Asure Time & Attendance vs. Calamari

AsureForce Time would work well for a company with a large volume of non-exempt staff, but the workforce would have to have very simplistic needs. Complex business rules and structure wouldn't be accommodated well by this solution.

Calamari is constantly striving to account for and provide useful, practical, and simple solutions to its employees that everyone can use without significant inconvenience. Always seeking to be in an active business environment that allows them to manage the various labor policies that exist in each region and company where they work.

Incentivized

• The sync functionality between the clocks and the software, particularly the new clocks, is a plus.
• The Asure support team is very responsive.

Incentivized

• Complex rules to define each team member's PTO allowance.
• Overview of remaining allowance and when it is has been requested for.
• Easy login options.

Incentivized

• The way the business rules are set up doesn't lend itself to easily supporting our specific business/users.
• The software doesn't interface with our HR/payroll solution as well as I'd hoped.

Incentivized

• Lack of a mobile app.
• A little tricky at first to use.
• Need HR-friendly features to add.

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.

This product was selected well before I began with my company, and we'll actually be moving off of it soon to Ultimate Software's time & attendance solution.

Incentivized

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 management for your company. We're loving it!

Incentivized

• We spend a lot of time internally on support and set up. Part of this is due to how the software was made and part is due to how our business is structured and changes frequently.
• We are able, though, to scale on top of it easily when we open new locations.

Incentivized

• It is quick and simple to provide application training to employees.
• When there are problems with the connection, it is possible to record that the user does not mark their exit or accounts for extra time.
