Pros

“The software allows me to manage my teams objectives against a time line, as well as allowing my team to view all comments and add their own.”
JC

Julian C.

Accounts Payable Manager

“It’s extremely useful for safely storing important employee records such as right-to-work documents and DBS checks, and it helps ensure nothing is missed by tracking expiry dates.”
GB

Georgia-Beth M.

HR Assistant

“It’s a solid HR platform for managing employee records, recruitment, and day-to-day HR processes, especially for growing companies looking for an all-in-one solution”
WR

Will R.

SR HR Operations Specialist

Pros

“The interface is intuitive once you get familiar with it, and team collaboration is much smoother with everything centralized in one place.”
SA

Sama A.

Head of Product Development

“It offers great value, performs reliably, and keeps our team aligned and organized.”
SA

Sama A.

Head of Product Development

“In five years we've encountered very few bugs, and the platform has been consistently stable and reliable.”
YA

Yusr A.

Key Account Manager

Cons

“We primarily use it in a core, administrative capacity rather than as a platform that enables or enhances our HR strategy. While it is usable, it does not stand out in terms of user experience, flexibility, or innovation.”
WB

William B.

Head of HR

“However, the limitations in reporting can be frustrating—particularly when more advanced or multi‑layered data is needed. While it works well for straightforward tasks, the lack of flexibility in generating detailed or combined queries holds the system back from being fully effective for more complex HR reporting needs.”
AG

Avani G.

HR Administrator

“Some features can feel limited or not very intuitive, and reporting/customisation options aren’t always as flexible as needed, which can make more complex tasks a bit frustrating.”
YA

Youssef A.

Compliance Officer

Cons

“One area that is a bit frustrating is when having to send new credentials out to employees, you have to delete them first then resend resend.”
TB

Tami B.

Office manager

“Routinely fails to save input information making me have to review everything numerous times, save a draft outside of the tool in case of failure.”

Carl F.

Strategy Director

“Haven't yet figured out a way to differentiate between paid vacation time vs unpaid vacation time, they both seem to drop down the total balance.”
