Not worth the money for us

We paid a lot and used a fraction of it. Too much of the product assumes a US setup and support could not bridge the gap.

It looked polished, I will give it that.

Far too expensive for what a small business here actually uses.

Clean and easy to use

We used to keep everything in spreadsheets and folders. Now all our employee records, leave and documents sit in one place and the team can help themselves.

Happy overall

We have been on it about a year and it runs well. The price is the only thing that makes me pause.

Everything in one place at last

The time off side alone was worth it. No more long email chains just to approve a day of leave.

Clean and easy to use

Onboarding a new starter used to eat a whole day of admin. Now most of it runs itself before they even walk in.

Simple and does what we need

Rolled it out to about 60 staff and the feedback has been great. People find it easy and I get my time back.

Worth it despite the price

It covers the core HR admin nicely. A few features are more built for the US than for us here.
