4.0 last year

Comments: Overall a great 'starter' HR package for small to medium-sized companies.Very relevant for Canadian corporations.HR is one area that has been left unattended and without cloud-based tech solutions. Humi bridges the gap.Very good price pointEasy and quick to implement

Pros:

- Very good price/performance ratio- One of the best HR platform especially for Canadian companies- Great for small to medium-sized companies - Very quick and easy implementation- Easy to administer- Modern look and feel- Seamless User experience- Vacation tracking and Team calendars

Cons:

- In some cases, the workflows needed resetting during the implementation- Vacation balance and tracking can be tricky to setup and maintain- Lacks security of more expensive/comprehensive solutions- Difficulty in formatting and setting up reports

Pros:

Humi is designed to have multiple HR tools all in one place and is easy to use. Real-time instant employee data makes any HR professional look like a pro.

Cons:

There is a lack of user configuration in the system is frustrating at times. It would be nice to at least have access to change wording

User friendly; poor reporting

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall, the software is user-friendly and meets our basic needs. We moved payroll to another provider due to errors. Humi has been very focused on developing its scheduling platform and as a result, other improvements and suggestions for feature enhancements have been largely ignored. I am hopefully that they will continue to develop and make the software more efficient.

Pros:

Humi has made a number of improvements to its applicant tracking/recruiting systems and we are satisfied with this program. There could be further improvements to make it more efficient but overall, it works.

Cons:

The reporting tools have been very disappointing and not usable in most cases. A basic turnover report with analytics is very important to us and we do not currently have this ability.

Working Great For Our Small Company

5.0 last year

Comments: My experience has been really great right from my thorough onboarding to continued support and the new features getting added all of the time. It is already a great product but I know they are constantly improving it and I'm excited to see where it goes.

Pros:

The ease of use and the amount of information that can be stored on one program. Instead of having 5 places to store information, it is now all under one program. Customer support is great as well!

Cons:

I guess the biggest downfall is some of the controls and limitations when it comes to wanting to delegate. Most tasks have to stay with an admin and right now with us being a small company that means it has to stay with me or we need to give someone else admin clearance and they can access all feedback and other confidential items.

Hi Ashley, So happy to hear that you're having a great experience with our product and customer support! Thanks for your review, and we also appreciate the feedback regarding admin delegation. We do have custom roles that you can set up to provide users with specific access to certain areas within Humi. We hope that helps, and always appreciate any additional feedback to help improve our product! -The Humi Team

Great HRIS provider

5.0 last year

Pros:

Humi is a great HRIS system with options from training tracking, time off requests, personnel record maintenance, performance reviews, goal tracking etc.

Cons:

We have been considering using Humi as our payroll provider as well as HRIS provider but they still have room to grow. In both the payroll and HRIS realm, we need the flexibility to have staff working in two programs under two different supervisors.

Great Canadian Company

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: I think Humi is great and I would recommend it to any Canadian HR professional

Pros:

Time off, document management and onboarding keeps everything in one place allows more time for HR to focus on other tasks and less time on administration

Cons:

I find there are some navigation issues sometimes. ie. time off taking you back to the main page when you just want to be in an employee's profile. Surveys also are not the best with the new data as you cannot see separate surveys anymore

Excellent HRIS for Canadian SMEs

5.0 last year

Pros:

Their product itself works great. If we do have any issues, the Humi support team is incredibly quick and responsive, providing us with the answers that we need. I have zero hesitation recommending Humi to any HR team looking for an intuitive HRIS.

Cons:

The mobile app isnt the best. This is by no means a showstopper

What I love and wish for from Humi

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall experience has been positive. Would love to see new implementations

Pros:

Love the vacation tracking and calculations. This saves me time on when employee reach out to ask how much vacation they used or have remaining. Being able to share documents and make company announcements.

Cons:

Not a fan that payroll run cannot be scheduled. When employee is on vacation the payroll does not automatically calculate the vacation pay.

Payroll

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Overall great experience so far. Hoping that above mentioned features can be introduced at some point soon.

Pros:

User friendly and having the HR solution is very helpful

Cons:

Humi Payroll is missing the year-end filings with the government (generating and submitting T4s to CRA still needs to be done manually). Also, paying contractors (independent contractors with no source deductions) is currently not available in Humi. Also, no mobile app at the moment. this would be helpful for employees.

HUMI has simplified our HR processes!

5.0 last year

Comments: We are now looking to move to more of their platforms because of the simplicity of it for our HR team and our team members. Couldn't recommend it more!

Pros:

We have used HUMI for over a year now and it has simplified many aspects of our HR processes. From onboarding to vacation management, it has streamlined more than we could have ever imagined!

Cons:

Our team members would like the ability to install HUMI on their phones and have full functionality.

Humi making HR management a breeze

4.0 2 years ago

Comments: My overall experience with Humi has been amazing from day 1. From the initial demo, to getting everything set up to implementation I had my rep available all the time to hold my hand along the way. Change can be so difficult to implement smoothly in an organization and Humi and their talented staff made this the easiest change we have gone through.

Pros:

Time off feature as well as the document workflows. Also the access that have been given to each employee on their own information. They have the ability to check their own accrual balances, upload documents and update personal information.

Cons:

I would love if the documents feature had more capabilities. Examples would be the ability to add additional documents to an existing one (document collection) or the ability to revise an offer by revising the actual document instead of the terms in humi alone.

Attentive Customer Support and Easy to Use

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: Great decision to make the switch to Humi!

Pros:

I like great customer support and Humi checks the box! Anytime I have had a question or needed assistance I have had prompt responses that were helpful and always kind.

Cons:

My least favourite part is that I didn't know to have off-boarding employees change their email address in order to get T4s as once they are terminated they have zero access to paystubs and ROE. I've run into that issue a few times. It would be great if terminated employees could still log on to view their payroll for 12 months or for 30 days after T4s are submitted the following year.

A Huge TimeSaver!

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: They have been a great team to work with, and their helpfulness and responsiveness have been amazing. There have been issues in the past that were critical as we had missed a very important deadline, and they helped us resolve it immediately.

Pros:

We have been with HUMI since their early days, and they have saved us tons of time with the many features that they've added. What started off as a goal to fix our Payroll and Vacation documentation, has grown to help manage all the onboarding/offboarding, training management, document management and many other features.

Cons:

We still have some things to work out with the documentation formatting,

The seemeless integration of payroll and HR has reduced our admin time & costs while providing far more accuracy compared to when we were using separate products."HUMI has been an essential tool that helped us double the size of our workforce"

Cons:

There are always functionalities that I would wish for in any product. i am hoping that stat holiday pay functionality is added soon

HUMI Review

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I use it on a daily basis to track attendance. It's a great time saver.

Pros:

It was very easy to integrate it with existing processes. It's also very easy to use for employees and managers.

Cons:

Features are easy to use and logical. The only thing I would improve is the algorithm behind the calculation of vacation days. Who would book 1.83 vacation days - rounding is highly recommended!

Still too much manual work required

2.0 2 years ago

Comments: It was OK for a short time, we had hopes that investments were being made into the product but nothing has changed over the last year and a half that adds enough value for us to continue using it. Will be switching to a new platform in the new year – probably bamboo.

Pros:

It has some good basic features and pricing was better than other options, unfortunately for a scaling business we need something more robust.

Cons:

The reporting dashboard and performance management are the weakest modules, we need to export information in order to pull any meaningful insights. Customer support also not a highlight.

Very Simple and Basic

3.0 2 years ago

Pros:

This software is very simple and basic. If your company doesn't not have an HRIS system, this would be a great starter software.

Cons:

Once a company gets larger and more complex, Humi will not be able to support the company in its current capacity. Still fairly new and many of their features are still in production.
