Cake HR Review

Reviewed 6 years ago

Helped us a lot, but I think there are some parts that need to be improved.

Pros

Customer service, because they are very quick, kind and helpful. Always looking for a solution. The dashboard is very good, collects all the useful data.

Cons

Settings, for me it is confusing where and how to add e.g. vacation related stuff. Not userfriendly enough, but maybe it's just me. Also the documents part, I'd be happy if we could create more folders, better folder structure. And the timesheet report, I would be happy of some changes.

Room for improvement

Reviewed 5 years ago

Not great, not terrible

Pros

The flexibility for policies and their functionality.

Cons

Reports don't work well and are very limited. They don't calculate correctly the headcount and turnover, because it doesn't take into account terminated employees.

Vendor response

Dear Matias, Thank you very much for your review. I am genuinely sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with CakeHR. However, I would like to assure you that the issues you have stated can be resolved within a minute. I'll make sure you're introduced and familiar with various possibilities of CakeHR reports. With thanks, Viktorija

Awesome!

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall, CakeHR is a great HRIS system. The integration between timesheets and attendance is seamless.

Pros

I love that supervisors can easily approve or deny time-off requests at the push of a button. It is so simplistic and easy to use.

Cons

I wish there was an ATS included with CakeHR but I am sure as it grows they will build an ATS or have it integrate with other ATS's.

CakeHR

Reviewed 6 years ago

I have had an overall positive experience. Took sometime to get familiar with as an Admin but once you get it it is good. As new features are presented I wish they were explained a little more in length and perhaps a tutorial via email was sent.

Pros

How easy it is for my staff to use without wasting time training them.

Cons

I wish it had more features for communication included in the fee

Looks great, but functionality is too basic

Reviewed 6 years ago

We needed a system for managing time off. This just about manages to do so.

Pros

It's an online tool and is easy to access, generally speaking.

Cons

There are too many issues with the tool. Booking time off can be infuriating, especially if a mistake is made - for example, it will let you book time off in the past, without a warning, but to rectify you need an admin to decline your request and to start again. The mobile app is also woeful - it literally offers no benefit and I will typically boot my laptop instead.

Pretty decent leave management!

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

We liked the ability to create many time off policies, the granular control of assigning different time off policies for different employees and who can approve whose time off.

Cons

Documents management could be way better. For starters, we would like the ability to rename files and not have their entire file names listed out. It would be great to be able to sort them into folders. And for employees to be notified of any file uploads. It really ought to behave more like a proper bulletin board and not be an afterthought.

Vendor response

Hi Benjamin, thank you for taking your time to submit the review, some very useful advise and ideas here! :) With regards to Documents Management, couple of things are already in place - e.g. employee notification that a new doc has been uploaded. All the other ideas are excellent and are now added to the pipeline, so please watch this space! :)

Dear Natalie, Thank you for bringing this to our attention! Once transferring 51-200 employee org chart to A4 format, you, unfortunately, will end up with a document that is in an unusable state.

Reviewed 3 years ago

I use Sage to place purchase requisitions for my department and to keep track of spending on each project. I love that it is easy for my accounting department to share with me when invoices have been paid.

Pros

My favorite feature of Sage is being able to run total expense reports based on a particular project.

Cons

There are so many features in Sage that it can get confusing. You also have to really pay attention to permission settings as well.

Beacon Economics Review

Reviewed 5 years ago

Overall, I would say I am very pleased with this application!

Pros

A all-in-one HR platform, allowing me to keep a pulse on ALL HR items for our Company. I absolutely love the Assets, Recipes, Onboarding/Offboarding, and Reporting functions.

Cons

The PTO policies were giving me an issue. Specifically, the bonus PTO items in the additional options section of the create new policies. In addition, when an employee is added to a particular policy, all PTO for that period is automatically added.

Vendor response

Dear Danielle, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review, it means a lot to us! Since all CakeHR tools and features are fully customizable, there is an easy answer to your concern in regards to PTO policies. It's actually just a few clicks away :) I'll make sure you're shown this function and you're happy with our solution. With thanks, Viktorija
