Simple and does what we need

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.

Pros

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

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

Not the right fit for a small SA team

The system is fine, the value is not. We could not justify the renewal for what we actually use.

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.

So glad we moved to it

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

Tidy and reliable

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