VP, Group Benefits
3.0

Andrew B.: Hi, I'm Andrew. I'm a director of sales and I would give Timesheets.com a three out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. Prior to using Timesheets.com, we were using sort of a mixture between paychecks and then also sort of an internal Google Calendar type way of tracking who would be in the office at certain times and when people were coming and leaving. So Timesheets.com has made things a lot easier for us and definitely saved a lot of admin time, instead of having to look in multiple places and rely on our employees for logging everything correctly. We ended up choosing Timesheets.com just for the ease of use, the price and the simple onboarding process. Basically, it was very easy to get all of our employees logged into the system, show them how to use it, and we really haven't had to retrain anybody or had any major issues with it. The cost for the amount of employees we had we thought was a fair price there. Really, just getting it up and running was a very simple task. So we've been thrilled with the product so far and are glad that we chose it. In terms of onboarding and integration, Timesheets.com was extremely easy to use. I mean, really the only cumbersome part was getting all the employees access upfront and getting them sort of loaded into the system. But Timesheets.com assisted us with that and allowed us to save a little bit of time getting them all in there, as well as some useful resources to sort of explain to the employees exactly how to use it and use it the way that we're hoping to get the information out of them. So overall, it was a very easy onboarding process and we were pleasantly surprised with how easy it was for everybody to get up and running. When it came to Timesheets, it was a very good product and sort of opened the door for us in terms of ways to consolidate different resources and ways to track maybe when employees are coming and leaving and different things like that. We actually switched off the Timesheets a few months back, I think it was at the start of 2021. We just got offered a better price for a very similar product and they offered to sort of switch everybody over and onboard everybody. So it sort of came down to the pricing and that's why I gave it a three out of five stars originally.

Scott: Hi, I'm Scott and I'm a director of Digital Ministries. I love Calamari and give it a solid five rating. And for more reviews like this, please click below. Before Calamari, we really were back in the stone age of keeping track of everything with paper and pencil. And so people would just submit a written request when they wanted to have time off and our HR person would keep track of that with a notebook. And so we made a big leap moving to Calamari, and it's been a tremendous change. We switched to Calamari for a lot of reasons. It integrated very, very well with QuickBooks and we loved that. It was easy to use, we went through the demo, we didn't have any problem figuring out how to utilize it right away. They had incredible customer service. We'd reach out with questions and get answers right away and really felt like we mattered. And our users also found it very user friendly. So there were so many positives. We've just loved the switch to Calamari. Getting started with Calamari, as with anything always takes a little bit of a learning curve, but it really wasn't that difficult. Having the help of the Calamari staff to guide us when we ran into little roadblocks was great and we really got it up and running within a day. If you're looking for something to help keep track of your vacation time and time off, I can't recommend Calamari strongly enough. It's been great for our organization. It's easy to use and everybody loves it. We have not had any complaints at all among the administration who runs it or the staff that uses it.
