“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.

“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.

“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.
