## Reviews

### "Basic but functional" — 4.0/5

> **Ellie** | *03 April 2024* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: OpenHR was a good platform for basic HR processing. It did the basics well, it was functional and did what it said it would. It worked well for benefit management as we were able to configure it to some of our specific nuances. It was also good at reports as each report was very easily configured to what was required.
> 
> **Cons**: It wasnt user-friendly. The self-service employee portal did not look 'pretty' and it had a very Microsoft 90s feel about it. 
The configuration of the platform could only be done by out IT colleagues who had the expertise, whereas most systems now can be configured by HR teams.

### "Software muy completo y eficaz en la gestión de recursos humanos" — 5.0/5
