Thanks for all the positive comments.

We have many companies/organisations using WhosOff with over 50 users. Currently the biggest has +170 !
By using departments is becomes very easy to manage these sorts of numbers.

Interface is good, but there are number of fuctionality is missing. Good for small companies with 5 to 25 employees.

I was looking for a product like this a while ago but didn’t have any luck - I would prefer something in house though, possibly through exchange without using group calendars. Anyone have any ideas? Similar product that is hosted locally?

Google should add this to google apps and have it sync with the individual calendars. It cannot be a big deal for them.

Plenty of the Fortune 1000 who try to track vacation at the manager-employee level even if they have a Peoplesoft like system enterprise wide.

Looks like a good product for all, but the wrong pricing strategy to attract big companies.

Much better if they take a 37 Signals/web 2.0 pricing approach, where it’s free for up to 10 users (perfect for SME’s) and then charges a $1/user/year with a few extra features included for bigger companies. And who says marketing isn’t as important as development?

This seems like one big HIPAA liability.

Interesting product. Just one question though. How many SMEs would be comfortable with storing this information online with a third party provider? Especially since this is free, which means that the normal service provider - consumer relationship (and the legal protection that comes with it) doesnt exist.
Any thoughts?

Shouldn’t this functionality be included in some kind of Outlook view .. and using an ICAL sync .. it would be just part of your std calendar product.

It is a good simple idea and the market is definitely big enough for this product. Only large organisations have this type of facility that can be pushed to all staff members.

I am surprised they are not charigng for it.

Very interesting from the perspective that a solution like this was considered “enterprise”. Obviously the lines between “consumer free” and enterprise are getting blurred.
Adoption will be interesting because who is going to push for this in company, large or small? HR/Finance, certainly not the employees since they like to accure their vacation.
Line managers will certainly not be the early adopters, it’s not their issue, which this seems aimed at.
Bottom-line, good luck, to you guys, it certainly is a good problem to solve from a vacation accural liability issue.

This seems like an amazing application. Managing staff is incredibly difficult, especially when it comes to managing an entire office and ensuring that there are enough hands on deck during peak holiday seasons.

I’ve had to manage staff before so I saw the use in it, if you’ve never managed staff you won’t, which is fair enough
