Me and my colleagues that used SYMPA always liked it a lot! It was easy to introduce to the organization and easy to improve overtime. We got a system that made us more effective.
An HR system that is very easy to adopt to the business needs. It is very easy to take out reports. It really makes HR work more efficient!
In the earlier version it did not keep track of all changes in the system, now this has been improved.

Sympa saves time for both HR and leaders at our company.
We looked for a system that could be scaled after our needs. Also a system that could be integrated with our salary/time system. We found that in Sympa. The implementation was well structured.
We miss a good competence matrix. The support can sometimes take time.

You can handle many same time changes and keep updated all the time in personel data.
You can easily make customization and new features yourself.
User right management is quite compicated and requires lot manual work.

Sympa is easy to use and appriciated by our managers. It´s easy to create reports.
It´s not that easy to use and learn the system as an administrator.

My overall experience has been very positive. Sympa has been a really important aspect of our company and the management of HR internally and getting that information out to employees. At my last company we didn't have anything like it, so it's been a huge help.
I like that the portal is completely customized for our organization. When I log in, I have access to tons of resources, a company directory (we're global so it's really helpful), and my business goals, PDP, sales quotas, etc.
The user interface could be a bit cleaner, but overall it's really great!

The easy access to the system and information has helped everyone in the organization a lot.
With Sympa the time consumption of making reports and administrative tasks were reduced by at least 70 %. The managers love the easy access to all information about their employees that they needed to ask HR about before. It looks good and is easy to access. Sympa was a great help in setting up the system in the best way for our organisations needs. I fell that Sympa listens to the customers needs and is trying to develope the system frequently.
I still miss a good feature to work with appraisals. It fells a little bit edgy still and we have to invent and priorize a little to much to make the form/feature good.
Wow Anna, amazing impact in efficiency with the reduced time consumption! Very well done, and thank you for sharing these results! Maybe the new multi-edit tool could ease some of your pain when it comes to handling appraisals? Don't hesitate to reach out to our support or your dedicated Customer Success Manager, if you have any further questions! Thanks for being with us and enjoy your smoother HR ride!

Our managers have access to all employee data in one system.
It´s easy to use for our managers. We can administrate it by ourselves and there are a lot of opportunities.
Sometimes as an administrator it´s not so easy to do changes. We need to contact Sympa support for help.
Hi Helene, Mastering building and configuring a new system really might take some time, but I am sure you will get the hang of it in no time! Also, our support is always happy to help. I hope you also have had time to look at our functionality guides on the Support Portal - you might find some answers there too! Thanks for being with us and enjoy your smoother HR ride!

Great experience, super to use and implemented software. Next to that we are in charge of changing the system. No super high consulting costs. What you see is what you get, and it works great!
Adaptability, Look & Feel, Implementation
Because of the enormous options, it took a while for me to have the right scope for implementation

I really enjoy working with Sympa. It is so easy to modify and I always get brilliant support from Sympa when needed.
It is quick and easy to modify to meet your needs. I like the graphics and symbols. You can count on that it improves all the time and you can get new versions.
Some sections are a bit out of date and inflexible, like recruiting pages.
Thank you for your review Kati! We also love our support - they are simply amazing! Thanks, your thoughts on recruitment have been sent to product development. Any further comments and feature requests can be sent to our Support, who will make sure they reach or development team. Your review is super appreciated, and we hope you get to fully enjoy your smoother HR ride with Sympa!

Easy to change HR processes ourselves after a short admin-training
how easy we could make an integration with our Payrol solution
I would have liked to have a dashboard on the first page, but we solved that with an power BI integration.
Thank you for your review, Chiel! Much appreciated. Sounds like a well-functioning work-around, well discovered! Your wish has however been taken to the development team, we hope to have it proceeding soon. In the meantime, we hope you get to enjoy the smoother HR ride with Sympa, and thank you for being with us.
