Sage HR

"Easy to set up and run"

Opmerkingen: Although we are only a small company, we were trying to manually record our employees' holiday and sick leave as well as days in lieu, but found that we were losing track of vital information. CakeHR lets us keep all this information in an organised way, and lets our employees also keep track of their accrued allowances, as well as requesting leave in a more formal and organised manner.

Pluspunten: I really liked the choice of price points, depending on the needs of your business. The user interface is also intuitive, and the calendar integrates well with Outlook.

Minpunten: The trial version didn't have New Zealand public holidays automatically included, so I had to add these manually.

"Cake HR - Solid Technology"

Pluspunten: Its simple, does what it says it will do. Personally I like how it syncs with the calendar.

Minpunten: I took a week off during easter. We have down on it a company day on Good Friday and Bank Holiday on the Monday. Both days were taken from Annual leave.

"Sage Solution"

Opmerkingen: This software suite will allow managment to automate internal human resource processes, that were previously completed manually. This has improved our internal efficiencies.

Pluspunten: What I liked about this software is the ease to automate internal processes.This software will allow a complete electronic profile to be created for all employees.

Minpunten: I found there was a bit of a learning curve to become a fluent user. This software may be problematic for non-computer literate employees.

"Looks great and offer many modules and but the functionality of most of them is very basic."

Opmerkingen: Certainly cakeHR solves part of the management of my company's talent department, but it is still far from being a suitable software for companies with more than 50 employees.

Changing any software in a large organization is complicated and I believe that CakeHR has a great potential to be exploited, so I still hope that they will listen to the users' suggestions and implement the requested functionalities.

It would be a good thing if they published the roadmap so that we could know how they are going to develop the product.

Pluspunten: The user interface of the web application is nice. It is easy to use by employees for absence requests. The calendar view is very convenient to see at a glance the planned absences. The talent department likes the performance module.

Minpunten: General: The administration of the system is difficult. It is not prepared for companies with more than 50 employees because any type of grouping has to be done employee by employee, among other thigs.

Support: It is disconcerting, sometimes responding quickly and providing some solution, but most of the time, besides responding late, it gives the feeling of unprofessionalism.

Interface: Apparently it is nice, but there are some views, such as the user profile management, where they are limited to show in a single column each one of the fields, which makes very uncomfortable the information visualization.

Document management: It is extremely basic and not very efficient. It becomes chaotic.

Absences: It more or less works well, although as always, with little flexibility, burdening the talent department with avoidable tasks.

Expenses: The same, very basic implementation. For us to be able to use it in my company a couple of additional fields are needed (name and VAT number of the provider) which they promised to add before the second quarter of 2019 but have not yet done so. In general there are few updates. I feel that they were adding new features more frequently at the beginning of the year.

Mobile application: It is very basic, almost no functionality. You can't clock in/out from the app, which is essential these days for employees who move around. From support I was told to access the web application from a mobile browser...

API: Very basic and incomplete.

"Simple, easy to use HR software"

Opmerkingen: Responsive to concerns, no reliability issues

Pluspunten: Our team uses it to manage our paid time off and remote working policies. It's super simple and easy to use and very cost effective.

Minpunten: The way it is set up is probably designed for larger teams and takes a bit of effort in order to see everyone's calender as opposed to only the individuals on your 'team'
