As a current user of ZenHR

5.0 last year

Comments: As a new employee in our company, I can see who my colleagues as well as the hierarchy. There is also calendar to track the holidays. It is so helpful for me. Especially I have all my important documents stored in the system.

Pros:

It is so easy to use and more convenient, you can install the app in your phone and even log in to your laptop. It can track where you time in and time out. It is accurately recorded. You can request documents you need and also you can access it any time in the system.

Cons:

In my 3 months of using ZenHR. I think none, I didn’t encounter any issues about it.

Efficient HR Solution with Room for Customization

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with ZenHR has been very positive. The platform offers a user-friendly interface and a comprehensive set of tools that make managing HR tasks more efficient. It simplifies processes like payroll, employee onboarding, and performance tracking, which has been incredibly valuable for our team. I also appreciate the customer support, which has been responsive and helpful. However, there are a few areas where I see potential for improvement. For instance, expanding the customization options for reports and workflows would be a great enhancement, as different organizations may have unique needs. Nonetheless, ZenHR is a strong, reliable solution, and I’ve seen firsthand how it helps streamline HR operations

Pros:

is its innovative approach to simplifying and automating HR processes. The platform's user-friendly interface, combined with its comprehensive range of features, shows a clear understanding of the challenges HR departments face, especially in growing businesses. I also appreciate the company's commitment to creating a positive workplace culture, both for its clients and its own team, which reflects in ZenHR's focus on enhancing employee

Cons:

One aspect I found could be improved in ZenHR is the customization options for certain features. While the platform is generally intuitive and efficient, offering more flexibility in tailoring specific tools to the unique needs of different businesses could enhance the user experience even further. That said, I appreciate that ZenHR is constantly evolving, and I’m confident these areas will continue to improve with time

Mixed feelings

3.0 last year

Pros:

Nothing stands out to be honest. I've used a few before BambooHR and ZenHr, I really encourage you to have a look at BambooHR, simple and easy to use, as a manager I've always found it easy and efficient to use it.

Cons:

Employee tree and vacation module. My main use case is managing leave requests and the UX for doing so in ZenHR is far from perfect.

Comprehensive and User-Friendly HR Solution with Minor Improvements Needed

5.0 3 months ago

Comments: My overall experience with ZenHR has been positive. It offers a user-friendly interface, comprehensive HR features, and helpful automation. It's especially strong in compliance with local labor laws. However, it could improve on integration options and mobile app functionality. Despite these, the customer support is responsive and resolves issues quickly. Overall, it's a reliable HR solution.

Pros:

User-friendly interface that’s easy to navigate. Comprehensive HR features covering payroll, attendance, and performance management. Automation of manual tasks saves time and reduces errors. Compliance with local labor laws, tailored for MENA markets. Employee self-service for leave requests and payslips. Cloud-based, enabling access from anywhere.

Cons:

Limited integrations with other software, which may require manual data entry or additional workarounds. Customization limitations in some features, especially for businesses with very specific needs. Occasional bugs or glitches reported, though usually resolved quickly by support. Learning curve for first-time users, especially when setting up more advanced features. Mobile app functionality can be limited compared to the desktop version.
