    Summary

    I have used this in my development environment for automation of employee onboarding for the last year. It is, in my opinion, the best open-source HRM software that I found for this purpose at least!

    Positive

    - Flexibility of setting up the instance
    - Clear and easy-to-use interface
    - Bulk-import of employees using a CSV file

    Negative

    - Missing an employee export (to CSV) capability
    - Unable to bulk-edit values on multiple employees

    Date: Apr 21 2022
    Summary

    As the installer it's pretty painless, the HR team seem to be quite happy with using the product and it has been very stable and reliable.

    As a business application, this is what we want.

    Positive

    * Easy to install. No complex requirements.
    * Learning curve for users was good.
    * Interface is responsive

    Negative

    * Needs more design work around DR capability (beyond backup/restore). This would elevate it as an option in bigger companies.

    Great HRM Software

    Date: Mar 16 2022
    Summary

    The software was great, we went from having all our HR info on excel spreadsheets to a cohesive system. We have since moved to a different software but the only reason we changed is because our new system links our CRM, HRM, Inventory and Marketing tools in one single platform, otherwise we would still be using OrangeHRM. It is a really great tool.

    Positive

    Liked the ease of use, setup was simple and day-to-day use of the software was great.
    Also liked how we could pick modules that suited our needs rather than a one-size-fits-all package.

    Negative

    Nothing; everything was great. The set up support was super helpful and the software did what we needed it to do.

    Summary

    Overall, I think OrangeHRM is a great software for any organization that needs to have an HR solution. Easy to use with lots of info available about features.

    Positive

    Lots of useful features and a great overall design/intro to HR system. Pricing is fair especially with the free trial.

    Negative

    I think there are certain features that just aren't there. I also wish that there was easier ways to get support.
