Great, reliable product with smooth onboarding experience

Great product, great onboarding, amazing support and a real time saver!
Great product, great onboarding, amazing support and a real time saver!
Pros
Surfboard is just aesthetically pleasing, my team love the look, and I love the look. It makes identifying your Activities much easier when we can colour-coordinate them. The onboarding experience was smooth and fun, [sensitive content hidden] and the team made sure to tick every box and dot every i to make sure we were running smoothly and anything not going so well was resolved quickly.I love that it does most of the heavy lifting, meaning I can concentrate more on other tasks than having to monotonously schedule each day out, it gives me a lot of time back.
Cons
The only feature I have run into issues with is the "rescheduling" feature only allows for a full week to be rescheduled instead of 1 day or one person in the team. Although I understand why this is the case, to make sure that all areas of the Q are covered and shared fairly, I think for smaller teams we need more flexibility to change one person's shift without disrupting a full team's rota. I know a new feature may be in the works for this already, just showing again Surfboard attention to client needs.

Surfboard has helped us bring a clearer vision of the team and also activity needs. It has changed the way we spread the team across different channels (phones, chats, emails, etc) and give much more structure to the day.
Pros
It's visually pleasing and the view of the day is clear. The support team is great and super reactive - they always take our feedback in consideration and work on quick fixes. I've seen so much improvement already since the day when we first used Surfboard to now, so I'm confident it will keep on improving.
Cons
it's quite tricky to get the algorithm to work exactly as we would love to. Often we see days where activities are not shared evenly between the team, some other activities are missing, etc.It still requires a lot of manual adjustments before we can solely follow the schedule. This is why I would be a bit hesitant to recommend it as it is now, as it is still quite time consuming to get the schedule accurate each day.

The team are very available and helpful, there is a lot on the roadmap and the product it always evolving in many ways to our needs. We've been really valued by the team and feedback has been taken onboard. Its been a gamechanger for our team in terms of our daily workflow and intraday management.
Pros
The product is easy to view and understand by our team and new features and improvements are constantly being made,
Cons
It still needs some work on the rescheduling function (in the works) to make real time changes more easily. Would be useful to be able to allign with budgeting for the forecasting area.

Overall I've enjoyed this experience, it's saved managers hours each week and there is a marked improvement in team performance. Over time the tool has learned our habits and requires fewer manual edits over time.
Pros
The automation of tasking based on prior inbound tickets is a lifesaver. It takes the guesswork out of scheduling peoples' weeks and ensures they're where they need to be for our customers. Slack integration is also amazing, making sure the team are where they need to be and switching tasks on-time.
Cons
Having to create a calendar and invite a Surfboard email account to track holiday and OOO was a bit clunky but it's become easier over time as updates roll out regularly.

Surfboard is a Must Have!
Reviewed on 31/01/2023
I would definitely recommend Surfboard- the platform and the people behind it are brilliant.
I would definitely recommend Surfboard- the platform and the people behind it are brilliant.
Pros
Surfboard has revolutionised our way of scheduling. It's easy to use for both admins and users, it offers great features and there are more on the way.The top releases for us are Slack integration for the Team and shift pattern rotation for the admins.
Cons
It would be great to be able to plan daily activities more than a week ahead but I know this is already in the works! We're also very keen to see reporting on the activities breakdown per surfer per month!

We now don't need to spend valuable time manually creating schedules, and we also know that each task is well-staffed.
Pros
The ease of use as both admin and surfer. Both parties can easily access what they need when they need it and the visuals are very user-friendly.
Cons
The alerts comes through early which can confuse some surfers via Slack integration. The update of the schedule regarding sickness or holidays can take 20-30 mins to update which isn't ideal.
