I would say most useful for organization and individuals. Integrations with other applications. > > **Cons**: I would like to explore and use more days. ----- ### "Really the best most modern approach to an HR leaves app" — 4.0/5 > **Deepak** | *10 April 2023* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's so simply designed, easy to use and understand. The design and look are really on point. The Slack integration is the best thing about it, it makes life easier without having to use the HR portal again and again to check whether leaves have been approved, who is on leave, etc. > > **Cons**: The thing I didn't like was that it's not a comprehensive HR tool for people like me. I have to use this app for leaves, and another for other functions like tax proofs, etc. So I'd rather want to use a comprehensive app that does everything. Also, I'm not sure whether I can apply for leaves on slack itself, without having to go to the website. That would be great if possible. > > It's really a very unique experience for me with respect to such apps. It's something I'd miss if I go to another company. Really nice and intuitive, more companies should use this app. ----- ### "Good" — 3.0/5 > **Pranjal** | *7 April 2023* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Managing the leaves and holidays is very good in pause > > **Cons**: Pause is very slow as compared to others. When. we open the calendar it takes ages to open. ----- ### "Best for Leave management" — 5.0/5 > **Aniket** | *6 April 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Before the pause, my company use excel sheet which is too hectic to manage. And when ever i need to apply for the leave i have to mail each of my manager, and some time I forgot to add on mail, but where in pause just we need to configure the the list whom to notify only once. Afterword every thing work so smooth. > > **Cons**: Ever time i have to login the website, even i had login on the same day on the same machine. i think u should implement the refresh session feature.Responsiveness of website is not so good. ----- ### "Pause- the convenient and economic employees tracking software" — 5.0/5 > **Huzefa** | *31 March 2023* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pause has been proved of utmost importance and efficiency to our organisation . Its Leave Tracking and Leave Approvals Control feature provides clear cut summary of the leaves taken by the employees and which ones are approved and which ones are not. Secondly the Employee Profiles Database maintained by it helps effectively in easily accessing to any if employees’ profile anytime. With its simplicity in the Dashboard, it provides its users ( employees) an easy and almost no time taking access to their desired tasks which makes it more effective and efficient. > > **Cons**: The only thing i disliked about Pause is it does not provides any feature to maintain and process Payroll for the employees which could make it a one whole completed Software for any company so that one doesn’t need to integrate any other software with this one. > > My Overall experience with Pause is just amazing, easy to access and much effective and efficient as according to me its Pros are much more heavier than its only few Cons. ----- Page: 1 / 15\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2043715/pause?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2043715/pause) ## 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 | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
