"Straightforward Reporting and Reliable Daily Record-Keeping"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

It records all the information I need on a daily basis. Creating queries and reports is straightforward, and there’s always help on hand if I need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

An introductory training pack for the system when a new admin is set up would be really useful. I started a new job with no handover from the previous role holder, so it’s been tough going trying to work out how to get the best out of the system and use it effectively.

"A Practical and Reliable HR Solution for Everyday Business Needs"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

What I like best about Access PeopleHR is its simple, centralised approach to managing everyday HR tasks, making it easy for employees to update their information, book holidays, and use the “Thank You” feature to support a positive workplace culture. The platform performs reliably for daily use and helps reduce administrative workload through effective self-service. It also offers useful integrations with other business systems, making it easier to connect HR processes across the organisation. Pricing is generally competitive for the functionality provided, and support is available when needed to resolve issues. Additionally, the inclusion of AI-driven features and automation helps streamline processes, even if these capabilities are still relatively basic compared to more advanced systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

The main drawbacks of Access PeopleHR are its dated user interface and relatively limited customisation options, which can make it less flexible for more complex HR requirements. Reporting and analytics are fairly basic, particularly for tracking absence trends and performance insights. The performance management tools, while functional, lack the depth of more advanced systems and can feel slightly cumbersome to use. Additionally, while integrations exist, they are not as extensive as some competing platforms, and the overall user experience, especially on mobile, can be less intuitive than expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your detailed feedback. It’s great to hear PeopleHR is helping simplify everyday HR processes and reduce administrative workload through self-service, automation and centralised employee data. It’s also fantastic to know features like holiday booking, the “Thank You” functionality and integrations with other systems are supporting a smoother employee experience across your organisation.

We really appreciate your balanced feedback around the user interface, reporting, analytics and mobile experience. Insights like this are incredibly valuable, particularly around flexibility, performance management depth and the evolving expectations of modern HR systems.

It’s great to hear the platform is helping your business move away from manual processes and creating a more organised, efficient approach to HR management overall.

"Flexibility to personalise data you store and report"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

The ability to build "Logbooks" which allow us to capture non-standard data. This is really important in our industry which is highly regulated and requires us to monitor or report on information that might not typically be required by standard HR teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

The holiday and working pattern function does not work well for some of our workforce. Due to the nature of the industry we have staff on random rosters and this is managed on a specalised system outside of the system. It means holiday booking for this team also needs to be outside the system unfortunately. This is a very industry specific issue due to one group of workforce and the system works better for our more standard working patterns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your detailed feedback. It’s great to hear the flexibility of Logbooks and reporting is delivering real value for your organisation, especially within a highly regulated industry where capturing and reporting on non-standard data is so important. It’s also fantastic to hear features like Hotsheets are helping improve visibility and reporting across departments as your business scales.

We appreciate your honest feedback around holidays and working patterns for more complex rostered teams. That’s really valuable insight, particularly for industries with non-standard scheduling requirements where flexibility is critical.

It’s great to hear the platform is helping provide a central source of truth for documents, reporting and workforce information overall.

"Stable Core HRIS, but Dated, Clunky, and Limited Flexibility for the Price"
1.5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

PeopleHR meets core HR system requirements and provides a single place to store employee data, manage basic processes, and maintain records. It is broadly functional for core administration (e.g. employee records, basic absence tracking, document storage), and once set up, it can be used in a consistent way across a business.

The platform is stable enough for day-to-day use, and it covers the fundamentals required of an HRIS without major barriers to entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

The system lacks flexibility and feels dated in several key areas. Many modules do not align well with modern HR practices, and configuration/customisation options are limited.

Overall, the system can feel clunky, and processes are often shaped around system limitations rather than good HR practice. I would not consider it to offer strong value for money, particularly when compared to alternative providers that could deliver a similar level of service at a significantly lower cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. It’s good to hear that PeopleHR is providing a stable, centralised platform for core HR administration and helping create consistency across employee records, absence tracking and day-to-day processes.

I’m sorry to hear the platform has felt limited in flexibility and outdated in certain areas for your organisation. Your comments around configurability, modern HR practices and processes feeling constrained by system limitations are incredibly valuable feedback, particularly when evaluating long-term business impact and value for money.

I’d really appreciate the opportunity to understand more about your experience and the areas where you feel improvements would make the biggest difference. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at taryn.schutzler@theaccessgroup.com.

"Effortless Employee Management and Onboarding"
4/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I like that Access PeopleHR makes onboarding really easy, which simplifies adding new people. I appreciate the training feature, which looks really good. It saves us from having to build the material ourselves. The initial setup was also very easy; we just provided our data, and it was uploaded automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

I think a lot of it comes down to the user, so myself, rather than Access PeopleHR. I need to look better at the automation side of things. I'm certainly not using the ATS as well as I could be. It's there. I just don't use it. I need some sort of API functions that I need to sort out on my end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback, Mike. It’s fantastic to hear PeopleHR is helping make onboarding simple and manageable for your team, and that the setup process felt smooth and straightforward from the beginning. It’s also great to know the training functionality is delivering value and helping reduce the need to create materials from scratch.

We appreciate your honest comments around automation, ATS usage and API functionality. That’s really valuable insight, and it’s great to hear you can already see further potential within the platform as you continue exploring more advanced features.

It’s great to hear the system is helping centralise employee information, monitor training and appraisals, and streamline onboarding overall.

"Centralised HR Data That Makes Trend Analysis and Reporting Easier"
5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

What I like best about Access PeopleHR is that it keeps employee data, absence records, and HR information in one central place. From a data analyst perspective, this makes it easier to review trends, check data consistency, and support reporting around headcount, attendance, and workforce planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

What I dislike about Access PeopleHR is that some reporting options can feel limited when you need deeper analysis. I would like more flexibility to customise reports, combine different HR data fields, and export data in a cleaner format for further analysis in Excel or Power BI. Sometimes it also takes extra checking to make sure the data is consistent across different sections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback, Saman. It’s great to hear PeopleHR is helping centralise HR data and making it easier to analyse trends around absence, headcount and workforce planning.
