Pleasant and convenient.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

Great for international companies. Easy on the eyes and multiple features. Adding time off is quick and pulling up information is fast.

Cons

Would be nice to have sub departments that you can sort with. Maybe additional filters? Also the ability to have Euro and North America Calendars separate for users.

Vendor response

Thanks Arvid! Employees can be allocated into Locations and this can be filtered in the Company Calendar. Even employees within one team can have multiple locations - such as remove workers for development or support. I'll make sure you're set up so you can see the right and relevant information at hand!

A significant upgrade on tribe HR

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

We have been with cake for several months. We were initially with Tribe HR. We moved to join Cake as we were attracted to the slick and intuitive interface and the integration with our calendar. As well as the intuitive billing interface. So far all of this has been on point and it has been a big upgrade for us.

Cons

No cons were added to this review

Vendor response

Thank you, Peter! We believe that companies are always looking to improve the way they deal with the day to day tasks and employee management which is why we believe in constantly improving CakeHR. I'm glad that we've been able to add value to your company from day one!

CakeHR

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

The tracking of days off, and the calendar which is visible to all associates

Cons

That it is still simplistic in its use, and cannot be used as the only HR device for the company (payroll, expenses, time off)

Vendor response

Dear Sana, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us! I would love to take our conversation further and hear more about your suggestions, where you think we are right now and what, in your opinion, is still missing. As a result of close collaboration with our clients, our system gets more advanced and intuitive, therefore your recommendations would be greatly appreciated. With thanks, Viktorija

CakeHR

Reviewed 6 years ago

Our overall experience with CakeHR has be brilliant, when we run into any issues or questions there support team quickly answer our queries, with a solution.

Pros

A great user interface, which is very easy to use and has allowed us to roll CakeHR out to all our staff without any issues or lots of questions.

Cons

There is a lack of documentation for admins however Cake's support team is very attentive and answer any questions quickly. I would like to see CakeHr's roadmap for future development, which will show if any of our suggestions have been planned in.

Pros

We started using this when it was cakeHR, and it was great and pretty well supported. Cost effective, pretty solid features for a small team.

Cons

After sage bought it, prices went up and support vanished. Tried cancelling for months, never received confirmation. The only place a Sage human would respond is on Twitter.

Well managed HR operations for the team. Visibility of the org changes. Visibility of the employee plans.

Pros

Very simple to use. Intuitive workflows and change the hierarchy. Setting the org is pretty simple. I can perform all the company HR operations.

Cons

It gives a weird login issue sometimes. When i login, even after many days, it gives me a session error and asks me to re-login.

Vendor response

Thanks Bhakti for your honest review! Sorry that there has been a hiccup with the login page. If it persists, just reach out to support and we'll gladly see what is happening there.

Reviewed 7 years ago

No more bloody written bits of paper asking for time off.

Pros

Great support, quick and responsive. Features are easy to use and there is a lot of customisable options available. Easy to manage users, book time off and from what I understand there are lots of features coming soon.

Cons

Could do with a little more integration and could do with some extra options around file storage and online documents.

Vendor response

Hi Jon! This year, we're going to be working massively on integrations with many great solutions available. It is planned for Q2 so I'll keep you updated on that!

Reviewed 7 years ago

organise our team paperwork and onboard new members as well as track employee information as well as GENERAL schedules in one central location

Pros

The UI is great and the work flow of the platform is intuitive. The customer support has been awesome as well.

Cons

It's really just lacking in some features we need but the features that do work, work well. Becuase we are still reliant on our current platform to serve our needs. We don't get as much use out of Cake.Hr as I feel like we could. We were told new features will be released in late August early September so we're waiting for those to determine whether or not we work Cake.Hr into a permanent part of our business processes.

Vendor response

Hi Siri, I must admit that we have been slow to release the latest modules and features but that is because we have been making them into something so much more. We're JUST about to release them so I'm going to get in touch with you and make sure you're making the most out of your subscription with us.

coresystems review

Reviewed 9 years ago

We were looking for a absence management software that could be integrated with our mobile solution "coresuite" and SAP Business One. We found in cake.hr a good compromise in term of easyness to use, quick setup and API

Pros

- quick setup - easyness to use - API support - fast support

Cons

- some functionalities are limited and could be extended

Vendor response

Hi Paolo! We are super glad that you have made the most of CakeHR by using our API. How CakeHR functions and what features we have are being revamped right now and new and improved features and capabilities will be yours soon! We are very much looking forward to that - stay tuned in the coming weeks! You will get a notification day by day when something new occurs.

Good software for tracking PTO

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

I like that it is very easy to request PTO and to set up multiple policies for employees.

Cons

It was a little confusing at times during set-up, we operate in fractions of days and sometimes it is hard to get people to understand how that can be entered into the system.

Vendor response

Dear Lexi, Thank you for your positive comments! Just a kind reminder, even though your onboarding process is almost completed, we are here for you! Do not hesitate to contact us anytime you have a question or feel unsure about any of the features :) With thanks, Viktorija

CAKE HR EXPERIENCE

Reviewed 6 years ago

it´s been excellent, I literally use CAKE every day and always discover new functions to have a better operation

Pros

CAKE is a very easygoing tool dynamic and friendly nos only with the administrators but with the rest of employees. Also, the costumer service is amazing, they will always be available to help and even receive all recommendations we give them by call or the CAKE chat.

Cons

Probably I would say the big data, sometimes is difficult to load the data when is a lot of it and you have to ask for help

Limited functionality

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

Ease to set up and get started. Billing process is easy too.

Cons

Navigation for admin is poor. Org chart is not user friendly.

Vendor response

Hi there, Thank you for taking your time to leave the review! :) This is such a shame that you are finding the Settings navigation inconvenient, since we have built it and continue to improve following our customer feedback and suggestions. Our Org Chart section is primarily designed as a live tool to arrange and update reporting lines by drag&drop, and for the same reason indeed creates limitation for copying and printing, but this hasn't been reported as an issue by other customers. If you have ideas how we can improve this particular or other section, please use our message bot to suggest a feature or get in touch with our Customer Support team directly ;) Thanks Ilona

Quick, Easy & Great Value

Reviewed 9 years ago

I've tried multiple SaaS based HR solutions over the years and was delighted to find Cake HR, it's quick and easy to get setup, it has a great UI and is good value.

Pros

Great customer support and assistance with Queries and suggestions.

Cons

Only one minor complaint is that I'm not a fan of the wood effect background on the dashboard.

Vendor response

Thanks for the review Kriss! Actually now we're in rebranding / redesigning process, so I can assure you "sushi board" will soon be gone :)

HR for the Non-Profit

Reviewed 8 years ago

CakeHR has been a lifesaver for our organization. Prior to CakeHR we we trying to keep track of all of our human resources information in various places and in various systems that weren't able to manage that information. CakeHR allows us to have clarity and function well without the need to hire an employee to cover this post. Great platform, easy to use, and has served us well. Thank you, and keep up the great work!

Pros

Ease of use. The interface is great. Cost is fair.

Cons

Interesting tool to track employees' time

Reviewed 3 years ago

For me as a user, it's not the easiest tool to use, but I guess for our HR department it gives a lot of value.

Pros

Once you learn it, it's quite easy to use. You can track your time, see when your colleagues are on holidays, see the organization chart and send requests for holidays.

Cons

It's not very intuitive. Once you track your time you can't correct it, so you have to cancel tracking and write the hours from scratch.

My review

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

Easy way to approve pending request. Calendar to see when the people are away.

Cons

It is often quite difficult to easily get the information I need, I mean, in an intuitive way. For example where to find a requested permission and decline it. The overall UI seems quite basic and bootstrap style. I'd like to have a way to automatically integrate it with a payroll italian system to automatically adjust the available permissions/holidays of each employee.

Really impressed with CakeHR!

Reviewed 9 years ago

We are a small non-profit and were sick of the time-consuming task of tracking time off in-house. I stumbled across CakeHR through a web search and immediately was interested. The interface is so user-friendly, easy to use, and intuitive. The cost is extremely reasonable, and I must say the customer service has been fantastic. Lee spent over 30 minutes working with me on one issue to customize the service for our needs! CakeHR is constantly taking in customer feedback and releases new updates and functionality every Thursday and Friday. A wonderful product, thank you!
