Breathe Reviews

“Simple system but needs more custom tools

Pros

I've been using it for almost two years now and it's been a fantastic tool for managing holidays, keeping on top of policy documents, all that stuff. Getting around it is just so simple.

Cons

It would help if we could change things to fit our work better. More custom tools would be good.

“Great holiday tracking tool

Pros

It is really easy to use. The holiday calendar and the bit that shows my remaining allowance are super useful for keeping track of what I've booked and what I have left.

Cons

I wish it was one complete system like an app. That is my only small problem.

“Modern all in one powerhouse

Pros

We've completely modernised everything with it....both our internal HR and our clocking-in system. We honestly use it for everything! The rota and time clock functions are amazing, they work perfectly with geotagging for our different office locations and they even handle working from home easily. It's so user-friendly.

Cons

you have to spend time setting it up at the start. But once it is ready, it can do everything!

“Feature packed with smoother onboarding

Pros

What I like most is just how easy it is to use and the sheer number of features packed into it. It does so much.

Cons

The first steps when you join could be better. It could be faster and smoother. A checklist would help so you know what comes next. But after you are set up, it is very easy. The team is also quick to help.

“Brilliant for small business teams

Pros

I manage a few different clients through it. It really covers all the bases for a small business like ours. Having holidays, personal records, reviews and documents all in one place has saved us so much admin time. It's brilliant.

Cons

I wish we could add goal papers to staff reviews. We can save them in other places now. But it would be good to have everything in one spot. It is only a small thing.

“simple database with tricky login setup

Pros

Once you are able to log in, it's a really simple database to use and get around.

Cons

Setting up was easy except for the two-step login. That was a big problem to get working.

“Interactive and polished experience

Pros

It looks great, it's very easy to use and it's interactive...so you don't have to struggle to get the hang of it.

Cons

It would be nice if holiday math was better. It would save time. This would help when staff change their hours part way through the year.

“easy start but still learning

Pros

I am a new user, so I'm still finding my way around but the system is really easy to use and making changes is pretty simple..

Cons

nothing much so far. But I need to look closer at all the tools.

“easy holiday planning at a glance

Pros

I love how easy it is to request and approve holidays. Being able to see who is off before I book anything is a lifesaver. We actually embed the calendar on our company Intranet, so the whole team can see who's available at a glance.

Cons

Sometimes I have a hard time finding what I need. The new look helps, though.

“Simple for teams

Pros

so user-friendly, whether you are a manager or an employee. The design is simple and easy to use which means everyone in the team can understand it without any confusion.

Cons

it is for small and medium companies with up to 250 people. If you plan to grow past 250, it might not work for you.

“Quick to learn

Pros

It was so easy for our team to pick up and learn. They were using it confidently right from the start.

Cons

Some of the buttons are small. It is not super easy to find where to book time off.

“friendly but limited printing

Pros

I've found it really easy to use, both from a staff perspective and as a manager. It works well for everyone.

Cons

I cannot print the calendar right from Breathe. I wish I could.

“Dashboard makes life easier

Pros

the best bit is the dashboard. Having all my clients in one single space just makes my day so much more organised.

Cons

nothing bad came to my mind.

“Clean layout..

Pros

I love that everything is so easy to access. The layout is clear, so I can see what's changed without having to click through a bunch of different tabs just to find one piece of information.

Cons

I have not used it for very long. So far, no problems. If I find any, I will come back and say!

“Simple layout with minor pay info gap

Pros

It's the simple layout for me. Everything is clean and easy to spot. I can find my way around in seconds without hunting for things. That is what I like best.

Cons

It is a pain to find the pay info on the main page.

“fast navigation and strong support

Pros

I find the functionality really easy to use especially now with the new left-hand navigation menu. It makes everything quicker.

Cons

Nothing bad so far. The system and the help team are both great.

“Logical layout just works

Pros

Honestly, it's the simplicity and the logical layout that makes it so easy to use. It just makes sense.

Cons

Can't think of anything bad right now.

“best choice for staff

Pros

It's easy to use and my employees don't struggle with it at all. That's a big win in my book.

Cons

It would be nice if it could do more for planning team work and events.

“flawless experience so far

Pros

Rolling it out to the staff was surprisingly easy. The implementation was smooth and problem-free.

Cons

There is nothing I do not like about it.
