Excellent HRIS for Canadian SMEs
Reviewed on 2023/07/06
Pros
Their product itself works great. If we do have any issues, the Humi support team is incredibly quick and responsive, providing us with the answers that we need. I have zero hesitation recommending Humi to any HR team looking for an intuitive HRIS.
Cons
The mobile app isnt the best. This is by no means a showstopper

Great HRIS provider
Reviewed on 2023/10/23
Pros
Humi is a great HRIS system with options from training tracking, time off requests, personnel record maintenance, performance reviews, goal tracking etc.
Cons
We have been considering using Humi as our payroll provider as well as HRIS provider but they still have room to grow. In both the payroll and HRIS realm, we need the flexibility to have staff working in two programs under two different supervisors.

Overall, the software is user-friendly and meets our basic needs. We moved payroll to another provider due to errors. Humi has been very focused on developing its scheduling platform and as a result, other improvements and suggestions for feature enhancements have been largely ignored. I am hopefully that they will continue to develop and make the software more efficient.
Pros
Humi has made a number of improvements to its applicant tracking/recruiting systems and we are satisfied with this program. There could be further improvements to make it more efficient but overall, it works.
Cons
The reporting tools have been very disappointing and not usable in most cases. A basic turnover report with analytics is very important to us and we do not currently have this ability.
Response from Humi
Hi Carla, thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback. We're glad to hear you find Humi user-friendly, and that you're satisfied with our Recruiting platform.
We are continuously working to develop our software to improve our clients' experience, and we're sorry you didn't feel this has been the case recently. Thank you for your input on the need for a turnover report; we value and welcome feedback like this to help shape future product improvements.
Thanks for continuing to support Humi and providing us with your valuable feedback.

The software has been working extremely well for us and the Humi onboarding and support staff have been very good. The value is exceptional.
Pros
Being Canadian based, Humi accommodated all of our needs as a Canadian company. It was especially great that the time-off system accommodates multiple workweek schedules to easily handle 4-day and 5-day workweeks that we use.
Cons
The biggest deficiency is the lack of a mobile app to interface the software. The web site is also not particularly good on mobile browsers so the most important functionality: time-off requests and approvals, need to be done on a computer. These are table stakes for a modern HRIS these days.
Reasons for Choosing Humi
BambooHR did not support multiple work schedules which we require for employees on both 4-day and 5-day workweeks. Their support and product staff had no public facing plans to support the feature.Switched From

Setup was a breeze and it was great to go from no system to having a system but now that we are fully involved in using the system I am finding a lot of limitations. Serve has been great when there has been an user but I don't find that HUMI itself seems to be focused on improving areas that will have the most impact to their clients.
Pros
HUMI is very user friendly. Good for a smaller company that wants basic functionality to manage Human Resource tasks. Recruitment model is very straight forward and easy to manage. The Payroll team is fantastic, efficient and timely.
Cons
Functionality of some of the elements is very basic. The performance management module is almost useless. It was not setup with a performance management cycle in mind. Options for employee status need to be added to make the set up more functional. Training module setup isn't very practical either.
Reasons for Switching to Humi
We picked HUMI for a couple of reasons, one being that it was Canadian, Payroll was integrated, the quick implementation time and that it was a system that was overly complicated.- Industry: Real Estate

We likle humi - we still have a few complaints from the supervisors regarding the english and the performance that are long (every question needs an answer)
Pros

I love the fact that I can connect as someone else to show them where to go
Cons

The fact that the supervisors can't accept / deny vacations on the email
The fact that the employee can't search in the documents (only the admin")

The overall experience has been great. I brought Humi into a former company and the one I am currently with.
Pros
Humi is incredibly easy for employees to use. We use it for recruiting, hiring/onboarding, employee performance reviews, payroll, and offboarding.
As the main administrator, I find Humi extremely straightforward and able to get all the information I need.
Cons
The performance section is overall good but, compared to other survey software such as Survey Monkey, it is not as advanced.
The goal setting can be a bit confusing.
Reasons for Choosing Humi

We are slowly moving things over - but are nervous due to the glitchiness of the the system. It does not feel very secure. and it is very hard to know what access to give people - eg. time off reporting can't be accessed because it contains pay information.
Pros
The product is customizable and the price point is good.
Cons
Certain modules are clunky or rudimentary which renders them useless and you are better off looking elsewhere for solutions - looking at you "surveys" and "performance".Don't like the offer/on-boarding functionality - limited in how you present the offer and not able to send two attachments (offer letter and agreement). It is VERY glitchy and weird things - especially with roles and permissions - seem to happen all the time and the support team can't say what happened and why. It is a huge issue with regards to access to private information and documents.

PIt has been great. For any challenges that have come up, support has been helpful and fairly quick to respond.
Pros
Our main usages for the software are time off/vacation tracking, payroll, and employee information.
Cons
The only con is for daily flat-rate employees and not having the ability to compensate that way.
The response time to support tickets is fairly quick, but there have been times of urgency when it would be nice to have a number to call.

Íts a great little platform, the staff are very approachable and hard working, but you do always have to keep one eye on it re: bugs or employee updates.
Pros
Ease of use for staff, clean simple layout
Cons
There are just very small but essential developments needed within many of the features. It takes a long time to see them updated/implemented sometimes. For instance, work schedules - the current feature really doesnt work for employees with rotating schedules'. Synchronization is also desperately needed for your MS Teams status when you have leave approved.

We are not yet using Humi to its full potential. I'm not 100% confident with recruitment, and we haven't used it for perfomance management yet.
Pros
I like the fact that this software is Canadian and I don't have to wade through US forms etc. The support team is thorough, patient, and usually gets back to me within 24 hours. It is relatively easy to use, and the person who trained me was definitely a necessary service.
Cons

Humi - couldn’t do HR without it!
Reviewed on 2019/03/04
Pros
My experience with Humi so far has been seamless and enjoyable. We’re a 20 person software startup in the process of doubling our headcount over the next 8 months, so we were looking for something easy to use, but with enough features to support us while we scale. It was important to us that our new employees be impressed with the onboarding flow, since this is their first impression of our company, and this was one of the things that impressed me about Humi the most. The experience for new employees onboarding to the Humi system (and our company) is very sleek. Overall the sales process was quick and easy - some other companies weren’t as efficient and didn’t get straight to the point. And the process of learning the software was easy - I was reassured that I would have a dedicated onboarding specialist, and they did reach out, but I opted to teach myself how to use the system instead. I was able to figure out basically everything on my own, and just had a few final questions for their team before launching the software internally. So far, the response of our existing team has been great. They’ve all started using it to request time off already, and we’re going to start to dabble with the performance and recruiting module very soon. I’ve likely only set up and configured 50% of the full depth of features that are in this product. Excited to explore more.
Cons
I did find one UX issue while creating an approval flow for a time off policy, but that’s to be expected in such a big product. From what I can tell there are hundreds of features. I’ll update my review should I encounter anything else. I also wish the Slack integration had more functionality.

Reviewed on 2022/10/13
Pros
We moved over to Humi to help track our banked time, vacation time and wellness days, as well have a single source for paystubs. Humi has been easy to use for these tasks, and since then we have also used other tools such as performance add-ons. It's easy to use, and great for the employees to track what they need.
Cons
It lacks a bit on the cybersecurity side. It has important data (like SIN numbers), and need to provide more security for this data. It could always be cheaper.
