Excellent Leave Tracking for a Remote Team

Excellent. Saves me hours and hours every month that I'd otherwise be dealing with leave requests and trying to figure out who is off when.

PROS

Flamingo is visually beautiful and makes seeing who has what leave when a breeze. That means I don't have to spend a lot of time trying to figure it out from a tool like a traditional online calendar where it would be unintelligible. The ability to add teams and leave types and custom leaves means I can use different policies to reflect different peoples' agreements. Support is quick, innovations are quick too. It's improved even in the 7 months we've been using it. Reasonably priced too without a bunch of fluff.

CONS

No cons, all my qualms have been sorted and feedback has been taken on by the Flamingo team. What more could one ask for?

Reason for choosing Flamingo

I spent a lot of time looking at different tools. Flamingo was the best set up for a fully remote distributed SaaS team like ours. It also had the best value:features ratio.

Reasons for switching to Flamingo

G calendar got confusing after a certain point. It's best kept for meetings with Flamingo doing leaves.
