Pourquoi choisir Vacation Tracker 

Management problem, we did not know who was in the office or working remotely, we had to ask everyone one by one.

Pourquoi passer à Vacation Tracker

Mainly because it is integrated with Slack.

Avantages

The ability to reset time off on individual anniversary dates vs. end of year. Also the ease of use for end users, combined with the accurate tracking of time off.

Inconvénients

It would be nice if I could auto-generate a custom report with a certain timeframe, but the reporting function is easy enough to quickly run a report for payroll.

Avantages

Vacation Tracker makes it easy for me to manage employees time off requests. The calendar view of all upcoming leaves helps us to forecast how we need to shift work to accommodate for employee time off. We have a unique offering of vacation days so we are happy that vacation tracker allows you to customize per user.

Inconvénients

I entered a new employee into the system and chose to prorate their PTO, unfortuantely I did not mean to select that and when I tried to change it back I was unable to. Thankfully, [sensitive content hidden] at customer service was able to solve my issue in a timely manner with great customer service.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

That it can tie into MS/TEAMS CalendersSends permission for days to be approved

Inconvénients

Does not allow for birthdays & anniversary datesDoes not send people notifications on how many days they have leftDoes not send notifications on day or days a person is out It puts "Paid time off South Carolina" on the MS Outlook calendar, which takes out too much room!

Avantages

I found it very easy to set up Vacation Tracker for our remote team! Since we work from three different locations, this tool has been of great help. It allowed us to completely eliminate spreadsheets and automate our time off management. Highly recommend!

Inconvénients

I have no complaints, the support team has been incredibly helpful whenever we had any questions.

Vacation Tracker has the best Slack integration! After the initial setup, there's no more need to go to the dashboard because everything is right there in Slack.

Avantages

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!

Inconvénients

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

Pourquoi choisir Vacation Tracker 

Tracking everything manually on paper and Excel was too time-consuming. We needed something to speed up our leave management process.

Pourquoi passer à Vacation Tracker

The integrations provided by Vacation Tracker were a determining factor, especially on Microsoft Teams.

Avantages

Ease of use. There was not much training involved to get things going.

Inconvénients

Customer support is not based in the US so can't easily call someone for tech support.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

I absolutely loved Vacation Tracker! Its simplicity is a game-changer. Easy to use and implement, making tracking vacations a breeze.

Inconvénients

I disliked the inability to delete existing users on Vacation Tracker; the only option available is to mark them as "inactive."

Avantages

Vacation Tracker has excellent integration with Slack and Google Calendar, with most leave requests and approvals done through Slack. The support team is extremely responsive and has been able to quickly solve any questions or issues we had with the app. The app itself is very easy to navigate and mostly self-explanatory. The leave policies, locations and approval flow are quite customisable and extremely user friendly. The leave accrual functionality has been a fantastic addition, and allowances can be adjusted by individual.

Inconvénients

Could us more flexibility in leave policies, for example ability to submit requests retroactively

Timetastic

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Pourquoi choisir Vacation Tracker 

Our partners have recommended us to use Vacation Tracker, so we tried and we liked it.

Pourquoi passer à Vacation Tracker

Although we use Vacation Tracker less than 6 months we like it so far.

Avantages

We love using Vacation Tracker because it was super easy to deploy across our full team, and the best part is that it integrates right into Slack. This is a big deal since we all spend most of our day with Slack open, so not having to worry about another app or website is nice. We also love the ability to create custom types of time off, since our company has many different categories of time off that all have different allotments.

Inconvénients

My only complaint would be that I wish the Vacation Tracker website was a little bit more robust. Sometimes I find it a little TOO simple. However, I think it's a double edged sword because I really do love the simplicity of its layout.

Avantages

It’s really easy to use, it took our team a week to get used to it. We love the Slack integration and the notifications, they keep our whole team up to date on upcoming leaves. We also really like how you can organize your company into teams with their own notifications and calendar feeds since our team has multiple offices across the world.

Inconvénients

The only thing we’d like to see added to Vacation Tracker is the ability to block our team from being able to request leaves on certain dates. We sometimes have critical deadlines and we don’t allow people to take time off right before the deadlines. It takes us some time to manage this manually so it would be neat to have a feature allowing us to do this automatically.

Avantages

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!

Inconvénients

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.

Pourquoi passer à Vacation Tracker

Had everything that we needed and not stuff that we didn't.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

The GUI - needs to be able to set an alert that relates to company policy. e.g. if an employee applies for 3 weeks leave, but the company policy is 2 weeks leave, they should not be allowed to submit the application

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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!

Pourquoi passer à Vacation Tracker

No one knew what their PTO quota was or any upcoming leaves when we were using spreadsheets. We have better clarity about leave management in our company now.

Avantages

The Platform is very user-friendly and i love that i can make adjustments on behalf of clients.

Inconvénients

Maybe clocking in options for hourly employees or an attendance tracker . Also wish it can be integrated into our internal HRIS system or payroll system

Avantages

Tracker is extremely user friendly and constantly updates new features. Support is extremely amazing and responsive.

Inconvénients

When we first started with VT, certain features were not available

Avantages

This may be the first unprompted review I have ever left. I googled and found this solutions swiftly. It solved a very simple but complex global vacation and national leave challenge we had that has been crucial to our culture. Managed everything through the UX. Just generally a happy and impressed customer

Inconvénients

It would have been mildly helpful if it could have imported more international vacation days by region, or even ranked them In terms of adoption

Avantages

It changes fast, new features are coming in and the team is really helpful about any of our question.

Inconvénients

I'm not always receiving notification when a new, probably really useful features appears.

Avantages

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.

Inconvénients

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.

Avantages

It's easy to use and implement, it can be customized to multiple team needs and requirements where others tools had failed me

Inconvénients

It's rather expensive for what it does, we're currently looking to develop a similar app internally since the functionality, while effective, is not particularly sophisticated, at a lower price points we might've considered using this as a permanent solution

Avantages

I like the ease of use, and how easy it is to get help when something is going wrong!

Inconvénients

No Cons so far. It wasn't syncing with my connected product Slack, but that's been fixed

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

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.
