Reporting functions are easy to operate and offer valuable management information. The platform is popular with our employees and is widely used to capture and organise leave requests.

Could be difficult to learn if not coming from someone who doesn't use computers.

Kudos feature allows you to give kudos to your colleagues with a leaderboard showing who's been awarded the most kudos (great for staff moral).

The ability to easily book holiday due to being able to see when the rest of the team are away is really useful.

No ‘variable hours’ recording function that allows you to enter hours worked on an hourly, weekly or monthly basis.

The cost is within budge. The system is easy to us for my team and for me and it has taken days of my life through the simple administration.

It is a good basic tool for Employee records, but getting data back out can be cumbersome.

It is very easy to navigate round, it is also very simple to book holidays.

Support is friendly and efficient and the cost is very attractive. I can't say enough positive things about breathehr.

It is quite dull to look at and use, it feels like a program from about 7-8 years ago despite actually being a very modern package.

For a small monthly payment, I now have the perfect system for my needs. I have been very impressed with the product and the technical support.

With the software being cloud based it is nice that it can easily be accessed on any device from anywhere.

Support staff is great- very helpful, easy to get a hold of. Program integrates well with our other databases.

I also find it frustrating that the recruitment section does not seem to tell you an overview of how to use it, but you almost have to post something to work it out.

Its UI is easy to use and the featureset is constantly expanding. Their support team is fabulous and answers our minimal questions very fast and with ease.

Really easy to use - great platform. Would recommend for a smaller scale business and scale up within breathe as your business scales.

Good integration with third party systems like Rota Cloud and Safety Cloud. Very good support including self service for managers and staff.

Happy with how simple it is to use and a big improvement over the platform we used before (Sage).

I found it difficult to access documents that were uploaded to it for me to see as I couldnt find the correct area from my profile.

Without a doubt, the best part about BreatheHR is its simplicity. For the user, the web interface is clear with all features signposted in the expected places with not an ounce of bloatware in sight.

Overall very positive and has greatly improved efficiencies within our organisation.

There is a new recruitment module which I believe is a great addition.

Great central location for employee policies/holidays etc.

It's a very useful software which helps for the HR management and leave tracking purposes. Not only that it can be used for personal goal setting and training activities too.

Smooth, minimal learn time, east to integrate systems with, easy to manage staff through it.

There is no drag and drop functionality, integration with Office 365 or CRM and data cannot be exported en masses.

Our users are love being able to submit their requests any time from any device. BreatheHR Support are amazing.

Great team building resource. Employees battle for the WOW ratings.

No dislikes, Earlier I had a issue with the website, the server gets down frequently, hope this problem will be solved.

Easy to use and a valuable way to collect customer feedback.

Great tool as part of a larger tool kit to measure team member success or need for improvement.

How can I fix something when I do not know why or who gave me a bad review.

It is an effective tool to reinforce work. Hively seamlessly manages workforce and enhances strategic recognition which results better communication and responsive customer feedback.

It helps provide a very accurate reflection of an organization's customer service based on the feedback received from its users.

Very happy to collect feedback that I can transfer to my other customer interface points including business cards, website, social media, email campaigns.

Great way to keep track of employees customer service.

We'be also been able to use the positive feedbacks for referrals. The staff love knowing that their work is appreciated and the clients like how easy it is to use.

It's nice to be able to share what a great job they are doing directly from customer feedback (and, not just from hearing it from me.).

Hively is interesting enough to keep your attention through its smart video organizational tactics and interesting popular feed as well.

It provides yet another platform for someone to say they are dissatisfied, however unless they provide me with a reason or example, there is nothing I can do to change.
