I found it very easy to set up Vacation Tracker for our remote team! Since we work from three different locations, this tool has been of great help. It allowed us to completely eliminate spreadsheets and automate our time off management. Highly recommend!

I have no complaints, the support team has been incredibly helpful whenever we had any questions.

Overall product is great for our use of tracking PTO. Easy to setup and use. I was pleasantly surprised with the live webinars to show functionality and updates. When needed, support has been quick and helpful.

System is intuitive to not only setup but also for employee's to use. Also visually simple and not complex. The easiest Outlook calendar integration that we tested!

Some additional customizations could be nice, such as having a variety of set PTO banks that I could assign to eligible employees and having comment section to note why additional days may be added.

Overall, Vacation Tracker has streamlined our time off request, approval and tracking processes very well. We're very happy with the service, and look forward to expanded functionality and features.

Makes it very easy to manage time off requests and have visibility across departments and teams.

Would like some additional reporting, or the ability to have the date/time that a request is submitted, the name of the approver, and approval date and time of a request be included in export data.

It's been okay so far but still working with it. It may not be a good fit for us but we are learning it and making it work.

It seems relatively easy thus far but we are working with it and learning it.

Trying to figure out how to add current vacation hours and also start the accrual hours

Very Good. I have already recommended the product to others

I like the ease of implementation and it's the first tracker I have used that it's too robust for a small operation. We have some folks who are not tech savvy and they have been able to navigate the app with minimal instruction. It's intuitive and has a good user experience

That I can't turn off email notifications to managers. They would like to just login to check things out and not have their inboxes flooded.

I have only just began (Less than 2 months) but I like it. Easy and gives me what I need

Easy to set up and operate (even for the technologically challenged). The ability to categorise defferent locations with their own holidays and time zones. Importing holidays for the different locations. Diferent ways of outlooks (Calendar, summaries, individuals)

Would have liked it if I could set up the user before inviting them so they will not fall on the default location but the location I prepare for them in advance. Could have a cheaper starter for small companies (which we are).

My overall experience is really great with them, they are a friendly and helpful staff with a great product.

It changes fast, new features are coming in and the team is really helpful about any of our question.

I'm not always receiving notification when a new, probably really useful features appears.

Ease of use. It makes a very mundane task much more streamlined than how we were doing it previously (Jotform with manual management by our Ops team).

Some older users have issues with using /vacation on slack, but seem to get use to it over time.

I enjoy the personalized experience each user gets from Vacation Tracker. Vacation Tracker allows us to manage vacation via Slack and not have to take to our payroll system to manage PTO and other time off.

I do not have any cons with Vacation Tracker.

Love it! It transitioned us from forms to digital in a smooth process for our team.

I love that it integrates with Slack making it extremely user friendly and accessible to the team at any team. This was the deciding factor when choosing a PTO tracking software. Once we set it up and customized every feature, the team was able to run with it immediately.

It would be great to be able to require multiple approvals (both approvals required).

Leaving Excel behind has been a blessing and Vacation Tracker greatly helped us transition. We're happy we made the switch.

We loved how quick it was to get set up after demoing the product. Our team uses Vacation Tracker on Slack, and our favorite feature is how requesting and approving leaves only takes a few minutes. Everything else on Slack has also been great so far.

We weren't able to figure out how to schedule Reports on the online Dashboard but their Customer Support team helped us out with it!

We love using Vacation Tracker because it was super easy to deploy across our full team, and the best part is that it integrates right into Slack. This is a big deal since we all spend most of our day with Slack open, so not having to worry about another app or website is nice. We also love the ability to create custom types of time off, since our company has many different categories of time off that all have different allotments.

My only complaint would be that I wish the Vacation Tracker website was a little bit more robust. Sometimes I find it a little TOO simple. However, I think it's a double edged sword because I really do love the simplicity of its layout.

By syncing dates onto a calendar for all to see

That it can tie into MS/TEAMS CalendersSends permission for days to be approved

Does not allow for birthdays & anniversary datesDoes not send people notifications on how many days they have leftDoes not send notifications on day or days a person is out It puts "Paid time off South Carolina" on the MS Outlook calendar, which takes out too much room!

Its integration with Slack. The easy with which people can make applications

The GUI - needs to be able to set an alert that relates to company policy. e.g. if an employee applies for 3 weeks leave, but the company policy is 2 weeks leave, they should not be allowed to submit the application

Tracker is extremely user friendly and constantly updates new features. Support is extremely amazing and responsive.

When we first started with VT, certain features were not available

Vacation Tracker makes my life as a manager so much easier. I don't need to worry about tracking everyone in different places, knowing what tier they are a part of, etc.

There is nothing I dislike. I just wish I could add a few features.

We LOVE Vacation Tracker. We went from a single person tracking PTO on a spreadsheet to a completely transparent, user friendly portal. My employees were constantly asking how many days they had left and we were using paper request and payroll forms. Changes were a huge hassle. Now, they can send a chat message to request days off, see how many days they have left and can make adjustments easily. Any request are sent to managers in a chat and they can approve/deny instantly and payroll can easily access weekly reports to stay up to date. It seems like a simple thing, PTO tracking, but when it's done well like this, the experience for the entire company is so much better!

Completely paperless, easy to set up and get implemented. Employees love having visibility to their PTO and easily requesting PTO. Customer support is AMAZING!

We have a graduated yearly accrual (the longer you are here, the more days you earn) and it isn't quite set up for that yet so we update annually on anniversary dates. I wish the calendar integrated into the Teams calendar.

It was easy to roll out

This software allows staff to submit their requests and be responsible for monitoring their vacation days; we do not need to send out monthly summaries of vacation balances.

Wish we could do a reset when a work schedule changes on our own instead of requesting a ticket. We set us with our email and wish we set it up with Teams.

Setup can be done by any teammate and grouped by team cohorts, including regional teams and specialties within the org.

Outside of calendar view, there aren't as any ease options for the team individuals to see their own upcoming PTO dates grouped together - "what days am I already planning on being on PTO?"

Time saver, frees me from the mundane tasks, great price compared to the super expensive HR softwares

The bot that posts instead of the employees; the automated calculator for days-off

It doesn't prevent employees to take days off even though they are out of days-off

Great experience getting setting up. Support was very responsive and helpful.

It manages each employees allotment of PTO, sick time, etc.

Initial setup can be challenging for some but it's worth the effort.

We use mostly Vacation Tracker to track our leaves. It has been doing the job perfectly and the onboarding as been very easy. Notably, the support is excellent and has provided excellent solutions to help us implement the solution.

We initially started with the Google Integration, realizing later that the Slack integration was better for us. Unfortunately there is no simple way to to switch from one integration to another which resulted into deleting our account and recreating it using the Slack integration. This also meant importing again all our employees and leaves.

Ease of use, the fact that it is connected with SLACK

Not having the feature to block out dates and not being able to flex time in small chunks like 1 hour at a time

It's been good overall. [sensitive content hidden] has been great at responding and explaining

Easy to request and approve vacations. Slack integration. Vacation days tracking

Accrual only on advanced plan. As a seed stage startup, we cannot spend on a more advanced plan right now. So I have to separately figure out how to track accrual and that's a pain
