HRIS software made for Canada

Folks HR (used to be called Allié RH back in the day) is a solid solution for Canadian SMBs. Their support is GOLD and this is honestly one of the key reasons to switch. If you are tired of having to deal with long wait times between tickets, Folks HR is the way to go.

PROS

- bilingual HR software, it's a must for a company operating in Canada and Quebec. - great KPI module to help managers reach their HR goals - timesheet PER project (what a lifesaver!) - great value for money

CONS

- no e-signature and that's a bit annoying but we can absolutely manage without it - the demo is a real demo not a trial

Reason for choosing Folks HR

Price. Support. Truly bilingual in Canada.

Reasons for switching to Folks HR

Price and support. Also, let's be honest, the French interface is only 35% translated into actual French and not some horrible Frenglish.

I dread using Folks

PROS

Unfortunately, there is nothing I like about this product.

CONS

This tool drives me up the wall. Have used it both as an employee and a manager. - No SSO support, annoying email "2-factor" login. - Very clunky UX unclear where I will find different functionality. - UI is not engaging, it's not "fun" to use. I don't feel like I am getting any work done. - I work in a fully web-app environment, this is the only app that routine fails to load. - Routinely fails to save input information making me have to review everything numerous times, save a draft outside of the tool in case of failure.

On adore Folks!

l'équipe de support et implantation est patiente et à lécoute. Toute l'expérience est allée au dela de nos attentes.

PROS

L'interface est conviviale, les employés et les gestionnaires s'y retrouvent facilement ce qui a facilité l'adhésion à l'outil. Bye Bye fichiers Excel!

CONS

On aimerait au certains champs soient personnalisables pour mieux coller à notre réalité quant à la conformité pour le traitement des plaintes. On est toutefois conscients que nous avons un besoin différent de la majorité des entreprises.

Reason for choosing Folks HR

L'interface utilisateur, le rapport qualité prix et le fait que ce soit une entreprise québécoise.

PROS

- Price - User friendly - Great customer support

CONS

- Not all the features (add more criteria for employee reviews or e-signatures for documents)

Reason for choosing Folks HR

Price, support team and simple features.
