A bit hard to learn at first

Pros

I love how this brings all my HR stuff together in one spot. I can find all my employee info from a single place which makes everything way easier. It's super organized and really transparent. Plus, the interface looks clean and professional, so it's actually nice to use.

Cons

I am a new user and its bit complicated. There are so many features and options that it takes some time to learn everything. It would help if there was a tutorial guide or some clear instructions.

Helpful for the entire employee lifecycle in one place

Pros

Its helpful for everything in HR. I can follow an employee's whole journey from hiring to leaving, all on one platform. Having all my personal details in one place makes things simple and way less complicated. I can easily put in requests like for time off and I really like the learning section where I can do all my required courses. Having everything in one tool saves me so much time and effort, no more jumping between different systems. It's a win for both me and the HR team.

Cons

I think the ui could be better. Its sluggish compared to some other similar tools I've used which slows me down.

great app for working from home

Pros

This is the best app for working from home. The login/logout is easy, I can apply for leave, access my payslips and it works great on my phone. It also makes it simple to keep track of my team's time off.

Cons

It takes time to get used to but other than that, it's a very good application. I highly recommend it. Just a few things could be made easier to understand quickly. The training part is also a bit tricky.
