Pros
After doing our research on many types of scheduling software, we have found that Sling best fit our needs through value, functionality, and amazing support.
I must say, I do wonder how long it will remain free. It's a great product and certainly deserving of a monthly cost affordable to small business as well as large corporations.
Being able to use the integrated time clock is also a great feature. There are just so many feature and customizations that it would be an asset for any type of business at any size.
Cons
Sling seemed to have constant problems loading, or randomly needing to reload, and then having troubles doing so.
My personal feelings after having to pay such high prices for cable channels on the market we just had to drop them. Someone told us about sling and to try it.
Sometimes to the shows wont work or keep loading. They wont play or keep glitching it says a error has occurred to try later.
