### "Mixed response"

September 2, 2024

5.0

My overall user experience with leave dates is satisfactory.

### "EAsy to use by staff and admin"

June 25, 2024

5.0

It's allowed us to take control of our leave, and gives a visible calendar for each relevant department to plan leave. Support when needed has usually been same day and efficiently resolved.

Pros

Easy to use, staff can't lose physical leave cards, and it's impossible for them to retrospectively cancel leave. Also good to be able to tailor to departments and ad own 'leave types' including for long service, etc etc.

Cons

Inability to change email addresses when a staff member needs to- this needs to be done by Leave Dates

### "LeaveDates Review"

June 11, 2024

5.0

Pros

Easy to set up, use, add and remove staff. Good for managing leave and helpful features like the option to automatically carry over days

Cons

I dont really have any complaints, as a user it does everything I need it to do

Switched from

[Rapport3](https://www.capterra.com/p/144126/Rapport3/)

we were switching systems anyway as Rapport3 was not easy to get along with. In doing so, we needed a new way to manage leave with was cheap and easy to use

### "Easy to operate time management system"

July 15, 2024

5.0

Overall experience is good. Also in comparison with few other products of the same type.

Pros

"Easy of use" is the most important characteristics of Leave Dates. Variety of features would be of limited use if hidden behind a cascade of menu options. This is not the case.

Cons

One problem was quite evident - if you enter your absence during the time in the past (can happen, if you back fill your time later), you can not edit it anymore - for instance, you can not move it to another day of you by mistake recorded your time under a wrong date. In my opinion this is a bug and should be corrected.

July 10, 2024

5.0

As mentioned before, I like the simplicity.

Pros

Convenient calendar view. Simplicity to put your vacations and absence time.

Cons

I don't have any cons, but, I am minimally using Leave Dates to manage vacations and absence time and I like that feature.

### "A business must have"

April 22, 2024

5.0

I have never had any issues with leave dates, it is easy to use, easy to set new employees up and we can make changes when needed from the back office. A feature that has been great for us is making separate teams of our divisions, this allows us to see more easily who is off from which team and where any short falls are. Leave dates is great, we couldn't be without it. I have worked at places before where they used pen and paper for tracking leave! This seems so ancient when there are systems like this.

Pros

The user-friendliness of leave dates is fantastic. The user, at a glance is able to see how much leave they have used/booked/taken. They can also see their teams which means they are not overlapping leave at important times of the year to us. The app is also great, employees can have this on their personal phones and can book leave from home, without needing their work laptop.

Cons

NA - I don't have any negative feedback for leave dates - it is a great product.

### "Does What it Says on the Tin!"

April 23, 2024

5.0

It does everything you need it to in a simple and direct way. Requires basically no training so my colleagues and I managed to start using to book holiday immediately, and you always know when it's been approved. It also displays birthdays and work anniversaries, which is a nice touch and make's it easy to avoid the mistake of forgetting a colleague's birthday.

Pros

It has a very simple and intuitive UI, it's easy to navigate and find where you want to go. It's not the most complex system, but it allows you to book leave, see everyone's planned absences so you can coordinate, and track sick days.

Cons

The tutorial/tour notification keeps popping up every time I login. Not really in issue, but slightly irritating. Doesn't detract from the overall experience though.

Hey Benjamin! Thanks for your fabulous review. We're always very pleased to know that Leave Dates is as user friendly as we intend. I am very interested read that you have a tour notification repeating on you. I haven't seen this issue before, but it might just be a browser setting, so I suspect we can fix this with you very easily. If you have a moment, would you mind raising a support case via the URL I'll list below and we'll get that sorted. https://help.leavedates.com/hc/en-us/requests/new Kindest, Che

### "Great system for a small company for managing holidays etc"

April 29, 2024

5.0

Value for money, easy and simple but looks professional. The app is handy too.

Pros

The wall chart is excellent for looking at the office as a whole. It helps to pro-rata holiday entitlements. Very easy and simple to use

Cons

There not being a 2 tier approval for holidays. In the past we had a system whereby the line manager gave their approval and then the office manager looked at the office as a whole so that there wasn't too many people off at the same time.

### "Best System we have used"

April 24, 2024

5.0

We have used other leave systems in the past and switched to leavedates at the end of last year. This system covers all the functionality of the others we have used and more especially with the mobile app at an even better price

Pros

We have used other leave systems in the past but this covers all the functionality of these and more at an even better price

Cons

If administrators/managers could log sickness via the app for others this would be an advantage, by no means a deal breaker ut just another service to help functionality

Switched from

[AnnualLeave](https://www.capterra.com/p/276446/AnnualLeave-com/)

Price and software functionality for what we was getting for our money

### "A Great Asset To Us as a Small Company"

May 20, 2024

5.0

It’s brilliant, I’m delighted I found it

Pros

Leave dates is very easy to setup and use both as an employer and employer. We are a small Company and we found other programs/apps we looked at were too complicated for us

Cons

To be honest there is nothing I dislike. It beats our old spreadsheet hands down

May 21, 2024

5.0

Overall, a really easy, user-friendly system which reduces the admin burden of sorting annual leave

Pros

Leave Dates makes it really easy as a team leader to know who is in the office and when, and to minimise the time and admin cost of figuring out everybody's leave allowances etc. Equally, as somebody being managed, it makes it much more straightforward to request leave and to track my own annual leave

Cons

Logging Time of in Lieu is not entirely obvious!

Pros

Leave Dates does exactly what it's namesake says. It's a lightweight and easy to use platform to help track my team's leave, and show their availability to all members.
