"Breathe is a simple-use and beneficial HR system for small businesses"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

"The best HRIS I have used"
5/5
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

Response from Anneli Briars of Breathe

Thank you for your positive feedback on Breathe's ease of use and the support from your account manager. Please submit your suggestions for improving offboarding tasks and integrating with payroll systems and docusign as an idea via the Breathe portal; your input will be considered as we continue to enhance our platform.

"A straightforward HR system that gets the job done"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Breathe?

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.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

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.

"User-friendly platform, smoothing-out HR processes"
4/5
What do you like best about Breathe?

It's really helpful to be able to monitor things like holiday and TOIL, and especially for a team who's time is logged as hours and not days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

If you only use certain elements of the platform, you can sometimes be overwhelmed by the options available to you that you don't ever need to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Anneli Briars of Breathe

We're glad to hear that Breathe is helping you streamline your HR processes and track employee-related paperwork. We understand that having too many options can be overwhelming, and we're constantly working on improving the user experience to make it more intuitive for our customers.

"Great functionality but could be streamlined."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Breathe?

Breathe has a wide variety of functionality: Calendar, leave, trianing, company documents and so on.

It is fairly easy for the team to use and it is great to find everything in one place.

Admin access makes it easy for management to stay on top of processes and organisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

Some elements are not intuative, such as where to find Kudos, or onboarding sessions. Some elements seem like although they are available, they are hidden.

There could be added functionality, such as being able to export the Organisation Chart, or view company training as a whole rather than person by person.

Onboarding sessions have to be assigned to a person one by one, rather than multi select. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great HR System"
4/5
What do you like best about Breathe?

Easy to navigate dashboard with lots of options for employees to pick from when adding leave, and me when I add absences. Easy to implement within the team.

I use Breathe daily and am therefore familiar with the system and how we integrate this into our HR processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not had any problems to date so cannot comment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breathe?

when trying to use resources like holiday calculator - the page is confusing with ads to sell add ons when i just want to get to the resource. the page almost seems to advertise to someone who doesnt have breathe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Anneli Briars of Breathe

We're happy to hear that Breathe has been beneficial in bridging the gap between HR consultants and clients. We'll take note of your feedback about the holiday calculator page and strive to enhance the user experience.
