Simple to use great HR software
For a SME like ours, this is a great solution.
PROSEasy to set up, intuitive. We send all new staff a link when they arrive and they just use it. It is a great shared resource centre for all employment related documents. SSO makes access simple.. Support is really proactive and helpful.
CONSThere were a couple of glitches in the early days, but quickly resolved. No complaints now
Reason for choosing Appogee HR
I don't remember if I even looked at any alternatives

A year of Appogee HR
The support was generally responsive; the application did what it said and the fact that we had very little push back from users implies it was good for them as well.
PROSAs with many software packages adoption tells you if it's successful. How many support questions usually starting with "how do I", "where was it", "I'm confused" . While of course there has been some; in the case of the HR deployment its been minimal. We adopted Apogge for the self-service nature; to remove the emailing holiday, sick requests, to remove the manual tracking of policy agreements, Toil requests and personal details. These have been a great success; all the employees get it; and our whole HR processes flow is so much more streamlined.
CONSThere will always be some gripes with new software; the two that stick in mind over our initial teething problems was the inability to remove the log on options - we quickly integrated into our Office 365 login, but on the login screen you still had the option to log in manually -(or with Gsuite) so many users kept trying the wrong one - and it would have been easy to remove those that weren't required. Secondly, we had issues with the document management side; having to request authorisation of policies one by one instead of in bulk. These were both annoying but certainly no close to deal breaking
Reason for choosing Appogee HR
It covered all the features we were looking for including very flexible time working; in both hours and or days
Vendor Response
Thanks for reviewing Appogee HR, Adrian. It's great to hear your employees have found the system easy to pick up and you've streamlined your processes. The login page is universal for all customers, so we need to provide all login options, however we take your feedback on board. You can access the app from the Microsoft Apps Launcher it will take you straight into the application. We can also provide you with the O365 specific log in link, which you could ask your employees to bookmark, again, bypassing the main login page. We support the acknowledgement of documents in bulk, this can be done by setting up a 'rule' per document, which you could add to All Employees, Teams or specific individuals. Although you do set up the acknowledgement requests on a per document basis, to give you flexibility.

Vendor Response
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It sounds like you have found Appogee Leave easy to use and the employees have been happy with requesting their own leave. It would be great if you could get in touch with some further feedback on some of the star ratings. We always love to hear how our solutions work for you so we can continue to develop.

Energi Core Review
So far for me it's been amazing dealing with the Appogee team, they have almost become like family. Love the product but think there can be some great improvements made.
PROSCustomer service is the best, very friendly and helpful. Integrated with GSuite Onboarding is easy and quick Customization
CONSCould do with a better visual way of set up Improvements to be made on goals and performance reviews. Improvements on reporting Would be great to add time clocking feature
Reason for choosing Appogee HR
We chose it as it suits as a start up company.
Reasons for switching to Appogee HR
We are growing massively and expected to double if not triple in size over the next year. We need a system that includes better reporting features, time tracking feature, integration with ATS system, better performance review and goal setting feature. The goal is to eliminate manual input and having a combination of platforms in one.
Vendor Response
Thanks for taking the time to review Appogee HR, Marcelle. We've really enjoyed working with you too, and being able to help out your organisation with centralising your HR processes! We've just launched the ability to track time within the system, too!

An absolute time saver
We didn't have a dedicated HR function so we needed an easy to use platform that had an employee self service portal to ease the burden of keeping the system up to date. Being able to configure the system exactly as we want it has been amazing and the AppogeeHR team has been very responsive whenever I needed help.
PROSHaving everything in one place with an easy search functionality saves tons of time. It is in the cloud so I can access the information from anywhere and I know my data is secure which is so important for an HR system. Having an employee self service portal has completely changed the way we run HR. Employees can change their address, bank details, contact information themselves so the onus is on them to update their information, rather than HR. No more chasing or double guessing. It's all there and up to date. The integration of the Leave Functionality with Google Workspace is incredibly well thought out and implemented. The whole process is now automated from email requests to approval, with everything logged in calendars. The headache of tracking holidays has completely gone away.
CONSThere is a lot of functionality and customisation options, so you need to think carefully how to configure it from the outset.
Vendor Response
Thanks for your glowing review Anne-Laure. It's great to hear that you've managed to automate a lot of processes and you can use the system as a single source of truth. Our configuration options allow you to make sure the system is set up in the exact way that you need!

Keeping it simple - works every time
Appogee HR lived up to our expectations by providing the full range of leave management and HR management functions we required in a simple and easy to use package. It interfaces seamlessly with XERO, meaning that most people can rely on their Appogee portal and stay right away from the finance system. Only finance staff ever have to use XERO, which reinforces our segregation of duties and keeps the auditors happy.
PROSSimple to use, effective portal for staff to manage leave requests and HR reporting, including the Annual Review process. Flexible enough to be adapted to Australian conditions, easily customised with Long Service Leave and a Personal (ie Sick) Leave entitlement that works quite differently to the UK equivalent. Interacts seamlessly and accurately with XERO payroll
CONSSome instructions proved difficult to follow when setting up, and database only works to 2 decimal places where XERO works to 4, which often generates small differences in entitlements at balance sheet dates.
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review Tim! We aim to be simple to use and easy to navigate so that is great to hear. It is also good to hear our integration with Xero Payroll works well for your company.

I like Appogee!
My overall experience has been good though I realise we are not probably utilising the software as much as we could. It would be helpful to have an annual check in with our account manager to run through how we are using it and reminding us of its functions, as so often in HR, time resources are limited to spend time exploring.
PROSI like the simplicity of Appogee that enables us to keep an accurate record of all our employees, and allows our employees to easily track their leave and the performance review function has been well received.
CONSI don't like when I am looking for an employee using the leave function that it doesn't allow me to search 'All Teams' and if I don't know what team they are in, I have to revert to the company directory to find them and then go back to the leave function. It's not a biggie but does waste a little time :)
Reason for choosing Appogee HR
Pricing and simplicity and I believe there was good support in implementing the system.
Reasons for switching to Appogee HR
I am aware that your competitive pricing was a big consideration and also the simplicity of the system suited our needs.

Brilliant System
The support is great and the developers are always watching the feature suggestion page implementing suggestions or even responding to peoples comments by suggesting methods to get your desired outcome regarding the current functionality. This is really good because sometimes the system is upgraded and the end user doesn't always understand what that means for them, so it's almost like indirect training
PROSIs very easy to use, allows O365 integration and a platform for submission of feature suggestions to enhance the software and functionality
CONSCompared to what we used to use, Appogee far outweighs the previous system in terms of pros with very little cons
Reason for choosing Appogee HR
Appogee was the first one I came to and I really liked the look of it. I had a demo with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and it seemed to be much more geared to what we needed
Reasons for switching to Appogee HR
E-Days was terrible, their support was shocking and the money spent did not justify the end product

The perfect HR program that is perfect for staff, hr and finance
Appogee HR is the all round system and I highly recommend it
PROSI love the fact that it solves our annual leave issues in our organisation. This means that our staff have a one - stop shop and have full control in applying for leave and knowing where in the process it is.
CONSThe only small thing that I would suggest be changed is that when applying for leave, the application for leave section has both applying to take leave (Personal and Sick) along side applying to have TOIL added to their account. This is confusing to staff and subsequently many people apply for TOIL think that they are 'taking' TOIL rather than 'adding' it to the account

PROSHas all the features you would need for managing employee files. Is totally customizable to fit your needs. Very easy to learn and use.
CONSOnly being able to punch in and out once per calendar is problematic for on call employees or PRN employees with large gaps between work hours. Would be great for my field staff if the mobile app was available for apple users.

CONSCustomizing the software to your business will take some training, but luckily you can self-train via their help articles. Like any software, the more you use it the easier it becomes.
