Pros

“Not only can we communicate with staff and update scheduling, there are forms for staff retention as well as a reward system that we can use to keep our staff motivated.”
CK

Christina K.

Manager

“We have a few different roles in our business and it requires each of them to have their own shift with that when updating the same shift I wish there was some way that we could update the shift once instead of having to change each one for the different role eg: connected shifts.”
CM

Courtney M.

Operations Coordinator

“I also appreciated the customization options, which made it possible to tailor workflows and features to suit different business needs. Although some advanced features require higher-tier plans and setup can take time initially, the software overall improved organization, accountability, and day-to-day efficiency within the team.”
AW

Allen W.

Rollingstock Maintenance Team Leader

Pros

“It delivers the most value in environments where planning complexity is high and visibility across teams is essential. While there are some usability and performance trade-offs, it remains a strong option for businesses looking to improve operational efficiency through better planning.”
LH

Logan H.

BDR

“The platform makes it incredibly easy to attach modern features like project collaborations, schedulin and payroll, in-app purchases, and geofencing without building them from scratch.”
MJ

Mystical J.

CEO

“Although there can be a learning curve when setting up more advanced features, the platform is powerful, flexible, and well-suited for organizations managing multiple projects and teams.”
MD

Marilyn D.

Agent

Cons

“We discovered during payroll processing that regular, overtime, and vacation hours were not transferring correctly, resulting in all hours being imported as regular hours.”
AS

Anthony S.

CIO

“Notification fatigue risk – With chats, updates, tasks, and alerts all in one app, employees can sometimes feel overwhelmed if notifications aren’t managed carefully.”
RS

Radha S.

Legal Assistant

“The current layout tends to focus on upcoming items, making it less intuitive when trying to review past events or quickly view an entire month's schedule at a glance.”
AM

Amy M.

Owner

Cons

“Aspects of the user interface are often described as not intuitive or dated, which can make certain features difficult to understand and navigate without support.”
CR

Cory R.

outside sales

“One of the drawbacks of Visual Planning, in my opinion, is its steep learning curve, especially for those who aren’t familiar with project management tools or Gantt charts.”
MD

Monica D.

Lead

“Some advanced features are not very easy to configure”
