Lots of data, easy to use

Price is right, I like the slack integration and my team finds it useful too, has a great support team that is always friendly and very responsive.

I'm still waiting for a google cal integration, I have encountered a few annoying bugs but team has always been proactive to fix and that's to be expected from a budding company. Worth the tradeoff

We have used Absence for many years, and it satisfies the needs of our small company. Perhaps a bigger company would prefer a more complex tool, but it works great for a startup. All you need to do is punch in your hours and select vacation/WFH days in the calendar when needed.

I like that Absence is very minimalistic and it's easy to navigate around the platform. There's no unnecessary features. You get emails when someone selects you as a substitute or when you need to approve someones vacation. You also get notified when your leave was approved. You can also easily see how many vacation days you have left and check the calendar of other employees.

Sometimes it can be not very straightforward when it comes to the approval process and selecting substitutes. At least in our case, I wasn't able to select someone who was working from home as my substitute. Also we're for some reason getting the German calendar instead of the Austrian one, but that might be our fault.

It was a pretty easy system to use, we liked it.

The cost ended up becoming a factor. We actually left A.io to pursue a more cost-effective option that met our needs.

I would absolutely recommend this tool to other smaller businesses - really easy to use from admin point of view and many useful reports can be created. The customer support team is also quick and professional.

This is a great software for time tracking, vacation requests and reports. You can easily overview the whole company thanks to the very clever platform. Employees like it a lot - easy to use. Your Manager just need to have one click and your request is approved. You can include comments/easily overview your whole absence availability. Customer support is also great and quick.

Sometimes it is quite complex to modify a request - you need to completely delete the previous one or you need to re-book the existing one. This can be a bit uncomfortable as sometimes only the admin can help. When the year starts, absences can mix up a bit so you need to take care of cross-checking the numbers.

I have absolutely no hesitance in fully recommending absence io to other business

The ease of the implementation and daily use is exceptional the after service from the team is outstanding and queries are answered promptly and with expertise

some of the configuration when a colleague changes shift working is rime consuming to implement
