Cons
One aspect I found lacking was the limited customization options. While the core time tracking and leave management functionalities were solid there was limited flexibility in customizing the platform to suit specific business needs. Having more options for customizing leave policies approval workflows and reports would have been beneficial for organizations with unique requirements.

Pros
Calamari offers several appealing aspects. Its intuitive interface facilitates seamless navigation and access to features like time tracking and leave management. Mobile apps enhance convenience and reporting capabilities provide valuable insights into attendance patterns.
Cons
One aspect I found lacking was the limited customization options. While the core time tracking and leave management functionalities were solid there was limited flexibility in customizing the platform to suit specific business needs. Having more options for customizing leave policies approval workflows and reports would have been beneficial for organizations with unique requirements.
