Getting support from the guys at Calamari is fantastic\! > > **Cons**: I prefer logging into Calamari via my pc. The Calamari app is not as easy to use or view when compared to using the website. > > I believe it has helped us and the staff immensely, as we never had this system in place before. Previously all annual leave was put on a shared calender. ----- ### "Calamari: First 6 months." — 5.0/5 > **Jerry** | *27 May 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have found Calamari easy to use, and it offers just about everything we've needed. Installation was straight forward too. The team were very supportive and helpful, but we found that the product was very intuitive. Personally I always prefer a trial rather than a demo (which often does not reveal weaknesses). Calamari were happy for me to trial the system warts and all..... although we didn't really find any warts. > > **Cons**: Difficult to think of any weakness. I'm sure that some organisations would find something, but for us it offers everything we need, including interfacing with other systems. > > Calamari has been one of the easiest implementations I've experienced. Support is almost instant when we've had any questions. ----- ### "Love Calamari - easy to set up and use." — 4.0/5 > **Steven** | *25 November 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use - super quick to get started and up and running. We use Calamari for leave and working hours tracking and have done for 5 years. It's perfect for our needs. > > **Cons**: I wasn't impressed when they moved the emergency contact info behind the Core HR paywall, surely we could have kept that one field? > > We've been using Calamari for about 5 years and are delighted with it. Easy to use and deep enough features when you dig down. Great value for money. ----- ### "Love it with Slack" — 5.0/5 > **Oleg** | *27 May 2025* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like integration with Slack. Find it convenient for coffee breaks, personal appoint ent and visibility when working remotely. > > **Cons**: Not super flexible with custom brakes creation. Would prefer to have more settings to create own type brakes with custom rules and limitations. > > Using it for 5+ years. Solving the attendance and holiday request problem in our company. Employees love it. ----- ### "Great product for tracking and submitting time off" — 5.0/5 > **James** | *10 June 2025* | Environmental Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy management of time off, Really great, love that it integrates with Google. It lets everyone in the team manage their leave clearly and effectively. > > **Cons**: The documents section didn't do what we needed - we would have liked to use it for onboarding and policy documents. ----- Page: 1 / 25\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/141217/calamari?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/141217/calamari) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
