You pay them money for a service that fails at every turn. You can't reach anyone by phone. Wait, actually, they will call you several times a month trying to sell you a new service.

What I like best is that I can find all my coleagues in just one platform and for it is very easy to use. I will recommend this platform to my friends in other companies or other countries. I really like it.

There is a lack of features that I am used to seeing in other HRIS platforms. Most have to do with ease of use. Why can't I easily go between employee profiles for example? I either have to search for each employee or go back to the people page.
