Employee Planner Software

The onboarding process is poorly designed and needlessly long so what could be a 3-5 min each employee setup takes 10-15 min each employee. Pricing is awful and (at-least from our rep experience) misleading with contractual gotchas like auto renewing certain parts for a 1 year term even if you stated you want to cancel the full service. Performance is subpar with consistent employee account issues such as not being able to transfer their own available balances and just saying contact support who does not give answers other than automated Ai response with help article links. Even urgent issues such as "multiple employees are not able to get their wages and error says something went wrong contact support" are not handled with a timeline, urgency, or visibility but the money deducted to make those payments comes out days in advanced or you get urgent payroll emails saying they wont process. The support side is not helpful unless you get escalated past the "AI" gate and employee who copies and pasts the help articles. Even then, it is bad. Integrations with google workspace was poor and disconnected promptly due to trust issue with Rippling. the UI is terribly designed with no clear intuitive navigation or usability. The "AI" is worthless and would be the same performance as using Apple's Siri if you have a lisp. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

None, would have been faster, more stable, and easier to use by setting up a spreadsheet and Stripe/Wise for the payment delivery and saved a fortune on Rippling layered fees for services that don't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not sure the integrations are available under my companies current package, and I'm sue the pricing of using these is worthwhile for us, even though I would be keen to use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Project management - used for a small team of 5 people for a couple of different projects, it's really useful in keeping track on progress/updates in one place, with everything logged and the capacity to attach documents and store them works well when engaging with external companies.

Resource management and planning - using for own work, having the automation for sending email reminders to complete task helps me keep up to date with what I need to working on, and what is a priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

i dislike about Jira is that simple marketing tasks can sometimes require multiple updates before they are marked as completed especially when approval workflows involve several teams, for fast moving campaign this can feel more time consuming than necessary. i also find that highly customized boards with numerous issues types and custom fields can make it harder for new team members to navigate and locate the information they need, while jira is extremely flexible, keeping workflows simple is important for maintaining productivity.

Jira solves the challenge of organizing marketing projects, coordinating tasks across teams, and keeping campaign activities on schedules , it provides a centralized platform where i can track content request, creative approvals, campaign timelines, and follow up tasks without relying on email or spreadsheets, real time updates and automated notification improves collaboration with the sales, design , and content teams, ensuring everyone stays aligned on priorities and deadlines, this has reduces missed tasks improved project visibility , and made it easier to manage multiple campaign simultaneously. overall Jira has increased productivity, streamlined communication and helped our team deliver marketing initiatives more efficiently..

Like any software platform, BambooHR has limitations. Some advanced HR, payroll, and reporting features may not be as robust as those offered by larger enterprise systems, and certain customizations can require workarounds. That said, I appreciate that BambooHR prioritizes ease of use and continues to improve the platform based on customer feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For me, BambooHR has made day-to-day HR work much more organized and less time-consuming. Instead of jumping between spreadsheets, emails, and different systems, I can find employee information in one place and complete routine tasks more efficiently. That means I spend less time on administrative work and more time supporting employees, improving processes, and contributing to initiatives that have a bigger impact on the business.

At present, nothing at all. I havent found anything to dislike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connecteam is helping us solve our issue around sharing documents to operatives at locations we need those documents and keeping good comunication between the workforce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ClickUp’s biggest drawback, in my experience, is the learning curve. With so many features and customization options, it can feel overwhelming for new users at first. I’ve also noticed that pages with a large number of tasks, or more complex dashboards, sometimes take longer to load than I’d prefer. And while the platform is very powerful, certain settings and workflows aren’t always easy to locate without spending time digging through the documentation and exploring on your own.

I’d also like to see the AI features continue to improve, especially with more context-aware suggestions and deeper integration into everyday project management tasks. Overall, these issues are relatively minor compared to the value ClickUp provides, but there’s still room to make the experience smoother, faster, and more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

ClickUp has helped us keep all our work in one place instead of spreading tasks, documents, and project updates across multiple tools. It’s made project planning simpler by letting us assign work, track progress, and stay on top of deadlines without constantly having to follow up with team members. The customizable workflows and dashboards also give everyone clear visibility into what’s in progress and what’s blocked, which has improved collaboration and reinforced accountability. Overall, it’s helped us stay more organized, reduce manual coordination, and spend more time actually getting work done rather than managing the work itself.

Honestly I haven't found any dislikes so far about Asana. I don't think that I use it to its fullest capability because I'm the only one on the team that uses it. It makes for an excellent invoice payment tracker and to do list for me. I color coded the different categories of my day to day tasks (Administrative, HR, Finance, Brain Dump, etc.) and I can look at the calendar view and see very easily what I've got on the docket for that day. It works very well with my ADHD brain! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not missing deadlines! And that is benefitting me because my boss is happy and I stay out of trouble lol. Before Asana, I was a hot mess express! Seriously, I can fill a legal pad up from front to back in about three days. With Asana, I can get all of my thoughts out of my head in my Brain Dump project, and then I can go back and sort each task into the appropriate project depending on whether it's HR related, Finance related, or just regular ole Admin related. And no more legal pads stacked up on my desk or shuffling to find notes about x, y, or z. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I dislike most about Notion is that it can feel too flexible: great at first, but sometimes slow, fiddly, and harder to maintain than simpler tools.

Notion is powerful, but the tradeoff is that it can feel like you’re managing the tool as much as your actual work. For people who want speed, offline reliability, and stricter structure, that can be a dealbreaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Notion is mainly solving the problem of tool fragmentation: instead of keeping notes, docs, task lists, wikis, and lightweight databases in separate apps, it puts them in one connected workspace. That benefits you by making it easier to capture context, find information later, and keep projects organized in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Smartsheet can be frustrating at times because its spreadsheet-style layout gets cluttered quickly, and managing larger or more complex projects can start to feel clunky. Some of the more advanced features aren’t built in, so I often end up relying on additional configurations or add-ons to get it working the way I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an intern working with a contracting engineering team in Sydney, what I find most useful about Smartsheet is how it takes the chaos out of project coordination and keeps everyone aligned. It helps solve several day-to-day problems that engineering interns often run into, especially when you’re juggling site updates, contractor communication, and documentation all at once.

ome areas can feel overly complex and require multiple clicks to complete simple tasks. As the platform continues to expand, navigation can occasionally be less intuitive for managers and employees who don't use it regularly. Reporting is powerful but could offer more flexibility and easier customisation without requiring workarounds. ome areas can feel overly complex and require multiple clicks to complete simple tasks.

Before implementing Employment Hero, many of our HR processes were manual or spread across multiple systems, which created inefficiencies and increased administrative effort. Employment Hero has helped centralise employee records, onboarding, compliance, performance management and HR documentation into a single platform, giving employees and managers easy access to the information they need.

The biggest benefit has been reducing manual administration and improving process consistency. Tasks such as onboarding, policy acknowledgements, development discussions and document management are now more streamlined and easier to track. The self-service functionality has also increased employee ownership of personal information and routine HR requests, freeing up time for more strategic people initiatives.

For a small organisation without a large HR team, Employment Hero provides strong value by automating processes, improving visibility of HR data, supporting compliance obligations and creating a better employee experience through an accessible and user-friendly platform.

1. The "Mobile Latency" Gap

Field Service is only as good as the technician’s mobile experience.

The Issue: The Field Service Mobile app can feel slow or "clunky" when trying to load heavy Agentforce assistant logic, especially in low-connectivity areas (like basements or remote sites).

Architectural Pain: If your LWC or OmniStudio components are too "heavy," they can cause the app to lag or crash during critical on-site repairs.

2. High Implementation Complexity

It is definitely not "plug-and-play."

The Issue: Setting up Autonomous Scheduling requires an incredibly high level of data hygiene. If your Service Territories, Skills, and Work Types aren't perfectly mapped, the AI will make illogical dispatch decisions (e.g., sending a technician 2 hours away for a 15-minute job).

The Struggle: You often need a dedicated specialist just to tune the "Scheduling Recipes" so the AI understands your business's unique trade-offs (like prioritizing SLAs over travel mileage). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Solving the "Administrative Drag"The Problem: Field technicians typically lose up to a full day every week to administrative tasks—filling out reports, searching for manuals, and manual data entry.The Benefit: Agentforce automates the "paperwork" through voice-powered forms and automated pre-work briefs. For a developer, this means you can build LWCs that act as intelligent assistants, summarizing job history or safety notes instantly, allowing the tech to focus on the repair rather than the record-keeping.

2. Solving "Reactive" Scheduling BottlenecksThe Problem: Traditional scheduling is reactive. If a job runs long or a tech is stuck in traffic, a human dispatcher has to manually shuffle the board, often leading to missed SLAs.The Benefit: Agentforce introduces Autonomous Scheduling. It "reasons" through real-time traffic, technician proximity, and part availability to optimize routes on the fly. This benefits you by providing a much more robust data set to build against—allowing you to create more sophisticated scheduling visualizations or custom optimization logic.

One area where HROne could improve is its user interface and navigation. While the platform offers a wide range of features, some options can be difficult to locate, especially for new users. Compared to other HR applications, the interface feels less intuitive, and completing certain tasks may require more clicks than necessary. A more streamlined design and improved navigation would enhance the overall user experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before using HROne, employee information, attendance records, leave requests, and payroll-related documents were often spread across different systems or required manual coordination with HR. Now, everything is available in one place, allowing employees to manage attendance, apply for leave and claims, access payslips and tax documents, and stay updated on company events. This has reduced administrative effort, improved transparency, and saved time for both employees and HR teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My favorite thing about Airtable is actually this: the suggested improvements I mentioned when I first wrote this review in 2024 have all been resolved, and not because of anything I've done--the development team is constantly working on ways to make Airtable more accessible and easier to use, adding new features based on user feedback, and dreaming up innovative ways to rethink problems that other platforms on the market haven't even begun to tackle.

The only thing I wish I could actually improve about Airtable is the somewhat clunky pay-per-seat model of user accounts, which always seems to be more convoluted than it should be, but I wouldn't be surprised if that element is also changed for the better by the time someone is reading this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have several major projects in my role at a large research university, and all of them benefit from Airtable:

1. I coordinate a 10-year old fellowship program, and I have a decade of records and information about the program, its applicants and members, their work within the program, and their impacts on our community after they complete it. With Airtable I'm able to track all of that in one place, which means I always know where to go to find what I need, and it also means that I can create reports/interfaces for the fellows that give them snapshots of their particpation in the program over time. Since some of the folks have been involved for literally a decade they have had lots of engagement with many roles in the program, and before we moved all of this data to airtable I would have to recall things from memory or look each type of role up by person and year in our cloud storage. This has made the process easier, more accurate, and more helpful for the fellows themselves.

2. I organize several large-scale, complex events and programs for faculty, and using Airtable has made that process so much easier. I can have everything from project/task management to sign-ups and attendance lists to logistics planning all in one place, and because of the ease of synching and tables and linking fields, I can do virtually no copying and pasting throughout that process. I used to have so many spreadsheets for each event, and have to transfer so much information from one to another each time...and now that isn't a problem anymore. I can also use the same base each year and just update the years on the new records, so that I can more easily track data over time and have far more useful assessments of my programs. This has transformed my assessment processes and I'm really excited to see how that continues to grow.

3. We are implementing Airtable in our center's annual planning processes for the first time this year, and we've already benefitted so much. We are able to collect information more easily from each of our staff members about their plans and needs, and then the appropriate teams are able to easily gather their own annual lists of work from that collection more accurately than before. We're just starting to play around with automations to make this process even more streamlined and seamless, and I know by next summer's annual planning we'll have something even better put into place.

The only thing I think is the maintenance agreement program. That needs to be honed in a little bit more. It can get confusing if you set it up as a recurring job. It should be a standalone process for just service agreements, so that our customers it's easy to navigate for them, and it's easy for us to know that there's a maintenance agreement customer that's due for service or needs to get their percentage discount as part of the membership.

I use Jobber to schedule online, handle sales, estimates, quotes, and invoicing. It's easy to use both in the office and field, enabling clients to sign, bill, and pay on-site. Scheduling is flexible, and communication is seamless through integrated texting and emails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some parts of the interface could be more user-friendly, especially for new users. That said, overall the product is reliable, and it becomes easy to adopt once the team starts using it consistently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

actiTIME helps us accurately track the time we spend on projects and campaigns, which improves planning and gives us a clearer view of the real effort behind our product marketing activities. It also provides leadership with better visibility into resource allocation, and it helps teams stay accountable without adding unnecessary complexity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I just wish more marketers knew about this tool, since it’s still not as widely recognized as it deserves to be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before using Morningmate, our marketing projects often suffered from scattered communication and missed deadlines across different tools. Morningmate centralized all project management tasks, which cut down planning time and reduced confusion between teams. Real-time KPI tracking helped us identify underperforming campaigns quickly and optimize budgets more effectively. Collaboration with external partners also became smoother, since everyone could work in the same workspace without constant email back-and-forth. Overall, it solved the problem of inefficiency and gave us clearer visibility into campaign performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's nothing I dislike, but it would be nice if they had a full general ledger accounting system to handle accounts payable, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ravetree helps us map out projects, set project budgets, allocate people to those projects, log time and expenses, and create invoices. Pretty much all of the day to day stuff at our firm. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In reality, the problem for me is the mobile functionality when the signal strength is low. The offline functionality also lacks strength in that I continue to have a notebook to record the updates when I am offline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've reduced missed appointments & last-minute curveballs by utilizing Bordio as the Field Operations Manager. This allows the crew to see the priorities more clearly, me to recognize overloading sooner, & our daily route to look less reactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My wish: To be able to share boards in dedicated instances. Unfortunately, in May 2026, Conceptboard changed the "sections" in such a way that I lost many hours of work; and objects were automatically defined as "sections" where it makes no sense. Incomprehensible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Conceptboard enables visual collaboration in real-time and meets the requirements of the GDPR. We use Conceptboard for live online training and virtual or hybrid workshops, as well as for the co-creative development of concepts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to pick something, it would be that there are still areas where deeper customization (especially around branding, layouts, or UI tweaks) could go further.

That said — and this is important — this is actually one of the reasons I’m bullish on the product.

Unlike most tools where limitations feel “baked in,” Agency Handy is clearly being actively developed, and many of the things you might initially want are either already being improved or on the roadmap.

So rather than being a frustration, it feels more like:

👉 “This is already great — and it’s only getting better.” Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Before Agency Handy, our workflow was fragmented across multiple tools:

• CRM in one place

• Proposals somewhere else

• Invoicing and payments separate

• Tasks and delivery tracked manually or in another system

• Client communication scattered across email

It was inefficient, messy, and things slipped through the cracks.

Agency Handy has completely centralised our operations:

• Everything now lives in one system

• Client journeys are structured from start → delivery → payment

• Internal workflows are clearer and easier to manage

• Clients have a single place to log in, view progress, and interact

The impact has been huge:

• Less admin time

• Faster onboarding

• More professional client experience

• Fewer mistakes or missed steps

• Better scalability as we grow

It’s effectively become our agency operating system, not just another tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
