We have had some issues regarding the view of rotas meeting our operational needs. We are a care provider with staff working across different teams and services and are using the system doesn't show things as we need fully yet but are working on adaptations to meet these needs.

The platform is intuitive and easy to use for both admins and employees. It’s well organised with a clean, modern design, and setup is straightforward, so admins can achieve a great deal with minimal effort. The modules integrate seamlessly, which significantly reduces the workload on HR teams when managing people. Setting up workflows, such as onboarding and offboarding, is simple, cutting down on administration and creating a smoother experience for employees. On top of that, the team at Zelt are genuinely supportive and helpful. They’re quick to respond, happy to help with any questions, and make you feel looked after as a customer.

The platform is constantly being updated, and these changes are steadily making the system better. The Zelt team genuinely listen to customer feedback and regularly add new features to improve the product. The only downside is that frequent updates can occasionally affect things you’ve already set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

*Good things about Zelt* 👇

Zelt is basically "one app to run your whole company ops" instead of juggling 10 different tools.

### *Top 5 Good Things About Zelt*

#### *1. All-in-One: HR + Payroll + IT*

No need for separate BambooHR, payroll software, and IT tools.

Joiners, leavers, payroll, laptops, software access — all done from 1 dashboard. Saves HR + IT hours every week.

#### *2. Automatic Onboarding & Offboarding*

When you hire someone: Zelt orders their laptop, creates Slack/Google/email, adds them to payroll, sends contract.

When someone leaves: it revokes access + collects equipment automatically.

Zero manual chasing.

#### *3. Saves a ton of admin time*

Expenses, leave requests, document signing, payslips — employees do it themselves in the app.

For managers: approve leave, view team org chart, run reports in 2 clicks.

#### *4. Great for multi-country teams*

Handles payroll, benefits, and compliance in multiple countries.

Useful if your company has people in UAE, UK, EU, etc. No need for Deel + local payroll separately.

#### *5. Employee self-service app*

Staff can check payslips, request leave, submit expenses, update address from phone.

Less "HR can you send me my payslip" emails.

### *Bonus: Companies love it because*

- *Cheaper* than buying 5 different tools

- *Fewer mistakes* — data only lives in one place

- *Scalable* — works for 10 people or 1000 people

Think of it as the "operating system for your team."

Or comparing it vs other HR tools for Dubai/UAE? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

*Bad things / Downsides of Zelt*

No tool is perfect. Here’s what people/companies usually mention:

### *1. Still new = Some features are basic*

Zelt launched around 2021. Compared to Workday or ADP, some HR/payroll features are simpler.

If you need very complex payroll rules or advanced reporting, it can feel limited.

### *2. UK/EU focused first*

It started in the UK.

*For UAE/Dubai*: Payroll + compliance support is weaker vs local providers like Bayzat, HROne, or Gusto. You might still need a local payroll provider alongside Zelt.

### *3. Learning curve*

Because it does HR + IT + Payroll in one, the dashboard has a LOT.

Small companies say "it’s powerful but takes time to set up properly." If you just need leave tracking, it can feel like overkill.

### *4. Customer support depends on plan*

On lower plans, support is mostly chat/email. For urgent payroll issues some users wish for faster phone support.

### *5. Integrations aren't 100% everywhere*

It connects to 200+ tools like Slack, Google, Xero. But if you use a niche UAE accounting or POS system, you may need manual workarounds.

### *6. Pricing*

Per-employee per-month pricing. For 10-20 people it’s great.

For 500+ people, the cost can add up vs using separate cheaper tools.

---

### *Quick Summary*

**Good** **Not-so-Good**

All-in-one HR + IT + Payroll Still building out some advanced features

Saves tons of admin time Stronger in UK/EU than UAE

Great onboarding/offboarding Can feel complex for small teams

Employee self-service app Pricing scales with headcount

*Best for*: Startups and scale-ups, 20-500 employees, especially with remote/international teams.

*Not best for*: Companies that need very complex UAE-specific payroll + WPS compliance only.

Are you evaluating Zelt for your company in Dubai? I can compare it vs Bayzat or HROne if you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very simple to use as it allows employees to request leave, review paystubs, sign documents, and request app access without requiring constant HR intervention. Fair Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the desktop web dashboard is polished, the mobile web and app experiences are far more scaled-back, making complex administrative approvals or deep profile changes harder on the go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The leave management and self-service features are brilliant. I was literally just using it to book a few days off for a mid-July trip, and the interface is completely frictionless. As a software engineer, having internal tools that are actually responsive, modern, and well-designed is a massive plus. It gets out of the way so I can focus on building software instead of fighting with admin portals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

To be honest, there isn't much to dislike from a standard employee's perspective. If I had to nitpick, perhaps having a bit more customisation over the layout of the main user dashboard would be nice, but overall it does exactly what I need it to do without any unnecessary bloat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Zelt is that it centralizes key HR processes in one platform, making tasks such as leave management, document access, and employee information easy to manage.

While Zelt covers many workflows well, some advanced customization and reporting options could be more flexible. Certain integrations and workflows may require additional setup, and there can be a learning curve when configuring more complex processes. Expanding customization and analytics capabilities would make the platform even stronger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
