User friendly; poor reporting
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
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.

Great HRIS provider
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.

Alternatives Considered:
Great Canadian Company
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
Alternatives Considered:
Will never go back to Excel HRIS
Comments: Support is great and responsive. They try hard to meet feature requests.
Pros:
Basic features to onboard and manage the employee journey backed by a clean and simple interface.
Cons:
Data access and reporting need work. I have to do a lot of engineering to manage the business.
Alternatives Considered:
easily scaled up for growth
Pros:
great add ons and integration. good customer support!
Cons:
not intuitive or flexible for staff who jump roles and hours of work-can be hard to pivot time off policies for employees.

Excellent HRIS for Canadian SMEs
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
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.
Alternatives Considered:
Payroll
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!
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
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
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!
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,
Great functinoalaties at a good value
Comments: Easy migration and implementation. Amazing customer service
Pros:
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
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!
Humi Overall Review
Pros:
The ease of onboarding employees is probably the best part of the software.
Cons:
Sometimes its hard to navigate where to locate things, and when we reach out to support, there is usually a delay in response.
Still too much manual work required
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
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.
Humi has been great for us.
Pros:
Humi is easy to use and helps us manage our people resources. We also appreciate that it is a Canadian company.
Cons:
We've been using Humi for awhile and there are some quirks that happen in the software. It's still new so it's understandable.
Alternatives Considered:
Great software!
Comments: My experience with Humi has been really good overall. Implementation was pretty straightforward and has helped keep us organized.
Pros:
Humi has helped us streamline our onboarding process and keeps all of our HR documents in one, easily accessible place.
Cons:
Sometimes the admin aspects can be difficult to configure. For example, setting up or editing a time off policy can sometimes be confusing.
