Calamari Software

Pros

Nice and intuitive interface, performance even for >100 users , customer support is fast, apps and integration for other tools is a big plus.

Cons

Miss some features that would meet our complex business needs and a calendar view to could be improved.

Pros

1) Calamari's team offers a effective and quick support
2) its very intuitive and user friendly
3) has integration with google calendar, what is very usefull for us
4) You can keep track of all the hours employees work, holidays, sick leaves. Good solution for a small/medium company :)

Works very well!

Cons

We are happy with the product, but it might be better if there were more useful reports and more detail on the report.

Simple to use software to easily manage schedules, PTO, and accruals.

Pros

We love Calamari! From new users who find the interface very simple to use from administrators who can customize teams, approval flows, weekly schedules, accruing PTO, and reporting, Calamari does it all! There are always new updates which we are loving and find them super easy to implement and make our experience even better. Highly recommend this product!

Cons

The only improvement that I would suggest would be to allow the employee list to be sorted by your preference. Such as the ability to put the last name first; Smith, John.

A single pain of glass for out of office viewing and approval.

Pros

The software provides a simple method to track OOO and WFH across our organization. Also the the ability to add this data to users google calendars is clutch.

Cons

Document or add a button to add org calendar to google calendar. Outside of this I have no other cons for this service.

Cons

i signed up. received the email, followed the link and only get a green screen asking you to "wait for a while".

and after a few HOURS ( you get it right, hours ), that so-called "while" is still there. refresh / quit browser do no help. same link goes to same screen with same words.

i received the mail at 0100, tried it on 0300, get the same result. so i contacted them via the webform.

i checked back on 0700. my mailbox got nothing - not even a acknowledgement of receiving my email, and surely nothing about why the while is still staying. and yes - same signup link still goes to the same page with the same words.

i'm still hopeful, so tried again on 1900 on the same day. now the best part arrived - the same link i tried said "my license expired and my account is blocked".

so, what Calamari suggesting, is that my signup license is "looking at their green screen and wait for a while" - but hey, i haven't looked at that for 14 days yet, why have my license expired SO SOON???

is Calamari a hoax for getting my email? the other "positive" reviewers sound SO TRUE, i just can't tell how can that be. i'm not suggesting fake accounts with fake reviews, but i doubt for this kind of performance and stability, how can i handle the attendance / leave management thing of my whole company to it ?

Pros

In general, the experience is high level, for a long time we were looking for a solution that will feets with our needs. Calamari team is always open for new solutions.

Cons

Configuration of acceptance processes and different types of absences might be more user-friendly

Easy time management and control of presence/leave of employees, plus user satisfaction from the whole team.

Pros

A great easy to use graphic interface. It requires very little preparation and users can start working on it almost rightaway.

Cons

It still needs some improvement in the Leave module, especially concerning breaks and paid leave, which should have the ability to be left open and its duration defined by clockin and not in advance.

Pros

this app solve our hr problems! its very intuitive and help us always. all the team its very helpful and resolve any doubt we could have. Integration with google or office its very good
Works very well!

Cons

None, we are very happy with the product and has no complain. Keep working in that direction!
Thanks

Simplicity in managing and reviewing staff leave, absence and resource planning.

Pros

Calamari is fun, user friendly and keeps our team and management in the loop of all staff leave and absence matters.

Cons

A weakness (which could also be a strength) is that it serves only a single function, leave/absence management. It does well in this respect - however, a modern HR manager would really need to look to other solutions to fulfill his/her holistic HR management scope.

Pros

Calamari team offers a good support via char. It is easy to use and offers different integration levels. Open to changes and suggestions.

Cons

The program is still under development and some features are about to arrive. The reports can be improved.

helping user and control user, leave management report man hours

Pros

User interface design is a friendly. Easy create user by import from G-Suite account.
Can be use on any devices and anywhere.

Cons

we need more flexible generate reports and more detail on the report. the price a bit height for us.
Need some variety such as reward for who 0 leave or reward system creative.

We are a small firm, and cannot afford to maintain an HR department. This software completely solved all employee management issues. From following working hours, to keeping track of vacation days and sick days. It is simple to use, and quite powerful. I was able to adjust all settings to my country's needs, including holidays, weekend days etc... Now I can always keep track of everything regardless of where I am.

Pros

It covers all our needs. I can keep track of all employee working hours, vacations, sick leaves, and it's all easy and clearly documented. For a small firm like ours, this software is a must.

Cons

There's very little that I don't like. Except that the signing out/in via mobile devices doesn't work for at least one type of device.

Smoother HR in leave application and approval and also reduction of paperwork and head count in HR.

Pros

Calamari is an easy to use HR system, with easy and simple setup for any organisation. It convenient and easy to access as it is a web-based system. The system can cater for both local and international organisation with option to customize according to the country's holiday requirements.

Cons

They still lack in their mobile application but they are improving with each update. They have bug fixes off and on but their customer service are swift to tackle the bugs in the software.

We replaced e-mail systems from Lotus Notes to G-mail in our company. Our time off application was Departmental Calendar from Spring Logic. We found this app (Calamari) which has the same functionality and was easier to implement.

Pros

Simple to use
easy implementation
Compatible with G-mail
Track employees vacation, days off or remote work in Calamari shared calendars. Synchronize time off requests with G Suite Calendar,

Cons

I would like representation here in the US if possible
1) Tutorials and knowledgebase could have a few more examples of different scenarios that the administrator might encounter when setting up more complex leave policies. That being said, the Calamari team was more than willing to guide through anything I wasn't sure of.

Pros

How well it tracks and the calendar

as well as assigning people to cover when off

Ease of use

Cons

The app isn't as easy to use

I would Prefer alerts if more than one person takes off same day

Pros

Great UI, fabulous customer service, easy to use from a team setup and approval process, and it now include a lengthy list of 3rd party integrations such as O365 and JIRA etc. A must have in the workplace!

Cons

There could be some better intergration with JIRA but there are multiple systems out there and it's hard to cater for all items. A public roadmap would be amazing!

easy to use leave tracking. Employees like the slack integration.

Pros

The slack integration was the killer feature for us. It makes it very easy to request leave in channel.

Cons

No major complaints. The ability to customize email responses is a feature that seems to be missing from the current release.

Pros

Easy to use - covers every business-case for clockin and leave
Perfect support
a lot of integrations

Cons

Nothing - everything is really perfect. There've been some problems, but they've been sold within minutes from the support

Pros

I like having all of the PTO accruals and information in one place where we can look at our meetings as we are planning and staffing.

Cons

I do not have any complaints at this time. I wish that I had Calamari earlier to help minimize prior manual efforts of tracking the company's PTO information.

It improved absence management and leave transparency significantly

Pros

Calamari is easy to implement, administrate and use. The customer support and the flexibility of the team is outstanding. The tools is feature rich but clean in design. New features and improvements are added on a regular basis and the roadmap is made transparent. Integrations to google, slack or other tools are in built. Customizing to specific needs is possible. Calamari increased management and transparency on absence/leaves significantly.

Cons

Nothing in specific. If something was missing or did not work as intended we always found a quick solution
