WhenToWork vs Google Workspace: Which is a better fit?

Greg: Hey, my name is Greg, I'm a lifeguard and I give WhenToWork three out of five stars. For more reviews like this go ahead and click below. So there are a few other options for scheduling in terms of hourly rotation shifts, things like that. And I think a lot of them probably serve the same purpose as WhenToWork, but I've noticed that quite a few employers, especially ones that I've worked with in the past, will tend to build these things internally and that's where I think WhenToWork really comes in and saves the day. There's no need to build something in-house, it's honestly a lot more complicated and it may not work as well. And so I think when it comes to scheduling WhenToWork can really have your back. Yeah, so WhenToWork provides a few different functions that I think make it a relatively good scheduling tool. One, they have a mobile app which is nice. I think more and more people who you work with will have access to a mobile phone, maybe when they don't have access to a computer. But also they take into account different preferences and things like that. So for some employers you may have a really consistent schedule, but for other employers your employees may be rotating through in terms of when they can work. And WhenToWork makes it really easy to say, hey, this is when I am available, this time, and this may be repeating. And then for other employees, it might be like, hey, I'm available here, but on this particular date I'm going to be out of the area. And it makes these things relatively easy and sort of something that until you run into that problem is maybe not as obvious. So I think as with many of these software platform solutions, WhenToWork thrives the most, I think, when you're coming from something that doesn't exist yet. So if you're lucky enough to just be starting out, this is a great solution to just run with. I came in as an employee and was using WhenToWork and had no problems learning how to use it very quickly. It was super easy to use. That said, I wasn't used to using a different platform first. It was sort of what I was just presented with. Yeah. So if you're thinking about purchasing something like WhenToWork or building internally, I'd really consider what your main goal is here. If your hope is to save time and have a really reliable scheduling software, WhenToWork's a good option. I know as someone who enjoys coding, I'd be prone to trying to build my own solution, but scheduling is a really hard problem to solve. And I think WhenToWork gets very close to doing that well, if not better than the alternatives. You have other existing software or human resources management tools, I'd look into if those integrate well. It can make things like payment easier for paying your wages, but on the whole I think it's a really good option.

Eugene L.: Hi, my name's Eugene. I am the owner of a commercial real estate company. We have about five people within our company. And I give Google Workspace five out of five. I used Microsoft Teams before, and where Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace have similar functionality, I just found Google Workspace to be more user-friendly across all my employees in different departments. I chose Google Workspace for my businesses because of how user-friendly it is and how cost-effective it is. Onboarding Google Workspace was actually pretty easy. I started with the email functionality, our main form of communication with both clients and tenants alike with our commercial real estate business. And then, as we worked through that system, we started using the drive. We started using cloud functionality, Google Workspace Docs, spreadsheets, etc. For those of you looking to integrate Google Workspace into your business, I highly recommend making sure that you're aware of how to integrate your website with Google Business and how that works to improve your business, as well as get reviews, etc.
