People stopped asking around about who was off and started checking the system instead. The interface was simple and didn’t interrupt our regular process. For a large team setup like ours, it kept everyone aligned without needing to talk about it constantly. > > **Cons**: The preset leave types didn’t match our internal HR categories so we had to customize them. The reporting feature felt a bit rigid when we tried pulling data across multiple departments. It works, but you have to dig around a bit to get what you want. > > At Wipro we used Absence while managing multiple delivery teams across regions. Keeping track of who was on leave used to be inconsistent and occasionally caused overlaps in project planning. After using this tool, the amount of back-and-forth reduced and managers started referencing it before assigning deadlines. It did not fix every issue, but it definitely helped reduce friction in planning and improved overall visibility. ----- ### "Perfect Vacation Tracker for a Small Business" — 5.0/5 > **Emily Anderson** | *27 June 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Absence.io finally gives our company a way to track vacation, have a company calendar that shows employees absences and formal request validations within different teams. I love how customizable it is\! > > **Cons**: The calendar views take a little time getting used to, but other than that, I have no negative things to say about this software. > > Vacation tracking, vacation calendar and formal request validation. ----- ### "Loving the software" — 5.0/5 > **Ben** | *18 August 2016* | Consumer Goods | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The style of interface. The simple iPhone App. The ability to drive requests by "Accept/Decline" emails rather than needing to login. By far, the price which allowed us to progress without considering the competition any further. > > **Cons**: It is currently lacking the ability to manage passive users. We have some members of staff who will not login, and do not have email addresses. These still need to be managed on the software so we needed to make temporary emails for them to add them. This however was not a showstopper for us. > > We had multiple options to try for a web based holiday management tool. It was the very tidy "Bootstrap-ish" modern layout which pushed absence.io in to the finals, and the pricing that was exactly in budget for our business which pushed it to the top. With software of this quality at this price it allows us to integrate without opposition from accounts. The setup was intuitive and it has features built in for even the most complex of situations (i.e. employee working day contract changes). Technical support is on fire with the speed that they respond so this is also a very positive thing for an already great experience so far. ----- ### "Terrible customer service, stay away" — 1.0/5 > **L** | *7 November 2020* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It worked well enough for what we needed as we used it for the past few years. > > **Cons**: Customer service is non existent. None of my users can currently sign in as it says our account is temporarily suspended and to contact customer service. We did that and they don't even respond to emails yet gladly keep charging my credit card. Having to file a dispute now, all while employees keep emailing me that they want to book vacation but the tool isn't working, so I have NO idea how much time anyone has left now. ----- ### "Time saving product" — 5.0/5 > **Josh** | *3 March 2017* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Multiple leave types that can pool from one total allotment Teams Half Day time off capability > > **Cons**: Needs a start date connection to increased allowances > > Since implementation countless hours have been saved manually tracking and approving absences, as well as informing employees about their remaining leave balances. Now each employee simply logs in and can see everything quickly and easily. At year end we can easily run reports to see what types of absences were used, who is over their allowances, etc.. Overall it's a very useful tool. And as an added bonus, the integration with Slack is fantastic and fairly seamless. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/175061/absence-io?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/175061/absence-io) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
