## WhosOff Reviews
  ### 1. Excellent Software for Holiday tracking!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Isha S. | App/Cloud Support Associate, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2021

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

It is easily accessible and easy to navigate the functions. It is clear to see which employee is on off. Also, it is easy to register overtime and schedule vacation.

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

Some employees are not getting an email notification.

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are using this software for holiday scheduling, tracking vacations in advance and weekoffs and leaves for employees.

  ### 2. Booking a Holiday made easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2020

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

I like how easy it is to see what Holidays you have available, when you can take them and who is also off at that particular time. the setup is really well laid out and very easy to navigate. anybody who uses Who's Off will feel the same way. Booking in advance of the time that you need off can always be tricky. I feel Whos Off does very well to combat the stress of worrying if you have booked off annual leave at the same time as somebody else within your team. You can also find out who is Off in different departments and even the whole company. i would 100% Recommend

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

i am yet to come across something that i dislike within Whos Off. This is something which some people may find hard to believe. Have a try you will not be disappointed.

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Navigating peoples calendars to see when you are able to take annual leave.  there is also a plugin for outlook so you can have anybody's Holidays within the organisation displayed direct to your calendar. this helps you on a daily basis know who is in and out of work. the ability to see your remaining days for the year and also look how many you have next year and be able to book in advance is a great feature.

  ### 3. Good to track the leave details!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 08, 2019

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

I would say that whosoff is better app to track our leave details like Leave balance, Leave availed etc. We can easily apply leave via whosoff!

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

Applied Leave cannot be cancel by the user except their manager!

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No problem faced yet!

  ### 4. User friendly platform for viewing your leave and submitting your leave requests

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Events Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2019

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

You get an email any time your leave request gets approved, and you can take off any many days as you want at a time.

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

You can't take back a day after it's been submitted and in pending mode. 

**Recommendations to others considering WhosOff:**

Would be much easier to integrate to a platform that's already being used within the company. Whosoff seems like another website that could be condensed into a feature and for the company not to pay for it.

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No problems. Benefits are you can see who on your team is taking off and plan for those days in advance. 

  ### 5. Simple but efficient

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 15, 2018

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

Whosoff allows us to efficiently manage our leaves and staff days with a very simple interface and a set of tools to have a proper day to day management. The pricing is interesting for small and intermediate companies as this system is mainly aiming at startups and mid-sized companies; unsure how it would perform for a massive 5000 workers company.

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

It may sometimes look or seem a bit too simple and since it's just doing the job you need it may times to times feel like there isn't much room for innovation or improvement (but hey, what could you add to a staff leaves management system?)

**Recommendations to others considering WhosOff:**

Just consider this solution as a straight forward and efficient tool to use, with a very easy setup and efficient operations management. Ditch the useless and focus on what really matters.

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are saving some works about the scheduling of the WFH and the paid / annual / sick... leaves. It is definitely a massive improvement in a matter of time consumed for us to determinate wether a member of the staff can leave or not and obviously, being cloud based, it can be accessible from anywhere.

  ### 6. Simple to use holiday booking system

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** David C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 04, 2017

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

Easy to use immediately (no training required)
Ability to see who is off in the company across multiple teams and departments
Each to approve holidays without the use of emails
reminders when you havent approved a holiday yet

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

There is not much ti dislike about the software as its not very complicated and does every task you need from a holiday booking system

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This allows us to separate staff into their departments, this then allows users from any department to view who is off on a certain day or period of time. We now no longer use email to book holidays and it allows approvers of holidays to easily approve/decline requests and notify users without the need to send emails

  ### 7. Capable, but not much more

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stu M. | Design Director, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

The mobile app (iOS) does a reasonable job of making it quick and easy to log holidays etc, whenever you think of it rather than needing to wait until you're back in the office to do it. 

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

The app and the web app interface miss quite a few opportunities to make things simple and pleasurable. In fact it sometimes feels like the important things have been made a little harder. For instance:

- The default leave type is bereavement; I've accidentally selected it a couple of times which - apart from  causing concern among colleagues - I can't change it unless I cancel the leave request
- Every time I use the web app to submit a new leave request I can't find the button. This is the main thing I use it for, but the option is a small text link no where near I would expect to find it.
- If I have a request that it yet to be approved, it is hidden in my list of leave until I click 'show pending', can't understand why - it's rare I need to check approved leave as that's gone into my diary, but I do check pending requests (wondering if I got the date right or why they might not have been approved yet for instance).

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The benefits of a system such as this is reduction of admin and staff more likely to submit requests early as they have easy access to it;.

  ### 8. Good , easy to us product

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lauren W. | Property Manager, Real Estate, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 14, 2018

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

What I like best about this product is the ease of use. There is little to no training, and this software can be used by phone and computer. 

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

Sometimes going between phone and computer can cause some problems and the interfaces look a tab bit different. Other than that there is not much to dislike about this product. It does the job and the calendars are easy to read and software is simple to use.

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

This product is great to us for a large company that may have many departments. It will allow you to see every employees calendar, what days may be blocked off by vacation or personal days. The software will remind you if you have a day that was submitted for time off and is still in pending status. 

  ### 9. An great tool fo

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 14, 2017

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

With Whosoff, it's a great way to request annual leave within a company. Just select the time you require and the dates and the request is sent to your line manager. It's a straight forward way to book your time off and like previous employers where time off was requested sometimes just in person and there was no clarity about how many days off you could take, as well as how many holidays you have left. This is all very clear using whos off. Its clear to look at the company as a whole, who is currently on leave as well as individual departments. 

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

There was no option to request sick leave if you are a user. This would have to be done by an administrator.

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Whos off has made it very clear for users and administrators in our company to give an overview of who is taking annual leave. This makes planning work events and other things much quicker. Using whos off has saved a lot of time in the company.

  ### 10. Great time saver

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Adam G. | Chief Financial Officer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 27, 2017

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

The transparency between teams so that they can see who is off on a specific day is very useful.

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

Having multiple approvers is a little difficult to set up.

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Saving time having to submit holiday requests by email, and also having the visibility of Whosoff between Staff is a great help.

  ### 11. WhosOff review

I wouldn’t say I dislike anything about the software.

Increased employee satisfaction. Reduces paper time off requests. 

  ### 12. Great for managing time off

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Harriet D. | Sales & Marketing Administrator, Computer Software, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 12, 2017

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

You can set up multiple groups within an organisation and apply rules to these e.g maximum people off at any one time

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

When having multiple groups set up, adding another and configuring free days can be quite a long process

Ability to manage annual leave individually and across teams

  ### 13. Transparency across departments

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 30, 2017

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

I can easily check who is off during a certain period and submit my holiday requests. It is great to be able to use the app too. 

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

There is not much to dislike, it does everything I need it to

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We can easily check whether there are any holiday clashes and we can make sure we stay within our allocated holidays

  ### 14. Excellent Online Holiday/Time Off Booking Solution

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Roy L. | Head of IT Operations, Medical Devices, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 21, 2015

**What do you like best about WhosOff?**

Very easy to set up, use and administer.  The best leave booking and tracking system I have used.

**What do you dislike about WhosOff?**

There's not much here to dislike.  It does what it 's supposed to do and does it really well.

**Recommendations to others considering WhosOff:**

This product is perfect for what you need if it's just for tracking and managing holidays, sickness and other time off.  The price is very competitive as well.  Other HR system which offer time/leave tracking as an option are far more expensive.

**What problems is WhosOff solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Staff Holiday Tracking.  Easy to book time off.  Easy for managers to see when their staff are off.  Easy to plan time off and cover with the rest of the business - view all employees in your organisation, or by department or by Tag/Keyword.
