Our team actually enjoys using it

It just feels friendly to use. Even the staff who normally hate software got the hang of it in a day.

The self service is the winner for me. Staff update their own details, book leave and grab their documents without coming to my desk.

Cons

The reporting covers the basics but I sometimes want to slice the data in ways it will not let me.

Clean and easy to use

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

So glad we moved to it

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.

Good HR system with a couple of gaps

Happy with it. Self service and onboarding save real time even if setup took a bit of thought.

It is easy on the eye and easy to learn, which really matters when you roll it out to people who are not techy.

Cons

Payroll is not really built for the United Kingdom so we run that side separately.

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