Fantastic! Completely changed/streamlined our processes. Professional and friendly, couldn't ask for more!

How EDays listened to us and worked with us to provide us with the best system for our needs. The ease of the system, the training EDays provided was spot on, it has worked so well for our business.

Cons

We have yet to come across something on EDays that doesn't work well for us.

### "Best decision we have made."

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.

### "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.

### "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.

### "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!

March 27, 2025

5.0

Overall, edays has transformed the way we manage employee leave. It’s user-friendly once you get the hang of it and saves a lot of time.

Pros

The ability to track everything from sickness to holidays in one system is incredibly efficient.

Cons

It has many options to explore, so it takes a long time to master.

It has been a great experience and I'm capable of fixing, modifying and building the timekeeping system on my own with barely any restrictions

Pros

They are very responsive and fast with ticket response. They also provide clear instructions to fix it yourself which helps you learn the system better

### "Review on Edays "

August 12, 2024

4.0

Very pleased with the usage of the platform during the year. I also liked the quick replies to my questions and concerns. But I am very displeased with contract renewal policies. Edays is not customer-oriented.

Pros

User-Friendly Interface Mobile Accessibility Customizable Absence Types

Cons

1\. The interface is user-friendly but it would be good to have a separate field where managers would see pending approvals, not in the Ring notification tab which is very small and almost invisible and contains other notifictions as well. 2. No possibility to export the leaves as an excel file.

February 21, 2024

5.0

Our overall experience with EDays is that it is a really easy system to use not only from a management perspective but also from a user perspective. The help given by \[sensitive content hidden\] and her team has been most appreciated.

Pros

When we needed help the most due to being let down by another software company EDays stepped up to the plate. \[sensitive content hidden\] our Customer Success Manager and her team's assistance was critical to Vacgen not loosing valuable data and also keep a great product available to all our staff.

Cons

The setting up of rotas and initially not having the ability to make manual changes to holiday allowances when an employee leaves.

September 19, 2023

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.

It is simple to use for both administrators, authorisers and employeesIt is hard to imagine not using it ... it's a great package

Pros

Setting up the spreadsheet for the data upload was straight forward and a "once only" taskYou then have all relevant information in one place

Cons

I would like support to be immediate, but who doesn't want thatHowever, you can mark it up from critical (system issues) to not so critical, and they do have a number of training seminars that you can access later and FAQ's

May 1, 2024

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.

### "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.

### "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.
