Humaans Reviews

“impressive design and effortless onboarding

Pros

We're really impressed with this platform from the product itself (some of the best design I've seen) to the feature set and the onboarding felt effortless. We actually tried Rippling before and that turned out to be a mistake after several months of getting set up there we were left frustrated with a system that felt broken and unreliable.

Cons

No issues have arisen and I see that the team is actively rolling out new features

“automation improves HR operations

Pros

For our company this solution has totally transformed how we run HR operations. The interface is remarkably simple which makes it feasible for our whole team to move around the system and get tasks done faster. The automation tools have honestly been a lifesaver, they align workflows and free up a lot of the time we used to spend on tedious administrative work. I rely on it for a huge range of HR activities, from onboarding new employees and managing absences to keeping track of performance reviews. The people behind the product are fantastic as well, they respond quickly, know their stuff and are always happy to help when we throw them unusual customization asks. They follow up with detailed attention and keep releasing updates that add features and improvements so it's clear the developers listen to customers and refine the platform to match our needs.

Cons

Honestly I can't think of anything negative. Ehenever we've had a problem or asked for changes they reply immediately and are continuously enhancing the platform.

“Powerful HR analytics

Pros

I think this HRIS stands out as the best I've ever used. The user experience is top-tier, it's simple, clean and clearly designed with real people in mind which mattered a lot for our younger workforce. People pick it up quickly so we've greatly reduced training time. What really impresses me are the data capabilities, the real-time insights and analytics make answering questions and producing reports fast so I don't have to open Power BI all the time. The Tables feature has been especially helpful for me and our Finance team when we're handling compensation reviews. On top of that, the support team consistently goes the extra mile to help which feels like a refreshing change from the long ticket queues I've had to deal with from other vendors.

Cons

I have no real complaints. This is an excellent system supported by a remarkably helpful team that actively seeks customer feedback and actually incorporates those suggestions into their roadmap so I feel heard and confident the product will continue to improve.

“User friendly yet great HR tool

Pros

One of the things I appreciate is that it's an HR platform that's incredibly simple while still offering immense power and flexibility. So many HR systems end up being either dumbed-down or massively capable but toughly complicated to operate, in my experience this product manages to be both user-friendly and great, with a clear emphasis on data and managing that data effectively. The team consistently welcomes our feedback and have an ambitious roadmap aimed at scaling companies. We began using it when we were roughly 200 people and it continues to be the backbone of our people data as we near 1,000 employees and beyond.

Cons

Like with any HRIS there are a handful of features I wish existed now that haven't been built yet though none of them are deal-breakers. The product team actively asks for our input, regularly checks what we're trying to solve and invites us into design reviews so they can validate the use cases we rely on as they iterate the platform.

“fast reporting with tables

Pros

I've found this HRIS to be the most simple system I've ever used. Everything is out in the open, no hidden menus so I can make quick updates and pull reports in seconds. The "Tables" feature is one of my absolute favourites on the platform and makes working with data feel effortless.

Cons

Honestly I don't have any real complaints about this tool. That said, I'd like to see more integrations added and a fully featured AI capability down the road that could handle both customised company information and broader compliance guidance so employees can self-serve more effectively.

“Support boosts productivity

Pros

Using the platform every day for over a year, I have become much faster at my work. The customer success team has been amazing, whenever I email Matt for help, I get quick step-by-step guidance and useful tips and I find the whole experience enjoyable.

Cons

As with any HRIS adjusting to the constantly shifting demands of the HR space there are certain features that could use further development. That said the team welcomes our input and I regularly see the suggestions we share get implemented promptly and efficiently.

“Simplifies people operations

Pros

At my company I would recommend it to anyone trying to simplify People Ops tasks. Staff can move around the system, request time off and upload documents without confusion and I also like the Slack notifications for birthdays, new hires and announcements. Florencia guided our rollout calmly and the support team is always fast and polite so I save a lot of time.

Cons

I'd like more integrations such as with Remote and it would also be great to show the cities where people work from (temporarily).

“Central HR hub with aI

Pros

For me it works as a central hub that stores both HR and company information I can trust. The AI answers common questions using our data which lightens my workload and helps onboarding and offboarding run smoothly. I especially enjoy the events and "who's away" sections because I stay updated on team activities.

Cons

In my experience I would really appreciate a dedicated area that shows who is physically in the office and who is working from home. We have several team members on flexible schedules and I don't always know who will be in the office on any given day. Having a clear WFH vs. in-office view would help me plan meetings, desk allocations and day-to-day coordination much more easily.

“easy reporting and tables

Pros

Across our team we manage fields, reports, absences and documents without much trouble. The Tables feature became something I use daily and I get quick support replies with clear answers. Niall even sorted out messy data from our old HRIS and I got solutions whenever needed.

Cons

I'd appreciate greater flexibility to pick which fields appear on the profile page, for example, I would prefer to shift some items currently on the employment tab onto the profile. However our account manager recently demonstrated a handy workaround that really helped so this is a very small issue at this point.

“essential daily HR tool

Pros

In my day-to-day People work this tool has become essential. The tables help me find missing entries and do bulk edits so I save time and I appreciate the clean look plus frequent updates with new features.

Cons

Looking ahead I want to see more automation especially wider integrations (for example with Remote) along with stronger AI capabilities. I'd also love to see further development on Headcount and Compensation features.

“Organized HR with insights

Pros

From my perspective it keeps HR tasks simple and organized without making things hard. I can pull reports or insights easily, connect other tools when needed and I get fast support from setup to daily use so I save time often.

Cons

I realize they're still a fairly new platform so there are a few features I would like that either aren't available yet or are still in development from my perspective these have mostly been minor items like certain field types or additional views for company events. Despite those small gaps the team moves fast on new features and is very open to suggestions so I feel confident that requests get attention and improvements arrive quickly. Overall it's a small trade-off for how great the core product is.

“automated onboarding workflows

Pros

Within our organization employees use it fully because the design is clear. We automated many processes especially onboarding and I removed some older systems after moving to it.

Cons

There are a handful of features I wish were present now that would really help, like the ability to attach files to automated emails because at the moment we can't use that functionality without it. There are several other small, related features that I expect will be added in upcoming releases.

“Complete yet simple HRIS

Pros

After trying many employee platforms I would confidently recommend this one. I like how complete it feels while still being easy to use and I find the support team responsive and helpful.

Cons

Truthfully I can't find any faults. Everything's been smooth so far and I don't have anything to issue about.

“Simple system for employees

Pros

For our employees it works well as an HR system. I find it simple enough for everyone to use without much explanation.

Cons

For me the system is missing some particular insights I'd like to access which we currently don't have available, additionally, I think a Deel integration would be really useful.

“Modern automated HR platform

Pros

To me it feels like a fresh competitor to older HR tools. Employees find what they need quickly, updates keep coming with modern automation features and I received helpful and responsive support during implementation.

Cons

We're aware that some key features aren't live yet the vendor has assured us those are in active development and will arrive soon. We accepted this trade-off when we signed up, knowing it wasn't the HRIS with the largest feature set out of the box. As a fellow startup, we were prepared to grow alongside the product and invest in the partnership. From what we've seen, the team is committed to delivering those capabilities and I have confidence in their development roadmap and follow-through.

“Smooth integrations and tables

Pros

In my experience the platform welcomes feedback and keeps us informed about updates and roadmap plans. Integrations run smoothly and I find the table feature and compensation planning very useful for our team.

Cons

Since the platform is still fairly new there are a few features we'd like to see added but I'm realistic that improvements will arrive over time. We've shared feedback about reporting and payroll issues and they're currently working on those concerns.

“all HR data in one place

Pros

Since starting last December our staff adjusted quickly even during a busy leave period. I like having records, absences, policies and documents all in one place and I improved our setup over time with Niall's HR knowledge.

Cons

There isn't much to complain about only a few minor adjustments were needed and many of those have been addressed by recent updates such as adding approval steps for holiday requests. More improvements are on the roadmap. Integrating with our payroll system is the next feature we want but it isn't available just yet.

“Smooth rollout and self service

Pros

Across the business rollout went smoothly and our team can self-serve without much help. Customization options reduced admin work for me and I always got support and guidance when needed.

Cons

It would be useful if the platform could display part-time schedules and make part-timers' working days clearer, right now it's a bit hard to reflect varied working patterns. I raised this with the team and they're aware of the need, they told me they're working on adding that capability which I appreciate.

“focused HR solution

Pros

From what I've seen the company focuses on doing one thing well instead of trying to solve every problem. I appreciate that clear direction in the market.

Cons

We did find that time tracking still needs some work but our team and a bunch of inventive developers were able to come up with solutions which we're happy to share.

“Strong vendor support

Pros

During evaluation I was impressed by how Josh Ash and Ricky McCormack handled our questions and supported us personally. Their approach played a big role in choosing this solution and I have not regretted it.

Cons

There are a few features we'd like that aren't yet available in the system which is a limitation for us at the moment. However the vendor is actively improving the product and delivering upgrades so we believe those missing capabilities are likely to be released in future updates. It's a drawback now but I'm optimistic the gaps will be addressed as the tool continues to evolve.

“Clean interface and setup

Pros

Overall I appreciate the responsive support, clean interface and regular product updates. Implementation went smoothly for me and I find the integrations work the way I expect.

Cons

Honestly I haven't run into any downsides yet it covers everything I need so far. I do feel it's still evolving though and I expect a lot of new features and improvements to arrive.

“flexible integrations and reviews

Pros

The software looks great and its integrations let me assemble my HR stack step by step, the table feature enables smooth interaction between this app and Google Sheets and the new additions, like the compensation review, are fantastic.

Cons

I like the majority of it as it feels like since they're not as widely known as some other SIRH providers, they still have fewer integrations available but on the whole I'm satisfied.

“Scalable all in one HRIS

Pros

With more than 15 years working in the People/HR space, I genuinely feel this platform outshines other HRIS solutions for a number of reasons. From day-to-day use the interface is clean and logical, I find the layout simple and navigating between modules feels effortless which speeds up routine tasks. On the functionality side, it covers a broad range of HR needs, onboarding workflows, time-off requests, offboarding procedures and reporting are all baked in and work together smoothly. Integration capabilities are impressive too, the system links with many external tools we rely on which reduces manual data entry. Workflow management is handled thoughtfully, processes are easy to set up and follow, helping to prevent approval delays and handoffs getting lost. I've also been pleasantly surprised by the customer support and account management, live chat is available and responsive and that level of service really stands out compared with other vendors I've used. The implementation process was feasible in my experience, the software is designed to be set up without heavy technical resources. It scales well as teams grow which gives me confidence for future expansion. Finally, I'm enthusiastic about upcoming updates because the company appears committed to ongoing improvements and adding valuable new features.

Cons

Pre-onboarding functionality, At the moment I've noticed the platform doesn't include pre-onboarding data capture, you can't collect candidate or new-hire information before their formal onboarding starts. That said, I'm reassured because this capability is on the vendor's roadmap and expected in a future release.

“automates and aligns all workflows

Pros

For me it acts as a single source of truth for all our HR data, enables automation across every HR system I use and helps simplify and align our workflows and processes.

Cons

It still lacks some customization options though I'm aware those features are planned on the roadmap

“fast setup and records

Pros

We use it for maintaining all employee records and it plugs into all of our other systems. Setting it up was feasible, no problems and we had it fully operational in under an hour. Team members really enjoyed making their own profiles and having their information flow conveniently across the organization from hiring through onboarding.

Cons

The feature set in the US feels limited and I find it seems built with European companies in mind based on available integrations

“easy powerful HR management

Pros

This product feels very powerful and I use it easily every day. My team feels comfortable with it and I manage time off quickly while I also check employee details during onboarding.

Cons

No major complaints exist at the moment and I'm mainly eager for the team to expand faster and roll out more capabilities

“Responsive team fixes issues

Pros

Team solved my reporting and connection issues and I noticed real improvement. They listen to feedback and I see them working on practical fixes.

Cons

For smaller organizations I've noticed that while the HRIS products are strong, I find they aren't always the best fit if reporting isn't heavily relied upon

“Humaans for Web Developers

Pros

The software boasts a clean and minimalist interface, making it incredibly user-friendly and allowing for quick familiarization with its various functionalities. It offers an organized approach to storing all contract-related documents.

Cons

Integrating other software systems often incurs additional costs, as not all integrations are free, and some desired integrations may not be compatible.

“automated workflows save time

Pros

System focuses on one main job and I connect other tools without effort. We automated payroll and hiring and I save many hours while workflows handle tasks from preboarding to offboarding and I review clean reports.

Cons

More than one approver for holiday requests would be useful and I appreciate that the team has been responsive and worked with me on practical solutions

“fast and clear support

Pros

Working with the team is pleasant and I always receive fast support. Whenever I ask for help, I get clear answers.

Cons

Customization is still a work in progress yet I find recent product updates over the last twelve months have been excellent

“Simple system with quick updates

Pros

The tool stays simple in daily use and I notice frequent updates. Their support replies fast and I always feel guided.

Cons

Because it's a relatively new platform I notice gaps where expected features aren't available but I'm glad the team listens to requests and incorporates feedback into the roadmap

“Quick manager communication

Pros

Reaching out to managers is easy and I contact them anytime. They respond quickly and I trust the service.

Cons

The platform's features are fairly basic and I find it manageable for a small company but less suitable for medium or large organizations needing advanced capabilities

“easy for employees to learn

Pros

After training the system felt natural and I never got questions from employees. Everyone understands it and I manage work smoothly.

Cons

Greater flexibility and automation for managing custom fields would be helpful and I would appreciate seeing those enhancements

“Clear interface and workflows

Pros

Interface is clear and I navigate reports without confusion. Core HR features run well and I build workflows easily while I also get polite support.

Cons

Time management for part-time staff could be better and I find that the organizational chart won't display vacancies without paid placeholder profiles, complicating planning

“Stable platform with updates

Pros

Helpful features keep coming and I feel glad we joined early. We continue using it and I see stable performance.

Cons

No major complaints exist to mention and I find the overall system great

“automation reduces admin work

Pros

Using it daily reduces admin work and I notice more automation. I analyse employee data easily and I always get quick help.

Cons

Workflow-triggered automation like emails for promotions, onboarding, hiring and offboarding would be valuable and I would love to see those added

“Modern design with integrations

Pros

Design looks modern and I move around comfortably. It connects with our tools and I work faster.

Cons

We don't see it as a negative but several attractive features are behind a paywall, they look useful and we've definitely talked about buying those add-ons when our budget allows in the future.

“Minimal layout with customization

Pros

Layout feels minimal and I learned features quickly. I skip unnecessary extras and I still customise settings.

Cons

It feels a little UK-centric in places. For instance, the 'people leaving' area works really well for permanent contracts but when it comes to temporary staff who are likely to have their contracts extended, I find they can't schedule future holiday time because the system assumes they won't still be employed.

“Centralized employee records

Pros

Employee records stay in one place and I edit data in bulk easily. The system stays focused and I avoid unwanted modules.

Cons

They're still an early-stage company and I notice it some feasible features are missing compared to bigger rivals like HiBob, for example, booked vacations don't automatically sync to each employee's personal calendar.

“Trusted analytics and reports

Pros

Platform feels clean and I understand it instantly. I trust the analytics and I review reports confidently.

Cons

Personally, my only major wish is that the workflow features could connect directly with Gmail, for example, letting me push email templates straight from a workflow would make things much smoother.

“flexible self management

Pros

Managing tasks myself is simple and I adjust settings anytime. The system adapts well and I stay organized.

Cons

My main problem is that it's so poorly suited to Norwegian employment and vacation laws.

“User friendly with quick replies

Pros

From my experience, the interface is really user-friendly and they reply quickly to any emails or questions.

Cons

I've noticed it doesn't integrate with Remote, Asana or Float.

“easy leave and data export

Pros

I find it very easy for employees to book time off, the integrations with other systems are handy and I enjoy exporting people's data as CSV to manipulate it, the built-in analytics are simple to understand as well.

Cons

Not a con but I wish the Lattice integration supported true two-way syncing, at the moment, both platforms require some manual updates so I often end up updating entries in both systems to keep things aligned.

“Good fit for small teams

Pros

This tool suits small companies and I keep employee data and documents in one place. I follow processes easily and I like the time-off view while I also use the insights.

Cons

There aren't any approval workflows yet which makes scaling a challenge though I'm aware they're actively developing that capability.

“Simple reporting and leave management

Pros

System feels very easy and I use reports clearly. Integration helps daily work and I manage leave smoothly while I also appreciate the support.

Cons

Overall everything about the product is great. That said, we would love the ability to customize it further although I can see the team keeps rolling out impressive new features. It would also help to have more filtering options and I wish we could set working schedules in the tool since our team members follow different and frequently changing shifts.

“Helpful guidance and support

Pros

Platform feels simple and I navigate without confusion. Support helps quickly and I always get useful guidance.

Cons

There's nothing specific I dislike about the service but one limitation I run into is the inability to switch easily between multiple accounts, having an easy account-switch feature would really improve my workflow because it currently isn't available.

“No brainer for forward thinking companies

Pros

This software is incredibly easy to use, with an intuitive and visually pleasing interface. The customer support is superb, and it seamlessly integrates with other tools we utilize. Its flexibility is outstanding, and the constant updates bring continuous improvements.

Cons

Having the ability to bulk edit profiles would be a valuable feature to have.

“Humaans for Customer Experience

Pros

Humaans stands out in the HRIS market with its exceptional design. Having tested popular alternatives over the years, I've noticed a crucial difference: Humaans adopts a B2C approach, demonstrating meticulous attention to detail and a focus on providing an excellent customer experience.

Cons

The only missing component is the onboarding feature, but the team has assured us that it is in development. Let's wait and see!
