### "Works for our small team & great service! "

June 1, 2022

5.0

Great customer service!

Pros

It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles like other vacation tracking/HR software so you pay for what you really need. Love the customer service!

Cons

Initial set up is easy but it would be even better if there was an automated flow to the set up instead of me picking and choosing the areas to set up. It would be great to customize even further - being able to upload our company policy on the platform would be great. The ability to pick different times and not be restricted to a full or half day would be good too. Sometimes people want to sign off a couple of hours early but you can't indicate that on here.

Thank you Anna, we really appreciate you taking the time to give us a review! We will definitely take your feedback into consideration (to work on the on-boarding and other improvements). Just to let you know, we did release the hourly intervals feature, available in our Complete plan. This feature does allow you to take less than a half a day of leave! Thank you once again! :)

### "Head of CS uses Vacation Tracker for team PTO and OOO tracking"

December 14, 2023

5.0

Pros

Setup can be done by any teammate and grouped by team cohorts, including regional teams and specialties within the org.

Cons

Outside of calendar view, there aren't as any ease options for the team individuals to see their own upcoming PTO dates grouped together - "what days am I already planning on being on PTO?"

### "A great tool that you can very easily integrate into your organisation to solve a painful problem"

July 12, 2022

5.0

A really nice tool that is simple and tracks something that would otherwise be a big pain to track. One of th better Slack applications.

Pros

It is easy to use and setup. It is also extremely easy to apply for leave and to check how much you have left. Everything is tracked. It is also great that it is announced who is on leave, so that people understand this.

Cons

The only real thing I didn't like was that you cannot retrospectively add in leave, once you take the leave without tracking it in Vacation tracker, you can't put it in again. Customer support assured me that this would be the case in the future though.

### "Great product, easy to use"

October 21, 2019

5.0

Vacation tracker enables our team to manage the entire time-off requisition and tracking process remotely. The dashboards are very convenient for managerial and payroll staff to see at a glance the resource staffing in calendar format. Highly recommend.

Pros

It is very easy to use, and created with the user in mind. Receiving the reminders weekly (of who have planned time off), and the calendar aspect of the dashboard makes the resource management very convenient.

Cons

nothing really. The development team have been very helpful in adjusting my concerns as they came up, and the software is very (non-tech) user friendly.

### "Simple and easy to use"

October 31, 2019

5.0

Our overall experience with Vacation Tracker is great. The team is daily informed about each others absence.

Pros

It's synchronized with Slack and keeps our team organized and up to date on upcoming leaves. It's simple and easy to use, it enable us to successfully manage our time off.

Cons

There are no significant cons, except the functionalities which could be improved. We're missing basic features , like editing previously accpeted or made absences. Also, it would be good to have role like manager, that would manage people, instead of giving admin access to enable specific managing permissions. Competitive companies created much more functional softwares in this department.

5.0

Pros

Its integration with Slack. The easy with which people can make applications

June 23, 2023

5.0

It was very easy to get used to the software. Onboarding and importing our users was very quick.

Pros

Everything is accessible from our Teams workspace, which is a huge advantage. I can request leaves through the bot and access all leave-related information without logging into another site. Plus, the customer support team is super friendly and always here to help!

Cons

While there are no major drawbacks, there are certain functionalities that could be enhanced for improved usability.

### "Easiest Vacation Tracker I've ever used!"

November 8, 2023

5.0

Pros

Vacation Tracker was incredible easy to implement and it does its job very well. The interface is simple, but effective. And the platform allows for just the right amount of customization. It's integrations with Slack make sharing information super simple.

Cons

I wish there were some deeper customization options around setting company holidays. Creating team and approver hierarchies can also be a bit confusing if your company isn't very clearly vertical.

### "Basic Leave Tracking"

September 12, 2021

3.0

I wish it had more options for customizing messages to users when submitting leave. It is easy for users to submit and cancel leave. It is limited on intuitiveness for time accrual.

Pros

Easy to set up and use. Integrates well with Teams. Does not take much training for employees to use. Customize leave types, assign roles, designate rules for different locations. Pricing is more flexible for small businesses that have a varying number of users.

Cons

Limited functionality. Employees can either take off full days or half days, they cannot designate exact hours. No accrual tracking based upon hours worked. No option for a custom message for employees to read and agree to and no option for employees to designate a cover person.

Pros

Ease of use and interface. Easy to set and make amends to the settings. The real-time visibility streamlines communication and resource allocation.

Cons

User profile and editing of leave balances of each user. Department settings will have you include the names of managers since the entire department leave gets approved by a manager.

### "Vacation Tracker is great!"

February 6, 2024

5.0

Very easy to set up, import users, add in vacation allowances. I was set up within a few days.

Pros

Teams integration was key for us, quick and easy to download for all staff and support answer very quickly with whatever I need.

Cons

That some of the key features like calendar integration is part of the more expensive package, that seems like a basic need. I asked support prior to purchasing and they said it was possible but didn't mention the highest subscription.

Reason for choosing Vacation Tracker

The teams integration was very important and the pricing was competitive.

Overall product is great for our use of tracking PTO. Easy to setup and use. I was pleasantly surprised with the live webinars to show functionality and updates. When needed, support has been quick and helpful.

Pros

System is intuitive to not only setup but also for employee's to use. Also visually simple and not complex. The easiest Outlook calendar integration that we tested!

Cons

Some additional customizations could be nice, such as having a variety of set PTO banks that I could assign to eligible employees and having comment section to note why additional days may be added.

### "Best implementation of this year for our company!"

November 30, 2021

5.0

We LOVE Vacation Tracker. We went from a single person tracking PTO on a spreadsheet to a completely transparent, user friendly portal. My employees were constantly asking how many days they had left and we were using paper request and payroll forms. Changes were a huge hassle. Now, they can send a chat message to request days off, see how many days they have left and can make adjustments easily. Any request are sent to managers in a chat and they can approve/deny instantly and payroll can easily access weekly reports to stay up to date. It seems like a simple thing, PTO tracking, but when it's done well like this, the experience for the entire company is so much better!

Pros

Completely paperless, easy to set up and get implemented. Employees love having visibility to their PTO and easily requesting PTO. Customer support is AMAZING!

Cons

We have a graduated yearly accrual (the longer you are here, the more days you earn) and it isn't quite set up for that yet so we update annually on anniversary dates. I wish the calendar integrated into the Teams calendar.

Nothing for now. Highly recommend it!

Pros

We've been using VacationTracker for a couple of months now and we're really happy with it!

Cons

Honestly, tracking vacations, sick leaves and remote days for 200 people became a pretty bothersome process at one point, and all of the other HR tools looked super unorganized and had features we saw no use for. But once we integrated VacationTracker, the whole hassle of requesting and approving days off became a streamlined process that ran on autopilot. That is such a relief!

Leaving Excel behind has been a blessing and Vacation Tracker greatly helped us transition. We're happy we made the switch.

Pros

We loved how quick it was to get set up after demoing the product. Our team uses Vacation Tracker on Slack, and our favorite feature is how requesting and approving leaves only takes a few minutes. Everything else on Slack has also been great so far.

Cons

We weren't able to figure out how to schedule Reports on the online Dashboard but their Customer Support team helped us out with it!

August 26, 2022

5.0

Pros

We use mostly Vacation Tracker to track our leaves. It has been doing the job perfectly and the onboarding as been very easy. Notably, the support is excellent and has provided excellent solutions to help us implement the solution.

Cons

We initially started with the Google Integration, realizing later that the Slack integration was better for us. Unfortunately there is no simple way to to switch from one integration to another which resulted into deleting our account and recreating it using the Slack integration. This also meant importing again all our employees and leaves.

Reason for choosing Vacation Tracker

We chose Vacation Tracker over alternative products due to the ease of use, the integration and the price.
