Cezanne HR

Good features for the price, it does what we need it to

Pros:

The forms are a nice feature as it's helped us to keep everything in one place. The approvals work nicely, especially for recruitment considering it's not an ATS.

Cons:

Not everything is logical and it's easy to get stuck sometimes when setting up new processes. The integration was not as smooth as we had hoped, but this was rectified once we raised a concern.

Alternatives Considered: Breezy, Enboarder, Moorepay (Formerly Natural HR) and Talos ATS

Reasons for Choosing Cezanne HR: PeopleHR was not giving us the functionality we needed as we grew

Switched From: Access PeopleHR

Reasons for Switching to Cezanne HR: Cezanne was the right price and was transparent with the pricing. It had an integrated ATS and HRS and it integrates with Team Tailor.

Great easy to use system with lots of functionality!

Comments: A great HR system and really good support provided in terms of set up and help when you need it.

Pros:

Easy user friendly system from an administrator and employee perspective, lots of customisation options so that you can make it the right fit for the company.

Cons:

The mobile app is currently quite limited, it covers the basics though and I am sure will be built on.

Alternatives Considered: Sage HR and BrightHR

Reasons for Choosing Cezanne HR: The system was very basic and was being discontinued

Switched From: Croner Simply Personnel

Reasons for Switching to Cezanne HR: It was more easy friendly and had much more customisable options available

An adequate HR website that suffers from many minor issues

Comments: Cezanne has by and large improved the HR experience here, however a large part of this is due to how poor it was before Cezanne.
This is a great idea, with good ideas, that sadly falls short of the mark when considering user function.

Pros:

This software makes it easy to contact my company regarding sickness/annual leave/working from home/etc and provides a nice tracker to show exactly how many days I have taken, and, regarding annual leave, how many I have left. The Dashboard is useful for showing a brief overview of everything I have on there, such as unfinished tasks which is a useful reminder. From a management position it is useful as it allows the review of all employee's absences from one location and provides historical evidence of this. Reports on Starters/Leavers are available via email

Cons:

Many small issues with the software and the support team. The absence forms are unwieldy and could be greatly improved. One of the greatest improvements that could be made would be the removal of the redundant "OK" button on the absence request form as it literally serves no purpose. The Save button saves it, the Submit Request button submits it, the OK button tricks users into thinking something has been done. The Website itself is somewhat slow to load certain forms however this is manageable. The Home button is simply the Cezanne logo - inexperienced users might struggle to find this. When arranging leave, whether sickness or annual, I need to confirm that my co-workers can cover my shift, Cezanne does not appear to offer any means of CC'ing a co-worker in to the request which would be extremely useful. As a member of IT I require reports regarding Starters and Leavers from Cezanne - these are provided, however expire after a single opening of the link. I appreciate this is for security purposes, however a password protected document would achieve the same aim without totally wiping the data, often requiring re-sending of the email. On certain users in the office Cezanne simply does not work on Internet Explorer and though the support team was contacted several times no fix was ever found. I simply had to install Chrome on each users computer to get it working, however this is suboptimal as IE is the company standard as Chrome cannot be limited so easily.

Good value for money

Comments: For the users, it is great and simple to use.

Pros:

It is a complete system that covers all areas of HR.

Cons:

You have to set up the system yourself or pay for the support to do it for you. It is a complex system because offers you a lot but it doesn't work properly if you don't set up it properly.
