sumHR Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about sumHR is how it combines simplicity, automation, and employee self‑service all in one platform, which is perfect for our growing B2B team. The leave and attendance automation is incredibly smooth, saving us hours every week by eliminating spreadsheets and back‑and‑forth emails. The employee self‑service portal makes HR much more efficient, allowing team members to handle payslips, updates, check attendance, and submit expenses independently. The payroll module is straightforward and reliable, pulling in data automatically, which makes payroll quick and accurate. The integration with Google Workspace is also very good, making our operations seamless. Additionally, the initial setup was so easy that it didn't take much effort to get started.

First, the reporting and analytics are fairly basic. We can get standard reports for leave, attendance, and headcount, but we can’t customize dashboards, do deeper workforce planning, or visualize trends over time easily. More flexible and visual reporting would help with management decisions. The expense management module is functional but basic. It lacks things like receipt OCR auto-read, multi-level approval rules, and integration with corporate cards. For teams that travel or have client-facing expenses, it could be much more automated.

I like sumHR for its simplicity and intuitiveness. It covers all the essential HR needs like employee records, leave management, and onboarding without feeling overwhelming. I appreciate how it helps me eliminate manual HR work and confusion around people data, replacing spreadsheets and email chains by keeping employee records and leave requests in one place. I don't have to chase approvals or double-check balances, and it improves transparency. The transparency and visibility sumHR provides across the team is great, as managers can quickly see who's off and what approvals are pending. I also like that sumHR feels practical and focused. The initial setup of sumHR was straightforward and manageable, including importing employee data and configuring basic settings like leave policies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While sumHR works well overall, some features feel a bit basic and could benefit from more customization. Having more flexible filters or deeper analytics would make it easier to get insights without exporting data. I would also like more advanced reporting, workflow customization, UI/UX refinements, and stronger integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SumHR is the platform where our attendance is marked day to day. In earlier days, we used to clock in and clock out manually. A few months ago, our HR department linked the Biometrics with SumHR, and every time we give our fingerprint in the biometrics, our attendance is marked automatically. Our company runs our payroll based on these attendances, and our bank account is linked with this platform. If there are any events like anniversaries or birthdays, this platform notifies all our employees in the company as a reminder to celebrate those days in case our HR forgets. This platform helps us to remember. We can check the salary slip and easily download them whenever needed. When I need work off, I can directly apply from this portal and get approval from our manager. The interface of this platform is easy to use, and I can easily access it on mobile using the desktop version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our attendance is marked late in the SumHR platform as our biometric takes time to sync with SumHR. Sometimes it takes time for the page to load when trying to access. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like the most is the attendance module, and another attractive feature is the location-based functionality. Additionally, it effectively manages various aspects like workflow, company hierarchy, task assignment, and many more, making this application nearly all-in-one.

Some elements and pages in the mobile UI are not functioning properly. For instance, when I tried to update my attendance, the input panel wouldn't open. Additionally, ongoing updates sometimes slow down the application process, which can be irritating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
