Time Tracking was made a cake walk

I have 25 people reporting into me and OrangeHRM makes it easy for me to track their time and leaves. Adding team members to different projects is really easy

The support could be a little better. But over all I'm satisfied. We have an in-house support team who helps us when it comes to support.

One of the best Human Resource management software. I highly recommend it to human resource managers.

The system covers almost all the aspects of human resource management, including leave management, employee performance and asset recording.

The Orange HRM is not easy to setup and it is also not very stable. There is a risk of the system crushing and user losing all the stored data. This has happened to me twice.

The product does what it says it does, but the user interface is not always intuitive and many of the leave tracking pieces have been confusing for our employees. My real problem is with customer support. For example to add a new type of leave, you have to have the folks at Orange add it. I called our original contact from orange and received a different person's voicemail. I left a message and haven't heard back. I don't have time to chase down the correct people. We also requested a custom change that we thought would be very simple. We wanted to customize Friday's in the leave module to be 7 hr days while the other 4 working days would remain 8 hr days. The cost to do this change was over triple what it cost us to buy the original product. We weren't warned of the cost of this change during the sales and marketing process and it took a bunch of follow up to even get the quote after the product was implemented. I would say this isn't a bad product for the price, but they could certainly improve in a few areas.

Central management of employee information and leave management. The asset tracker is nice. Reasonable cost for out of the box product.

Customer support is minimal. Some UI issues.

Time management became very easy and efficient for our whole team

In the past we used to track our time in plain Excel, but once we got OrangeHRM we were able to manage our time better and also visually see where we spend our time and how to make it more efficient and become productive

None. Actually none at all. In the past 2 years that i've used OrangeHRM, i've never had to complain about anything

OrangeHRM is very easy to use even for unexperienced users. It provides the possibilities to customize the interface. I appreciate that it also offers mobile app, which makes it easy to work with the program from my phone.

It is good tool for smaller companies but it may not be suitable for larger companies with more complex HR requirements.

As a start up company our budget on spending is always limited and one of our main targets is to try to get the most benefits in the lowest price. Towards this direction we started using Orange HRM system which is totally free. I strongly believe that it is totally suitable for a company with around 25 to 50 employees. You can always keep great track of useful information about your personnel, their benefits, manage perfectly the leave of theirs but also allows employee self service features. I would not suggest though for recruitment as there are few other, more powerful software out there for this aspect.

Personnel information management

Recruitment features are not really competitive

Easy Employee management and a fairly simple user interface for the software users.

It enables automated leave entitlement and management and this makes the job of both the Human resource manager and the employees very easy.

The software is fairly difficult to setup correctly and their customer support take a long time to reply.

Orange HRM helps us to manage human resources

I like that they offer free Open Source plan. Performance management is great feature, especially when it is available in free plan.

The software is hard to set up and operate. The software is a bit buggy and sometimes operates very slowly.

Orange HRM makes leave applications so simple that one can have a full interaction to the HR department without being there

The system is not stable, sometimes its up, some times its down, for no apparent reason. I hope to see a stable release

Great system with a nice user interface, easy to learn and use. Value for money is assured while using OrangeHRM.

OrangeHRM is really user friendly and provides an excellent platform for basic keeping of records, very ideal for any start up.

One misses some of the crucial features like payroll and budgeting modules while using the open source version. These are some very key areas in any Human Resource Department.

We researched several HRM applications at the time we decided to transition away from our prior system. We weighed all options and made the decision to go with OrangeHRM. Pros: o Excellent customer support o Very easy and functional report generator application for ad-hoc reporting o Easy to use timesheet tracking built as module within the system o Leave tracking seemed to happen effortlessly o Extremely user friendly, pleasant interface both for staff and the company o Easy custom fields in addition to more complex customization options o Recruitment module o Performance Module for annual and 6 month new hire reviews o Very knowledgeable and helpful sales contact o Easy and intuitive navigation within the system o Fantastic training o Will soon have mobile application of their cloud-based software o Company is very open to client feedback o The portal is customized with your logo and colors so it has your branding Cons o It's hard to think of a con realistically, as if there is anything that we need to be done with the system, we know it can be addressed. The defaults may not be what we'd always like, but it's fine as we can modify it to meet out needs. So what may start out as a 'con' in this area turns into a 'pro' as in the end you have the system you'd like to have. o There is no integration with outside applications (i.e., payroll). This is not a con for us as we have no need for this - but for some companies seeking this, it is not part of this application's functionality. OrangeHRM doesn't try to be all things to all people like some HRM systems - which then end up being costly and much more complicated - but they have developed a solid HRM system with a very easy user interface for those companies looking for this. I would highly recommend at least exploring this solution when researching HRM options. This has been a fantastic decision for our company.

The approval system is the most impactful. Once a request is sent, the supervisors get a notification immediately which makes the work flows seamlessly. I love the reporting feature, as I can do a report on basically anything based on the information that has been inputted.

I havent found any issues since I've been using. The maintenance team is annoyingly good at what they do.

When in need for a specialized software in the work place and on a tight budget for SMB practices FLOSS software usually is my first avenue of exploration. Working as an IT consulting company for multiple vet clinics we were in need of a simple hr/time recording system that could be deployed within minutes and easy to maintain; something we found in OrangeHRM. We primarily use OrangHRM 3.1.1 for time sheets, attendance records and employee information. The ease of use for logging hours and pulling reports is dead simple and is easy to work with. Pros: - Easy install with multiple options and documentation available - Open source with options of paid support and hosting options - Consistent performance - Ease of use Cons: - Data backup is not built into the product (documentation for manual database backup/restoration available on forums) - Software updates are not performed from web console/gui - Feature sets limited to which product version utilized (most FLOSS products do this) - Reporting functions leave room to be desired Overall OrangeHRM is a fantastic product that can be easily deployed and setup within hours. With it's simple interface and user experience your office setups can greatly benefit from utilizing OrangeHRM. Keep in mind that if you are not paying for the hosted version/support you will need to take steps to ensure data backup policies and staying up to date with the software. Though this process is not difficult it is cumbersome and should be considered when weighing the costs and benefits in your decision making process.

Its easy to use and very user friendly. I love the fact that it has a good audit trail which can be used to hold persons accountable. The training module is perfect in an continuous professional development driven environment. Its easy to schedule training for each employee and updating the question bank is very easy.

I wish more of the modules were cheaper or free depending on the number of employees.

Have used many HRM software in past, but I found Orange HRM simple and well organised. It also has capability to get it customized as per our need which makes it very flexible.

Well, to be honest OrangeHRM has been their for a long period of time and they keep on improving their drawbacks, and I guess community edition has played a crucial part here. The SaaS model should be improved little further otherwise everything is perfect.

Overall I really Enjoy the easy use of ORANGE HRM and its the perfect HR resource!

I love this software. It allows me to easily give PTO and keeps everything together. It lets my employees request time off, see who is off, and allows you to view pictures to verify who they are.

Sometimes it does crash and is frequently going through updates which has put us behind a little at times.

I like OrangeHRM.

Open source and easy to deploy locally and easy to use by the users.

Not many free module is integrated one of them asset module is not free.

Orange HRM is really focused on its task, I suppose for the pople working with the reports it is quite nice as it seems.

I hate to enter my working time here, it is so unbelievable bare bone, I have to create time stamps and enter them into a 1980 style internet form.

Convenient HRM system

I like having all of the information about my employees in one convenient place. I also like the many feature that OrangeCRM has, especially on-boarding process feature - it safes a lot of time.

It is quite expensive for small companies. Also when we first found the software it was pretty hard to figure out what are the pricing options, needed to contact with them to find out.
