Crisp and highly efficient

I really like using Pause. Has been super easy to use and very efficient so far.

PROS

I love the fact that this software is completely no-nonsense - serves it's purpose and provides just the right features. It's not overcrowded with lots of frills and complicated integrations. Also, allows us to go check inter and intra-team leaves, birthdays, etc. I could even set up slack reminders for my teammate's special days through Pause. Best part? The Pause bot on slack. Applying for leaves and even getting them approves is literally just a few clicks away. Oh, love the G-calendar integration feature as well. Awesome job, team Pause. Keep growing and helping people take a Pause.

CONS

So, there's this option where Pause will automatically update my status on Slack when I'm on leave - my only issue with this feature is that the leave message/status and emoji are not customizable. Even if it is, I could not find out how to customize it yet. You see when I'm sick and out of office, I wouldn't want a vacation emoji as my status.

Vendor Response

Thanks Sanchari, we've passed on the feedback to our concerned team and hope to implement it soon. We appreciate your kind words!

Pause- the convenient and economic employees tracking software

My Overall experience with Pause is just amazing, easy to access and much effective and efficient as according to me its Pros are much more heavier than its only few Cons.

PROS

Pause has been proved of utmost importance and efficiency to our organisation . Its Leave Tracking and Leave Approvals Control feature provides clear cut summary of the leaves taken by the employees and which ones are approved and which ones are not. Secondly the Employee Profiles Database maintained by it helps effectively in easily accessing to any if employees’ profile anytime. With its simplicity in the Dashboard, it provides its users ( employees) an easy and almost no time taking access to their desired tasks which makes it more effective and efficient.

CONS

The only thing i disliked about Pause is it does not provides any feature to maintain and process Payroll for the employees which could make it a one whole completed Software for any company so that one doesn’t need to integrate any other software with this one.

UI is best but backend is horrible

Don't focus on UI only. Focus on backend too. All hates slow app.

PROS

Lot of focus on UI and features wise quite relevant for small and mid company.

CONS

Whenever anyone login it fetches all data of all users across company. This creates security issue and due to this it lags a lot. With just single API I can get whole company information.
