Great for a small HR team

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

Pros

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.

Makes HR admin so much easier

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

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

Our team actually enjoys using it

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

Too costly for our needs

It looks great but we are paying a premium for features that do not suit a UK business.
