It's so user friendly\! I love that you can assign shifts, remove shifts, swap and edit shifts easily. You can also very easily time track employees, which makes payroll much easier. > > **Cons**: The mobile app vs desktop experience is a bit different, and I found notifications hard to manage sometimes. > > I used it as a retail manager for over 2 years and was always thankful it existed. Support was helpful on the few occasions I needed it. ----- ### "DONT BOTHER" — 1.0/5 > **Lia** | *8 April 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: NOTHING AT ALL, THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DISGRACEFUL > > **Cons**: Customer Service is disgraceful, would not bother > > Ive used Deputy for almost as long as it has been around, and the customer services is absolutely disgraceful these days, you cant get support for account finance issues during weekends, and if you run a business that requires you access during the weekend tough shit. ----- ### "A robust system with lots of features" — 5.0/5 > **Kiri** | *22 October 2024* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Deputy is a robust rostering and payroll system with sections for tracking employee training and keeping documents safe. > > **Cons**: It's expensive, as you pay per active user and there is a base charge as well. It adds up quickly\! > > I use Deputy for rostering staff, processing time sheets and payroll and messaging the team. ----- ### "Deputy , a must to use" — 5.0/5 > **Charly** | *4 March 2026* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ib been using Deputy since years , its convenient and efficient , might not be the cheapest in the market but certainly the best > > **Cons**: The user platform is really quick to get the hang of , you can transform everything to excel spreadsheet too which fits how we run our businesses > > I will certainly give a 9.5/10 to deputy , not just a big fan of the last update for timesheet approvals ----- ### "I itially ok but we outgrew it" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *8 August 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Super easy interface for employees to use but feature add did not keep up with competitors in the market considering the price point > > **Cons**: Integration with Xero was limiting to ensure payrol was run correctly without errors. Sometimes very slow to load. > > Initially Deputy met our busi ess needs but as we grey it could not keep up necessitating us to switch providers. ----- Page: 1 / 32\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/147589/deputy?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/147589/deputy) ## 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 | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
