Pros and cons

Very easy to use and super intuitive with a great user interface.
Being able to have a bird's-eye view of who is out of office is incredibly helpful and a great way to keep track of everyone.
Love how the platform is continually improving as time goes.
There is no option for employees to submit time off for "unpaid leave", so then you cannot track that they are out of office. There is no place to manage notifications from the kiwiHR platform.
Vacation Planning is a mess especially if you deal with not full time working people or not 8h days. The Use of absent times is limited because they are not quite flexible.
The missing integration to other HR tools for reporting to accountant.

All Information In One Place

Reviewed 3 years ago

This was the first time that I used software from this type of softwares and it made it easier for me in many tasks in my job.

Pros

This Software facilitates the arrangement and collection of employee information in one place in an organized manner. All data can be easily synced with Microsoft Outlook, iCal, or Google Calendar.

Cons

Employees can submit their vacations for review, rather than trying to do it all.

Vendor response

Hi Ahmad, thank you for your review. Could you explain us a bit more what the negative aspect about the current absence management is? Our support is always happy to show you around our customizable option. Just drop us a line at hello@kiwihr.com and we can have a look together.

All you need for HR is there

Reviewed 5 years ago

Switched to kiwi after trying numerous other apps. The team found it easy, migrated our data painlessly.

Pros

Easy setup Flexible vacations and sick leaves policy Team calendar Responsive support

Cons

Good to have a full-cycle recruitment kit there. Good to have billing not per user but for the team. Eg. 1-5 // 6 - 15 // 20... Good to have customizable reports, cause most of the reports are not used by our team, however there some that we'd like to have.

Vendor response

Dear Artem, Thanks a lot for your valuable feedback. Recruitment and customizable reports are already on our roadmap and will be taken into account for future developments.

Versatile and easy-to-use HR Software

Pros

With kiwiHR you can easily set up and manage your human resources, from employee profiles to their work schedules and attendance. The task and checklist feature simplifies many processes. And kiwiHR offers one of the best customer supports I experienced so far.

Cons

There is nothing I don´t like about the software yet. Even missing features can be requested and will be taken into consideration.

Cons

Currently, there is no API. Overtime calculation could be better.

Pros

It's very intuitivie to use and mostly customizable. Also the price point is very interesting.

Cons

It's only customizable to a certain extent. For some special employee structures (Working students, minijobs) we needed some workarounds. Would be awesome if this gets improved by time.

Growing Platform for a Growing Business

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Being able to have a bird's-eye view of who is out of office is incredibly helpful and a great way to keep track of everyone. Also that employees can submit their own time off for review, rather than one person trying to do it all. The new weekly overview/update emails are great. Love how the platform is continually improving as time goes.

Cons

There is no option for employees to submit time off for "unpaid leave", so then you cannot track that they are out of office. There is no place to manage notifications from the kiwiHR platform. So sometimes email notifications don't come when time off submissions are entered.

Vendor response

Dear Carli, Thank you so much for your feedback! We are glad to hear kiwiHR eases your daily HR admin work. - In order to track "unpaid leave", you can easily create other custom time off types at any time. You can create as many different time off types as you need. - Email notifications are related to role settings. Hope these answers help! If you have any other questions or concerns, you can always reach us using our live chat or schedule an online demo. We truly value sharing your experience with kiwiHR. Your kiwiHR team

Good but needs improvements

Reviewed 5 years ago

Good, but still needs some improvements.

Pros

- Regular Feature Updates - User Feedback to the Developer is respected and results in Feature Update - Good Features that basically work

Cons

- Expecially Timetracking overviews are a bit confusing some times - You need a lot of clicks to Track your time - Vacation Planning is a mess especially if you deal with not full time working people or not 8h days - The Use of absent times is limited because they are not quite flexible. (I cant create a absent type that allows me to nevertheless track work like I want to do at Homeoffice)

Vendor response

Dear Clemens, Thank you for your feedback! In order to make your user experience better, please find the answers to your concerns below: - Time tracking got a lot easier with the latest release, thanks to adapted views and global action buttons. - Moreover, you can always set up different time off policies or work schedules for full and part time employees. - Finally, you can easily mark a specific time off type as "not absence" (e.g. for Homeoffice). If you have any other questions or concerns, you can always reach us using our live chat or schedule an online demo. We truly value sharing your experience with kiwiHR. Your kiwiHR team

Looks good with some room for improvement.

Reviewed 5 years ago

Very cool, it solved the problem of vacation management and time tracking we had split into harvest and leevebot, and always caused confusion and trouble.

Pros

Time tracking and calendar feeds with integrated vacation management.

Cons

Calendar feeds for birthdays would be nice (or did i overlook that) The employee data share is nice, but to replace our dropbox we need the possibility to upload multiple files at once, and have files which are only visible to the employer. The inventory is cool, but there should be at least one column for category which can be filtered to keep an overview. Also it would be nice to have a separate field for when a key has been given to an employee or better an out and in date for inventory so keys can be inventory. Also an import for harvest time tracking would have been nice.

Vendor response

Dear Tobias, Thanks for your feedback! - Calendar feed for birthdays is already available, you might have missed it ;) - Extending the document and inventory management feature is something we have on our roadmap for the upcoming year. Nevertheless, we will be happy to forward your feature requests to our product team. We truly value sharing your experience with kiwiHR. Your kiwiHR team

Easy, quick and smart tool

Reviewed 6 years ago

Easy and powerful.

Pros

Loved how easy it was to navigate the tool and everyone got the hang of it pretty quickly. The vacation planning in this tool is outstanding! It allowed me to limit vacation days per employee type, expiration date and decide if my employees could take their vacation days on to the next year. It also notified me when two different people could not take vacation at the same time when approving a request. Pretty smart tool!

Cons

So far I didn’t have any issues when using it.

Fehler werden wissentlich nicht behoben, Support braucht Wochen

Reviewed 6 months ago

Die Software ist unausgereift und läuft nicht stabil.

Pros

Schöne, schnelles User-Interface. Eigentlich übersichtlich, würden die angezeigten Daten stimmen.

Cons

Grundfunktionen fehlen entweder ganz (zB Importieren) oder sind fehlerhaft. Der Support findet nur per E-Mail statt und braucht Wochen (!) für eine Antwort. Die berichteten Fehler sind dem Anbieter bekannt aber werden nicht behoben bzw. können scheinbar nicht behoben werden.
