Pros
Very positive I love the way it is presented and the support team are always there to help.
Good features (nhs update is great) easy to use, updates and videos are helpful.
Very easy to set up and use and good value for money. We had more of a manual process in place previously and edays has improved services a lot.
Cons
Sometimes doesn't automate simple things but this may be more my lack of technological no how.
The system can be confusing to use if staff have a varying weekly work pattern.
I do find the reporting function is not as intuitive. When trying to run a report for the first time it is sometime difficult to select the correct filters.

Simplicity

Reviewed a year ago

It is simple to use for both administrators, authorisers and employeesIt is hard to imagine not using it ... it's a great package

Pros

Setting up the spreadsheet for the data upload was straight forward and a "once only" taskYou then have all relevant information in one place

Cons

I would like support to be immediate, but who doesn't want thatHowever, you can mark it up from critical (system issues) to not so critical, and they do have a number of training seminars that you can access later and FAQ's

Vendor response

Hi Susan, Thank you for the great review! We're glad that you find the system easy to use and that you're able to get extra help and resources when needed. Kind regards edays

From an admin perspective

Reviewed 5 years ago

Great support! The system requires a lot of monitoring as things often change or appears suddenly in our portal. It is very time consuming as we need to contact support every time. I believe that instructions on the fundamental admin features and settings/permissions where lacking completely in the implementation phase. We have tried "closed the gaps" along the way as we have no knowledge about how to ensure that the different countries settings are completely kept separate from each other. But I still believe that it is not 100% correct yet.

Pros

Very easy to use and covers most features needed

Cons

It creates a lot of issues when a group of different companies in different countries share the same portal/platform as the different local settings very frequently impacts other settings in the system. E.g. when a setting on the German template is changed, something suddenly changes on the Danish settings e.g. the German absence types appear on Danish users dashboard.

A great tool, We have now rolled out to further countries. All users have given positive feedback. I am looking forward to learning more about the background system so I can continue to support my colleagues world wide.

Pros

Easy to book, simple and quick. User friendly

Cons

As an Admin using the background panel can be a little tricky to navigate

Vendor response

Thank you for your feedback Sian. Towards the end of this year we are looking to totally revamp our admin panel. We would love to get your input on what changes could be made to improve the user experience. Please get in touch if you are interested in contributing your thoughts.

I have now used this product in 2 organisation - still the best on the market! :)

Reviewed a year ago

We have 7 different shift patterns and it allows with ease to have them all monitored in one place for HR. AND the Bradford Factor we have on is in every employees "face" for them to see what points they have for absences.

Pros

Everything! :) its functions are perfect for our organisation with the many shifts and staffing

Cons

Not being able to put on retrospectively when staff forget or managers forget to authorise

Vendor response

Hi Carol, Thank you for the great review! We're so pleased to hear that you and your employees enjoy using edays, and that it's allowed you to centralise all your absence management. Kind regards edays

Ease of use with e-days

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

The simple book time off feature that stands out when first accessing the e-days homepage is a key feature for users to quickly book in holiday or their planning for the week/month in advance.

Cons

Occasional long loading times when submitting leave and the loading of the group calendar when trying to view all users calendar for the month.

Vendor response

Thank you for your feedback Matt. We are glad to hear edays has helped simplify booking leave and planning work in advance. Wherever possible we work to improve instances of long loading time.
