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!

Tem sido uma ótima experiência de uso, o Sage HR me ajudou a simplificar e automatizar várias tarefas relacionadas à gestão de pessoal, contribuindo para o sucesso da empresa.
O que mais tem me impressionado é que a plataforma otimizou o controle de pessoal de forma incrível. Fiquei surpreso com a diversidade de ferramentas, desde criação de perfis de funcionários até análise de dados estratégicos.
De inicio achei um pouco difícil, mas logo me adaptei ao programa.

Integration with a slack channel is the most amazing thing and also availability in play store and app store markets
I think this app doesn't have cons. Sometimes the page is freezing but is not a big deal in my opinion. Also, the mobile app is very stable.
Thanks Ionut! We love the Slack integration too! Knowing who is out of office and when even before you have hit the office!

No geral tem sido uma excelente experiência, produto muito bom.
Foi extremamente simples de usar e localizar todas as características essenciais e dados necessários. Além disso, gostei bastante a sua habilidade de automatizar e simplificar operações de gestão de pessoal, como registro de frequência, processamento de salários e contratação de funcionários.
Não há nada de negativo a pontuar, apenas gostaria de um layout mais moderno.

As a relatively new user it took me quite a bit of time to figure out where everything was and what features the software offered. The menus are not that intuitive as compared to many other online-based business software packages.
Lots of features
Not intuitively easy to navigate
Thanks Jeff for the honest review! We're always improving the way you use CakeHR and believe that user-ability is a key feature towards building the perfect solution.

Cake is very convenience, when I use 'Time off'
I felt of site is too heavy, So slow refresh speed. If the site have more good speed then to be really good.
Hi Eric, thank you for taking time to submit the feedback :) We haven't received any reports on issues with refresh speed. Please let me know when or which pages are you experiencing the delay with and we'll look into this.

Easy to track the leaves, goals, documents of every employee any time. Managing the goals and keeping the track of one on one, etc are good.
It is easy to use as it is linked to g-suite. Can check in anytime anywhere by using an app. Can access the details anytime.
UI. look wise should have been even better. Example Goals - Symbol should have been presented better.

Still limited on features but curious to see where they take it. Great value even with minimal features at this point.
easy of use, customer service, and value
limited features very narrow in scope at this point
Hi James, Thanks for the honest review. We've recently spoken and I'm really glad that the features we have been working on have been really effective for you. Your comments and feedback is always welcome!

I don't often have issues with Cake, but when I do, customer service is phenomenal. They respond quickly and ALWAYS resolve my issues. There are some quirks that I wish could be addressed, but the company is definitely moving toward a perfect HR product.
Ease of use. Interface. Mobile app.
No easy way to accomplish bulk actions
Hi Peter. You make us blush. We're really proud to support you and serve your Non-Profit.

As an HR director, and on the base of our employees feedback, I love it!
The intuitiveness of the software, as well as the user-friendliness
The lack of interactive guidelines, which to be easily found on the website
Dear Nevena, Thank you very much for your suggestion! CakeHR user manual is actually on the radar - stay tuned :) With thanks, Viktorija

From the very first I thought I had found the product we were looking for. Easy to use, simple, no clutter. The customer service (Lee) was excellent answering questions and fixing bugs. We took some time to make the final choice, but they were there for whatever we needed. I now look forward to the new version which (as they promised) would have some extra features we were looking for. Keep up the good work!

We're been looking for a basic tool that let's us manage our employee PTO request. There are tons over overly complex systems out there, but we're a small agency and we just wanted an that would let our employees request time off, see their remaining vacation days, and who else might be out at that time. CakeHR does all the above, and is simple to use.

Hey Tom! Thanks! This is exactly what we aimed for in our user experience and design - something so simple to use for both admin, managers and employees - putting the power into the hands of employees so that your time is not taken up by all those spreadsheets. It is still great to have you with us after all this time :) Lee

Top of the pops!
Being able to use the software from inception was easy to use and translating this to the team made it even easier when the quick access to the supporting threads and videos made it an easy set up and no brainer!
Using the timesheets to track overtime and undertime.

Still setting it up but overall, straightforward and practical
HIPAA compliancy, document retention, ease of use
Few features missing but I connected our customer success manager, , and they was very helpful and receptive to some suggestions. Such were added to the internal pipeline. That was cool!

We need a simple way to record staff holidays and sickness this was by the far easiest you use and best value for money product we could find. Support is excellent too.
The simplicity of managing staff holidays and sickness both as a company and as an employee.
I wouldn't say there was anything I didn't like but there's certainly features we'll not use.

Ease of use - Cake works well on all my Apple devices, including smartphone.
As english is not my native language, sometimes I feel that I need some translation. But overall this isn't a big deal.

I've used Cake HR in a former company and it was our first choice for Fit Gurus. Literally got setup in a few minutes and our team were submitting their holiday requests in no time. Super simple stuff and gives us exactly what we need to stay organised.
There's no one feature that stands out, I think the whole package deserves credit. It just works and works well.
I'd like to see a better mobile optimised version of the site. However, the process of authorising leave on a mobile via the email alerts works a treat.
Hey Paul, it has always been a pleasure to partner with you and hope all the best for Fit Gurus! Very shortly, we will be releasing an iOS application for your employees time off management and an Android application to follow shortly. You know how to contact us should you need anything ;)

Easy to use, team is very responsive to feedback. The app and website are straightforward and simple enough for team to use quickly.
A few features need to mature a little bit more and there are a couple outstanding things that would really make it more useful for us.

Easy to use, adjustable to each needs, report tool is great
report tool coloring, it would be great that for example where is shows male and female number in the company the coloring doesn't really stand out, and from distance both colors seems the same.

One place for employee records
easy to track vacation time and sick days. I like having all the employee data in one place as opposed to a in a paper file
need reminders to enter data into Cake. Maybe once a week Cake reminds - any changes for your employees? They take sick days and I don't log it.

- Accountability - Clarity
the software is used by both employee and company, it allows everyone to be accountable and keeps everyone engaged.
The software does not have a one on one platform to allow everything to follow and link to an overall employee file.

First time I started using cake hr, I realized it fits perfectly to my needs. Easy to use and simple to understand of how it works, it has all the features required for time off management and a great support team, always ready to help out. I'd like to simply put it as "Cake hr has uncomplicated time off management for me" What I'm looking forward to is the Slack integration!!!

Hi Cecile! We love all of you at SenseFly too and really feel closely connected with what you do in HR and the company. In fact, I have to say that I am SUPER amazed at how you managed to get the entire company to be "all for one and one for all" when it comes to HR management and the company goals. This is kudos to you and to Rachel! Looking forward to our closer collaboration too ;)
