Too many pieces of software try to be a catch-all, often leaving UX as an afterthought. Because the product is streamlined, it really considers all aspect of PTO and is therefore great at it. > > **Cons**: The way the product looks could be updated but that is purely cosmetic. I will take accuracy, speed, and functionality over looks. ----- ### "A great decision" — 5.0/5 > **Eileen** | *18 May 2023* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Time our has given our team the ability to request and track their PTO, in the past they were unable to do so > > **Cons**: We don't take full advantage of what TimeOut has to offer, I can say that we have had no issues or complaints > > The ease of getting this program up and running still impresses me, it is simple to use and our team is so happy with it. Support has been amazing. ----- ### "CWS Review" — 3.0/5 > **Kim** | *18 August 2023* | Wholesale | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Updated calendar displaying all of our employee's TimeOut. > > **Cons**: Ability to make changes to entry after submission, including type (Vacation, PTO) and how much (Hours) > > It's made vacation scheduling easier.We've experienced challenges with employee review process in Noteworthy, hopefully when these are "distributed" this year works properly. ----- ### "Great low cost option to track PTO" — 4.0/5 > **Maura** | *25 July 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's price and ease of use for both staff and the admin > > **Cons**: It is sensitive to date ranges. If I enter an end date of 7/21 it is glitchy and doesn't allow staff to choose 7/20. ----- ### "CWS system tracks our time away" — 4.0/5 > **gordon** | *10 August 2023* | Government Administration | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: the system is very easy to use. it meets our needs to process days away from the office > > **Cons**: We do not have a 1 to 1 way to export out of into our main system > > It tracks our days away very well ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/104273/timeout?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.za.com/software/104273/timeout) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
