    Very Robust System

    Date: Apr 14 2022
    Summary

    Our overall experience with OrangeHRM was positive. From initial setup to daily use, it was very user friendly and simple to use.

    Our organization has been really struggling to keep track of employee training. OrangeHRM was the solution. We can now keep track of training for all employees, and the reports we can generate based on the training type or date, etc, are numerous.

    Negative

    OrangeHRM worked well in every aspect that we needed it to work, and I really don’t have any negative points to make.

    Used at one job

    Date: Mar 21 2022
    Summary

    While it was fairly easy to use and management was able to keep things tracked, it didn't work well for our org and wound up getting tossed.

    Positive

    Really good time management software. It was easy to use and fairly easy to navigate.

    Birthday reminders were a plus!

    Negative

    Doesn't always keep the employees time tracked correctly... not really a good use for growing or large organizations.

    Great HRM but customization costs are high

    Date: Apr 12 2022
    Summary

    Overall a vast experience software, needs some technical expertise to complete all fields, customer support is superb but only for paid support or on the cloud, for the open source it's an expensive affair as its community support and pay per instance is expensive.

    Positive

    Good design.
    Rich Features.
    Some Pre-configured data for a good start-off.
    Easy to learn software but after that backend gets confusing.

    Negative

    Manual creation of time stamps.
    Customization costs are high.
    Cloud service costs are expensive.
    Leave day application units are very confusing.
    While adding new type of leave, one needs to go back to templates and create a new one.
    Confusing UX.
    UX shows all fields which confused our users.
    HR spends a lot of time resolving Fields related issues.
    Cancel leaves is complicated, one needs to go to reporting manager who then needs to raise a ticket with IT and then they go to developer to log a ticket. This is very time taking.

    Feature-packed free HRM software

    Date: Mar 16 2022
    Summary

    I'd say that OrangeHRM is a pretty solid platform if you're just starting out. But it's not as anywhere as professional-grade such as a tool like Workday.
    Worth it for new businesses.

    Positive

    - Employee listing with complete employee profiles
    - Attendance system with punches
    - Time off requests & management
    - Basic salary tools

    Negative

    - Poor job list/application integrations
    - Mediocre Active Directory implementation
    - No integrated learning & career development solution

    Orange HRM Review

    Date: Apr 12 2022
    Summary

    I've been using this software around 3years for handling my HR management related work and looking forward to be connected with it for a long time. It's been very easy to monitor the team's activities, job profiles, rating, leave managements etc.. Overall, very satisfied using it and can say this is one of the best HR management software.

    Positive

    Orange HRM has the most reliable feature that how simply a user/admin can understand his/her HR scope in the career prospect. Easy to manage, track and analyze the team's performance which is the upmost requirement for an organization to grow. It's excellent UI interface allows user to explore and understand each module of the software.

    Negative

    Under My Info module of the software, it's pretty difficult sometimes to update salary & job details which updates after trying multiple times. Login becomes difficult sometimes during inputting the login credentials. Updates rolled out are less which can decrease the user interaction level.
