CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly recommended!" January 13, 2022 5.0 Before implementing Actiplans for leave management we had a cumbersome paper driven system that was time consuming for everyone. Even for a team of 10 people. Now the process is simple, electronic and easy for everyone and being able to see who is where is fantastic. Pros Ability to easily log leave requests, email and phone notifications, overall ease of use. The mobile app is used extensively. Cons Nothing really. Updates since we started using have addressed the issues that we initially had. Review Source Response from actiTIME February 11, 2022 Thank you for your kind words on actiPLANS!

Project Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good tools in general using" January 12, 2022 3.0 Pros The scheduling and the mission tracking reort Cons limit of the users, since the price is not cheap, the limit of users are not convenient for me, unless i have to pay more to buy the user slots Review Source BF Bryan F.

It was easy to get approval to add this service due to the affordability. Pros Ability for a small business to keep track of sick/personal leave and allow users to request upcoming time off easily and effectively. Cons The sign in always requires getting an email with a code. I'd like to stay signed in for convenience. Review Source Response from actiTIME March 31, 2025 Bryan, Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback! We're glad to hear that our actiPLANS has been helpful for managing leaves.

The set up of the calendar is really clear and makes it easy to view months at a time. Pros actiPLANS is really easy to use, and provides a good visual of who is taking time off and when. Cons I haven't had any difficulties using actiPLANS. Review Source Response from actiTIME April 2, 2025 Susan, Thanks for the great feedback! We're glad actiPLANS makes it easy to track PTO and plan ahead. HB Holly B. Human Resources Coordinator Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best decision I ever made was to decide to try this product!" January 12, 2022 5.0 Pros With over 200 employees in six different locations throughout the state, this HR department of one would have never been able to keep up with the PTO leave requests without this product. The leave request process is easy and very accessible to the employee, their manager, and to the administrators. The employees can see their own PTO time usage and availability which greatly reduces the call to HR. The reports are extremely useful, especially for payroll purposes. And my favorite feature is that this product keeps up with the employee's anniversary and rollover dates automatically. I don't have to manually reset it or monitor it after the employee's initial set up! Cons I wish the program included additional fields for each user that only administrators could see. It would be great if I could add job titles or departments to help with identifying the users for payroll. It would also be helpful to be able to add notes or comments for the users as well that could be useful to both payroll and HR departments. Review Source Response from actiTIME February 11, 2022 Thank you for your kind words on actiPLANS, we really appreciate that! As for the additional fields, we have passed your request to our product department.

It solve my Timesheet problem and it is affordable and also they have free version for small team so we can easily try the free version and then go for paid version. Pros I like this as it is available on phone so we can easily manage the leave of employees even we can approve the leave with just one click and also it auto calculate the paid time off. It reduce mail and we don't have to maintain excel to track all the employee's leaves. So helps me to keep track of all employee in one place where I can see the details on my phone and also approve the leave on phone. Cons Please provide full HR package so that we can integrate the apps easily. Review Source BC Brenda C. Community Lead Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Replacement of an In-house Time Tracking App" January 12, 2022 4.0 The experience has been very good, replacing an in-house software application with off-the shelf software for an audience of software developers could have been a challenge but it was not. Pros Ease of use and implementation was critical, the capturing of "billable" time and the process of creating client invoices in a timely manner is critical for us. ActiTime allowed us to replace an in-house built system and gave us more flexibility. Cons To be honest there is very little that I don't like, it would be helpful to be able to create "ad hoc" reports and have some fields be date driven. Reason for choosing actiPLANS Value Review Source Response from actiTIME February 11, 2022 Thank you for your review! Feel free to send us some details regarding reports and fields, your feedback helps us improve the product. Deborah R. Principal Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great App for Paid Time Off" June 5, 2018 5.0 Free software that accurately tracks time off and coordinates time off for employees. Pros I have a very east time to request time off and also approve time off. It's clear to see who else is requesting time off at the same time. There are easy features for different kind of time off, which I don't use, as we just offer a bulk paid time off. Also, it's free for my small team, which is wonderful. Cons The software is a little tricky to set up. I had to create and delete users a few times to get everything correct. Once you've added or deleted time for a user you can't delete it, so that got frustrating, as I wanted to start with everything correct in one entry, instead of seeing my corrections to my mistakes. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "actiPLANS made it easy to request time off" March 8, 2018 5.0 Pros I like how well it calculated and kept my paid time off balances up-to-date with automated PTO accruals, balance resets and manual adjustments. Cons There could probably be more functions allowing for personalized messaging and communication between managers and users. Review Source JD Jenny D. Customer Care Manager Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "actiPLANS helps make planning a cinch!" February 7, 2022 5.0 It has been very very positive! I love this solution. Pros I love being able to see colleagues pending/approved PTO so I can ensure that I'm not asking for time off that overlaps someone on the team so we can have proper coverage! It's also very easy to use. Cons I wish that you could edit a request and then resend the request to the approver when desired instead of each small edit generating an email to my supervisor. Review Source Response from actiTIME February 11, 2022 Thank you for your kind words on actiPLANS! AP Andrew P. Operations Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Robust, reliable and effective system" May 17, 2018 4.0 Speeds up our leave management administration. Fast and full visibility for all team of their PTO allowances. Pros actiPLANS is simple to use and has allowed us to manage our team's leave management effectively. The ability for all users to quickly see remaining PTO and request leave at anytime is a real boon. Before actiPLANS, we used a spreadsheet which required manually updating by a member of our team., this has now freed up that time for them to work on more important tasks. Cons Some of our team members work a 9/80 working schedule. I wish actiPlans could accommodate this type of working. At present actiPLANS only allows working on the basis of a fixed amount of hours per working day. Review Source AR Anastasia R. FEA Specialist Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great leave tracking tool for affordable price" May 21, 2018 5.0 Pros Easy to use interface, accurate data and reports. Automatic leave requests and approval really saves great deal of time Cons There isn't much functionality in terms of employee tracking, but we use additional small soft for this purpose Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
