Reviews of Access PeopleHR

Great HR software
Pros:
Easy to use the basic functions for a HR novice
Cons:
The expenses module isn't as good as other providers
Alternatives Considered:
A very happy customer!
Pros:
That they take on board the feedback from users and are pushing out really good updates. Most recently, the updated features of the logbook designer, which are fantastic from the perspective of helping to automate processes and create a better audit trail for HR/Line Managers. I can't fault the customer service, who have always come back to me whenever I have had an issue.
Cons:
The performance module is a bit clunky and isn't as customisable as other areas of the system, and could do with having the ability to reword the manager's sections. That being said we have adapted the logbook function with something simpler as this better suits the needs of our business.
Worst system to use for expenses
Comments: The worst to be honest, useless app, why you can't submit expenses on the PC version of the app is beyond me.. why only allow expenses to be submitted on the app. Fine if you can guarantee it works but there is no alternative.
Pros:
There are very little pros for the mobile app - it's useless and never works properly
Cons:
Sometimes the app works and sometimes it says you need to launch in Microsoft Edge.. when my default browser on my phone is Microsoft Edge. Clear the cache and cookies and still it says 'open in Edge?' even though it is opening in Edge. Tried to report this numerous times to PeopleHR and they give no helpful advice. Sometimes it works, sometimes you get the error message and it just loops around. Our internal IT have checked everything and there are no security restrictions, and as it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't it's a software issue. Also when you can get onto the platform to submit expenses, if you save them before submitting they just disappear.
PeopleHR review ⭐
Comments: All round a good service with many good features to aide our work.
Pros:
PeopleHR is user friendly and easy to maneuver around. ATS is super useful and aids internal recruitment greatly. The planner section is concise and allows a view over team holidays quickly and easily.
Cons:
If the planner integrated with outlook calendar, that would be fabulous in order to keep up with who is in and out of the office without having to go and check.
Alternatives Considered:
Great for this SME
Comments: People HR Saves me valuable time, it generates reports easily and gives me the confidence my records are secure and GDPR compliant.
Pros:
The cost and scale-ability was our immediate reason for shortlisting People HR. It was very important the employees could correct their own data. We like the mobile app for the team so that employee can upload expenses on the go or book a holiday at any time. As the Administrator I find the software very user friendly and bulk uploads save me many hours of work. When we first uploaded our data it was a really simple process. I use this for 3 companies with different account levels and it works perfectly for each company.
Cons:
I would like to be able to use the recruiter tools and the performance management but the permanent cost to upgrade outweigh the time they can save me when operating a small company.
