overall the experience is great, and whenever I have any doubt the customer happiness team is super fast on solving it.
- time of requests - org chart - visibility of calendars
- adding aditional policies - temporary contracts
Hi Lali, Thanks for the review! This is super great for us and we have really enjoyed getting to know you and the team! I'm going to give you a call because you CAN add new policies ;) Furthermore, I will let you in on some secrets from the development team with new features coming very shortly Lee

Reports and graphs that helped me analyze employee trends.
It's simplicity has made it very easy for new learners to understand how to operate it effectively thus ensuring proper employee management. It is also able to generate relevant employee reports thus making really good.
I have not witnessed any cons during the period that I have used the software. For me it's the best HR management software for small businesses.

An 'at a glance' snapshot of vacation, sick and lieu time.
When managing others, getting to the snapshot (above) is a bit convoluted
Dear Jennifer, Thank you for sharing your experience! We can arrange a call at the time of your convenience and go through the things that still seems unclear. I'll get back to you :) With thanks, Viktorija

Really helpful team who respond quickly to queries on the Helpdesk.
Great piece of software for managing our remote team. All on-boarding documents are stored, holidays are applied for and tracked and everyone can update their own information cutting down on admin time.
None, only issue we have is with some of our team having one pot of leave for all their entitlement and it being difficult to run reports on.

Cake is a great tool to manage an office. Since we have started using it we have nothing but great experiences with it. The support team is great and very quick to respond. I wish I required more of its functionality because it would make my life that much easier! I would definitely recommend it.
Ease of use, user interface, support. All around it is a great product.
I wish some of the reports were more customized to what I need but it is quite minor and I can get by without it very easily.

Tracking employee vacations is the best part for me.
Simple design and the ability to allow the employee to enter their own days off for approval. It's one more task I don't have to think much about. It just happens keeps up with it all.
A few things have been hard to find. When we first started using it, I thought to locate where things were was a little complicated. We navigate it pretty well now.
Many thanks for your review, Tonya! We're always updating our UI and UX based on your experience. We want CakeHR to be as efficient to use as possible - for any level of user. We'll continue to improve and make sure you're making the most out of all the features easily.

Working with the CakeHR system is really great. First, you don't have to go through a tedious and time-consuming training since this tool is very intuitive and you learn very quickly how to use all of its features. Besides its user-friendliness, it is also a very efficient and powerful system which includes all the tools that are essential. To sum up: a fantastic tool I would highly recommend!

Thanks Wasseem! It is great to hear that not only do we have the right tools and features but also the user-experience is on point too! We aim to increase this week by week with little touches but it is something that we hear a lot of. Sometimes, you just have to trawl through pages to find what you are looking for - with CakeHR, you have it all in no more than 2 clicks away. Glad to have you with us!

Each employee can do their own thing and supervisors can manage nice for if you have various branches
It calculates leave in a strange way and added transactions to certain employee accounts for no reason
Hi Riette! Many thanks for the feedback. We keep all transactions available for you to view incase any policy settings or allowances have changed. If you need help understanding the reports, I'm on hand to help out and make sure your employees' balances are accurate.

no more excel for vacation/time off planning
- mobile an desktop version available - free customizable regarding all relevant time off policies and durations - easy to use for users - fast and professional support
- admin features are somehow hard to find - they a positioned on different levels - date picker is by drop down only available for the following 6 months, would not harm to have it all year

Mainly the fact that the employee filing system is easy to manage and incredibly organized. Makes things easier.
Mobile application is not as functional as it should be. There's a lot of HR material that I would love to upload and refer to via cake
Thanks, Anthony! I'd love to get your opinion on the HR material you'd like to upload. I'll set up a call with you next week to make sure we're improving our solution for your needs

I count see all the information in the google calendar, this was great, we can centralized all the information in the simple way and public for everyone.
It's useful and easy to understand. The implementation was very fast.
In some section you don't have space for details information, for example, only have Notes, but you can't change the name, and sometimes is important to categorised some information.

The ease of use with CakeHR is great! Our employees are finding it very easy to do the tasks assigned and the onboarding and offboarding task lists are working very well for us.
I would like to be able to print out our organizational chart; unfortunately when Ilona tried to help me with this, it just ends up too small. She was a great help though!

We were looking for a simple and easy to use, online HR, system to start managing a growing team. We came across CakeHR and haven't looked back. Best of all, the support is excellent. Every time we've had a query or problem is solved right then and there and we can get back to work. We're very happy.
Support Ease of use
Lacking a few features
Thank you for your honest review, Gary! Keeping looking forward! We are - especially as we have mammoth sized modules being released this year.

We are happy, thank you guys :)
We needed a software that work with the difficult legal system in Hungary. This one was capable of connecting our Time-sheet´s to the Leave Requests perfectly
Some functions are missing. The Company structure is not flexible enough for multinational companies and the folder structure has only one level. No sub folders are possible

It has been several months of using Cakehr and all i can say is that i really really love the system. Very easy to use, has reduced our paperwork and printing costs especially since employees request for their leave online, onboarding is so much easier now that each of the us knows what is expected of them when a new employee arrives. I CANNOT fail to mention how happy we were when cakehr(Lee) allowed us to use the system free of charge in November and Dec 2016 since our budget didn't allow us to pay then. In addition, they discounted 2017 subscription by 2 months!!! Why should i shopped anywhere else when cakehr has been this good!!! Sadly though, am yet to settle 2017 subscription but i endeavor to very soon. Thank you Cakehr!

We use the app on a regular basis to submit and approve days off for the staff. The app has always been easy to use!
I have been hoping to see the added benefit of reviews. I know you're working on it, just excited to see it and hopefully use it!
Hi Steve! We are working on it! How about I set up a call and get your opinion? We can look into rolling it out to EideCom employees at the start of 2018!

The app allows us to manage employees on the go, accessible and we can keep track of schedules for our daily operations. We can monitor their daily tasks on this app. It is user friendly and convenient for us business owners.
None. I like it that employee handling is made possible without using much paper and we can access it everywhere.

Our scout for the best product stopped after we found cake.hr. It's the best value for money product out there. Couple that with best customer support, your search for a HR software ends there. Obviously they need to quickly load it with more features that are essential, but I do see these guys moving in that direction
value for money
Only 60-70% of the required features are out there
Hi Kiruba! I'm really that, not only you found CakeHR but that you believe in us and we're moving in the right direction. We've got loads planned for this year including Performance Review, Scheduling, ATS and Expenses. It is going to be massive! I would love to see that percentage in your review drop dramatically ;)

CakeHR needs to expand its features to make it suitable for growing teams. It could also use more features adding to its applications.
Thanks Tyler! We've just released a brand new version of the mobile application that brings the desktop solution to you whilst on-the-go!

Pro - nice centralized system. Easy to add time off for various reasons. Con - terminated employee records are not archived - they are deleted (not good if payout is disputed) - no warning given if approving a request for time off for an employee who is over their accrued time off entitlement

Hey Sarah! Thank you very much for your review and it is great you give balanced feedback - in any case, it helps us provide an excellent app and service to you. I will be contacting you personally to introduce you to the features that may not be clear to you right now - but they are there :) I will also use the opportunity to understand more of what you would like to see in the application too as that would be a great UX help for everybody!
