What I like best about Breathe HR is how user-friendly it is, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. It’s designed to be straightforward and accessible, so clients can easily manage key HR tasks without getting bogged down by complexity. It’s a reliable, effective system that makes HR administration so much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One thing I’d love to see in Breathe HR is a built-in e-signature feature for documents. It would make managing signed agreements and important paperwork even more seamless, adding to the platform’s efficiency and convenience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows me to keep track of absences, holidays, training and learning all in one portal. Loads of features and easy to use once you get to know where you need to be. Great for storing and controlling company documents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I find it difficult to navigate to where I need to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Breathe for a few different clients. It covers all the bases for a small business such as ours, and the ease of managing holidays, personal records, reviews and documents all in one place has saved us a lot of admin time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We would like to see some improvements on attaching objective documents etc to staff reviews - we can save documents elsewhere, but it would be good to have all these things in one place but only a small gripe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Breathe is proving to be useful for Absence management - leave, toil, sickness etc. The ease of implemetation of these features is impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Performance Management function has enormous potential but is proving to be frustrating. We wanted to create a report for our management team that showed everyones progress on their Objectives. Each member of staff had updated their progress, providing comments and the % of the Objective completed. The intention was to create a report that showed all those % percentages and the comments that staff had provided but we checked with Customer Support and it transpires that that is not possible. There appears to be no way to report either the comments that staff have left or the % progress. This would seem like a very useful function for anyone wanting to have an overview of progress across the organisation. I'm really surpirsed this function is not available. In the end we had to copy all the progress percentages into the report by hand. Very frustrating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Breathe is easy to use and very user friendly. We have modernised both our internal HR processes and our clocking in system. We use Breateh for everything! The rota and time clock functions are amazing and work perfectly with geotagging to our seperate locations - even allowing work from home! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a certain amount of set up time that you have to account for, however once up and running.. breathe can do it all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simple to use and navigate around, and has different pricing ranges depending on size of business and how many additional modules, if any are needed. It also integrates with Xero payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It needs to integrate with more payroll software providers. It also needs to update its coding so that the system can succesfully pro rata holiday automatically if someone changes their hours during the leave year, or starts on a part time basis. The work around is doable but needs manual intervention. It does however, pro rata holiday succesfully if someone starts part way through a leave year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's quick to set up and intuitive to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be a bit costly. It lacks some flexibility in shift pattern set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once it's set up, Breathe really simplifies the task of staying on top of everything from leave to supervision. I use it almost every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You only get out what you put into a system, so since we want to stay on top of our HR tasks, our team has to put in the data that will allow us to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
