Efficient and Updated System

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

GroveHR's User Experience is amazing, UI is very neat and clean and easy to use for all team members. Having Android and iOS applications makes it very useful in modern times.

Cons:

Least favourite thing about GroveHR is its reporting and analytical capabilities at the moment but as the team is proactive and keeps on updating the system on a regular basis I think reporting and analytics are going to get better soon.

Worst company, bad service (infact no service), Worst HRMS

1.0 3 years ago

Comments: Bad experience. I would ask other companies not to fall into this trap

Pros:

Nothing, their service is bad. Their team sent us fraudulent emails claiming to offer a free trial.

Cons:

The thing that we liked least was their fraudulent approach to luring companies into using their HRMS by sending emails about offering trials. We have received many such contradictory emails and when we caught them and questioned them their team just stop responding

Easiest software I've ever used

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

I love the User Interface on Grove HR, it is super easy to navigate and quite interactive. With Grove HR's geofencing feature, I now have access to accurate information regarding employees location, punctuality, absenteeism when they clock in/out.

Cons:

Nothing, but I'd like to suggest that Grove looks into integrating instant messaging on the app.

Quite nice in the first glance

4.0 4 years ago

Pros:

- The fact that it's free (at least for now) is good for experimentation, our org is analyzing some products to use so it's good to have a try before actually use it. - Seem like an all-in-one solution for HR

Cons:

- The onboarding is a bit awkward: + On the portal, when I already set up my company. If I hit sign up with google and my account already exists, should navigate me to the login OR log me in automatically. It's a little bit annoyed when I have to find the Login button + On the signin, is it possible to automatically find my company URL when I log in? Require an extra step to check email for company URL is quite annoying - Why it does not allow me to set up payroll on 15th of the month???

Grove HR enables us to work anywhere, anytime

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: With Grove HR, our company has modernized the way we record working hours, track time-off and manage personal info. It’s faster, safer and cheaper.

Pros:

I really love Grove HR mobile app. I can approve time-off, search directory and update my information without opening the laptop. Moreover, the benefits of having the Grove mobile app keeps growing as with the new time attendance feature I can now clock in and clock out right there.

Cons:

The new feature is great but the mobile app still needs more advanced features like surveys, employee recognition...

Less stress and more results

5.0 4 years ago

Comments: Recruitment, onboarding, employee records management. We saved a lot of time and operational cost when using Grove HR

Pros:

The new time attendance feature has been a huge relief for me as not only does it save me a lot of time that I'd have previously spent on spreadsheets in a bid to track the time spent by the employees, it also helps the team in paying accurately. No more issues of over/underpaying.

Cons:

The minor issue we've noticed is that the comment for the team can't include much characters. It would be really helpful if they can increase the character limit.

Nice time tracing system

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

I like the time tracking system most and I use it to monitor the total working and calculate the task done.

Cons:

Payroll is not very useful feature for me in this software because I don't really know how to use it. A good documentation would be good.

One of the best HRMS available for Start-ups

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

The no-nonsense and straight forward application available for start-ups. The onboarding experience is breeze for new employees. The application is so user friendly that any non-user will get accustomed to it within a matter of minutes. Feedback from employees have been excellent (even for the free version). Another feature that we loved was self service portal for employees.

Cons:

No complaints till now. Third-party apps integration seems to be work in progress, so can't really comment on that. However, will love if the some documents' templates are integrated in it.

Grove HR eases our daily tasks

5.0 4 years ago

Pros:

One of the great advantages of Grove HR digital portal was self-service. Through the Grove HR mobile app, employees can sign their attendance using a QR code, request time-off, access directory, and more. It saves valuable time on the back and forth as I can easily approve/reject time-off requests as well as track employees' attendance right from the app. The mobile app enables seamless communication and also improved engagements between employees and the HR department.

Cons:

Grove HR has made significant progress with the mobile app but it still has some ways to go in terms of employee engagement.

Pros:

The UI on groveHR was really good , It was swift and very reliable. I think GroveHR is going to be very promising though it lacks a few things but I think its going to be very successfull

Cons:

GroveHR did not offer much customization , For example I was not able to edit the Half-time hours for my organization , neither the holiday section which was a bit weird , nonetheless it was great using the UI and I wish all the best luck.

Streamlining recruitment

4.0 4 years ago

Comments: This software has helped Palindrome streamline the hiring process. Applicants can fill in the form and submit and have their details entered into my applicant database via a smooth connection. I can then assign them to new jobs, move them through the hiring process...etc.

Pros:

I've found that setting up a mini job site for my own hiring and connecting it to our Grove HR system has helped to streamline recruitment.

Cons:

There may be a lack of plugins or extensions but I assume that those are on the way.
