Grove HR Pros and Cons

We went live with GroveHR in Sept 2020 and we have been so pleased with this platform, it's performance, exceptional customer service and their commitment to always making their product better! Implementation was a breeze, with the dedicated implementation specialist, we were able to set up custom time off policies, custom user accesses, and custom fields that have made this system feel like it was tailor made for our company. When I do new hire orientation, I have a dedicated section to our GroveHR platform. Our new employees have positive feedback regarding their experience from being an applicant (their applicant tracking system is fantastic!) to onboarding, to new hire; GroveHR has elevated the experience for new hires and made hiring a breeze instead of a paperwork nightmare. The standard reports that GroveHR provides are exceptional and the ability to create and share custom reports is such a wonderful tool. Their customer service is responsive and quick to resolve any issues that have arisen and they welcome new ideas and suggestions. They provide updates on what is new and what is coming. I love that they are always improving their product! I'm looking forward to their latest updates on Payroll Management, as I hope to add that to our GroveHR offerings, once they have the ability to add some customizable or job information to time entries.

For any small business who is still using spreadsheets, using paper applications and paper enrollment, if you are not using an HRIS, you are wasting paper and .valuable time! More importantly, your employees are also missing out on an intuitive and exceptional onboarding experience! You owe it to yourself to check GroveHR out - this system literally saved me from hiring a part-time person! I would highly recommend GroveHR, as they are tuned into what small businesses need and want and have the ability to customize their platform. All of this makes it a great HRIS!

One major drawback which I feel that has to be included is the Bulk edit option while importing candidates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use interface for both HR and Employees. It promotes the culture of Self-Service and no-contact HR Transaction. Recently we launched the Attendance Module that introduced QR Code scanning for our employees using their mobile phones. This process eliminated the old biometrics system that is not hygienic for the current Pandemic Situation. Our company is also looking forward for the continuous innovation of GROVEHR and sustain the partnership with their whole team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since GROVEHR is an evolving system, i can say that some of the functionalities are not yet available such as, PDLs (Promotion, Demotion and Lateral Move changes), Payroll, Compensation/Benefits; however GROVEHR Team is constantly coordinating with me for any suggestions, recommendations that will help them for their future releases. Superb Customer Service and Partnership, I'm really amazed with this team and hopefully i can even work for them in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple, easy-to-use. The setup process is so simple to get started for an HR system. As a small company we only need something neat to get started and Grove HR exceeded that. The UI is fantastic given a free product like this, it's feel like a mini WorkDay version, of course not that comprehensive but definitely fit for HR team below 3 people.

Some of the features are not grouping in the right way. Why onboarding process is under checklist and the onboarding feature is actually just a checklist, you can't enforce people to submit or complete it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is super easy to use. All options are available on the homepage and is easy to handover to the HR team without the need for a ton of training.

Ability to manage holidays in advance for all employees and easy to use recruitment features is a pro.

Good for Core HR. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software is still in its infancy stage. Lots of features are being developed right now.

Employees attendance is difficult to manage and view at a glance. Also biometric integration is not present at the moment.

The mobile app has very limited features at the moment and cannot be used to mark attendance which would be a big plus.

The software is missing features to manage performance of employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I haven't found a way to change the currency to my local currency. Maybe I haven't looked at it properly. I'm still learning it but I'm enjoying it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It covers the complete employee life cycle and the mobile app helps in seamless communication and better engagement between employees and the HR department, cost is inexpensive and is free is one more advantage and a very decent UI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting and analytics of the overall tool can be better and customization can improve Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is the best platform for small and medium businesses, cost-wise it's free and like how it can be easily used as mobile apps and we liked its UI as a team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Few fields can be customized and data analytics can be added otherwise it's quite good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The experience of getting a tool which is user friendly, easy accessible, and very convenient to use. The team helping us to understand the things are better are so helpful and supportive in terms of prompt responses, satisfactory replies,helpful advises etc. Also the Mobile Application is a bane to us. Literally. It is the best thing for any startup or new company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as such is disliked about Grove HR by us. It is the best HR Tool. Its just that the attendance part can be upgraded. The mobile app does not support the clock in/ clock out thing, they have to scan the QR code every time. It would be great if it is available in the mobile application.

Visualized Design, Kept improving its features

I can see Recruitment Process would be more effective with this system, such suitable for medium-size company (<500 HC). B Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It's a bit difficult for such a group of more than one company when drawing the organization chart and its matrix of interaction. Trying to find out at my trial account

- Not sure yet whether the system could help us to generate candidates from different sources and platform automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
