## Reviews

### "Great product and outstanding support" — 5.0/5

> **Guy** | *05 January 2016* | Human Resources
> 
> **Pros**: Great, intuitive product with outstanding support.
> 
> **Cons**: Although all feedback I gave CipHR was acted upon, there was at times a little too much reliance on personal relationships between the support team and client (my team).
> 
> I was employed by a client to review and better use out of their CipHR system (amongst many other things).  Working with the CipHR team, we moved from using only the most basic aspects to almost full functionality within 10 months.  There was a significant impact on the business with reduced HR costs, greater HR face time, reduced manager system usage time and reduced error rates.  I could not have done it without the tireless team at CipHR supporting me all the way.

### "ciphr recommendation" — 4.0/5

> **Claire** | *29 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The system is user friendly and contains everything you need for the employee life cycle. It provides value for money and the customer support is invaluable.
> 
> **Cons**: The reports section is difficult to use and there needs to be a level of support between the initial training and then putting this into practise.
> 
> I've had an amazing experience with ciphr. It is a collaborate experience and with available support.\[sensitive content hidden\] has been a great support throughout.

### "We keep willing it to work..." — 1.0/5

> **Suzanne** | *15 July 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: If it works, has the potential to be a great system. Good to add training events but would be  better if more automated and also had a waitlist function.
> 
> **Cons**: Does not work, too complicated for admin users. Reports on pivots so you have to cut and paste onto another excel to manipulate it, utilise report.
> 
> Still waiting for it to work properly but it has been terrible. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been fantastic - 2 shining lights in the total darkness that is CIPHR.

### "Highly recommend." — 5.0/5

> **George** | *31 March 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: We are currently in the process of implementing Ciphr HR and Payroll into our organisation. The procurement process was very smooth and one of the biggest highlights was the approach of the Sales Consultant who gave us confidence in the system through their honest feedback. &#10;&#10;So far, the implementation has gone smoothly and there have been no surprises. The system appears intuitive and good value for money and we are confident that it will transform the way we work.
> 
> **Cons**: The new Ciphr Payroll module is still being developed so there are a few limitations. However, rapid work appears to be being done which will mean most of the limitations will be resolved before we go live.
> 
> Overall a great experience so far from discovery through to procurement and implementation. We can't wait to go live

### "Feedback from Henry Ford Academy" — 4.0/5

> **Olga** | *13 October 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The Ciphr Learning Management System (LMS) offers the essential core functionality and flexibility required to create the learning environment we envisioned for our users. It also provides our dealer management team with the necessary reporting capabilities and tools to manage team training effectively. We've also noted recent improvements in the system update process and related communications.
> 
> **Cons**: In the past, we faced difficulties with prolonged resolution times for system issues. Nevertheless, we now recognise that company-wide improvements have fostered more efficient concern resolution and established more robust processes for addressing system-related problems.
> 
> Since its launch four years ago, the system's functionality has evolved considerably. During this period, the company has also undergone internal restructuring. Overall, we are pleased with our current relationships and the status of our contract.
