The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it simple for both HR teams and employees to get up to speed quickly with minimal training. Additionally, the communication features help keep everyone connected, improving collaboration and ensuring important updates are easily shared across the team. Overall, Breathe offers a user-friendly, efficient, and cost-effective solution that simplifies everyday HR tasks. > > **Cons**: While Breathe is generally easy to use, some advanced features are limited compared to larger HR platforms. The reporting functionality could be more robust, especially for businesses that need detailed analytics or custom reports. The recruitment and candidate tracking tools work well for basic needs but may feel a bit too simple for companies with more complex hiring processes. > > Overall, my experience with Breathe has been positive. It’s a great solution for small and growing teams looking for a straightforward and affordable HR system. While it may not have all the advanced capabilities of more comprehensive platforms, it covers the essentials well and helps streamline everyday HR tasks efficiently. With some improvements in reporting and customization, it could become an even stronger tool. ----- ### "Massive price hikes, decreased usability and manual export of files when you leave." — 1.0/5 > **Alastair** | *4 March 2025* | Staffing & Recruiting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Used to be really good for small business. It was good value for money and simple to use. > > **Cons**: We have been with BreathHR for 10 years, but the new update is a step backwards. We have now had another price increase so the product has gone up 57% in two years. Unfortunately since the company got taken over a couple of years ago its rapidly going backwards. We found a new product which is cheaper and a lot more functionality. After informing BreatheHR that we are leaving it transpires they have no data transfer software so all our files/documents have to be manually download for every employee. Another reason to really think twice about signing with BreatheHR. > > Used to be good, but since they were sold it rapidly went down hill. ----- ### "Great for a first time HRIS or smaller business" — 3.0/5 > **Ellie** | *6 May 2025* | Financial Services | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really easy to use, intuitive, and modern looking. It was quick and easy to set people up on and establish bug fixes etc. I could easily alter settings to work to our business needs. > > **Cons**: Just a bit too basic\! The reporting wasn't as in depth as required, and it was very much an entry level solution. > > It does the job, especially for a smaller business or first time using a HRIS. Staff easily adapt to it and know how to use it. It just doesn't have the level of tools and reporting that I would choose from a HRIS. Good for the price though. ----- ### "Great user friendly, simple HR system" — 5.0/5 > **Ellie** | *16 May 2025* | Hospitality | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Breathe is an incredibly well laid out and easy to use software. It's simple to use as a HR user and manager, and easy to use as an employee. All staff documents can be held in the cloud, and employees have access to the documents only you choose. There is also an option to make it necessary for an employee to view a document you have uploaded which can be really useful for Health \& Safety documents etc. > > **Cons**: It can be a bit 'clunky' trying to change some employee details, especially for those that aren't too great with IT. > > Overall, Breathe is a really user friendly system, with great reporting tools, document storage, and a really useful dashboard where you can see key metrics for your employees. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/126547/breathehr?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/126547/breathehr) ## 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 | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
