It's been positive. We've had a relationship with eDays for over a decade. Problems have been resolved smoothly and quickly and they are good to deal with.

Pros

It takes a process that needs to be done and does it well. It's a simple tool that managed absences

Cons

The version we are on (admittedly we have not migrated) does not have great connectivity to other services. Having seen a demo of the new version, this is fully resolved.

The support has been great. Jenny has helped with all my inquiries in a timely manner and have had a training session which she managed to meet all the needs.

Pros

Cons

Isn't easy to navigate. Sometimes the how to guide takes you to places that i didn't have set up and didn't show the alternative route

Excellent support from the on-boarding team, it was very easy to get our company up and running. Whenever we have had a question, the product support team have been able to solve it within a few hours

Pros

Simple to use, every user finds it intuitive to use and as a manager provides crystal clear overview of everyones absenteeism

Cons

No real issue.
Understanding part-time rotas took a bit of time and some additional support videos would be helpful in this area

Over as a business we have been happy using Edays. Would recommend for any business solely looking to track all absences, WFH and those who have multi-sites.

Pros

The system has a lot of built in features and add ons that can be added and customised by the user as and when needed.

Cons

The way in which to 'switch on' certain features isn't always done in the most obvious way, which is made up for by [sensitive content hidden] who will always give speedy responses to help out with functionalities

It is easier to track absences, not just for a particular employee, but for the entire population. We're able to see how many planned absences will occur, so we can put measures into place, employees are able to book time offs and await approvals. It has definitely saved time.

Pros

- It is user friendly and the support portal is very efficient and effective, and the support team works to fulfill ticket requests in a very short time so as to prevent any consequences from occurring.- Reports are extremely easy to pull and aid in the decision making process.

Cons

Entitlements feature wasn't the easiest to navigate once an employee was already added. However, support as previously mentioned, support is readily available.

Response from edays Absence Management

Hi Gytana,

Pros

Cons

Every company should have a system like this

Reviewed on 19/08/2022

Pros

Even though I’m self employed the company that I work for needs to keep track of my absences so I use edays. It’s very used to see the whole year and get to have a clear picture of everyone’s holidays so no one clashes with each other.

Cons

Edays doesn’t let you book holidays with less than 14 days notice - I think. But that’s actually a great idea so the companies have time to find cover

Response from edays Absence Management

Hi Vanessa, thank you for your review! We are glad that you enjoy using edays!
The good news is that it sounds like you just need to amend one of your settings to improve your experience with edays!
Please email [email protected] for support with amending the settings that is requiring the 14 days notice for holidays. Thanks again!

As an HR Business Partner, I am having a positive experience with edays so far. I comply with our legal obligations. It gives me and all our employees a better visibility on our absences and more autonomy to plan our holidays. Using edays has improved data quality for HR and Payroll. It is now much easier to move from one holiday period to another.

Pros

Edays is a flexible and a user-friendly application. What I like with Edays is the ability to adjust to a local legal obligation. I appreciate calendar and the holiday balances in real time. This feature gives our employees more visibility and autonomy to manage their absences. The Customer service is available and very reactive.

Cons

I do not see major cons. The challenge would be to create an interface with our HR Management System.

Hi Jean Louis,
Thank you for such a glowing and detailed review of our software! We're delighted to hear that the switch to edays improved flexibility and visibility for you and your team, and that it's helped you to better manage absences.
