La verdad es que ya forma parte de mi día a día. Antes de utilizar plain, recuerdo los típicos cuadrantes horarios donde se tenia que firmar de forma física. Era muy raro, había descontrol y no se compartía la información con el resto. Des de el momento en que utilizamos plain, cambió todo. Lo recomiendo a todas las empresas, además es muy económico.

Pros

Una de las funcionalidades que me ha gustado más del programa es la planificación de los tiempos y vacaciones. De una forma fácil, puedo ver que trabajadores están en activo o cuando hacen vacaciones. De esta forma, podemos planificar mejor el trabajo.

Cons

En general me ha gustado todo. La atención al cliente es muy buena y funciona muy bien. A medida que pasa el tiempo van incorporando mejoras al programa.
