Human Resources Officer Staffing and Recruiting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "An All Round Helping Hand - Excellent HR Software Solution" September 27, 2016 5.0 Our HR department was a very paper heavy function and we needed something to bring us up to date as quickly, easily and cheaply as possible. We tested a number of options and many of them seemed to have close to everything we needed but when it came to costs, we were always faced with a 'but'. A 'You can have this, but if you want that, it will cost you extra' scenario. The version the sales person had demonstrated to us was always the most expensive option and would cost a great deal more than we have been lead to initially believe. We felt many of the sales people we met with from those companies, had a habit of talking 'at' us. An approach which did not sit well. By chance, we stumbled upon Cezanne at a HR exhibition. The representatives on the day were incredibly friendly, helpful, approachable and the information they provided was very clear and we left them having arranged for a demo of their product. We were impressed with how they 'conversed' about their product and did try the hard sell. We were impressed with the ease of navigation, the fact it was cloud based and therefore always accessible. Things looked even more promising when the figures came back in terms of the cost - the same as had been explained to us when we had spoken to them at the exhibition. No hidden extras! From the very first contact with Cezanne, they were always there to help and always went the extra mile. They uploaded our core data, and after a very worthwhile day of training at their head office in London, we were good to go. We started with around 120 employees when we first integrated Cezanne, and that number has now more than doubled. The performance of Cezanne has remained effective and efficient with no visible signs of slowing down in performance. We have also uploaded the hard copy contents of over half our employee files and still, there has been no drop in performance. We do not operate within just the UK, but rather several offices throughout Europe and Asia, and Cezanne has been able to adapt to the different legalities of each country. Since bringing Cezanne on-board, we have been able to hand over much of the employee administration, to the employees themselves - change of addresses, contact numbers, absence management. We've also streamlined our performance management function to a completely paperless process. It has allowed us to hand over much of the day to day running of employee matters, to the Line Managers. It has negated the need populate multiple reports each month for our directors and senior management, as the data is available to them at the push of a button. We were able to tailor reports to individual managers and assign it to them personally. A very big help in itself as it has freed up a great deal of time for the HR department, allowing us to concentrate on other projects that there simply wasn't time to address before. Cezanne is very much a company that encourages customer feedback. They are keenly interested in ideas and suggestions and actively do what they can to meet the requests and suggestions wherever possible. The customer service and support is absolutely first-class. Issues (and user errors as is often my case) are addressed and resolved extremely promptly. Cezanne HR is definitely a software and a company that I would recommend. Pros Software is very straightforward to use with a great user friendly interface. Encourages a greater involvement on the part of the employee and the manager Some of the best customer service I have experienced. The team at Cezanne work with their customers to continually develop and improve the software. They really do listen to the voice of the customer. Has the ability to streamline many HR functions. Has everything - is an all-in-one solution Cons Were I to recommend one area of improvement, it would be the interactions available with some of the data on screen. For example, the ability to filter information on screen so that I can control the order in which I'm viewing it, rather than exporting it to an Excel spreadsheet. However, is is a very minor cosmetic point and as a whole I think the product offers huge benefits. Review Source KE Karen E. HR Advisor Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cezanne has great potential to allow businesses to assist their HR management processes. " April 11, 2025 4.0 Slow to pick up and understand more than the basic actions. With time (and time available) to learn more about the system, it will provide great insight into our people. Pros Cezanne has great potential to allow businesses to assist their HR management processes. Cons The training on implementation is limited to a few rushed sessions which do not allow time for users to follow on screen with their own system. It shows people what the systems is capable of but does not teach them how to use it. You are then left with a great system which you have to learn to navigate. The Help pages are not always helpful and a search can sometimes come up with either no options, or too many options to review. (Where the help team have been contacted for support, their responses have always been informative and resolved the queries.)

HR Assistant Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Cezanne HR review" April 11, 2025 4.0 I use Cezanne every day and it is usually a positive experience. I wouldn't say it's the easiest platform to use however you do get the hang of it. It makes things a lot easier and quicker such as running reports or quickly needing a certain piece of personal info. Pros I like how all information can be saved in one place and I like the report functions as it saves a lot of time. Cons I think some things can be difficult to find at times. Review Source Response from Cezanne HR April 15, 2025 Hey Evie, thank you so much for your review! It's great to hear how Cezanne is saving you time, and making those everyday tasks a little easier.

It has enhanced the credibility of the HR team by having such a great system. Pros The ability to customise the system to make it fit our business. The constant upgrades and enhancements that are made. Cons Not all fields are available within the documents area to merge into a doc.

Head of HR and OD Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid and transparent HRIS." April 14, 2025 4.0 It's a relatively straight forward system to implement and use. Pros It's quite straight forward to use, and the modular nature of the system means that you only need to purchase the elements that you want to use. You can purchase extra modules as when when the business need arises. Cons The interface is quite dated compared to some of the more modern rivals.

Navigation could be a bit slicker Alternatives considered [Personio](https://www.capterra.com/p/158622/Personio/)[Employment Hero](https://www.capterra.com/p/144645/Employment-Hero/) Reason for choosing Cezanne HR Provides the functionality we require with competitive price point Able to scale upwards without moving products Review Source Response from Cezanne HR April 17, 2025 Thanks for sharing your experience, Andrew! We're really pleased to hear that Cezanne is proving simple to use for both Employees and managers. This is such an important part of what we try to do.

Head of HR Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Overall " April 12, 2025 4.0 Overall the system and the support is far superior to what we've had in the past - woukld definitely recommend. Pros The system itself is easy to navigate, simple to use from an end user perspective and relatively simple (if not longwinded to implement). Cons The app needs a serious overhall, and the amount of manual transfer of documents from the old HRIS to Cezanne was way more than we imagined it would be.

I can maintain records, send documents, obtain signatures, create forms, customise etc. Pros Its easy to use, excellent customer service, continuously improving.

Senior HR BP Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Very customisable system" April 14, 2025 5.0 Very positive so far, our account manager is very reactive and the whole process has been very smooth Pros Very customisable and easy to use, able to tailor to the needs of our business. Intuitive system that makes very logical sense. Cons The how to guides could be better and need to be updated, some of the screens need to be split out more so that access can be better controlled (e.g. allow view of contact details without allowing view of emergency contact details). It needs to link better with outlook for manager. Switched from [IRIS Cascade](https://www.capterra.com/p/128430/Core-HR/) Because iris was very poor, not user friendly and slow. Very bad customer service Review Source HM Hayley M. HR Business Partner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Exceptional Experience with Cezanne HR: User-Friendly, Customisable, and Outstanding Support" August 30, 2024 5.0 My overall experience with Cezanne HR has been fantastic. The platform itself is incredibly user-friendly, reliable, and customisable to our needs, which has made it a great fit for our company. What really stood out to me was the implementation process—our implementation manager made it not just smooth, but genuinely fun and enjoyable. Everyone I've interacted with at Cezanne has been amazing, from the support team to the product specialists and sales team. Their commitment to customer satisfaction shines through in every interaction, to even the events they put on. Pros How customisable it is, which suits our needs as a small company perfectly. The system is highly reliable with no downtime, and the support team are quick, efficient, and friendly. It’s also very user-friendly and easy to navigate for our employees and managers. They consistently release updates and are responsive to customer feedback. And it is affordable in cost for us. Cons Shift worker patterns are hard to implement and can take a lot of admin time to ensure they are correct.

Pros Its flexible, the customer service is great and if things do not go right, they put it right. Cons InRecruiting - the module is not that dynamic for an ATS of 2024.

Administrator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cezanne at Barca" April 11, 2025 4.0 For our team in our organisation, we use Cezanne most of the day, every day. So having a platform that is user friendly and sleek makes our job easier. The recent annual leave implementation went very smoothly which makes a stressful time for HR a little less stressful, although explaining what Minimum Entitlement Adjustments are to employees and how they are calculated is just something we get every year. Pros Accessible and easy to navigate. Clear and straightforward absence recording for the less tech savvy. The reporting function is hugely beneficial to how we collect data and helps us spot gaps in our employee information. Cons Not a huge amount we dislike, although it would be a great addition if we could add multiple checklists at once, for if we have multiple new starters on the same day, instead of having to add them individually. We have the loading circle appear a lot so it could be slightly quicker, but it is manageable and not much of an issue at the moment. When using imports and batch spreadsheets, especially for large amounts of employee records, the log for unsuccessful entries is sometimes confusing and not entirely obvious what the error code means. Review Source KH Katie H. HR Coordinator Medical Devices Used the software for: 2+ years ### "HR Coordinator" April 11, 2025 4.0 A good system to support mid-size businesses HR needs. Pros Easy to use, report and access support. The system suits the needs of a mid-size business. Cons Limitations e.g. it would be good to be able to input different deletion dates for different types of data, it would also be good to have a better filing function e.g. upload multiple documents and then select employee/doc type Review Source KR Katy R. People Partner Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good system for a small business" April 11, 2025 4.0 Generally pretty good - this is better suited to a smaller organisation Pros Easy to navigate and store documents for employee Cons Reporting capabilities could be better - easier to access Review Source Response from Cezanne HR April 15, 2025 Hey Katy, Thanks for sharing your thoughts - we really appreciate your feedback.

People Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Lots of Potential" April 14, 2025 3.0 A slow process to truly understand and best utilise it, with positives that Cezanne is adapting to constantly be better Pros I like the simplicity of how Cezanne looks and is to navigate around the sections Cons Report pulling can sometimes be difficult to find the correct way of pulling which report you want from the categories. Also i feel sometimes things are over complicated, and there's niche aspects that need to be remembered to successfully manage the HRIS Review Source LH Liam H. HR Onboarding Advisor Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great system!" April 11, 2025 5.0 10/10 - really enjoying the everything so far!

August 30, 2024 4.0 Overall it is a good system and the support team are great at helping quickly and effectively. The check in Teams calls with a member of staff at Cezanne are also great to discuss any concerns. Pros Visually the platform is very user friendly and makes it very easy to navigate to whatever you need to access. Cons Recently, we have seen a lot of issues that have occurred following updates to the system. The support team were able to help rectify these quickly, but there was no communication at the time that the issue had occurred (despite Cezanne being aware of it) so we had to wait until an employee stumbled across it to then have it resolved, rather than fixing it straight away and avoiding the inconvenience to others.

Pros onboarding process very smooth for candidates and HR can pull all kinds of reports very user friendly Cons recruitment module could be improved when making someone a leaver the process is not fully automatised (we need to physically add end date to all absences etc) when a new joiner's start date change you physically need to change all dates - there should be an easier way to update dates Review Source PG Paulo G.
