"Efficient HR with Clunky User Experience"
3/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I find the appraisals process in Access PeopleHR quite good. I like the ability to track and monitor progress, as well as the option to customise the process. It means there is no need to do everything on paper, and everything is saved in one place, which eliminates issues with remembering past appraisals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

It can be quite clunky and not user friendly. A bit overly technical and confusing to use at times. Reporting in particular is so difficult to use. It needs to just be far more simple and have pre-sets for obvious reports people will want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lucy Kirk of Access PeopleHR

Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concern about usability and would encourage you to reach out to the team for guidance on how to make the most of the features. We're always here to help you get the best experience!

"Cost-Effective HR Solution with Room for Improvement"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I love that Access PeopleHR provides a simple and self-service solution to annual leave and annual review processes all in one place. It's easy for the team to use. I also find our appraisals process straightforward with the opportunity for 360 feedback. It allows for good quality anonymous feedback and offers an element of customization so I can ask the questions I feel are important. Additionally, switching from Sage, I thought Access PeopleHR was a simple and cost-effective solution. The initial setup was straightforward and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

The goals section in the annual review form could be improved. We have also had some challenges with costing for licenses. I would like the ability to see all the goals in one place rather than having to open them up individually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback, Ian. It’s great to hear PeopleHR supports simple self-service leave and reviews, with flexible 360 feedback. We appreciate your comments on goal visibility and licensing costs, which are feeding into ongoing improvements. You can follow upcoming updates via our PeopleHR roadmap hub.

"Streamlines HR Tasks with Intuitive Interface"
5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I use Access PeopleHR as our central HR management platform. It helps me track time and attendance, including annual leave requests, so I no longer need spreadsheets. PeopleHR has a user-friendly interface that removes a lot of manual admin work. Key functions like employee records, reporting, document uploads, and approvals are clearly structured and easy to access, which really speeds up day-to-day tasks. The initial setup was relatively straightforward, especially for a system of its scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

I think reporting and analytics could be improved. Greater flexibility and a more user-friendly report builder would add significant value. A more intuitive custom report builder would be valuable. At the moment, it feels slightly technical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for sharing your feedback, Leanne. It’s great to hear that PeopleHR is helping streamline your HR processes and providing a central place to manage employee records, time and attendance, and annual leave without relying on spreadsheets. We’re pleased that the platform’s structure and user-friendly interface are helping reduce manual admin and making day-to-day tasks quicker and easier.

We also appreciate your comments about reporting and analytics. Feedback around making the report builder more flexible and intuitive is really valuable, and it’s something we’re continually working to improve so users can access insights more easily.

It’s great to hear that overall the system is supporting your HR processes and helping save time across routine tasks.

"Everything in One Place—Love It"
5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

Everything is in one place, including employee documents, one-on-one reports, and the leave planner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

It would be helpful to have an option to view the reason for the leave request when we drag it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback, Ishwarya. It’s great to hear you’re enjoying having everything in one place and that the system strikes the right balance with the level of information available, that clarity really makes a difference day to day.

We’re also pleased the dashboard and segmentation are working well for you, especially compared to previous systems you’ve used.

We appreciate your suggestion around viewing the reason for leave requests directly. That’s a really helpful idea and would definitely add more visibility when managing leave.

"Well-Designed, Easy Leave Management That Saves Time and Reduces Errors"
5/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

It’s well designed, easy to use, and clearly structured. It makes managing leave extremely simple for both employees and managers. The visibility is clear and helpful, and the automatic calculations save time while reducing the risk of errors that can happen when working things out manually. Overall, it cuts down on admin time, minimises mistakes, and keeps everything tracked accurately in one place, making the whole experience efficient and stress-free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

The navigation between different sections can feel inconsistent and often requires multiple clicks to complete simple tasks. For example, updating employee records or accessing reports isn’t always intuitive, and it can take time to remember where certain functions are located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

Thanks for your feedback. It’s great to hear how much value you’re getting from the leave management features, especially the clear visibility and automatic calculations. Knowing exactly what’s been used and what’s remaining without having to work it out manually really does make planning much easier and reduces the risk of errors.

We’re also really pleased to hear the system is helping cut down on admin time and keep everything accurate and organised in one place.

We appreciate your comments around navigation. Having to click through multiple areas to complete simple tasks can definitely slow things down, so that’s really useful feedback as we continue working to make the experience more intuitive.

"Efficient HR Tool with Room for Improvement"
4/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

I like the planner feature in Access PeopleHR because it offers an easy way to book and cancel leave. Additionally, the thanks feature is a great recognition tool that enhances interaction across the business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

I don't like the small glitches in the system which cause it to suddenly log out. The logbooks could be enhanced. Also, the automation of working patterns needs improvement to ensure that changes in working patterns link correctly with salary updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Taryn Schutzler of Access PeopleHR

""A good cloud-based HRIS solution for smaller organisations""
3/5
What do you like best about Access PeopleHR?

We're now receiving more updates on the product development roadmap (which is good to see) and it's slowly being incorporated into the suite of Evo apps. Our employees had a better experience with the Employee Performance app than in previous years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Access PeopleHR?

Whilst there has been lots of investment in Evo, some of the core functions of PeopleHR still feel quite dated - eg having to build our own probation tracking logbook Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lucy Kirk of Access PeopleHR

We're glad to hear that you are finding PeopleHR to be an effective HRIS solution with a straightforward interface and improved customer support. We appreciate your feedback on the Performance Review and ATS modules and will take it into consideration for future improvements.
