I enjoy using Breathe HR as it is very user-friendly and you can see all HR matters for employees in one place. It is very easy to keep track of annual leaves and sickness days. Employees can see their appraisals and dowload training certificates if they wwant to. You can also keep all important personal documents for staff and share essential company docuemtns that all employees should know about. It is a one stop shop!

I don't have any negative feedback to give so far, except that it would be good to have a chat box where you can speak to someone directly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the platform incredibly easy to use and very intuitvie - its easy for the team to use and navigate and me myself as a HR administrator. I find the interface to be clean and simple, it's very flexible with all of the features you can add to, I like the idea of your whole employee profile with promotions etc being in one place. Automated reminders are really good for keeping things streamlined. I can see easily when someone has made a change in their profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would love to be able to see all info on a staff member in one page rather than going to all the different tabs, maybe could do jump to X section instead? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's useful to see when other people in the company are off so you can choose your dates knowing that they are most likely to be approved. Sickness is also very easy to record and refer back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I believe this an additional paid for feature, but cancelling holiday required authorisation before we can book anything else, which can lead to delays.
Also, HR Users dont show which the rest of the company you have to search for them seperately, and they also dont show in the group calendar so you can't see when they are off. In small businesses this is really useful to have the visibility of the entire company even if they are a HR user, or Managing Director. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy to go from different client portals. Centralised documentation and an easy platform to navigate. Makes for an efficient relationship as a remote consultant when helping employees and the employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Not being able to change working patterns and holiday allowances in advance was a big one, but the recent update has changed this which is great.
I would like the Time and Attendance module to be a bit easier to understand! I have a lot of clients that using clocking in software and are therefore reluctant to move to BreatheHR as it doesn't quite fit their needs, nor do I understand it well enough to promote it. I have a call arranged with my Account Manager to hopefully resolve this too.
It would be good to be able to bulk upload Company Documents as this is time consuming! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's an easy platform to manage a team in one place with easy access to their profiles/documents/training. It hasuseful tools to help manage things like annual leave (such as displaying the % used vs the days worked etc). I can also upload all their paperwork into the system for only myself and them to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I do find the layout a little tricky to navigate sometimes - I might find a page of useful info and then struggle to find it again a second time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that it is plain and simple to use, no difficult set up as there was such an ease of implementation. The account manager we have at customer support is great and the frequency of use has skyrocketed. There are a number of features which we would like our partners to use more but this has been something of a slow burner and more support on this would be great.

The offboarding tasks could be integrated more smoother and if there is an integration to payroll systems and docusign, this would make it easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Breathe HR makes it really easy to manage day-to-day HR tasks like tracking holidays, absences, and employee records. The interface is simple and straightforward, which means you don’t need a lot of training to get started... I also like the automated reminders for probation reviews and appraisals - it’s a small thing, but it helps keep everything on track. The document storage feature is handy too, especially for keeping contracts and policies in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some room for improvement. The lack of customisation can be frustrating if your company has specific processes or reporting needs. I’d also like to see better integrations with other systems like payroll, as switching between platforms slows things down. Notifications can be hit or miss as well... sometimes you don’t realise something needs approving until it’s too late. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Breathe has a wide variety of functionality: Calendar, leave, trianing, company documents and so on.
It is fairly easy for the team to use and it is great to find everything in one place.
Admin access makes it easy for management to stay on top of processes and organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some elements are not intuative, such as where to find Kudos, or onboarding sessions. Some elements seem like although they are available, they are hidden.
There could be added functionality, such as being able to export the Organisation Chart, or view company training as a whole rather than person by person.
Onboarding sessions have to be assigned to a person one by one, rather than multi select. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the ease of use - having just come off maternity leave for a year i have easily managed to work with the updates that have happened whilst i have been away Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
when trying to use resources like holiday calculator - the page is confusing with ads to sell add ons when i just want to get to the resource. the page almost seems to advertise to someone who doesnt have breathe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Breathe allows you to manage holidays both in days and hours, log performance targets and upload documents. You can easily adjust access rights for different team members, and select if information should be visible by the employee. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be tricky to see an employees view to be able to talk them through the page remotely Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Breathe is easy to use with the same icons used througout to navigate accross the different functionality. It is focused on the type of client we work with, SME's with under 200 employees and works for a range of industries. Extra add on's mean that more functionality can be incorpoarted for an additional cost where needed. It is cost effective compared to other similar software on the market and means that our clients people data is all in one centralised location, saving them time. The friendly Partner Managers are on hand to asssit with any queries quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Breathe is focused on SME's with under 250 employees so for larger organisations there may be other software which is more suited but Breathe will cater for these clients also. Breathe tries to be as bespoke as it can be but sometimes there are little things you have to get round in other ways on the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
