Sales Director Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WhosOff makes it so much easier for me to do my job" November 30, 2017 5.0 WhosOff saves me time which means I can do all the really important things and don't have to worry about checking calendars to see whose available for meetings. Pros I like the fact that you can see, at a glance, where everyone in your company is at any given time. This is great when I'm planning meetings - it means I can schedule the right date and know that everyone will be available. Review Source RK Richard K. Co founder Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good for basic staff time off management " December 10, 2024 4.0 It was good, it's priced fairly and I would use again however we chose to utilise a competitor Calamari (simply due to slack integrations which were not available on Whosoff at the time) Pros Simple to use for simply the management of staff time off. Cons The additional features weren't really that easy to use or as useful as they could be Alternatives considered [Calamari](https://www.capterra.com/p/141217/Calamari/) Reason for choosing WhosOff I didn't, we switched from Whosoff to calamari Review Source VR Verified Reviewer HR Associate Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WhosOff Review" September 12, 2018 3.0 In overall, the biggest problem, when having two accounts for different regions, with the sofware is that you can´t create an employee within two account. Therefore, if your team is regionally expanded and your reporting lines are in the two different account you won´t be able to approve some of your employees leaves. Pros The best thing of this software is that it is really user friendly. As a user, you can find all the information needed on the first page. Cons This sofware lacks of flexibility and features for big companies. It does not allow combining data of two different accounts without losing information. Review Source WT Wasek T. IT Support Supervisor Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, easy and effect annual leave managment" July 17, 2025 5.0 It has been a benefit to the company. If the day is available to book then it can be dine in a smooth process (based on policy configured that suits the company). It gives a clear view of how many days left to book and past leave taken. Pros WhosOff users interface and layout are its strongest point. Seeing who in the company/department makes it easy to plan annual leave without any awkward conversations. Auto approve feature is another superb benefit. Cons There is not integration with my calendar at the moment. Only way to view annual leave and who else is off is to login to website.

Pros Ease of use, Intuitive, allows booking holiday in no time. Alerts are great and ability to cancel approved holidays is great as well. Cons Rarely while booking half days I've had issues with selecting the correct dates. Review Source JH Janet H. HR E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Customer Service!" January 31, 2024 5.0 Pros Absolutely amazing customer service. \[sensitive content hidden\] is so attentive and friendly and it makes all the difference! Cons There are no cons for us, we have found the system to offer exactly what we need Review Source Laurie G. Head of Marketing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Poor user experience detracts from a decent toolset." July 24, 2018 3.0 It handles the holiday planning for my department, but is time ineffective and often frustrating. The rules set are deep, but require close administration to implement successfully. Pros The dashboard function is clear and gives a strong departmental over-view of currently planned leave. The ability to define dependency groups allows us to manage resource more effectively. Cons Attempting to access the platform via iPhone results in an infinite redirect and the page is only accessible when you request the site as a Desktop. This makes it very frustrating to use the tool whilst on the go. The 'manage my staff' function is difficult and clunky to utilise and isn't very clear. Review Source Steven M. Operations Support Specialist Financial Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Helpful to keep track of staff" October 14, 2019 5.0 We moved from a Microsoft Environment to another Environment. Not that it was easy to keep track of people on the MS Environment but we had it work. In our new Environment we did not have time to put together a work-around, so we found WhosOff. WhosOff provides exactly what we need to let people know when people are off without email chains. Pros We are using just the Leave Requests portion so our teams can know who is off and when without having to review an email chain. It is working well and providing the visibility we were looking for. Cons The software is simplistic so do not expect too much. That said our complicated software could not do this in a manner that was easy to use and easy to see by all employees. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Entrepeneur | Sales consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy to use and good for its purpose" September 24, 2020 4.0 This is a good solution for companies or teams for registering overtime and managing vacations. Pros It's quite easy to register overtime, schedule vacations and to have a good overview on who is/will be off in your team. Cons When registering overtime you have to scroll all the way down your previously registered overtime, which can be quite boring. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Field Service Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Used for our company" December 12, 2018 5.0 Ease the burden of Holiday admin with this program, it works well. The only downside is intregration with calendars in outlook etc could be better! Pros Less paper is surely better right? This app helps out our company by easing the admin burden of staff booking holidays. With Supervisiors in charge of holidays per department, when a request is submitted by an employee an e-mail is sent to them who in turn can review the dashboard of the team and then approve or decline. Cons What would be better, is integration with outlook and other calendar providers. Review Source Response from X:drive Computing December 18, 2018 Hi, Many thanks for leaving your review. Just to let you know you can create and subscribe to a calendar feed from WhosOff. If you need any help please let us know, support@whosoff.com GM Gaynor M. HR Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WhosOff for a small company" November 23, 2021 4.0 Our experience of the system meant we could introduce new absence management methodologies as the company grew from 25 to 140 employees. Managers were able to be trained and educated on the use of the system quickly. Pros From a start up position to a medium sized business, the system offers both the employee and manager the ability to manage an employee's absence with ease, whilst being able to run useful reports. The system is good value. Cons Nothing really, we simply outgrew the system. Reason for choosing WhosOff The system met the needs of the business at that time. Review Source GB Garrett B. Director of Operations Packaging and Containers Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for SMB" November 14, 2022 4.0 This application has simplified our leave tracking for a relatively cheap per user fee. Pros Its very easy to deploy, add new employees and remove when needed. The calendar view is clean and can be accessed outside of the website via embedded content or calendar feeds. the email notifications are helpful when you need to approve staff's days off. Cons There are a lot of ways to do the same thing, and sometimes it takes a while to find the right way. Example submitting a sick day for an employee you manage is easy, but submitting vacation time for them on their behalf is very complicated. We have to manually move the days off into our payroll software. Review Source AJ Ahijah J. Program Manager Logistics and Supply Chain Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "WhosOff" November 20, 2022 5.0 Pros Very easy to use, no instruction necessary. My favorite feature is being able to see the schedules for not only your own department, but others as well. Cons Not being able to cancel your time off request once approved. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Database Marketing Analyst at eBay (AWF) Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use" June 22, 2018 5.0 It's very to easy to file my leaves, saves time. Pros I'm using this tool whenever I need to file my leave or overtime work. It has a very easy to use interface so it doesnt require further help to navigate the features. I cannot answer the value for money since I only an end user. Cons Nothing in particular, so far it meets my needs. Maybe the design, it's quite boring, but it doesn't affect the functionality in any means. Review Source SG Solana G. HR Lead Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for the value" February 10, 2022 3.0 Pros The support team responds in a timely manner Integrates with google calendar Cons It's a bit clunky but it does its job Review Source LY Lauren Y. HR Coordinator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Clean easy system, great for small-medium workforces " May 21, 2018 5.0 Pros Incredibly easy to use, both for front end users as we as administration. Reporting is very easy with lots the ability to view online as well as export. Cons The bigger the business, the harder it is the facilitate part time workers. You lose historical data past one year Review Source Response from X:drive Computing May 29, 2018 Hi Lauren Thanks for the feedback. (You can view any historical data from the reports section when you need to) Adam G. Operations Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very impressed and gives transparency to whole company" November 13, 2017 5.0 Pros I like how everyone in the company can easily see who is off on a certain day (if their permissions allow them). Cons There should be a feature to edit a holiday already booked rather than having to cancel and rebook it again. Review Source PW Paul W. Director Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic Platform & Support" October 16, 2018 5.0 Pros Great system, easy to use. Has changed our holiday and day off system for the better. Cons There is nothing not to like about the WhosOff its a fantastic system. There is always an answer from the support team and its alays YES. What ever you ask of them is always possible. Review Source Jenny S. Sales & Marketing Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best holiday calendar for work!" November 16, 2017 5.0 Pros I like how it has an app so i can book holidays when im at home and dont have to wait until i get into work. I like that you can put in a description, so you can look back to see why you took that day off. I like that you can see when people are off, helps to forecast resources. Review Source DC David C. QA Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Holiday approval software" December 4, 2017 5.0 Pros Easy to book holidays Able to view holidays of other staff Organise staff by department when viewing holidays Simple approval system avoids use of email to approve holidays Cons There's not much to dislike as its a simple concept and it currently all features required to book, approve and manage holidays Review Source SC Sarah C. HR Administrator Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "I use WhosOff daily as an administrator" June 4, 2018 5.0 Pros I like that WhosOff is very easily accessible, clearly laid out and very easy to navigate and function. It is clear to see whos off as an employee and submit leave for employees as an administrator. Cons I would like reporting function be easier and more visible, as well as the ability to turn of email notifications for certain employees whilst making changes instead of the organisation as a whole. Review Source SS Shoaib S. People & Culture Officer Financial Services Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Not so easy on the eyes." June 18, 2019 4.0 Pros It is packed with many features made with a sole focus of just to see whose in and whose off. Basic! Customer Service is top notch! Cons Basic! The interface when compared to other similar solutions is not eye catching. Its a bit black & white. (Too Basic) It lacks customization, for example when i was looking to purchase a product for leave management, i wanted a software where i could add multiple leave approves in a specific order, which wasn't possible in WhosOff.

Product Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Tracking who's off" December 4, 2019 3.0 We used who's off in the past but have not transitioned to a competing product. It did solve the job for us, but overall user experience feels clumpsy and old. Pros I guess it solved the job of allowing me to see which employees that are off and when, and report my own off time, but overall it feels like an application developed 10 years ago and just in maintain mode now. Cons It wasn't really a great experience to use their mobile app for iOS. Not being part of HR team I was only a consumer of their mobile app so I dont know about their other offering or the experience of using the tool as an administrator. Review Source IC Israel C. Marketing E-Learning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Really good at tracking WhosOff" October 6, 2022 4.0 I was pleased with Whosoff, but when an \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] joined the company, she decided to move to HR Locker. I still think that whosoff was better for tracking time off requests. Pros The software is simple and extremely functional. As the company grew we needed to start tracking who is taking time off and when. WhosOff was a perfect fit for this. Cons I felt that the software is perfect for small companies but it might not size well when more features are required. Reason for choosing WhosOff WhosOff looked so simple and with a simple price structure that I signed up for the free trial and didn't try any other service. Review Source RK Rob K.
