Head of Business Development Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 5/31/2024 "Frustrations with Performance Management function" 3.5/5 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. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? Making absence management easier and slicker Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DB Doug B. Trustee Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/16/2024 "Great product for small businesses who work with an HR Consultant" 4.5/5 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. What problems is Breathe solving and how is that benefiting you? It gives me a good, affordable solution to get small businesses onto an HR system that don't require a bigger, more complex product to meet their needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
