## Reviews

### "Great at what it does" — 4.0/5

> **Steve** | *20 March 2020* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Versatile yet easy to pick up. The edays staff support are great\!" — 5.0/5

> **Jennie** | *6 June 2024* | Pharmaceuticals | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The system is very versatile and the online guides are great for training staff to use edays.&#10;Easy to learn and adapt to the company needs.
> 
> **Cons**: The app limitations doesn't allow staff to declare on the self-cert form.
> 
> Fantastic support from day one. Initial setup and handover was very smooth and simple to pick up.&#10;Any issues that have arisen have been dealt with quickly and competently. All the edays team are friendly and knowledgeable.

-----

### "Review on Edays" — 4.0/5

> **Mariam** | *12 August 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: User-Friendly Interface&#10;Mobile Accessibility&#10;Customizable Absence Types
> 
> **Cons**: 1. The interface is user-friendly but it would be good to have a separate field where managers would see pending approvals, not in the Ring notification tab which is very small and almost invisible and contains other notifictions as well. &#10;2. No possibility to export the leaves as an excel file.
> 
> Very pleased with the usage of the platform during the year. I also liked the quick replies to my questions and concerns. But I am very displeased with contract renewal policies. Edays is not customer-oriented.

-----

### "Edays" — 5.0/5

> **Ged** | *16 November 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The service provide users with a new modern multi-platform solution for managing leave and provides new capabilities for managers to visualise all of their team members leave requests. Edays is be hosted in the ‘cloud’ and accessible from all our corporate that have an internet connection using Single Sign On (SSO).
> 
> **Cons**: There were essentially only two main issues. Firstly, out of the box Edays was unable to work with the sheer number of different rota patterns in HSE (over 500). However, with close collaboration and a degree of re-tooling, we successfully overcame this. Second, we had to work with Edays to make the application function for adaptive equipment users (JAWS/Dragon etc.), in so far as these users / line managers, were able to book and approve leave. Edays have were encouraged to seek and achieve WCAG accreditation.
> 
> Very, very positive\! Edays has been well received by end users, with overwhelmingly positive feedback and has been formally accepted into service.

-----

### "Excellent" — 4.0/5

> **Sam** | *5 October 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The time submission feature is great we have been able to go paperless on timesheets since we had this feature added.
> 
> **Cons**: Alerts to sickness trigger points so we can be reminded when meetings need to take place
> 
> Excellent - The customer support is great. The team listen to what customers want and implement these to support your company. Employees find it easy to use and love that it can be used on their mobiles. Being able to reach other platforms we use through the e-days is a really good feature so employee only have to go to one place.
