"Best leave Management Slack app ever!!"
What do you like best about Pause?

I love how easy it is to use, honestly. We did not even have a training session and we all basically understood how it works. Everything from applying the leave, to approval and calculation of the leaves left is available on the slack app. You can also see how many people are on leave in your team or even your entire company. Absolutely recommend! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pause?

Nothing at all. Sometimes it doesn't work, but it is very, very rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"An amazing user-friendly leave management tool"
What do you like best about Pause?

The fact that Pause makes it so easy to apply as well as approve leave through slack is super cool. We can even check who all are on leave within the team and across (as per our commands to the Pause bot) is really helpful in figuring out meeting schedules. Absolutely love how it sends a decline note to all my meetings whenever I'm on leave. Best part - shows my leave balance every time I apply for a leave + I get notifications/reminders about the birthdays of my colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pause?

I would like Pause even more if it would allow us to customise our leave status updates when connected to slack. Right now it only allows a palm-tree emoji. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ESSENTIAL TOOL FOR GOOD TIME MANAGEMENT"
What do you like best about Pause?

Pause has the necessary tools that provide: autonomy for your employees' requests, data update in the cloud in real time with remote access, calendars, automated calculations in hours and payroll, management of the replacement of the position that is going to be empty or the reorganization of tasks for an ideal workflow. Spend less paper and spend less time. Real-time notifications through Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pause?

I really like this absence software. It helps to unify and visualize all the necessary elements for decision making. When any type of request is processed, holiday example, the schedule and balance are available in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pause is a usable and intuitive online platform, configurable and adaptable to our needs, it helps to manage our free time in the best way. Among the most notable features of Pause we can find: organizer, planner and absence calendars, attendance control, sending reminders and notifications.

Its integration with Google Calendar and Slack works perfectly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have only been using the platform for a few days and I can only say that it is an effective absence control solution with which I can easily manage each working day, in addition, it is intuitive, flexible and adaptable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy & Configurable"
What do you like best about Pause?

It's simple and straightforward to use. Don't have to use another app, or open another page -- everything happens within Slack which our team already uses, so the effort and learning curve is basically non-existent.

Has been really easy to get started, configure and best of all convince our team to start using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pause?

We're a consultancy -- which means sometimes people have to take a break from one project to work on another. This is not a use case that is currently covered by Pause and I completely understand why -- but I really hope that they add it in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Team Pause of Pause

Hi Arpan, thank you so much for your review! We're glad to learn that you and your team find Pause easy to use. The use case you talk about is quite interesting, and I'll pass it on to the Product team to see if there's something we can do about it. Cheers!

"Pause makes it very easy to apply for leave"
What do you like best about Pause?

Easy to apply for leave

Easy to see who's on leave

Can check leave balance conveniently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pause?

- It doesn't allow to edit leave type once it has been submitted (I had accidentally pressed 'Birthday leave' instead of casual and sent it, and it was approved, but I could not edit the leave type later, so the manager had to cancel the leave and I re-applied)

- It doesn't have a compulsory option to give a reason for leave and gets misused sometimes by the team. As managers, we would need to know the reason for a leave.

- There's no need for an alert if no one's on leave. (when integrated with Slack)

- There's an option that team should fill their bdays and date of joining but that too is optional. Again as managers to celebrate the occasions, we'd like to have this information handy and therefore made compulsory to be filled for easy alerts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use leave management tool"
What do you like best about Pause?

Pause makes managing and staying up to date with time off from work easy and transparent. I like the way the Pause bot sounds, they are pretty chill and laid back.

Pause makes it super simple to apply for time off, see how much time off I have taken and how many days I have left, and also to know when my colleagues are OOO. 10/10 would recommend, it's an easy integration into your Slack workspace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pause?

There have been no downsides to using Pause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hi Manaal, thank you for your detailed review! We're pleased that Pause has helped you free yourself from the anxiety and obligations that usually come with taking time off. 🙌
