A Game-Changer for My Remote Team!
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!
CONSI have no complaints, the support team has been incredibly helpful whenever we had any questions.
Reason for choosing Vacation Tracker
Vacation Tracker has the best Slack integration! After the initial setup, there's no more need to go to the dashboard because everything is right there in Slack.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We are thrilled to hear your positive feedback.

Great program for tracking PTO
Even though I am relatively new user/admin, so far the experience has been a positive one and I believe it fits our organization's needs nicely!
PROSI love that it integrates directly with Microsoft Teams and Outlook so that employees can see everything in one application.
CONSIt is a bit confusing to navigate as there are multiple ways in Teams to request leave, see your profile, cancel leaves, etc.
Reason for choosing Vacation Tracker
We like that it integrates right into Microsoft Teams and Outlook Calendar.

DPi Review
I like the fact that you can go to "Teams" and request and approve time off, working from home, and sick days all from one place
CONSI don't like how it takes a few hours to update on your office calendar. On the website it updates immediately but not for the office calendar when you connect it unless you connect another vacation tracker then it does update automatically
Reason for choosing Vacation Tracker
Because they didn't have an app that let you request off from your phone and also couldn't see the calendar from your phone.
Vendor Response
Thank you for a great review and for your feedback Casey! Please don't forget, we offer a few calendar connections including the Teams tab calendar view and the personal calendar connection that syncs immediately. If you need any assistance setting these up, feel free to reach out at any time!

Simple and easy to use
Our overall experience with Vacation Tracker is great. The team is daily informed about each others absence.
PROSIt's synchronized with Slack and keeps our team organized and up to date on upcoming leaves. It's simple and easy to use, it enable us to successfully manage our time off.
CONSThere are no significant cons, except the functionalities which could be improved. We're missing basic features , like editing previously accpeted or made absences. Also, it would be good to have role like manager, that would manage people, instead of giving admin access to enable specific managing permissions. Competitive companies created much more functional softwares in this department.
Reason for choosing Vacation Tracker
Although we use Vacation Tracker less than 6 months we like it so far.
Reasons for switching to Vacation Tracker
Our partners have recommended us to use Vacation Tracker, so we tried and we liked it.
Vendor Response
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review Sejla! Both editing and managerial roles are features that are on our roadmap and ones we will be introducing in the upcoming year. For the time being, we have introduced a second level of permissions by separating the admin and approval role.

Works for our small team & great service!
Great customer service!
PROSIt doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles like other vacation tracking/HR software so you pay for what you really need. Love the customer service!
CONSInitial set up is easy but it would be even better if there was an automated flow to the set up instead of me picking and choosing the areas to set up. It would be great to customize even further - being able to upload our company policy on the platform would be great. The ability to pick different times and not be restricted to a full or half day would be good too. Sometimes people want to sign off a couple of hours early but you can't indicate that on here.
Reason for choosing Vacation Tracker
Had everything that we needed and not stuff that we didn't.
Vendor Response
Thank you Anna, we really appreciate you taking the time to give us a review! We will definitely take your feedback into consideration (to work on the on-boarding and other improvements). Just to let you know, we did release the hourly intervals feature, available in our Complete plan. This feature does allow you to take less than a half a day of leave! Thank you once again! :)

Vacation Tracker is decent, but could be much better.
I like that it's way more convenient than using spreadsheets to keep track of people's days off.
CONSCreating teams/departments is a bit complicated. Also, it lacks flexibility - it doesn't matter when an employee has started, the app doesn't calculate the actual vacation days. E.g. if someone starts in September, they shouldn't have the same amount of paid days off as employees who've started in January.
Vendor Response
Deyan thank you for your feedback! Within the system you are able to manually pro-rate new employees quota for the year. Additionally, we are also introducing an automated pro-rate option by Q1 of 2023! For more information, feel free to reach out to our Support team. :)

Nothing for now. Highly recommend it!
PROSWe've been using VacationTracker for a couple of months now and we're really happy with it!
CONSHonestly, tracking vacations, sick leaves and remote days for 200 people became a pretty bothersome process at one point, and all of the other HR tools looked super unorganized and had features we saw no use for. But once we integrated VacationTracker, the whole hassle of requesting and approving days off became a streamlined process that ran on autopilot. That is such a relief!

Exactly what we needed!
We are saving so much time and employee confusion about time off! Our previous system (from our payroll provider) was inflexible and often wrong. Leave time is too valuable to employees to have any mistakes.
PROSThe ability to reset time off on individual anniversary dates vs. end of year. Also the ease of use for end users, combined with the accurate tracking of time off.
CONSIt would be nice if I could auto-generate a custom report with a certain timeframe, but the reporting function is easy enough to quickly run a report for payroll.
Reason for choosing Vacation Tracker
Dashboard, end user ease, simple Slack integration, customization, editing and reporting. It's exactly what we needed.
Reasons for switching to Vacation Tracker
Was not compatible with anniversary dates and did not sync with employee dashboards, so there was always confusion about time off banks.

Thankful that we found Vacation Tracker
Overall, we are happy with the product for the cost, the UI, and the ease of use. The VT team is nice and pretty easy to work with but the actual process of merging our data was a nightmare. I wish there was an easier way - honestly we were ready to pay VT for this service because our tiny team didn't have enough hours in the day to do it ourselves. We ended up outsourcing this task to another team with more bandwidth. I'd just suggest that VT include this as part of the pricing to onboard with the platform.
PROSThe simplicity of the platform and the ease of setting it up was great. We also love the Slack integration - this was huge for our global company.
CONSThe merging of data was excruciating. It was NOT an easy process and required many hours to get the data exactly perfect for VT to be able to merge. This was really really difficult for our small HR team as we were in the midst of a hiring surge and nobody had the capacity to do this incredibly time consuming data gathering. The report from our old PTO tracker did not work for the needs of VT so someone had to go through a years worth of PTO/Sick Time, etc. for 50+ employees one by one.
Reasons for switching to Vacation Tracker
Cost primarily, ease of use, simplicity.
Vendor Response
Thank you so much for your review and for helping us spread the word about Vacation Tracker. We understand the import of data can be a difficult task when switching from another system, which is why we've introduced our new Import feature to help future teams easily enter their data into Vacation Tracker. We'll be working on improving the Import feature with time. We appreciate your feedback and happy holidays to you and your team!

Great time off management system built right into Slack
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.
CONSMy 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.

Great software, easy to use! Our entire team loves it!
Our overall experience with Vacation Tracker has been great. It’s easy to use and our entire team loves it. I would definitely recommend Vacation Tracker to all teams out there, especially startups and small businesses looking for a simple tool without a bunch of unnecessary bells and whistles.
PROSIt’s really easy to use, it took our team a week to get used to it. We love the Slack integration and the notifications, they keep our whole team up to date on upcoming leaves. We also really like how you can organize your company into teams with their own notifications and calendar feeds since our team has multiple offices across the world.
CONSThe only thing we’d like to see added to Vacation Tracker is the ability to block our team from being able to request leaves on certain dates. We sometimes have critical deadlines and we don’t allow people to take time off right before the deadlines. It takes us some time to manage this manually so it would be neat to have a feature allowing us to do this automatically.
