Calamari HR Software Reviews

“Simple & effective for daily tasks

Pros

its simplicity makes it easy to pick up and I find it both effective and really helpful.

Cons

I don't rely on it as a single all-in-one solution I tend to jump between multiple tools.

“Affordibilty

Pros

The software can be deployed across different sites for organizations with multiple offices.

Cons

The end-user experience is somewhat limited and there are occasional glitches when operating offline.

“Helps to organize yourself

Pros

Its a good app for organizing shifts and monitoring working hours.

Cons

Occasionally it becomes a bit sluggish when updating data.

“Impressed so far!

Pros

As my teams grew I needed a time and PTO tracker to replace tedious spreadsheets. Calamaris trial revealed its value for money. Setup was straightforward and their support was impressively responsive. They quickly addressed any bugs I encountered and patiently guided me through setup. Integrations with Slack and Google Calendar were also highlights.

Cons

Not necessarily a drawback but I would appreciate an option to restrict requests on specific months or days.

“Great value with fast help

Pros

I have been hunting for a time and PTO tracker as my team expands because using spreadsheets has become way too tedious. I signed up for a trial with Calamari and quickly realized it was good value for money. Setup was easy and whenever I ran into hiccups their support replied unbelievably fast , usually within 3-4 minutes. I have noticed bugs occasionally but they fix them within minutes after I report them. The effort their support team put into actually helping me was genuinely impressive, they corrected my accrual rules and even sent screenshots of my real account to show exactly where I could tweak things. They were very patient throughout the process since I like to tinker, their team walked me through the entire setup step by step. On top of that, the integrations with Slack and Google Calendar are features I really appreciate and use frequently.

Cons

Not really a con but I would love to see an option that lets me restrict request submissions to specific months or particular days which would help enforce our internal scheduling rules better.

“happy with the app!

Pros

I am happy with this app for organizing shifts and tracking hours.

Cons

Sometimes I find it a little slow updating data.

“Great customer service!

Pros

The customer service team promptly resolved an issue with my payment information expiration restoring my account efficiently.

Cons

Its excellent software considering the price.

“Great HR software as well as the support, that are always with you to help.

Pros

The support is excellent and handling Calamari is a breeze.

Cons

Wed like the option to export the review with each leave event color-coded (vacation sick days each in a different color) aiding in visualizing it for each employee per month. This would streamline the salary accounting process.

“outstanding support

Pros

The support has been outstanding and I find it really helpful and easy to use.

Cons

I'd really appreciate having the option to export the review in a format that shows each leave event in a distinct color (for instance, vacations, sick days and other absences each displayed in a different color). That way I could easily view a month-by-month overview for every employee which would significantly simplify our payroll and salary accounting tasks.

“Great Tracking, Friendly Support

Pros

The user interface is excellent and Ive never encountered any issues. Today I used the chat feature for the first time in over two years and the assistance was exceptional.

Cons

Today was the first issue I encountered but it was swiftly resolved. I cant think of anything negative.

“Modern & flexible but unpolished

Pros

What I really liked about it is its modern interface and how easy it is to use, even for employees who aren't very tech-savvy. I appreciate the multiple clock-in options, like the QR scanner, the mobile app and iBeacon which give a lot of flexibility depending on the situation. The advanced API is useful and should make future integrations simple I also noticed the customer support is responsive which feels rare these days and the processes are fast, helping me manage time tracking and leave much more efficiently. Overall it's a pretty nice app.

Cons

It sometimes falls behind competitors when it comes to available features. I wish the administrative tools and team-management options were more developed. every so often I face small translation mistakes and inconsistencies in exported reports which is annoying. A number of features are still in development and I sometimes feel like I'm being used as a guinea pig for paid functionality instead of getting a fully polished product.

“Calamari REVIEW

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.

“Useful tool, doesn't work on old phones

Pros

When it comes to staff management, their personnel administration tool includes capabilities that I find very useful for these specific needs.

Cons

the mobile version isn't compatible with older devices which caused issues on legacy hardware.

“Very good tool for time tracking in bussiness.

Pros

Managing and using it is simple. It allows me to regain control over time tracking for the projects Im involved in.

Cons

Lack of photo upload feature the window for accepting employee-declared time should be chronological.

“Excellent, efficient software for small teams and businesses

Pros

Particularly for smaller businesses Calamari provides invaluable visibility into everyones leave and absences allowing for efficient planning. Its integration with Slack and Outlook Calendar enhances its value as an excellent cloud solution for our needs.

Cons

When we transitioned our financial year away from the calendar year it took us some time to understand how to set it up in Calamari. However we reached out to customer support and they guided us through the process. Its a bit tricky but the support team is available to assist with any inquiries.
