It could not have been better. The Customer success Manager \[sensitive content hidden\] was on hand and so helpful and responsive. Training with Raj was simple and effective.

Educator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Every company should have a system like this" August 19, 2022 5.0 Pros Even though I’m self employed the company that I work for needs to keep track of my absences so I use edays. It’s very used to see the whole year and get to have a clear picture of everyone’s holidays so no one clashes with each other. Cons Edays doesn’t let you book holidays with less than 14 days notice - I think. But that’s actually a great idea so the companies have time to find cover Review Source Response from edays Absence Management August 23, 2022 Hi Vanessa, thank you for your review! We are glad that you enjoy using edays! The good news is that it sounds like you just need to amend one of your settings to improve your experience with edays!

Team Manager Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great asset for companies " August 18, 2022 5.0 Pros The fact that you can split up your company into teams and filter the absences. You can also filter through many different type of absences, such as annual leave, extra holidays, unpaid or sick days etc. requests go through but only approved by management and you can get a clear picture of the entire company. Cons I haven’t found an app to this software yet but it would really be helpful if there was as it makes processes easier.

Pros It is a great tool for keeping track of all absences and attendance in one place. We use it for recording, monitoring and reporting. All staff use it no matter what their role is.

Would recommend for any business solely looking to track all absences, WFH and those who have multi-sites. Pros The system has a lot of built in features and add ons that can be added and customised by the user as and when needed. Cons The way in which to 'switch on' certain features isn't always done in the most obvious way, which is made up for by \[sensitive content hidden\] who will always give speedy responses to help out with functionalities Reason for choosing edays Unfortunately I was not with the business when the product was chosen, so cannot comment.

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 If the alternative authoriser to the primary authoriser could also get email notifications when someone puts in a holiday request that would be perfect for when my manager is away.

Have implemented and used many other more intuitive and better performing systems. Pros In principal the features are easy to use Cons In principal the features are easy to use and seem relatively straightforward, however when you try to use or change any of its functionality in practice, it never works correctly.

I use e-days continuously throughout my working day and find that I gain more confidence the more I use it with the added support of the e-days team. Pros e-days gives accurate accounts of daily/weekly/annually of staff absence, whether planned or unplanned. It allows me as an Administrator the ability to add and/or remove information appropriately associated with our company. If there are any issues or users are unsure of entries or procedures, I can amend or support with ease. The Support team is always at hand by phone or email and has been an excellent service to me personally, adding greater confidence with the software and my daily usage. Cons Entering/amend new staff can be quite time consuming. Review Source Similar Products Featured
