The notifications that team members receive are especially useful, and the reporting for managers is great as well. There's also a web dashboard with a summary of registered leaves and a calendar which you can subscribe to (on Google Calendar for example). It's really easy to set up custom attendance policies in the dashboard, and you can also customize monthly limits and allowances. > > **Cons**: We found no issues so far. There aren't really any features that we're missing. > > The app fits all our needs perfectly. The communication with the customer support was excellent with very quick response times. We needed to set monthly limits for different leave types and they were quick to help us set up this feature in a matter of days. If you need to manage your leaves inside Slack, I absolutely recommend Spock. ----- ### "Great for compiling leave requests and tracking in one\!" — 4.0/5 > **Amanda** | *24 March 2023* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Integration with slack, tracking leave automatically > > **Cons**: The calendar view was not that appealing - we have better features in Notion for this that work better for our company. > > Overall good with some room for improvement\! ----- ### "Easy absence management in SaaS company" — 5.0/5 > **Toma** | *2 August 2020* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: UI/UX experience, balance between price and quality, admin panel, customer support, functionality and easy integration > > **Cons**: I do not know if SPock will be able to adapt to growing company.
