Has most of what I need on a daily basis > > **Cons**: Good product, but I do prefer some features of a different a scheduling app. Otherwise I appreciate what this app does ----- ### "Convicence to access my work schedules" — 5.0/5 > **Amber** | *16 May 2019* | Arts & Crafts | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The app/ software allows me to see my up to do schedules and shifts which is quite convenient. > > **Cons**: The app is very confusing, it is not very user friendly and takes time to get the hang of it. ----- ### "Great Scheduling Platform" — 4.0/5 > **Jenelle** | *14 February 2019* | Political Organization | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I've been using OpenSimSim now for over a year. I really enjoy all of the benefits of the program. Obviously, the greatest thing about OpenSimSim is that it is free; however, I also really love the ease of use. If I am unable to put in the schedule for my agents, it is easy to instruct one of my mentors to do so. The platform is colorful, fast, and the notifications setting is much appreciated by myself as well as my staff. > > **Cons**: I feel like the platform is geared more towards businesses that consistently have weekly set schedules. With the type of business we handle, I wish there was an easier way to create multiple shift opportunities for one day. We could really benefit from being able to quickly create shift intervals. The mobile app lags a bit when a shift is posted, preventing agents from applying for the shift in a timely manner. I also wish the chat system was an API that could be integrated into other programs so that everything can be uniform. > > Overall, I think OpenSimSim is beneficial for small businesses who are looking for something that is simple, free, but VERY effective. ----- ### "Great free option for scheduling software with potential for more" — 4.0/5 > **Rachel** | *4 October 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy to use and set up. It has been as smooth of a transition for our employees One could hope for. Most employees have been able to get it set up and availability updated with no direct instruction other than our expectations. > > **Cons**: A few simple features I would like to see on the app are: view only first initial of last name on printed schedule (privacy issue of employees), hide total hours on printed schedule, select individual rights for remote clock in (paid version). > > I had a great on-boarding session with their training team. They do offer employee data importing as part of their setup but I did it all myself and it wasn’t too bad. ----- ### "Great, but slow" — 3.0/5 > **Lance** | *16 August 2019* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that it's easy to see when you and/or your peers work on the web version of opensimsim. It's easy to set-up for your work weeks too so it'll accurately show how many hours you're getting in a week, and it being easy to customize is a nice feature too. > > **Cons**: Sending messages to your peers is really slow. Even with a perfect connection it might take serveral (1-5 minutes) to send a message. Also, there was a problem my peers and I had with signing into OpenSimSim. I wish they had a feature to upload your schedule to a third party app such as Google Calendar or being able to do it on your phone using your Apple calendar. So that way my spouse and I can plan around my schedule. Another con is that it'll automatically sign you out every week. We had assigned computers at work so having to sign into my computer every single day is a waste of time. > > So far OpenSimSim has been a mixed bag. When it works well it's a fantastic software. When it doesn't work well it's absolutely frustrating to deal with. We used OpenSimSim so that way if people needed to be able to switch shifts or request time off there was a place where these requests were stored and could be accepted or declined. Our old program was all manual so it's a big help being able to see who can work and who can't all at once. ----- Page: 1 / 24\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156644/opensimsim?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/156644/opensimsim) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
