"Easy to use, cost effective HR management system"
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

""Breathe HR: An Essential, User-Friendly Solution for Small Business HR Needs""
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

"A robust solution for small business"
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

Response from Frankie Harvey of Breathe

Hi Allison, thank you for your review, it's great to hear that Breathe has saved you a lot of admin time and in return, saves you money. Thanks, Frankie

"Frustrations with Performance Management function"
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

Response from Frankie Harvey of Breathe

Hi Andrew, thank you for your review and your feedback in regards to reporting. We have submitted this as an insight and also sent your feedback to the relevant team here at Breathe who will consider this for future enhancements to the system.

"HR made simple!"
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

Response from Kayleigh Scarratt of Breathe

Thank you for the great review! We're so glad Breathe has helped modernise your HR processes and clocking system, especially with geotagging and remote work. We appreciate your feedback on setup time too - our team is always looking for ways to improve the onboarding experience, but we're glad to hear that once you're up and running, Breathe delivers everything you need. We're always here if you need anything! 😊

"Great product for small businesses who work with an HR Consultant"
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

Response from Frankie Harvey of Breathe

Thank you for your review and feedback, Doug. We have submitted your feedback as an insight to the relevant team here at Breathe who will consider this information for future enhancements to the system.
