It also has a gps app incorporated into it which makes it ideal for Domicilliary care. ----- ### "Straightforward and user friendly." — 5.0/5 > **Theresa** | *25 February 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: As a smaller employer with no previous system, I have found the implementation of PeopleHR simple and straightforward, and most importantly easy to use for employees with no experience of using a HR system previously. > > **Cons**: I don't like the bot and would much rather be able to easily access a real person to speak to when I have queries. It feels convoluted and not very helpful at times, and I use other sources to get answers to questions. > > I've used PeopleHR in a previous organisation, so when looking for a system it felt like the obvious choice. I wanted something I had full understanding of so that I could support our people for what was a big change for them. PeopleHR has enabled me to have a single source of truth for our employee data, and saves me bags of time each month. No more spreadsheets\! We've linked PeopleHR into our payroll software too - Paycircle - which has streamlined processes and increased accuracy. I like the different modules and having a system that we can build upon in time. ----- ### "D for disappointed" — 2.0/5 > **Hannah** | *25 February 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were told it would be able to do payroll and also be available in multiple languages and could be a time and attendance system that we could use to run payroll for 24/7 shifts. We were expecting a one stop shop for appraisals, reporting, stats, employee records. > > **Cons**: We aren't able to use the app efficiently or reliably. The training was incomplete and it couldn't do what we were sold in the sales pitch. > > We haven't been listened to and feel our onboarding was rushed and incomplete. We were only able to focus on certain areas ----- ### "Dissapointing" — 3.0/5 > **Lee-Anne** | *25 February 2026* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that all documentation is in one place, I struggle to find anything easy about using it. Customer care is lovely, but they can't change the way it was programmed. The org chart is lovely and good to use, although it can't be printed in the way you see it. > > **Cons**: It takes a lot of training to be able to set it up and use it. It is very hard to set up Ripple and queries. There are a lot of things you can't bulk upload or bulk change. The organisation chart is great, but then you can't save it the way it looks when viewing it. The help is mainly AI, and although it has helped a lot, it can't answer specific things about your company. The Dashboard is not very flexible. > > Disappointing. I have given many suggestions for updates, and some have been taken into consideration, but I feel I need someone to run through it and set it up properly for my team, and to stay in contact about training and using it. I realise this is an option, but it's expensive. ----- ### "disappointed" — 1.0/5 > **Uma** | *25 February 2026* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: the employee details section is good. recording salary details, storing documents are good and useful. only good thing is \[sensitive content hidden\] (training consultant), is been very helpful and patient answering my queries, but other than him others were not up to the mark. > > **Cons**: Calendar sharing reveals the reasons of absence compromising confidentiality, signature feature is not customisable, creating templates doesn't support copy paste, which loses all formatting, Approval rules are not straight forward. need a lot of time (hours and hours) setting approval rules, and many more that makes it very hard to use. the system is not user friendly at all. recording time off in hours, you can note the hours of absence only as comments. it also took several months for finance to sort the queries with invoices. system keeps triggering emails even after completing the tasks.... so many. reports filters are not easy to figure out. it is completely a missold product. ripple function is not what it was described to be. > > very disappointing. use of use is terrible. Confidentiality is compromised. it is not serving our needs and purpose. ----- Page: 1 / 24\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/211952/access-people-hr-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/211952/access-people-hr-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
