Chose Calamari
It was the only system that provided all of the features we required, including actiTIME, and was comprehensive enough to calculate various types of outages. Contactability with customer service, which is extremely quick, helpful, and friendly, and always resolves my problems, …
Chose Calamari
We previously managed all of our PTO within Excel, which did not allow us to automatically approve PTO based on various management levels, track specific teams allowance or substitute easily.
Chose Calamari
Overall, Calamari definitely did help our HR team to save tons of time spent on monitoring the leaves manually. What is more, our team members can see their history and current leave status live. We can surely see the difference using Calamari brought to our business.
Chose Calamari
Our HR department used Excel and paper request forms for our vacation management, and tracking working hours didn't exist. We were only obliged to sign a list when we were entering the office. Calamari is a huge improvement in every aspect of time tracking and vacation …
TimeCamp
Chose TimeCamp
Ultimately I selected Clockify instead of TimeCamp. As previously mentioned, I believe that TimeCamp wasn't that intuitive, and too many things were behind pay walls. Clockify offered the same features mostly for free. Although TimeCamps UX was sleeker than Clockify's I found …
Chose TimeCamp
TimeCamp provides a virtuous customer service system with various collaboration possibilities; its architecture is critical for interaction with project management, accounting, sales and marketing, and CRM.
Chose TimeCamp
We evaluated these other products and decided TimeCamp was much more user-friendly. Being able to have a more user-friendly platform was mission-critical for us. The other products are equally as wonderful, but TimeCamp made the most amount of sense for us at the time. It has …
Chose TimeCamp
TimeCamp is distinctive and virtuous because it provides a flexible payment system with a free plan to make it even more attractive, it simply provides the essential
Chose TimeCamp
At the time, TimeCamp had the best features for free time tracking. Its features have only improved over time so I have not looked elsewhere.
Chose TimeCamp
I am a satisfied user of TimeCamp due to many reasons including its advanced kind of performance. TimeCamp also offers an attendance module that fully automates employee presence as well as absence management which for me is quite beneficial and has made my life simpler. It is …
Chose TimeCamp
I had to use Teamwork Projects for tracking time previously but it lacks some important features. However, TimeCamp is well-designed software. This helps to understand things easily, clear tracking resulting in managing time properly. It is easy to use, easy to set up which …
Chose TimeCamp
Our journey to finding TimeCamp did not lead us to any competitors. When I first started my SEO company I was tracking everything by hand and that worked fine until I started building a team. I was already using Trello and preferred not to change so we began by looking at add …
Chose TimeCamp
I explored Toggl, and my financial software Harpoon (which I love) also provides time tracking. But, I've yet to have a strong reason to leave TimeCamp, and the alternatives I researched before choosing it were not as good. In a moment when I thought about switching, the value …
Chose TimeCamp
I used and checked a few kinds of software like TimeCamp, yet I could not get productivity as much as what TimeCamp gave me and my organization. When we used other software we had always been faced with different kinds of problems like update problems, invoice problems, and …
Chose TimeCamp
I used 2 kinds of software before using Timecamp but what I saw on Timecamp is that it is easy to use and not expensive like other programs. Also,Timecamp does not pressure us to get our money since payment methods are specific and on time.
Chose TimeCamp
Firstly Timecamp is working with different other software like Podio and Trello and these tools are also useful. It took a long time to find an application for tracking and prioritizing time, and when we decided to purchase Timecamp, we did not have any regrets. It takes a …
Chose TimeCamp
As I mentioned before, time is the most necessary thing and you have to use it more wisely, if you don't you will be lost in deadlines. That's why I choose Timecamp and bring it to my company. Timecamp is kinda most important program that every company must have it for their …
Chose TimeCamp
TimeCamp has the absolute smallest impact on my PC's performance and that's a huge plus. I never even realize it's running. The "widget" is barely noticeable and is the least intrusive one that maintains a visible presence. Some apps, like ActivTrak have no visible indicator at …

Likelihood to Recommend
Calamari should work fine for Small to Medium Businesses that want to keep track of their personnel's leave of absence, especially if they have different rules based on location, experience, etc. It also works adequately to allow for PTO to be approved based on a specific org structure (manager, then HR, etc).

Cons
  • It is overly efficient in terms of completing the activities and objectives set.
  • For current labor issues, we can rely on everything included in the compensation package.

  • TimeCamp is a little bit expensive. It needs overall improvement in all tools. Moreover, the mobile version is not as useful as the web version of TimeCamp.
  • Other than that, customer service needs more attention and requires more improvement.
  • Also, I feel like that if there are more features of TimeCamp then it would be better.

Support Rating
Working with my rep is so easy and has been the selling point on this platform. I like that I don't have to think about it much, love the Slack integrations for my team and how easy it was to transition from our old process into Calamari. It's simple, clear, and for a small team, it has everything I need. The customer support team has always responded promptly when I need anything, and we were even able to extend our trial period in the beginning and converted to a paying customer shortly after.

I am giving support a rating of 8 but that is quite arbitrary. Honestly, we have never had the need to contact support for any reason. There has not been a situation where we became stuck and could not figure out how to work through it. Sign up was easy and billing is like clockwork so there has been no need to contact billing support. I think this is a testament to the ease of use of TimeCamp.

  • Boosted employee productivity.

  • The most positive impact it has had is that we are able to accurately track our clients billed time. This has streamlined our process giving us a more efficient system.
  • One thing that timecamp can do is track computer time that is non billed time. This allow us to see where time is being wasted which does have a direct effect on out ROI.
