Each of them has all the customisation options we need to make the system work really well for our processes. The new core UI makes it really easy to see everything in one place, and employees rarely need help finding what the need. The payroll integration works really well and saves us upkeeping two different sets of employment data. The bureau are really responsive and knowledgeable. > > **Cons**: The recruiters portal is hopefully next on the list for a UI refresh as it's a bit dated but it does everything we need. Self service of changing the email notifications is apparently coming which will be better for us to more frequently update them. > > We had a great implementation experience, and the customer service are responsive whenever we need anything. They engage us with upcoming improvements and everyone we speak to is genuinely nice. ----- ### "We keep willing it to work..." — 1.0/5 > **Suzanne** | *15 July 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: If it works, has the potential to be a great system. Good to add training events but would be better if more automated and also had a waitlist function. > > **Cons**: Does not work, too complicated for admin users. Reports on pivots so you have to cut and paste onto another excel to manipulate it, utilise report. > > Still waiting for it to work properly but it has been terrible. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been fantastic - 2 shining lights in the total darkness that is CIPHR. ----- ### "ciphr recommendation" — 4.0/5 > **Claire** | *29 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system is user friendly and contains everything you need for the employee life cycle. It provides value for money and the customer support is invaluable. > > **Cons**: The reports section is difficult to use and there needs to be a level of support between the initial training and then putting this into practise. > > I've had an amazing experience with ciphr. It is a collaborate experience and with available support.\[sensitive content hidden\] has been a great support throughout. ----- ### "Feedback from Henry Ford Academy" — 4.0/5 > **Olga** | *13 October 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Ciphr Learning Management System (LMS) offers the essential core functionality and flexibility required to create the learning environment we envisioned for our users. It also provides our dealer management team with the necessary reporting capabilities and tools to manage team training effectively. We've also noted recent improvements in the system update process and related communications. > > **Cons**: In the past, we faced difficulties with prolonged resolution times for system issues. Nevertheless, we now recognise that company-wide improvements have fostered more efficient concern resolution and established more robust processes for addressing system-related problems. > > Since its launch four years ago, the system's functionality has evolved considerably. During this period, the company has also undergone internal restructuring. Overall, we are pleased with our current relationships and the status of our contract. ----- ### "Efficient HR & Payroll Management with Excellent Customer Support" — 5.0/5 > **Sue** | *29 January 2026* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Ciphr is how proactive and helpful their customer support team is. Every interaction I’ve had with them has been genuinely positive. The system itself is easy to navigate, with plenty of resources to help you along the way (not that you need them). It’s also really flexible—there’s lots you can configure, and it handles a wide range of scenarios like absence management without any fuss. Ciphr are clearly focused on further modernising and improving the platform. The planned updates really show their commitment to making things even more user‑friendly and keeping them ahead of the game. > > **Cons**: Honestly, I’m struggling to find any negatives – I’ve always been able to find a solution with help from the Customer Services and Payroll teams. One thing I’ve learned is that just because you think the system can’t do something, doesn’t mean it actually can’t. Just reach out to Ciphr, and they’ll come back with a solution every time. > > My overall experience with Ciphr is that it is a reliable, supportive HR and payroll system that keeps improving and makes day‑to‑day processes smoother. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/147124/ciphr?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/147124/ciphr) ## 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 | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
