"Excellent product and customer service"
Comments: No requirement for physical calendar which is prone to errors, staff can access planner anytime and anywhere, approvals for annual leave are straight forward and managed more effectively
Pros: Very easy to use, straight forward setup, very quick to answer queries, customer support has been excellent so far - definitely the way forward to outsource HR for small businesses!
Cons: Some areas needed a bit more explanation and guidance on how best to use

"excellent costomer service"
Comments: we have only just started using the system but it is already showing benefits in logging absences and storing documents.
Pros: has every thing we would need. I especially like the folders to save sensitive documents. it will help keep everything in an easy to find and access place.
Cons: the set up of employees is time consuming but obviously I understand why this is.

"New User"
Comments: Had considered alternative products but Bright HR was highly recommeded by an associate organisation. The experience thus far has been exceptional from the initial contact up to where we are now.
Pros: Ease of use, but more importantly the level of professionalism which which the product has been offered, implemented and supported.
Cons: Nothing to dislike as yet - will keep you informed

"Move from HR Online"
Comments: We have requested to cancel our contract and go back to HR online which we felt was a much better platform for our needs.
Pros:
Nothing.
There is nothig that me or any of my 75 employees like about this app
Cons:
Everything - there is much less functionalitiy than we had with HR Online and this is supposed to be an 'upgrade'
• User interface is complicated and too many clicks needed.
• TOIL must be logged by Managers and not employees.
• Approval notifications can only be ‘all’ or ‘no one’.
• The notes section is not as detailed & does not retain historical information.
• The Managers cant see the notes.
• The salary section does not retain historical information.
• The roster is time-consuming and cumbersome.
• The reports are not as concise as they were and we have less options.
• Leave requests do not seem to take account of the weekends or public holidays as they did on HR Online.
• The app is not downloadable on ALL android phones.

"Abertay Housing Association"
Comments: It is a little too early to say but I am hoping that the reporting system will be most useful. The rota system will also assist with one of our Managers who has to juggle staff members with locations.
Pros: Ease of use for staff, mobile app is so helpful and the ease with which information can be updated.
Cons: There are features which I had with HR Online which don't appear on Bright HR which were extremely useful. I understand that they are being considered moving forward and therefore if they are introduced the system will be second to none.

"Modern, user-friendly HR management software"
Comments: As an employee using BrightHR, it has been a positive experience. I can't speak to the admin features, but my manager appears to be able to do everything he needs to without escalating further, and the user-side is well-designed and lays out key information simply. Everything works that way you think it should and it stores a range of useful data.
Pros:
Clean, mostly well-laid out web interface makes most operations simple. A range of useful information including holiday allocation/remaining, details of your time at the company, a calendar of holidays and absences in your team.
All functions can also be carried out using the mobile app which works without problems.
Cons: No major complaints. As a user I have been able to find all information and features that I have needed to manage my HR account (mostly annual leave-related).

"Very Easy to Use"
Comments: Very smooth. From start to finish it was very easy to use, with great assistance!
Pros: It is very easy to use, I was able to set it up with ease. Any questions that I had and was unable to find answers to my account manager was very helpful and had answers for all my queries.
Cons: There are a few things which would be great to be included, for example blocking certain periods of holiday out (ie our peak trading times).

Pros:
Straight forward once explained!
Great to have software to help my business to run smoothly.
Cons:
I don't really use any software as were only a small business I'm hoping it will help me run my business run much more efficiently.
The only thing I can say I least liked about the software was the price!
