Pros

“Its modular pricing meant we could start small and scale without needing extensive team training, while the flawless integrations with tools like Slack completely eliminated the daily interruptions. But yes, the initial setup is pretty complex and global leave accrual policies required a bit of patience.”
AM

Ananya M.

HR Administrator

“It’s important to remember that this isn't a full-scale HR system, so if you're hoping for built-in payroll processing or performance review modules, we still need separate software to handle those tasks.”
AM

Ananya M.

HR Administrator

“we started with just the leave management module to get our global PTO and regional holidays under control before scaling up to attendance.”

Pros

“Transparency of the tool - easy to find what you are looking for as a user and as an admin.”
MN

Magdalena N.

HR Generalist

“Simple to use, when introducing new employees to the system it is very self explanatory which makes it easier for both parties. Since connecting with an account manager, we have found out ways to utilise the system even more e.g. setting up workflows, so the system does work well in my opinion.”
HB

Holly B.

HR and Recruitment Coordinator

“It offers greater capabilities than I am using and thanks to our rep, he is patient, knowledgeable and provides great service!”
MS

McKeisha S.

HR LEADER

Cons

“not enough developed module with projects, lack of option to add detailed tasks - we need it sometimes for specific projects”
EP

Ewelina P.

Head of Administration and Operations

“Some features are limited unless you add different packages, which could be frustrating for growing companies who are trying to determine which features they want/need”
AH

Alex H.

Director of Operations

“It is not easy on the administrator side to add an employee's total vacation days for the entire year.”
JF

Jordan F.

Operations

Cons

“It has many functions that I am not tapping into and not always seamless in navigating the tool if you don't use it often.”
MS

McKeisha S.

HR LEADER

“the reporting I find hit and miss, and trial and error usually to obtain the information.”
TB

Tracy B.

Executive Assistant

“The backend is not as user friendly as the front end.”
