Cons Reports include leavers which is confusing. Can't find a report heading to identify line managers. Switched from [Moorepay](https://www.capterra.com/p/128703/Natural-HR/) We were sold a payroll system, and then an add on of a HR module which didn't actually work Review Source Response from edays Absence Management November 26, 2024 Hi Natasha, Thanks for the review!

July 7, 2025 5.0 Having edays as a tool in our business has made things so much simpler and quicker. One of the best decisions we have made. Pros The simplicity of use for the whole workforce. The layout is great that it is so easy to navigate and administer. Cons There are not a lot of Cons for me. Most of the issues we ran into early on, we only had to tweak our settings to resolve our issues. Review Source Response from edays Absence Management July 11, 2025 Hi Graham, Thank you for the great review!

Human Resources Assistant Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "4 Stars. Good support but could be slightly more user friendly " March 12, 2025 4.0 Good experience overall, but loses a star from some elements being less user friendly. Pros Good support from help desk when help is needed. Easy to view holiday, sickness etc on the calendar (clear presentation.) Cons Using the tools as an administrator can sometimes be complicated and unclear. Some processes are complicated and require help needed from the support desk. For example, adding a day off for birthdays was harder than I had anticipated. Review Source Response from edays Absence Management March 20, 2025 Hi Ellie, Thanks for the review! We're happy to hear you're having a good experience overall and that you're able to get helpful support when needed. Kind regards edays HB Holly B. HR and Recruitment Coordinator Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A positive experience with eDays" March 24, 2025 4.0 Overall the experience has been positive, it is nice now knowing who we can reach out to if we have any questions/problems. The system is easy to use, while allowing us to personalise it in ways that suit our business. Pros Simple to use, when introducing new employees to the system it is very self explanatory which makes it easier for both parties. Since connecting with an account manager, we have found out ways to utilise the system even more e.g. setting up workflows, so the system does work well in my opinion. Cons Sometimes when setting up new joiners, the system does not automatically calculate the holiday they are owed. The only way we have found out is when employees go to book holiday and it says they are entitles to zero days. We still have not found the solution for this, so there is some manual work still needed but luckily it doesn't happen with every employee. Review Source Response from edays Absence Management April 4, 2025 Hi Holly, Thanks for the review! We're glad it's nice and simple for enrolling new employees, and that your account manager has been able to help you with making the most of your system. Kind regards edays HT Hollie T. European HR Advisor Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great system, fab support team!" March 19, 2025 5.0 I have always found them extremely helpful and willing to engage with us to make using the platform easier. The platform is intuitive and works well for us - especially as we have employees across the globe. Employees find this easy to use and there's lots of useful functionality with reporting, being able to proxy as a user and many other things! Pros The ease of use, and how helpful the support team are with any and all queries! Cons Nothing jumps out - the only struggles I have are from being new to using the system and still finding my way around!

The E days system is highly valued across our business. Pros Ease of introduction of the system and ease of use for both employees, managers and administrators. The strong user interface means that it is viewed as a strong business aid for both employees and managers rather than a burden.

HR Support Specialist Wine and Spirits Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "E-Days Review- first three months" June 27, 2023 4.0 It is easier to track absences, not just for a particular employee, but for the entire population. We're able to see how many planned absences will occur, so we can put measures into place, employees are able to book time offs and await approvals. It has definitely saved time. Pros \- It is user friendly and the support portal is very efficient and effective, and the support team works to fulfill ticket requests in a very short time so as to prevent any consequences from occurring.- Reports are extremely easy to pull and aid in the decision making process. Cons Entitlements feature wasn't the easiest to navigate once an employee was already added. However, support as previously mentioned, support is readily available.

Administration Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Our Experience with E-Days" September 19, 2023 5.0 Great experience and customer service has always been good and they offer lots of resources should you need them. Pros Easy to use and set up. Has good visuals and you can get an overview of absence and planned absence easily, which helps for staff planning. Cons The reports require a bit of user manipulation to get them where you want them to be, that said this isn't difficult to do.

HR Manager Legal Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great absence management tool" May 1, 2024 5.0 I use this daily to manage staff absences. It is very easy and quick to use from both an employee and management perspective. Pros Easy to use for employee and employers Now better there is an app also to use Quick to use and navigates quickly between pages Cons That it doesn't go back through the years like the old system used to- you can only view last year, current year and next year.

HR Business Partner Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My user experience wiht Edays" September 19, 2022 4.0 As an HR Business Partner, I am having a positive experience with edays so far. I comply with our legal obligations. It gives me and all our employees a better visibility on our absences and more autonomy to plan our holidays. Using edays has improved data quality for HR and Payroll. It is now much easier to move from one holiday period to another. Pros Edays is a flexible and a user-friendly application. What I like with Edays is the ability to adjust to a local legal obligation. I appreciate calendar and the holiday balances in real time. This feature gives our employees more visibility and autonomy to manage their absences. The Customer service is available and very reactive. Cons I do not see major cons. The challenge would be to create an interface with our HR Management System. Review Source Response from edays Absence Management October 17, 2022 Hi Jean Louis, Thank you for such a glowing and detailed review of our software! We're delighted to hear that the switch to edays improved flexibility and visibility for you and your team, and that it's helped you to better manage absences. Kind regards edays TH Tanya H. HR ADMIN Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great system " September 19, 2022 5.0 Pros I really like the system, super easy to use and think that everything is tidy.

HRIS Project Manager Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "From an admin perspective" March 6, 2020 4.0 Great support! The system requires a lot of monitoring as things often change or appears suddenly in our portal. It is very time consuming as we need to contact support every time. I believe that instructions on the fundamental admin features and settings/permissions where lacking completely in the implementation phase. We have tried "closed the gaps" along the way as we have no knowledge about how to ensure that the different countries settings are completely kept separate from each other. But I still believe that it is not 100% correct yet. Pros Very easy to use and covers most features needed Cons It creates a lot of issues when a group of different companies in different countries share the same portal/platform as the different local settings very frequently impacts other settings in the system. E.g. when a setting on the German template is changed, something suddenly changes on the Danish settings e.g. the German absence types appear on Danish users dashboard.

Cons Occasional long loading times when submitting leave and the loading of the group calendar when trying to view all users calendar for the month.
