Calamari Reviews & Product Details - Page 2

Calamari makes it super simple to count the days you'll be off work. Whether you are sick, taking a vacation, or something else, their system helps you in a few steps to get it done and approved by your supervisor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't dislike anything about Calamari. I've been using it as a supervisor and with my own boss. It works great both ways. It's very simple to use it and it doesn't take much time like other similar softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This is a no brainer - the simplicity of it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some important features, like shift work schedule, would be good to have Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Straightforward interface. Clean and easy to operate. Emails are beneficial. The calendar also is valuable and easy to read Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The request absence does not allow you to add custom hour for a less than a day leave Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vacation allotments, booking, changing and reviewing dates of myself and colleagues was easy to use and explain to others. Clean simple interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Didn't use all of the features as a user so there was not a ton to dislike about the platform. Mobile app needed maybe? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Integration with Slack that allows our team to easily track and be aware of team members who are off on leave. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Admin interface is not the easiest to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is very modern, and I thought it was relatively user-friendly (some of my staff disagreed, however). I really liked that I could set flows for PTO approval, so it could be OK'ed by their manager, and then sent to me to mark the calendar and get things settled from the HR end.

Because I was only using their time off management system, as opposed to both their time off and time clock systems, employees could not accrue time. I simply had it set that on the first of the year, they could see all 120 hours available to them. Despite instructions to employees that they needed to look at their timecard to get actual accruals, and that hourly employees may not accrue all 120 hours if they do not work a full workweek, etc, employees had a lot of difficulty understanding that what Calamari listed was not necessarily entirely accurate. And while I felt that this software was pretty intuitive, employees would often forget to change the dropdown type of time off (Bereavement was listed first, alphabetically), or asking for partial days off.

I chose not to use their time clock system because I did not like the options. I was looking for a kiosk or app that could be used with a PIN or biometric data or something else where it is not necessary to individually log in to clock in. Not all employees have a computer to use the browser. Using an iBeacon doesn't allow people to clock in/out for breaks, so that didn't work. Additionally, salaried employees could not accrue unless they also clocked in/out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Calendar for knowing who's in/out the office is great. easy for user and admin. Good to keep track of days off. platform is somewhat customizable. good support. integrates with google calendar. can clock in with qr code or from computer depending on settings Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

company is not in USA so have to pay through paypal which can feel and look a bit strange. employees do not all have the same amount of time off allowed per year so admin has to edit by hand days off each year for each employee Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Previously, we were managing leave requests with tools that weren't specifically made for this purpose, thus it required significant manual effort.

We switched to Calamari about a year ago and it has made the process much simpler both for managers and also for employees. Nobody in the company has any noteworthy complaints.

For any configuration questions and issues, Calamari's support provides quick, helpful and personal assistance.

All in all, we are happy with Calamari and will continue using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some of the configuration options are not self-explanatory, but for any questions, Calamari Support provides help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Staff worked with us to fully explain and customize the platform to what we needed. Love that it syncs with Google calendar Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be nice if the google sync wasn't an all or nothing solution. Our company has 3 divisions using our Calamari account and it would be nice to just see the people in our own division's team calendar events and not everybody's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Kamil really helped me out a lot when I was trying to configure some unique rules. Fast replies and customer service. The Slack integration is really helpful so that managers are also able to approve/reject requests directly on Slack. The best thing about Calamari is also it's UI/UX design which is clean and easy to navigate around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike. Kamil went above and beyond to help me out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
