It was super easy to set up Calamari and we had great help and support throughout the process. > > **Cons**: I think the platform is a bit pricy for what it is at first but we get more value along the way for sure. > > So far, our experience has been great. We can now properly manage our staff and have valuable insights. ----- ### "Great Product\!" — 5.0/5 > **Tina** | *May 27, 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have been using calamari for several years and continue to do so. We love it, it helps to keep us organized\! > > **Cons**: I haven't run into anything using this system that I dislike. It provides everything that we need it for. > > Customer service is amazing, we are very happy with this system, ive never found anything else comparible. ----- ### "Highly Effective Solution + Outstanding Service" — 5.0/5 > **Felix Brandon** | *May 12, 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: We have gained terrific and attentive service from their team. The product does what it needs to do and they have it applied the personal service we need to have success with all the different variables for which we need to account. > > **Cons**: At this time, I don't have a particular point on which to focus. We have been using this service for some time and have seen it continue to improve such that there are not any points that immediately come to mind as my liking least. ----- ### "Calamari - Leave Management System" — 5.0/5 > **Olivia** | *October 21, 2025* | Packaging & Containers | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: As we have staff based in China and staff based in South Africa, it was important for us to find a leave system that worked for all staff across the board taking their different holidays and work days into consideration. Staff can now apply for leave and manage this directly, instead of having to ask someone in South Africa to do it. > > **Cons**: Some of the functions we had during the trial period disappeared as different sections in the Leave Management Sections are paid for individually. It would have been nice if the subscription price could include all the available sections in the Calamari Leave Management system at a lowered rate and then have the sections available for those who wanted them individually. > > The support staff at Calamari were extremely helpful in assisting with the set-up of our leave system. We did a trial period before we continued with Calamari and their support staff were always and ready to assist with any query. Now that we have subscribed to Calamari, their support staff are still as diligent and helpful as in the beginning, which has been really nice. They also continue to troubleshoot problems and try and find effective ways to deal with these issues. ----- ### "Great product" — 5.0/5 > **Jordan** | *May 4, 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use. Our employees say that it is not difficult to go in to clock in and out, or to add sick days. > > **Cons**: It is not easy on the administrator side to add an employee's total vacation days for the entire year. > > The experience has been good overall. When we have needed technical assistance, the team has been helpful. ----- Page: 1 / 26\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/141217/calamari?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/141217/calamari) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | 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 | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
