It was supposed to integrate with our payroll system (another Access Group product), but the consultants were unable to provide a correct demonstration of how this would occur. Performance management module is inflexible and out of date with modern concepts of Performance Management. There is a major flaw with the employee documents section where if you give employees access, they can delete their own documents. There are lots of compliance risks and red flags too we have had to engage lawyers due to employee complaints about certain information being made available on the system which is in breach of privacy laws. Despite raising these issues repeatedly, we are not seeing any improvement in the product or the level of support provided. > > Overall very poor, would not recommend. We will not be renewing our contract. Lots of compliance issues, system is clunky and it's not presentable. It doesn't look like a finished product. ----- ### "Innovative App which is great for scheduling." — 4.0/5 > **Fungai Nicole** | *21 March 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I can write documentation of what happened during my visits to the clients I work for. > > **Cons**: It can sync randomly during a visit making it difficult to use it. > > I think this app is innovative and I can keep track of time. It also has a gps app incorporated into it which makes it ideal for Domicilliary care. ----- ### "Effective Energy Review" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *25 February 2026* | Renewables & Environment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how versatile it is with it's products and the analytics available for products. It's ideal for a one stop shop for our employees. > > **Cons**: The ATS function could probably work better and have more availability of job boards it can feed in to. I also think Salary Extras could have better discounts available, it feels they are slightly behind with what Reward Gateway and PerkBox offer. > > There have been a few teething issues so far but the team have been trying to work on it to resolve. I think better technical support during the implementation stage could be helpful. We have had many issues with employees not having access to Salary Extras. All team members have been friendly during our journey so far. ----- ### "D for disappointed" — 2.0/5 > **Hannah** | *25 February 2026* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: We were told it would be able to do payroll and also be available in multiple languages and could be a time and attendance system that we could use to run payroll for 24/7 shifts. We were expecting a one stop shop for appraisals, reporting, stats, employee records. > > **Cons**: We aren't able to use the app efficiently or reliably. The training was incomplete and it couldn't do what we were sold in the sales pitch. > > We haven't been listened to and feel our onboarding was rushed and incomplete. We were only able to focus on certain areas ----- ### "Dissapointing" — 3.0/5 > **Lee-Anne** | *25 February 2026* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that all documentation is in one place, I struggle to find anything easy about using it. Customer care is lovely, but they can't change the way it was programmed. The org chart is lovely and good to use, although it can't be printed in the way you see it. > > **Cons**: It takes a lot of training to be able to set it up and use it. It is very hard to set up Ripple and queries. There are a lot of things you can't bulk upload or bulk change. The organisation chart is great, but then you can't save it the way it looks when viewing it. The help is mainly AI, and although it has helped a lot, it can't answer specific things about your company. The Dashboard is not very flexible. > > Disappointing. I have given many suggestions for updates, and some have been taken into consideration, but I feel I need someone to run through it and set it up properly for my team, and to stay in contact about training and using it. I realise this is an option, but it's expensive. ----- Page: 1 / 24\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/211952/access-people-hr-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/211952/access-people-hr-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
