Calamari HR Software Reviews

“Get thing done easy and cheep”

Pros

Managing employee vacation requests and tracking time is effortless. The mobile app is handy for tasks on the go.

Cons

It lacks a MacOS and Windows app. A dedicated app with extra features like push notifications and task bar icons for time tracking status would enhance user experience.

“Very good”

Pros

The ease of use and overall experience are excellent.

Cons

Im just a user but I quite like it.

“Excellent, low-cost solution for Non-profits!”

Pros

Calamari has an intuitive and user-friendly design that made it easy for our team to adapt to. The support team has been consistently helpful during our onboarding process. The Slack integration is a favorite feature as it allows us to handle time tracking and leave management efficiently within Slack which is our primary communication tool.

Cons

One lacking feature is customizable work schedules. Calamari doesnt offer the ability to customize schedules extensively which can lead to additional work for the operations team.

“Perfect Solution For Our Company”

Pros

Calamari automates everything seamlessly and its integration with Outlook adds further value.

Cons

Setting up employee PTO hours was a bit challenging initially. However after some interactions with support and getting accustomed to it it became manageable.

“Very good software for good money”

Pros

Its ease of use and pricing make it suitable for both small companies like mine and larger enterprises. Ive recommended it to my customers and they are satisfied with Calamari as well.

Cons

Its challenging to learn initially but the customer support is very helpful in this regard.

“Efficient tool”

Pros

A highly efficient tool that aids in personnel tracking without the need for a dedicated HR department. Its easy to use even without formal training.

Cons

So far I havent encountered any issues with the system.

“My Best HR Journey”

Pros

Its impactful reliable and straightforward to use.

Cons

I havent encountered any difficulties or areas needing improvement.

“Awesome tool for absence management and easy to integrate with Jira”

Pros

Calamari performs reliably as expected. Weve been using it seamlessly for a long time and whenever we encounter issues the support team promptly provides solutions. Their assistance is exemplary often resolving our concerns within 30 minutes.

Cons

So far weve encountered no issues. Weve been using Calamari for a long time without any problems.

“Excellent product and a great value”

Pros

We appreciate its ease of use integration with other applications and excellent UI. The Slack notification feature is particularly helpful. Ease of use is crucial for employee buy-in and Calamari excels in this aspect.

Cons

Reporting is an area where theres room for improvement. Many companies require a signed record of timecard approval for fair compensation. Currently we have to export data and configure it manually. Integrating a timecard approval workflow into the application would streamline this process.

“Opinion”

Pros

Our company benefits from saving on office space while employees save on both money and travel time. Remote work is considered advantageous as it allows us to tap into the expertise of the best specialists worldwide.

Cons

With distributed teams the risk of misunderstandings is higher. Establishing a company culture akin to Googles office environment is not feasible.

“Solid product for the price great customer support”

Pros

Integration with Slack is fantastic and the abundance of available videos enhances user-friendliness.

Cons

Making amendments can sometimes be unintuitive such as adjusting staff working schedules midway through the year which then requires customer support. I believe a few more FAQ videos could prevent this.

“Our experience”

Pros

Its straightforward to navigate providing detailed information about attendance and vacation for all colleagues.

Cons

Our team lacks nothing and we have no suggestions for improvement.

“LOVE The program”

Pros

Accessibility is a major plus and my staff loves the app.

Cons

Im new to working with this program but so far it feels efficient.

“Calamari”

Pros

Calamari is incredibly intuitive - it simplifies holiday tracking sick leave management and more. Its straightforward and well-organized design makes its features easily accessible. Requesting time off is a breeze and the approval system functions smoothly. The customer service team is always responsive and helpful especially when we have specific requests.

Cons

Some team members encounter frequent logout issues which are resolved by sending them another system invitation (the cause is uncertain).

“The best customer support and user friendly software”

Pros

The standout feature is definitely the customer support. Their communication and problem-solving skills are exceptional.

Cons

I would appreciate more features. Although theres a new Core HR module it still offers only the basics. Its fantastic software if you only need to store and manage basic information.

“Calamari - managing your team's availability is couple simple clicks”

Pros

The affordability simplicity of setup and maintenance integration with Slack and open API are all standout features. The customer service especially from Kasia has been excellent and responsive.

Cons

The UI experience is simple but the user experience isnt always optimal. The Calendar view and navigation can be confusing with unexpected list refreshes.

“Tech support amazing”

Pros

The support team is fast competent and friendly. Their assistance and training videos make the platform fairly easy to use once you understand its mechanisms.

Cons

Overall everything is straightforward and comprehensible. No comments thus far.

“FK Calamari Review”

Pros

The provision of an application makes it easier for our employees to log in.

Cons

The manuals/guides/videos arent as informative as they should be. Screenshots might assist both users and administrators. Setup wasnt as easy as anticipated and our support from Calamari was limited with many responses not helpful.

“Good system, great customer service, just missing a few features”

Pros

Its incredibly user-friendly with a modern feel on both the app and web versions. The admin and setup processes are intuitive and even our less tech-savvy employees had no trouble getting used to it. The customer service team is friendly and quick to respond to any queries or issues. The system processes tasks quickly and theres a variety of clocking methods available.

Cons

While the product is nice it feels behind competitors in some aspects. There are translation mistakes and missing admin features. Some exported reports lack consistency. Overall it feels like were beta-testing the product.

“Great but need some improvements”

Pros

The PTO features are well-executed offering many options such as contract management status tracking and recruiting.

Cons

It took me a while to figure out how to grant access to all employees.
