One area that could be improved is the system’s overall performance and responsiveness, especially when handling large amounts of data or performing multiple tasks. Some processes could be more streamlined, and the user interface could be made more intuitive to improve the overall user experience. Additionally, improving system stability and reducing occasional delays would make daily operations more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SunFish by DataOn has significantly streamlined our HR and administrative operations.

Overall, we are very satisfied with the system and have no major complaints. The only minor challenge was the initial learning curve, as configuring advanced settings and custom reports took some time to get used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best is its deep alignment with Indonesian statutory regulations (such as PPh 21 TER, BPJS Ketenagakerjaan, and BPJS Kesehatan) combined with a highly flexible attendance and multi-shift management system. The automated synchronization between real-time attendance, overtime tracking, and payroll processing significantly reduces manual human error and speeds up month-end cut-offs. Additionally, the mobile Employee Self-Service (ESS) empowers staff to check payslips and submit requests seamlessly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The administrative web user interface (UI) feels somewhat dated and cluttered, which results in a steeper learning curve for new HR administrators. In addition, system performance can experience noticeable slowdowns during peak periods—such as morning clock-in rushes or end-of-month payroll cut-offs. Lastly, technical support response times for complex tickets or custom report configurations can be relatively slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I love most about SunFish by DataOn is its comprehensive and integrated features that support HR management needs. With various modules in one platform, processes like employee data management, attendance, payroll, and other HR needs can be carried out more effectively and efficiently. Additionally, the integrated system helps simplify management and monitoring of data in a more centralized manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some areas that I believe can still be improved are the ease of use of the interface, especially for new users who need time to understand some features. Additionally, the navigation process and access to certain features can be made simpler and more intuitive so that users can work faster and more efficiently.

What I love most about SunFish by DataOn is its comprehensive and easy-to-use features for managing HR needs, such as attendance, payroll, leave, and employee data. The system helps make work more efficient, practical, and organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the system feels slow when accessed, some features are still less practical, and navigation could be made simpler to be easier to use. It would be better if the application's performance and appearance were continuously improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the ease of use of SunFish by DataOn. Time Recording helps me track attendance at the office and especially in remote areas with geotagging and facial recognition. I can also clock in offline when there is no signal on site, and the data is uploaded once the signal is available. Activity Recording is most useful for me to log detailed activities connected to the unique Job Order code and the ERP Odoo used by the company. The SF7 Workplaze interface also helps me complete tasks faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I feel that the use of mobile Workplaze is not yet stable and the connectivity of Workplaze with WhatsApp still needs improvement. I hope the bugs in mobile SunFish are fixed and SunFish can connect with WhatsApp to make system coordination and socialization with employees in remote areas easier. The initial setup also takes time, although employees are now starting to adapt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find SunFish by DataOn powerful for enterprise payroll and complex shifts, and best for mid-to-large teams. I like that it handles local tax calculations, such as Indonesian PPh 21 and BPJS, and multi-entity payroll without manual work. Its shift management works well for rotational shifts, rosters, and biometric or mobile attendance tracking. I also value having attendance, leave approvals, employee self-service, and appraisals in one place, and its support for thousands of employees and multi-tiered manager approvals.

I find SunFish by DataOn has a steep learning curve, with a lot of menus in the admin backend, so onboarding new HR admins takes dedicated training. Initial implementation and data migration can take several months, and setup is structured and well-supported but rarely easy or quick. It also feels like overkill for startups or companies with fewer than 50–100 people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its integrated HR management system, which makes it easier to manage employee information and handle administrative processes. I find it particularly helpful for keeping employee records organized and accessible when the information needed. Simplify daily HR operations through a centralized platform.

Sometimes, it takes a bit of time to find certain features or complete specific processes. I think the system could be more user-friendly, especially in terms of navigation and making some tasks easier to complete without too many steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For organizations with large, distributed, field, or plant-based workforces, SunFish provides comprehensive time and attendance tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Due to the complexity of deeper backend configurations, customized REST APIs, or non-standard database logic, companies often depend heavily on implementation partners or vendor support teams for advanced adjustments and troubleshooting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the features and menus of SunFish by DataOn that are useful and easy to use, suitable for users from boomer generation to Gen Z. The attendance, business trip, and leave application features until approved by the direct manager are very helpful for our employees, who number more than 800. Assigning candidates as employees and creating letters or contracts for prospective employees is also easy, and the process is faster. The initial process is quite easy if the service team provides a good explanation. I recommend it for companies with more than 100 employees because the attendance process is easy.

I feel the update notifications can still be improved because many employees complain about having to clear the cache. The process of uploading or updating employee documents also requires me to fill in too many fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
