HR tool that makes onboarding and goal setting much simpler than I've experienced before!

My overall experience has been very positive. Sympa has been a really important aspect of our company and the management of HR internally and getting that information out to employees. At my last company we didn't have anything like it, so it's been a huge help.

PROS

I like that the portal is completely customized for our organization. When I log in, I have access to tons of resources, a company directory (we're global so it's really helpful), and my business goals, PDP, sales quotas, etc.

CONS

The user interface could be a bit cleaner, but overall it's really great!

Great and most of all user friendly software!

Great experience, super to use and implemented software. Next to that we are in charge of changing the system. No super high consulting costs. What you see is what you get, and it works great!

PROS

Adaptability, Look & Feel, Implementation

CONS

Because of the enormous options, it took a while for me to have the right scope for implementation

Reason for choosing Sympa

Flexibility, price vs. functionality

Reasons for switching to Sympa

Previous software didn't meet the expectations. No options to customize and because we are not a multinational, we were not an important customer for ADP.

Vendor Response

We really liked SYMPA

Me and my colleagues that used SYMPA always liked it a lot! It was easy to introduce to the organization and easy to improve overtime. We got a system that made us more effective.

PROS

An HR system that is very easy to adopt to the business needs. It is very easy to take out reports. It really makes HR work more efficient!

CONS

In the earlier version it did not keep track of all changes in the system, now this has been improved.

Reason for choosing Sympa

We evaluated our need, the functionality and price. Sympa had the best solution at a good price.

Sympa is well-functioning Hr-system from employee journey from start to finish. Reporting also works.

PROS

Sympa is easily customizable to the customer's needs

CONS

Sympa does not always provide a quick response to customer's software problems. Sympa Support is wery often busy.

Reason for choosing Sympa

Sympa was a Finnish software provider. The product was recommended and user-friendly from employee-user to supervisor-user. We have never regretted buying Sympa. I can strongly recommend Sympa for all HR people to small or large businesses.

Sympa helped us change the way of working

The easy access to the system and information has helped everyone in the organization a lot.

PROS

With Sympa the time consumption of making reports and administrative tasks were reduced by at least 70 %. The managers love the easy access to all information about their employees that they needed to ask HR about before. It looks good and is easy to access. Sympa was a great help in setting up the system in the best way for our organisations needs. I fell that Sympa listens to the customers needs and is trying to develope the system frequently.

CONS

I still miss a good feature to work with appraisals. It fells a little bit edgy still and we have to invent and priorize a little to much to make the form/feature good.

Reason for choosing Sympa

Sympa gave more value for the money.

Vendor Response

Wow Anna, amazing impact in efficiency with the reduced time consumption! Very well done, and thank you for sharing these results! Maybe the new multi-edit tool could ease some of your pain when it comes to handling appraisals? Don't hesitate to reach out to our support or your dedicated Customer Success Manager, if you have any further questions! Thanks for being with us and enjoy your smoother HR ride!

Sympa HR is a great help for us every day

Our managers have access to all employee data in one system.

PROS

It´s easy to use for our managers. We can administrate it by ourselves and there are a lot of opportunities.

CONS

Sometimes as an administrator it´s not so easy to do changes. We need to contact Sympa support for help.

Reason for choosing Sympa

It was the HR system that was most user friendly. Our managers and employees are very operational and not so administrative.

Vendor Response

Hi Helene, Mastering building and configuring a new system really might take some time, but I am sure you will get the hang of it in no time! Also, our support is always happy to help. I hope you also have had time to look at our functionality guides on the Support Portal - you might find some answers there too! Thanks for being with us and enjoy your smoother HR ride!
