Pros

Since ESO is specifically designed for first responders, it works almost flawlessly compared to other scheduling software that is not tailored to this industry. Additionally, their staff and support are highly knowledgeable about the unique needs of first responders when it comes to software.

Cons

The softwares effectiveness largely depends on how well you set it up. This can be both an advantage and a drawback. While it offers customization to fit your needs, if you are unsure about your requirements or how certain features might help, setting it up properly can be challenging.

Pros

If you have tailored your company around ESOs limitations, it is fantastic. However, if you try to do something outside its designed scope, it quickly becomes less impressive.

Cons

I have noticed several areas where the software needs improvement, but they have not been addressed. ESO Scheduling seems to focus on minor tweaks like font color or icon changes instead of fixing significant issues. For example, it struggles with handling double shifts, lacks an easy way to add meal penalties (a recent CA law), and has ongoing issues with calculating shift breaks on pickup shifts, with no plans to resolve them. While we can work around these problems, we should not have to, especially since the prices have increased and my company cannot fully use the features.
