Timetastic Reviews

Pros

Simple and easy to use. Love the way the vacation amount is calculated based on the start date, very helpful. It also makes it easier for people to check other people's booked holidays before submitting a request, which reduces the time it takes to confirm a time.

Cons

The calendar layout and wall view overview could use an update for more flexibility. It would be nice if you could cancel part of the holiday instead of canceling the whole request and rebooking.

Pros

Timetastic is a great piece of software for any company. The ease of use and most importantly the visibility / clarity is second to none in terms of other products I've seen.

Cons

Not a lot, it does what it says. Perhaps better reporting would be beneficial. It's annoying that we have a system for this and a second system for HR management. Would be better if we had this as an all in one. Long terms we'd move away from timetastic once we get something that integrates both.

Pros

Really easy to setup and get started. Simple to use and switch on and off as needed when tracking time. Also really easy to integrate with other applications

Cons

There wasn't anything that I didn't like as straightforward and simple to use

Pros

It's easy to use, the notifications for requests are clear and make it quick to approve. The Slack integration works well and allows everyone to see who's off on a given day.

Cons

I don't feel the integration with anything else I'm using is good enough. We integrate with Slack, but that's it. I'd like to be able to pull it into the scheduling software I use (Harvest/forecast).

Pros

As a small non profit it is incredibly affordable and efficient. Before this we were tracking leave inefficiently on a spreadsheet. Timetastic has been a gamechanger for us and is a system thats well worth it.

Cons

There isnt anything I dont like about Timetastic

Pros

Very clear interface
Very easy for everyone to use
Local public holiday database very useful
Birthday and Work Anniversary function helpful
Not too expensive per user
Good system for keeping historic records

Cons

Nothing comes to mind, it does what we need it to do in a very clear way

Pros

Ease of use, great user interface, cost effective.

Cons

None that I can think of - it fulfils all our current needs.

Pros

One of the most commendable aspects of Timetastic is its user-friendly interface, which ensures a seamless experience for users at every level.

Cons

I don't have any issues with timetastic at all, the only thing that stops me using it more is my own time restraints.

Pros

Easy to use for all users, easy to set up and maintain.

Cons

Nothing negative to say. Have been using it for 3 years now.

Pros

Simple and easy to use product, which manages absence and sick perfectly for us

Cons

It is not a fully blown HR product, so lacks some more advanced features.

Pros

Users can choose Timetastic and prevent the hassles of managing old fashion spreadsheets.

Cons

The user interface is plain. Timetastic should add more features.

Pros

Timetastic is a software that lets you keep track of employee hours that they have worked or have yet to work. It contains a calendar with said hours, and offers notifications to let you know when someone is supposed to be on schedule (it also lets you plug in desired vacation times, which isn't something I've seen in other time-tracking apps). On the off chance that the boss isn't available for a period of time, someone else can be put in charge of the team (on the app) so that they can approve the hours as you plug them in. This allows everyone to keep working their desired hours, even when the higher-ups are out of town. Finally, despite its origin in Manchester, Timetastic can be used in the US, which is always a plus.

Cons

It did seem to run a bit slow on my phone, but I'm also using an iPhone 5s, which is somewhat outdated.

Pros

The fact that all users can see who clashes with their request for time off. Most Holiday planning happens in the family home and users can see, via the Timetastic App, potential clashes without waiting to go to work to look on a conventional Holiday planner.

The manager has to simply approve or disapprove as appropriate. Job done.

Also good value for money.

Cons

It integrates quite well with Outlook as an additional calendar however it would be useful if it integrated in to our CRM as it would save having too run two separate diaries.

Could also do with two managers being emailed about all holiday requests rather than just one admin.

Pros

Timetastic is one of the cleanest and simplest tools I have ever used. It serves one purpose and it does it incredibly well. It provides a detailed look at the time off for everyone across our company. If I need to book a meeting, I always check my team's calendar first.

Cons

There really isn't much to dislike. Timetastic is so simple and does its job so well. Some people might say that it is too simplistic from a UX perspective.

Pros

It's really simple to use both from a management point of view, and for individuals arranging holidays and logging sickness etc.

Most importantly, it feels really lightweight and fast for everything and there isn't any unnecessary bloat getting in the way of just getting the job done.

Cons

If I was picky, the reporting could be slightly more extensive but I'm really clutching at straws to fill out this required input box.

Pros

As a small company we were looking for a cheap and easy to use system for our absent management - timetastic fitted that criteria. The staff like it and it's easy for everyone to use. its great that it works out the allowance when you set someone up.

Cons

There are two flaws from my perspective:
1. The system does not allow you to put people on a flexible working pattern in the same group as people on a non flexible working pattern. People on a flexible working pattern's holiday allowance needs to be calculated including bank holidays which timetastic can cope with but not in a group where other people have a standard working pattern / holiday allowance.
2. If you book a block of holiday and need to remove one day for whatever reason, you have to remove the whole block and then update as individual days.

Pros

The ease of use, being able to manage a number of employees with no hassle at all.

Excellent system and cost effective too, would definitely recommend them.

Cons

There is nothing I like least as it is perfect for our business

Pros

It's simplicity and friendly appearance. It's great for managing time off on both HR and Employee's sides. They also offer mobile apps to quickly book time off.

Cons

Not much. Although It would be great if there were some extra features (such as staff recognition).

Pros

- G Suite Integration
- Slack Integration
- working out of pro-rated holiday allowance
- keeping track of lieu days
- multiple Bank Holiday tracking ( For different Countries)
Lots more.

Cons

Only thing I wish it had was notification of work anniversaries.

Pros

Simple to configure; intuitive for users; good VFM.

Cons

One requirement which Timetastic could not meet is allowing a particular leave type to be only approved by a specific Administrator.

We have the approval set per user to Dept Boss, and this is great for annual leave, sick leave, etc. but I have one leave type - Working from Home - which I would like only myself as Admin, not the Dept Bosses, to approve for all staff.

As yet (with a Support call logged) I have not seen a work-around for this.

Pros

The simplicity, the interface, and that it's made in the UK :)

Cons

Love all of it, just WISH there was a way for it to show more information via the Slack integration, like what the time off is for (eg holiday, meeting, sickness) and if it could send the notification to slack the day BEFORE, not the actual morning of the event. PLEASE!!!

Pros

We like the fact that this has made our holiday booking quick and straightforward.
It calculates part year holiday entitlement and is a clear and visible system and the approval process has been streamlined.
The mobile app makes it very easy for out of hours use
Reporting is easy too and has helped with mid-year planning

Cons

There's not much that we don't like to be honest

Pros

We had an antiquated paper request and wall calendar system before Timetastic so anything would have been better. However, Timetastic exceeded our expectations both in design and ease of use. The simplistic approach makes it really user friendly for staff to book leave and have constant visibility of remaining leave for the year.

Cons

There are no cons so far! We have found it to be exactly what we needed and should have implemented it years ago.

Pros

Ease of use
Quick, clear format for easy reference
Easy to adapt to the needs of the individual customer
Fast response time to any queries
Amazing value for money!

Cons

I would love this to link to onlin HR records systems - it is much easier to use than the holiday management processes included with many fully integrated packages.

Pros

It's ideal for us working in a distributed environment (everyone works from home across the UK). Makes it easy to submit and manage requests but, also, see at a glance who is out and in. We have also integrated it into our Slack instance so that we get channel alerts at the beginning of the day, telling everyone who is in and out. We use the Google calendar integration as well. The responsive design is good too.

Cons

I'm struggling to think of anything that it doesn't provide us. Integration into personal Slack channels would be nice to manage personal leave via Slack.
