  • UI was very straightforward and the learning curve was not steep

Cons

  • Very buggy at times, needs improvements in resolving bugs
  • While the UI is very straightforward, it does not feel modern.
  • Could have an option for employees to anonymously update how they feel on any given day.

Return on Investment

  • Simply helped us manage payroll for our employees effectively
  • Tax declaration was made easy in India as they also offered calculations based on the new & old tax regimes.
  • Reduced manual effort in leave tracking for our team where it was done ineffectively prior to having greytHR
