Vacation Tracker Reviews & Product Details

What I like best is having leave requests, approvals, and team availability in one place. The shared calendar is particularly useful when planning work and arranging cover: I can check who will be away before scheduling a task, rather than asking colleagues individually or searching through messages. Being able to check leave balances also makes planning time off more straightforward. An unexpected benefit is that it makes handover planning easier—we can spot overlapping absences early and arrange cover before they become a problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’d like a clearer calendar overview for planning team coverage, particularly when several people request overlapping dates. A view that highlights potential coverage gaps and puts pending requests alongside approved leave would make it easier to assess requests without checking each one individually. This would help us plan handovers and make approval decisions more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Slack integration is very advanced. We use it to import users directly from Slack’s directory, which makes the login experience seamless. Users can also use the Vacation Tracker Slack app to request PTO and set up notifications that get sent to channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a fairly balanced product. There is nothing I dislike about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a distributed company we needed a simple way to track when people were not available. VT enabled us to set up something within Slack that everyone was able to use and figure out right away. And we solved an important problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took a bit of time to understand the differences between locations and departments so that we could setup our situation to have the right policies for the right people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We were looking for a lightweight vacation management solution that could seamlessly integrate with the applications we already use, and Vacation Tracker turned out to be the perfect fit.

The setup was simple, the interface is user-friendly, and the integration with tools like Microsoft Teams made adoption very easy across the organization. It helps us efficiently manage employee time-off requests without adding another complicated system to maintain.

Overall, a great solution for teams looking for a simple, effective, and well-integrated leave management tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Have been using VT for 3 months now and I don't have any negatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to add different PTO policies and make departments. we have so many different policies and it is nice to have more detailed options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

when you select days v hours you can't change it within other pto categories. also, if someone is an approver in one dept then if they are an employee in another dept they can approve people who actually aren't their's to approve. it is hard to explain but that was kind of confusing at first Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It really simplifies the tracking process. It's intuitive and easy to use. We did not have to dedicate training time for the team to quickly understand how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't figured out how to record a vacation/sick day taken in the past. The feature might be there, but it's not obvious to me or the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vacation Tracker was easy to set up with customized leave policies, regional holiday imports and departmental approval structure. The Microsoft Teams integration is very useful for notifications. It's also easy to add and remove users. Customer support is very responsive and understands what is being asked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With 2-level approval, an adminstrator cannot see leave pending requests after the first level of approval, but before the second level of approval resulting in some leave requests expiring. In addition to visibility, there should be a notification to the administrator if leave requests expire. Scheduled reports cannot be customized. Also, there should be an option to pro-rate remaining annual leaves for users after their probation period. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the automated reporting that is sent out to the team weekly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is hard to change the settings on when vacation hours reset annually (for example, on an employee's work anniversary as opposed to the calendar year). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From an admin side, not much to do after setup. The user can basically help themselves. From an end user point of view, all information is at your disposal and can be found easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't think there is much to dislike, this is a small app with a lot of functionalities Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that is automatically tracks pto/ht used and keeps employees updated with current time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that when you deactivate someone on slack and then re-activate their time does not stay and I have to go back in and update. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
