It’s the best professional level software for any office or school. Very reliable and super user friendly.

I grew up with this software, it was taught to me at school and I thought it was the only way to do things. I was in love with Microsoft 365, its useful, accessible and easy to use tools.

I love that the programs integrate seamlessly and can store files online in the SharePoint platform for ease of use when sharing documents for collaboration.

It's very easy to use and the fact that you are able to not only switch between them very quickly and seamlessly, but the fact that they integrate with one another is amazing.

Overall experience is great start from installing to using and updating yearly in the organisation. It just takes care of its own when it comes to updating which is great.

It is terrible on mobile or even if you just have the admin panel taking up half of your screen. Can be frustrating to work with.

The overall suite is nice to collaborate with fellow employees on specifically Microsoft Teams is amazing for collaboration.

My overall experience is good  I would recommend this program to everyone. I have had a positive experience  with this program.

If I have no internet connection then I an not able to access anything which can be frustrating if I am out somewhere with no connection.

My experience with Microsoft 365 has been great. I really like using the software because it helps me with business letters and eeseach.

It's nice to have a one-stop-shop for all of your needs. That makes it super helpful because it works across platforms.

Non profit pricing is excellent. Love the Office 365 Exchange much better than on-site.

Customer Service is included in the cos,  I have had to call them a couple of times and have been taken care of by a real person and they have resolved whatever issue I was having.

Everything you love about the disk version of Microsoft but in the cloud. Super easy to use, super easy to share - and you can plugin in Grammarly.

I like some of the apps that you can integrate with the system. They are superior and more advanced.

There are many things that I love about this program. The price point is fantastic, especially considering all the resources you get for a small monthly fee.

It's super easy to setup for my employees. I get the peace of mind they are using the best.

And all includen in the same plan. I use it in my work space and its amazing, the flexibility and the integration is amazing.

I like the ease of use of Office 365. It is a great value for the money and helps me keep all of my business information easily accessible.

The auto quarantining is a bit aggressive and sometimes has false positives. As an admin I can release them so no email is lost, but still a bit annoying.

I love that they offer Office 365 for free to use, and I love the ease of most of their apps, such as Microsoft Word, and a few other docs.

Doing the same search query on desktop vs. browser will consistently return different results, which is particularly frustrating. The calendaring system has also gotten worse over the years.

The overall experience has been wonderful. Even the customer support was a pleasant surprise, compared to others.

It was a godsend to have 365 in place, because I was able to move my business out of the office as needed during the more challenging springtime, and now have the option to work from home as desired.

The microsoft suite is amazing because it is compatible with pretty much everything now. Making documents is great because it has review things where you can send things to other people.

Microsoft Support is horrible and it takes an incredibly long time to get through to them if you have a problem.

Overall Microsoft 365 is an amazing product with great features and wonderful customer service.

The customer service staff is amazing and well trained. My experience with Office 365 has been amazing and I will continue using this product.

It’s been a great product and I like having mag programs to get various jobs done. Price point is good and quality is great.

The worst thing would be that its hard to recover lost excel documents as they don't show in recent workbooks.

I love that this program is very easy to use and has lots of functionality. I also love that there is a place to find answers when necessary.

Great suite of products. With Excel, Word, and Outlook being at the forefront of the great softwares that are part of office 365.

Ease of use and the ability to communicate and share your screen with coworkers. Great part of the Office 365 suite.

The app is great and Planday keeps working on it. I have used it for almost two years and it is really useful now.

Great sales, customer service, training, and tech personnel. Everyone is extremely helpful, knowledgeable, awesome at responding very quickly with easy to understand, concise yet complete answers.

I am excited to start using it in January because my payroll will be integrated into the schedule.

I can't say enough about how much I dislike this product. There are constant issues and glitches.

Really great experience easy to use app and it’s handy to have the desktop version too.

Customer support has been helpful and we have enjoyed our experience so far with Planday.

Nothins at all for the moment. I only had problem with the connection with the wi-fi but i believe it was the workplaces wi-fi.

Has saved us significant time and money spent on HR.

Planday really reduces management time compiling the rota, it is easy for staff to manage holidays and good to help managers stick to weekly staffing budgets.

We tried Planday for free and immediately found it to be better suited for our business' needs - mostly thanks to the skill sets.

The smartest and best employee scheduling app, with punch-clock.

Randy in Customer Support has been fantastic. I encountered a problem with my account and he called me back within minutes and was able to help me resolve the issue.

I like having an app on my phone that has my work schedule and the ability to clock in and out on my phone.

Really easy to use, great layout so it’s very clear for staff members to use. The swap shift feature is a great addition.

Planday helps breakdown my hectic schedule, and updates me the minute there is a schedule change.

This software did not work well for our needs. Our staff often works together and overlaps what they do in the store.

While working on a schedule the staff can see it in real time and can cause confusion until it is complete.

Most i like here is customizing my report and i can use it in any devices.

Planday is very easy to use, very userfriendly. The ability to customize everything is great.

We were looking for a platform that would allow employees to see their schedules, request vacations, switch shifts, etc. we also wanted a time clock that integrated with quickbooks.

My training with Daniel was great, he was patient and answered all my questions. Planday is such a useful tool for a busy restaurant group.

That the support has always been excellent. This software has had a significant impact on my ability to manage my staff in a way that is efficient for them and our office.

Again, this would prohibit them from being accidentally scheduled while they're in class. Again, while employees have this capacity, we would prefer to have it as well.

The software itself is very user friendly, easy to navigate, and appealing to the eyes. With so many choices out there, you want to make sure you go with something that you will enjoy using.

Simple easy to use, all the staff love the app.

The mobile app is so nice to use as an employee compared to the others I have tried. The others are always built for a manager.

I don't like that there is google tracking on it everywhere I go.

What I like most about this software is the support. Customer rep has been very patient and very helpful every step of the way.

This made the software very difficult to use. I found that it was also difficult for staff to request time off.

So far I am excited about the change and the time it has saved my manager each week and the money I have saved allowing her to apply her time to more worthwhile tasks.

Planday is a cloud-based employee scheduling platform suitable for businesses of almost any size or vertical. In addition to scheduling, Planday also allows managers to oversee employee hours, vacation requests, shift-swaps, payroll and employee communication.


Businesses can copy schedules week after week, rather than manually creating them each time. By providing a comprehensive overview of employee shifts, businesses can optimize their schedules to avoid overstaffing and excessive payroll costs.


Planday’s location-specific clock-in function allows employees to clock-in from any device upon arriving at work, giving administrators a full view of exact hours worked. This gives managers a more accurate overview of expected payroll and revenue forecasts.


Planday’s integrated communication function also allows for businesses to message employee groups in specific locations, while also enabling employees to message each other to swap shifts on the go.


It is available on a per-user-per-month subscription basis.
