### "As a current user of ZenHR"

October 5, 2023

5.0

As a new employee in our company, I can see who my colleagues as well as the hierarchy. There is also calendar to track the holidays. It is so helpful for me. Especially I have all my important documents stored in the system.

Pros

It is so easy to use and more convenient, you can install the app in your phone and even log in to your laptop. It can track where you time in and time out. It is accurately recorded. You can request documents you need and also you can access it any time in the system.

Cons

In my 3 months of using ZenHR. I think none, I didn’t encounter any issues about it.

### "App Review"

February 23, 2026

5.0

Overall, it's a good program that makes it easy for the employee to move both internally and externally.

Pros

The program is easy for employees to use to log in and out of work, and it is not restricted to the workplace, giving us the freedom to use it anywhere near the work location.

Cons

When submitting medical certificates or any other certificates and leave requests, the process is easy to input into the system.

### "Good HR Tool"

March 20, 2022

3.0

I use ZenHR to check in and out at work and occasionally request time off. I find it helpful and user friendly enough to use and definitely is a much better option compared to the fingerprint check in/out that some companies still adopt.

Pros

ZenHR is a very helpful tool for employees to manage their timesheets, vacations, and other requests, and at the same times for employers to track their employees' schedules whether to check attendance or to issue payroll. The software has a lot of features and the customer support is very responsive and helpful.

Cons

Some thing I dislike in the ZenHR software is the geolocation bug in the clock-in and clock-out features: Sometimes the location is stuck and checking in/out at the office would appear like doing so from another location. Also, I don't like that employees are not able to check their total checked in hours during the month, which can be helpful to manage their hours and schedules overall.

### "Time and headaches saving app"

December 9, 2024

5.0

So far it’s been a really nice and pleasant experience, using the app made life so much easier, would definitely recommend it to everyone.

Pros

It’s such a great management site for employees, I loved that I can easily monitor when i’ve logged in and for how long for any day. Additionally, requesting time off has never been easier, and again monitoring my remaining days off and the documents i’ve received from HR is great.

Cons

Only sometimes it could glitch out and not monitor the actual hours i’ve worked, and still shows me as logged in, even though i’ve logged out, or logs me out by itself. However since it monitors everything so it’s not an issue, as on the app it still shows that i’ve logged in at the time i did.

### "Comprehensive and User-Friendly HR Solution with Minor Improvements Needed"

October 23, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with ZenHR has been positive. It offers a user-friendly interface, comprehensive HR features, and helpful automation. It's especially strong in compliance with local labor laws. However, it could improve on integration options and mobile app functionality. Despite these, the customer support is responsive and resolves issues quickly. Overall, it's a reliable HR solution.

Pros

User-friendly interface that’s easy to navigate. Comprehensive HR features covering payroll, attendance, and performance management. Automation of manual tasks saves time and reduces errors. Compliance with local labor laws, tailored for MENA markets. Employee self-service for leave requests and payslips. Cloud-based, enabling access from anywhere.

Cons

Limited integrations with other software, which may require manual data entry or additional workarounds. Customization limitations in some features, especially for businesses with very specific needs. Occasional bugs or glitches reported, though usually resolved quickly by support. Learning curve for first-time users, especially when setting up more advanced features. Mobile app functionality can be limited compared to the desktop version.

### "Efficient HR Solution with Room for Customization"

October 13, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with ZenHR has been very positive. The platform offers a user-friendly interface and a comprehensive set of tools that make managing HR tasks more efficient. It simplifies processes like payroll, employee onboarding, and performance tracking, which has been incredibly valuable for our team. I also appreciate the customer support, which has been responsive and helpful. However, there are a few areas where I see potential for improvement. For instance, expanding the customization options for reports and workflows would be a great enhancement, as different organizations may have unique needs. Nonetheless, ZenHR is a strong, reliable solution, and I’ve seen firsthand how it helps streamline HR operations

Pros

is its innovative approach to simplifying and automating HR processes. The platform's user-friendly interface, combined with its comprehensive range of features, shows a clear understanding of the challenges HR departments face, especially in growing businesses. I also appreciate the company's commitment to creating a positive workplace culture, both for its clients and its own team, which reflects in ZenHR's focus on enhancing employee

Cons

One aspect I found could be improved in ZenHR is the customization options for certain features. While the platform is generally intuitive and efficient, offering more flexibility in tailoring specific tools to the unique needs of different businesses could enhance the user experience even further. That said, I appreciate that ZenHR is constantly evolving, and I’m confident these areas will continue to improve with time

### "Excellent , professional , "

February 23, 2026

5.0

Good and excellent, and your service was extremely professional, to be honest I feel lucky to be dealing with you and not another company.

Pros

What caught my attention the most was the clear and obvious attention to detail regarding the salary, and also the way the salary appears subtly, requiring the mouse to hover over the salary area to reveal it.

Cons

In the two months I've been working with you, I haven't noticed any problems or anything bad, quite the opposite, I see excellent organization and scheduling for everything, from registration and attendance to departures, and everything is recorded with the utmost precision.

### "How ZenHR Serves My Needs"

March 7, 2021

It is pleasant to use and I really like that it does not look intimidating. However I am not in the administration of it so I speak only as a user.

Pros

ZenHR is extremely user friendly and has a pleasing visual interface. I have that it does not look cramped up and help features are available. ZenHR also makes the system with many running parts look seamless.

Cons

I believe that there are features that are not available. I do not see any integrations and as a supervisor of a supervisor, I should be able to see all teams' profiles and related information.
