Few errors happening from time to time > > It's a useful tool helping in everyday office work as a administrator and easy tool for user to control their working ours and holidays. ----- ### "highly positive experience for users" — 4.0/5 > **Victoria** | *12 May 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: a plug-in in the Teams application that allows you to add presence without going into additional applications > > **Cons**: extracting information, creating reports without taking notes into account.

The platform is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for employees and managers to navigate and utilize its features effectively. One of the standout aspects of Calamari is its seamless integration with other solutions. Calamari integrates smoothly, enhancing productivity and streamlining workflows.

After evaluating several tools, Calamari proved to be much better, although there is still room for improvement. ----- Page: 1 / 25\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/141217/calamari?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/141217/calamari) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | da | | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fi | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nb | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
