week that's being viewed. --I hate that in order to move from one schedule to the next I have to use a Drop Down. It would be better to have buttons across the top so it would be one easy click to go back and forth between schedules. --Add an "Explanation" to a schedule should also add it to the Master schedule. It's annoying that if I mark scheduled PTO on a specific schedule, I also have to go into the Master to make it have the Explanation as well. --I know its all about security, but the multiple clicks and screens to Log-In is annoying and time consuming. --I've asked for this before: it would be REALLY nice to have a button that does a "SWAP". Quite often I move two staff members to optimize their assignments and if I could just click on two shifts & then click SWAP it would be amazing!!!!! --It would be really nice to have an UNDO button. Once you erase a shift, that info is gone and it can be very time consuming to figure out what shift you accidently removed. --The App could definitely be improved. Simply having a list of people and their shift/position is weak. It could be displayed so much better, but the content seems cheap and like old technology.

Great scheduling tool for law enforcement and shift work

Commenti: Our experience with this company has been excellent. From the initial demo of the product, through implementation, to continued support and regular follow-up just to see how things are going. It is a great program and does what it is designed for.

Aspetti positivi:

When I ran across this company from a magazine ad, I called them. I explained that I worked in law enforcement and we were searching for a scheduling solution, and they asked if we were working 8's or 12's (hour shifts), and what our cycle was. At that point, I knew I had finally found a company that understands the varied law enforcement schedules, which can be complicated. When I have had questions, I simply email the company and receive a quick response or phone call with the solution. Employees can use the app to request leave and their supervisor receives an immediate push notification on their phone. They can quickly ensure proper coverage There are also training video's that are short and to the point for both users and managers that can be accessed at any time.

Aspetti negativi:

I have not found many things that I don't like about this software. If anything, maybe the phone app could use a little work to make it more visually appealing.

Game Changer!

Commenti: the staff have been very helpful, and [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], our contact is always able to answer our questions. The videos are extremely helpful.

Aspetti positivi:

ScheduleAnywhere is different in that it is intuitive for 90% of our staff! As the lead person learning about the product, if and how it would fit our 24/7 facility with 9 different departments and over a dozen different shift schedules. Quickly I learned this would be a perfect fit. As with any new data base, it was a bit time consuming on the front end entering in information and making it truly fit our needs, once the data is there, there is an ease about manipulating, changing, copying information. ScheduleAnywhere does have an option of sending them data- we thought entering the data ourselves would allow us to better learn how to utilize the product. The ease our staff have found the product. We held off using the Requests for time off, yet our staff were sending requests right at the start. Accessing it from any computer, phone or tablet with ease. From a manager perspective, accessing accurate and up to date info for our staff is crucial in healthcare.

Aspetti negativi:

Alphabetizing would be great for reports. I have not used the manager reports as much as I thought as they are a bit cumbersome in extra data that I then need to delete from the excel spreadsheet.

Communication enhancing tool

Commenti: ScheduleAnywhere has been an incredible addition to our agency. We were getting complaints about communication between sections and changes to printed schedules that no one knew about. this program has greatly diminished the complaints. The availability to have notifications go out to affected officers and not every employee is great. We use the messaging function constantly.

Aspetti positivi:

The availability to review or modify the schedule at anytime is worth the cost. Schedule change notifications to the affected officers keeps them informed without having to post multiple versions of a schedule. The messaging function is an effective way to communicate with a single employee, a specific department, or the entire agency.

Aspetti negativi:

Tracking changes may be helpful for an administrator. Once the change has been posted to the schedule there is a note that states who made the change, if you know it was a change and place your cursor over it. The officer whose schedule was changed will be notified, but if a supervisor makes a change and fails to post it and I post the modified schedule, unless it was my schedule that changed and I received the notification, I have no idea what changes were made or by whom.

Love this product

Commenti: Schedule Anywhere team has been wonderful to work with. They are quick to answer questions. They also listen to our suggestion on how to better their program and have made exceptional changes from our feedback.

Aspetti positivi:

Schedule Anywhere as really changed my scheduling job. I have been scheduling in an Emergency Department for 10 years, the last 3 yrs with Schedule Anywhere. I had been awesome to be able to see staff schedules across the system, if they work in other departments, and that staff have access to schedule from home! They can submit swaps, schedule request, and vacation request on their days off. I also love the ease of the coverage watches to assure my unit is properly staffed for each shift. The filter option is also very useful when staffing a large department.

Aspetti negativi:

I wish that staff could see explanations beyond the self scheduling dates. We use explanation to mark their assigned weekend/holidays and future trades. It is a nice visual for staff to be able to see and plan for the future. I also wish, as a manager, that I could edit Shifts/ requests from the Messages Inbox.

Schedule Anywhere use for Emergency Room Staffing/Scheduling

Commenti: We went from paper scheduling to online scheduling with Schedule Anywhere so it has been a definite improvement. Like all software programs, I do feel like there is room for improvement.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the accessibility of being able to access the schedule from anywhere and submit changes/requests with just the use of my phone!

Aspetti negativi:

As a supervisor, I wish we could "hide" the schedule from staff when we are working/creating a schedule and then "post" it and make it visible to staff when we are done with it.

Best shift scheduling system!

Commenti: Awesome! I loved how easy it was to navigate and filter through different shifts

Aspetti positivi:

How easy it was to view and edit shifts!

Aspetti negativi:

The colors scheme. If it was more color coordinated it would be even better

feedback

Commenti: Team satisfaction having the schedule available to them at all times

Aspetti positivi:

product is easy to use. Staff love the ability to have it available to them at all times through the cell phone applications

Aspetti negativi:

*unable to print a copy of the schedule without having to copy/paste into a Microsoft Word document.

The Heart of NYC Ferry

Aspetti positivi:

All the features the best on the market

Aspetti negativi:

Drop and drag shifts right click for cut and paste An UNDO Button.

Great Scheduling Tool

Commenti: I supervise over 75 staff so Schedule Anywhere is easy to use and see very quickly who is working where.

Aspetti positivi:

You can use Schedule Anywhere at work, home or on your phone. Easy to make changes and for staff to put in schedule requests.

Aspetti negativi:

On your phone it is a little more difficult to utilize all the functions. If you ar scheduled on multiple units it is hard to check that.

Helping make moves!

Aspetti positivi:

Schedule Anywhere has been an assest to our programs and agency in whole. From an administrative perspective, extremely helpful and efficient.

Aspetti negativi:

From my perspective I do not have cons. I need results/reports and they are retrieved and produced in a snap.

Great tool

Aspetti positivi:

I used this awesome tool to schedule 12 hr shifts for an organization with over 30 employees. Never had an issue knowing who was on night shift or on call.

Aspetti negativi:

On the administrative side, it didn't alert users if their schedule was changed unknowingly. This resulted in more than one close call in someone missing a shift.

very time consuming depending on number of employees

Commenti: Like the email capabilities and the mass texting ability

Lafayette Police Department

Commenti: We first began exploring scheduling options right before the COVID19 Pandemic began (03/20). Managing our operations in response to the pandemic was challenging enough, but exploring new scheduling alternatives was simultaneously was overwhelming. Schedule Anywhere worked with us to learn the system and integrate the software to our troops. The entire process from first call to rollout was almost nine months, but Schedule Anywhere stayed by our side. I use the system daily to put people where they need to be. All of our personnel enjoy Schedule Anywhere's accessibility and user friendly system.

Aspetti positivi:

We switched to Schedule Anywhere after using an Xcel Spreadsheet platform. We are now enjoying every aspect of the 24/7 Internet accessibility. Also, the scheduling features allowing ease of schedule creations is a must have.

Aspetti negativi:

Learning Schedule Anywhere Software was a little daunting a first, but well worth the time and effort. Our representative/sales associate is amazingly helpful, available, and patient.

SA review

Commenti: Good, thank you.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the audit feature and tracking where you can move your mouse over. This is critical for our union contract and ensures people aren't changing the schedule last minute and blaming the employee. I like the mobile app version as well.

Aspetti negativi:

I still can't really figure out how to use the feature to let me know when there is not sufficient coverage, or if too many people may be scheduled, etc.

Schedule Anywhere - super helpful to end user staff

Commenti: Great.

Aspetti positivi:

ability for staff to see their schedule from home electronically

Aspetti negativi:

complicated set up - not enough tools/education about how to set up employees new and leaving employees. need more help learning how to do maintenance on the department level of SA

Schedule Anywhere

Commenti: We have enjoyed having the abitily to see schedules from home for submitting requests and trading shifts.

Aspetti positivi:

I like the ability to have all requests submit electronically rather than piles of paper

Aspetti negativi:

I am not a fan of the mobile app. It is too limited in views. Would like it to look and function more like the desktop application. Would be much easier to submit request if it functioned like the desktop

Chisago County- SO

Commenti: [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] has been fantastic to work with. Helps a ton that he is retired LE working on the LE scheduling.

Aspetti positivi:

Ability to customize the schedule to fit our agencies needs.

Aspetti negativi:

The mobile is far below where it should be. This is the #1 complaint I get regarding the software and would be the only reason we would consider a competitor.

Awesome Product For Ease of Scheduling

Commenti: 24/7 scheduling for staff of 25 security officers. Works fantastic and all employees readily accepted it.

Aspetti positivi:

Always works. Never any down time. All staff were easily trained and love it

Aspetti negativi:

Would like to see the mobile version have the ability to create messages to employees for shift work.

First time users of scheduling software

Commenti: So far we have enjoyed the ease of it. I would also like to mention [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], he is so helpful and always available. He is very patient too, I have truly been grateful for his help with the program. I hope he is aware of the value he adds to your company.

Aspetti positivi:

Easy to navigate and train the users. There are still so many things we have not discovered yet I am sure. The other nice thing is there are multiple ways to do things.

Aspetti negativi:

There is no "back" or "undo" button, I would be interested in knowing if there is something like this I still haven't found yet?

schedule anywhere review

Aspetti positivi:

Trading shifts amongst each other- automatically with supervisor approval was convenient.

Aspetti negativi:

We have a large department of approximately 200 employees, and when balancing a schedule it would have been nice to see the coverage watch in every section of the schedule, so if that could always be at the bottom part of the screen even if you are at the top of the schedule, or middle or bottom.
