Employees actually log in, which surprised me

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. A workflow builder that removes routine approval admin. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Flexible enough leave rules to model BCEA correctly. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

What does not

Data is hosted offshore, which our information officer had to sign off.

Reporting is adequate rather than strong.

Employees actually log in, which surprised me

We had leave in a shared spreadsheet for six years. This was overdue. Flexible enough leave rules to model BCEA correctly. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. Two years in and nobody has suggested we look at alternatives.

What works

Applicant tracking well above its price point. Onboarding checklists removed most of the first week paperwork. The employee file holds everything in one place with proper permissions.

Managers use it without being chased

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. A workflow builder that removes routine approval admin. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. I would recommend it to a business of our size without hesitation.

Onboarding admin dropped by half

Managers approve leave from their phones now, which was the whole point. Flexible enough leave rules to model BCEA correctly. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

There are irritations, and none of them are the kind that make you look elsewhere. If you are weighing it up, do the trial with your own data and you will see it.

Our employment equity return took hours, not weeks

The employee file being in one place made our last inspection straightforward. Flexible enough leave rules to model BCEA correctly. That is the part that genuinely changed how we work. Nothing has come up in the last year that I would call a real problem. It is not perfect, and it is the right choice for us.

What works

Applicant tracking well above its price point. Reporting on headcount and turnover is available without asking IT. Leave requests and approvals happen on the phone without training.

What does not

Recruitment is a separate module at a separate price.

Fine platform, priced above what we use

Solid for the core, but we still keep a spreadsheet for the reporting we actually need. A workflow builder that removes routine approval admin. Beyond that it is more ordinary than the marketing suggests. It sits squarely in the middle for us, useful but not something I would champion. I would shortlist it, not necessarily pick it.

What works

Applicant tracking well above its price point. The employee record is well organised.

What does not

Performance management is basic. BCEA leave had to be configured rather than selected.

Response from the vendor26 Jan 2026

Thank you for this. We recognise the pricing concern and would like to review your plan with you, as there may be a better fit for your usage. Our team will be in touch.
