When we requested an update date formatting, Absence.io responded quickly and introduced the requested feature within a couple weeks. Our company loves using Absence and would recommend it to anyone. ----- ### "Almost perfect\!" — 5.0/5 > **Sabina** | *February 15, 2017* | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of monitoring and how seamless the application and approval process is. > > **Cons**: Sometimes it crashes which is unfortunate, and I'm not the biggest fan of the public holiday set up as we presently monitor staff in various countries (where holidays sometimes overlap, and sometimes they don't). > > We implemented Absence.io into our startup operations and it has worked seamlessly. It's easy to set up and it's easy to use. If only there was another option for "Working from Home" or "Working Out of Office" so we can track where employees are - that would be ideal. ----- ### "User friendly tool to track absence of the teams" — 4.0/5 > **Christin** | *February 27, 2017* > > Absence.io is a user friendly tool that allows us to extract good reports and understand absence of our teams, regardless of if they are sick or on a business trip. ----- ### "Easy to use, time saving and must-have HR Tool" — 5.0/5 > **Anna** | *February 21, 2017* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > We are a startup and have approximately 20 employees. absence.io helps us a lot to plan our holidays, keep track of sickness-days, and much more\! Our developers love the slack-integration and our accounting department loves the exports at the end of every year. I cannot believe how much time I spent on these things in excel before we implemented absence.io :-) ----- ### "Best tool for team absence management" — 5.0/5 > **Marius** | *August 25, 2016* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Powerful and easy to use. > > **Cons**: I would like more power in the Slack Integration > > We were looking for a tool that can help our team be more efficient when it comes to absence requests and time off in general. Their integration with Slack and ease of use made our transition smooth\! ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/104251/absence-io?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/104251/absence-io) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
