Breathe has streamlined our HR processes and saved us time on admin. Breathe is incredibly user-friendly, even for those who aren’t tech-savvy. I especially like how clean and intuitive the interface is, everything from booking leave to reviewing performance is straightforward. It’s easy to navigate, requires very little training, and gives a clear overview of our team at a glance. The self-service functionality has empowered our team to manage their own records, which saves us so much time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are occasional limitations with customisation, especially around reporting and integrating with other systems. It would be great to have more flexible dashboards or more integrations with payroll tools. Sometimes the performance review templates can feel a bit rigid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is handy to keep all employee records in one place and makes it easier to track holidays/ sickness and breathe will even analyse the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be good if a calendar were included in the basic subscription, so that if changes are made in Breathe, they would also update on Outlook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the platform incredibly easy to use and very intuitvie - its easy for the team to use and navigate and me myself as a HR administrator. I find the interface to be clean and simple, it's very flexible with all of the features you can add to, I like the idea of your whole employee profile with promotions etc being in one place. Automated reminders are really good for keeping things streamlined. I can see easily when someone has made a change in their profile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to be able to see all info on a staff member in one page rather than going to all the different tabs, maybe could do jump to X section instead? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's useful to see when other people in the company are off so you can choose your dates knowing that they are most likely to be approved. Sickness is also very easy to record and refer back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I believe this an additional paid for feature, but cancelling holiday required authorisation before we can book anything else, which can lead to delays.

Also, HR Users dont show which the rest of the company you have to search for them seperately, and they also dont show in the group calendar so you can't see when they are off. In small businesses this is really useful to have the visibility of the entire company even if they are a HR user, or Managing Director. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

User-friendly with an interface that is easy to navigate. The Intercom forum is very useful for finding instructions on how to do different things and how to use/navigate through the system. The customer support is also excellent and easy to get through to. Also integrates with Hireful, which is great for streamlined recruitment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Reporting could do better, custom reports could be very useful. You can extract loads of data via full data reports, but this involves loads of filtering and data manipulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to go from different client portals. Centralised documentation and an easy platform to navigate. Makes for an efficient relationship as a remote consultant when helping employees and the employers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not being able to change working patterns and holiday allowances in advance was a big one, but the recent update has changed this which is great.

I would like the Time and Attendance module to be a bit easier to understand! I have a lot of clients that using clocking in software and are therefore reluctant to move to BreatheHR as it doesn't quite fit their needs, nor do I understand it well enough to promote it. I have a call arranged with my Account Manager to hopefully resolve this too.

It would be good to be able to bulk upload Company Documents as this is time consuming! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's an easy platform to manage a team in one place with easy access to their profiles/documents/training. It hasuseful tools to help manage things like annual leave (such as displaying the % used vs the days worked etc). I can also upload all their paperwork into the system for only myself and them to see. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do find the layout a little tricky to navigate sometimes - I might find a page of useful info and then struggle to find it again a second time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of annual leave booking and inputting of sick days, and especially the shared calendar - makes it simple and effective to see who is and isn't available each day of the week. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The onboarding and recruitment process for new staff could be better. Although the system does provide this, it is very limited in its capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is plain and simple to use, no difficult set up as there was such an ease of implementation. The account manager we have at customer support is great and the frequency of use has skyrocketed. There are a number of features which we would like our partners to use more but this has been something of a slow burner and more support on this would be great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The offboarding tasks could be integrated more smoother and if there is an integration to payroll systems and docusign, this would make it easier to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Breathe HR makes it really easy to manage day-to-day HR tasks like tracking holidays, absences, and employee records. The interface is simple and straightforward, which means you don’t need a lot of training to get started... I also like the automated reminders for probation reviews and appraisals - it’s a small thing, but it helps keep everything on track. The document storage feature is handy too, especially for keeping contracts and policies in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some room for improvement. The lack of customisation can be frustrating if your company has specific processes or reporting needs. I’d also like to see better integrations with other systems like payroll, as switching between platforms slows things down. Notifications can be hit or miss as well... sometimes you don’t realise something needs approving until it’s too late. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
