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. ----- ### "Chief Finance Officer" — 5.0/5 > **Noora** | *May 5, 2026* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What we like most is how easy and reliable it is and it simply works without unnecessary complexity and it is value for money. > > **Cons**: While we’ve been very satisfied overall, there is still some room for improvemen, for example, the reporting features could be more easier to use, and the user interface could be slightly more intuitive in certain areas. > > Calamari has been in use for over 8 years in our organization, and our experience with it has been very positive. The system is easy to use and intuitive, making everyday time tracking smooth for the entire team. We especially appreciate its flexibility—Calamari has adapted well to our changing needs over the years. In addition, its customer-oriented approach is evident both in its features and in the support provided. Overall, it is a reliable and effective solution that we can warmly recommend. ----- 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
