Sling works incredible and i use it almost daily. it offers great benefits and has a lot of things you can use to improve your business. > > My overall experience with Sling is great from the schedules to tracking time to communicate with my employees. ----- ### "Great for Small Businesses" — 3.0/5 > **Koko** | *21 April 2025* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: The app had a very basic visual appeal on desktop and was easy to use for communication. Liked the use of repeating shifts and creating chats. > > **Cons**: I felt the app has features that could be updated for better usage like employee adjust shift with management approval, forms, etc. > > Sling did its job for us but our growing company needed more. We needed a software that could encompass more features in one hub. ----- ### "My experience with Sling" — 5.0/5 > **Muna** | *22 January 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Sling is simple and easy to use for scheduling.

I like that I can see in real time what’s happening and request time off. > > **Cons**: Notifications can be overwhelming, and it’s mildly tedious to create recurring shifts. But without that issue, it's good. > > It imposed an agenda on the chaotic scheduling in our agency. We no longer cause/overlap due dates and we prevent burnout by trying to evenly distribute the work among staff. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/142542/sling?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/142542/sling) ## 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
