IT Manager Textiles Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "IT Manager" April 7, 2025 4.0 We’ve had a mixed but mostly positive experience. While there have been delays with critical developments, the support has been strong, and the team is always willing to help. The platform itself is modern and easy to use, and when functioning fully, it streamlines many of our processes. We’re optimistic that with continued improvements, Evalu-8 will become an even more valuable part of our HR toolkit. Pros The system is incredibly user-friendly, clean, and visually intuitive. The app is excellent for both employees and managers, with features like Face ID, document access, and holiday booking making things much easier. The team has also been helpful and open to feedback, with some developments already successfully implemented. Cons The delay in delivering key developments has been frustrating. Some features, such as audit trails and payroll integration, are essential for compliance and efficiency, and we’ve been waiting over a year. Also, inconsistencies in the calendar week start date across the platform create confusion.

It combined time and attendance, document management, staff communication, and onboarding in a single user-friendly platform. The flexibility of the system, the roadmap of ongoing developments, and the overall value for money were key factors in our decision. We also appreciated the support and responsiveness during the initial stages, which gave us confidence in their customer service. Switched from [Time and Attendance](https://www.capterra.com/p/172648/Advanced-Time-and-Attendance/) We were looking for a more modern, intuitive platform that could offer better flexibility, improve user experience across the business, and support a more digital, centralised approach to HR and time management. Evalu-8 provided a wider range of features and a clearer long-term vision that aligned better with our operational goals. Review Source BB Becky B. HR Manager Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great HR system for an SME " June 12, 2025 4.0 My experience has been positive. If I have needed support or advice, my queries have always been dealt with quickly either by support ticket or calling the team directly. I would recommend Evalu8 to any small business looking to have a system that takes the head ache out of HR admin. Pros As a small business Evalu8 has allowed us to move all of our HR admin onto a platform. No more spreadsheets calculating holiday use, No more spreadsheets tracking sickness data. So much time has been saved to myself and I know the information is real time and accurate. Having contracts, handbooks and policies in one place that everyone can access has also been really useful. We have used the sickness and lateness data in a number of review meetings and its powerful to show the employee their own profiles which has made these conversations easier for our line managers. Cons When running reports on absences, I would like to see the system pulling off data for historical employees as well as current. It would also be good a to see an ATS element in the future. Alternatives considered [BrightHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/151525/BrightHR/)[Breathe](https://www.capterra.com/p/126547/BreatheHr/) Reason for choosing Evalu-8 HR We chose evalu8 as it was more comprehensive than others on the market and was a reasonable price to invest into. Liked that their was no contract length either Review Source AS Alicja S. HR Manager Glass, Ceramics & Concrete Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Feedback on system." June 11, 2025 2.0 Recently, I’ve experienced frequent problems with saving entries, uploading documents, and recording data. Our Health & Safety Officer has also reported several issues with documents not being saved in the training section, but no action has been taken. I was advised that perhaps she didn’t know how to upload them properly, but the process is quite straightforward and doesn't require extensive training. Pros The system is user-friendly in the sense that items are generally located where you would expect to find them. Cons The custom reports are not truly customisable. When I raised this issue, I was told I could use three different reports to obtain the data I needed, but I am unable to generate the specific report I require because the "custom" reporting function does not allow for that level of flexibility. The system was supposed to work seamlessly with the facial recognition system we had installed, but we are still unable to fully rely on it. HR reports, such as sickness records, often need to be checked and amended manually as they regularly pull incorrect data. For example, figures are inaccurate if someone leaves partway through the month, which have impact on absence/attendance percentage figures. I also notice inconsistencies in attrition figures ect. When generating letters, formatting changes, so everything has to be edited and double-checked manually. I don’t use or create contracts through the system because it would require too much rework. Additionally, there is no audit trail or record of changes made in the system. For instance, if someone changes their shift pattern from a 3-day week to a 5-day week, there is no way to view their previous working pattern once the update has been made. This would also apply to change of address, bank details ect. Review Source KD Kerry D. HR Manager Food Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great HR software system" March 31, 2025 4.0 Very good. Great support and training provided by staff. Pros Very easy to navigate, lots of functions Cons Permissions and restrictions can be difficult to set up, plus holiday year entitlement not being able to adjust until start of holiday year.

" April 1, 2025 5.0 Evalu-8 has helped us no end in centralising documentation and holidays. Gone are the 15 different spreadsheets! There are loads of functions we are yet to unlock, but looking forward to seeing what other benefits we can add. Pros Ease of use for my staff. Support from the team in setting up and migrating data. Cons I haven't found anything I don't like yet! Switched from [Breathe](https://www.capterra.com/p/126547/BreatheHr/) The system was a mess and its always easier to work from scratch than try to fix carnage!

Chief Commercial Officer Food & Beverages Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Evalu8 Feedback" April 10, 2025 5.0 So far we are pleased but do believe we do not get enough use out of it (this is mainly due to multiple changes on our side) Pros Easy to use on the website (less so on the app). Cons Ability to create reports in a specific order so it can be used for payroll etc , sometimes you need information from multiple sections which we either don't know how to do or Switched from [Bayzat](https://www.capterra.com/p/166098/Bayzat-Benefits/) Looking for a more user friendly reliable solution that could support the HR department Review Source Response from Evalu-8 April 11, 2025 Thanks for your feedback, it’s great to hear you’re finding Evalu-8 easy to use and a good fit for your HR team.

Cons a personal one the amount of time it takes to populate - but that is no reflection on the portal/ product Alternatives considered [Youmanage](https://www.capterra.com/p/160449/Youmanage/) Reason for choosing Evalu-8 HR CLEANER AND SIMPLER, MORE FEATURES AND CHEAPER Review Source Response from Evalu-8 March 28, 2025 Hi Rachel, Thanks so much for the lovely review!

HR Advisor Telecommunications Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fantastic Experience" July 24, 2025 5.0 I'd say that my experience of evalu8 has been fantastic, it is an ever evolving platform that happens to be very good value for money. The new features are quite frequent and relevant, I find it really refreshing that they take the customer's requests into account when implementing new changes. Pros I like the ease of use, the price is very good compared to other HR systems out there as well and the customer support we are given, the support staff are always helpful and reply very quickly. They are also available to hop on a teams interview and deliver training, which is so helpful. Cons I wish we could change the colours a bit more to suit or company's logos but that's very much a want and not a need. Some more automation would also be nice. Review Source AK April K. HR Manager Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Evalu8 Experience " April 2, 2025 4.0 My experience has been over all good, the team are very helpful and responsive to queries. They also are happy to do training sessions on teams which is really nice to refer back to. I have found the system takes some getting used to especially the Evaluations section. I have been using for a year and still have not mastered it, but am confident that I will get the hang of it as there is lots of resource available. Pros The process of uploading documents for E sign, it reduces paper usage and allows for documents to be updated quickly. The holiday booking system for employees - really user friendly. Cons TOIL function is hard to use lots of hidden function that sometimes you are not aware of Evaluations forms cannot be edited without losing all the data, means there are lots of versions which can be confusing. Review Source Response from Evalu-8 April 11, 2025 Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! We're really glad to hear you're finding the e-signature and holiday booking features helpful, and that our team has been supportive along the way.

April 10, 2025 4.0 Once you use it you wonder how you managed without it! Pros Its great for the staff clocking in and out on the app, requesting holidays etc. Signing off company documents is easy to use too. All staff records in one place. The support is excellent - reply very quickly. Cons Sometimes working out the permissions. Also holiday entitlement when new staff are recruited during the year. Review Source Response from Evalu-8 April 11, 2025 Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so pleased to hear how much easier things are with Evalu-8 and that our support team has been helpful.

Internal Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Overall a good piece of software" April 23, 2025 3.0 Staff are always friendly and pretty helpful. The software is good but could definitely be more accessible for people with disabilities and could be more robust. Pros Visually easy to navigate and some good reporting functions. The help centre is always quick to respond Cons The app and the desktop site can show different things, although I am told the app is being re-done. The reporting functions could be more robust and easier to navigate. Expenses could be much easier to do (we don't use this function because its not great) Review Source KW Kirsty W. HR Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "HR in one Place " April 10, 2025 5.0 Very good company Training is very thorough, with recordings sent on request for reference Service is excellent, they get back to you promptly. Great platform, that's customizable for the business needs. Competitively priced. Pros Easily keep accurate records and notes for all employees. Lots of useful reports. Everything all in one place. Very responsive with service enquiries. Cons Have had the odd issue with bulk letter generation. Review Source MR Marie R. Advanced Nurse Practitioner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to navigate and comprehensive " April 3, 2025 5.0 I work in the healhcare setting, in primary care. Evalu -8 is by far the best HR platfom I've used. Everything is on there, policies, enployee info, training certificates etc and you get reminders when your mandatory training is due. Also really helpful when booking leave to see what your colleagues have requested. Pros I like how easy the site is to navigate. Cons There is nothing i can say i liked least about the platform.

Pros Amazing customer service and support, system meets every requirement. Cons Nothing! Great experience using the system. Review Source LP Lee P. Operations Manager Photography Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Evalu - 8 AWESOME user friendly effective HR system" September 23, 2021 5.0 So far its been fabulous, from day 1 we have been looked after, big company finish with family friendly service, perfect mix for us and would recommend to anyone in any business. Pros Value for money. Amazing response on help if required. Mobile portal is adaptable and super easy to use. Adaptable to other softwares if required. Really flexible and easy system to monitor and scale up or down as required for all team. Cons Being honest at this point not found a Con Reason for choosing Evalu-8 HR From the start it was super simple with an ability to flex up the systems use in tracking everything. I feel evalu - 8 will grow with our business and when we go multi-site it will really show its worth with data collection and secure and safe storage of documentation for your business and its teams. Robbie has always answered and been available whenever i have needed and he has always asked for feedback on how they can improve their product. Review Source MS Mohammed S. Commercial Account Manager Chemicals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Remote employee" November 29, 2022 5.0 We started using Evalu-8 during the pandemic as it allowed employees to clock in and out without using the fingerprint scanner. It also meant that people working from home could clock in and out of work every day. Holidays are now easy to book, cancel, rearrange and keep track of. Our old system involved having to fill in forms that went into a folder. If anything needed to be changed, we had to amend or redo paper forms. This has now eliminated that. My manager can approve holidays without having to sign off forms and I know when it has been done. As I work remotely, I don't know when we have employed new people in other departments. The directory lets me see who is currently employed and what their roles are. Finally, any important docs that have been uploaded by management can be accessed and signed off by everyone as all employees are on Evalu-8. It's a great app that I have on my phone and use every day. Pros Can clock in and out of workCan book holidaysCan read and sign important company documentsCan see all employees and their roles in the company directory Cons None that I can think of, but then again I'm an employee that uses it in a limited capacity. I do sometimes forget to clock off so maybe a feature that alerts you when it's time to finish? Review Source Response from Evalu-8 December 1, 2022 Thank you for your kind words Mohammed. Just to let you know, there is a feature that will notify you if you forget to clock in or out, it just needs to be activated by your administrator. We have some other exciting features coming to the app in early 2023 too. dB debbie B. HR Manager Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Forrest Review" September 14, 2021 5.0 Pleased with the system and think it has a lot of potential which we will eventually use. Pros Integration with the business was easy. Good support. There are loads of functionality in the system. Cons When you access the software, to get into the system you have to use the mouse and don't have the option of hitting enter as well. The training videos aren't as helpful as they could be. They talk too quick on the video to take in what they are saying and don't provide examples. I don't find it as easy as other HR systems to produces documents. Reason for choosing Evalu-8 HR Flexibility, price, support and functionality. Review Source fS francesca S. Head of HR Food Production Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Best HR Software " October 26, 2022 5.0 The BEST experience. Pros The customer service is by far the best i have seen. Especially for this type of software. It is a great management tool and single source of truth. it has helped us tremendously grow our department. Cons There are some features which are great to have but need some fine tuning to be able efficiently used. The resources booking is one of them. The payslip function needs to be easier and accessible on app. and the T&A pincode tool is great but needs to get a bit smarter e.g. asking if it is a break and asking if they are leaving the building etc. but the team are working really hard in the background to help with any needs we have had.

Review Source Response from Evalu-8 October 28, 2022 Thank you for the review Francesca, some very kind words. Watch this space for the tweaks you have suggested. LB Lee B. Health & Safety and Training Officer Glass, Ceramics & Concrete Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent, simple to use platform that allows us to comply with H&S better." June 5, 2019 5.0 Evalu-8 is a great benefit to the company, especially in accordance with Health & Safety and Training. We can log all staff training and allow us to ensure that H&S Policies, H&S Handbook, Risk Assessments, Safe Working Procedures and all relevant training documents are all easily accessible. It is a real cost effective way to assist with adhering to all our legal duties when complying with H&S. Pros We have just recently started to use the company document section where we can send documents to members of staff, which therefore allows them to read and sign the document. This provides us with a clear audit trail of staff who have read and signed to confirm read and understood risk assessments and safe working procedures and any training documents we need to share. With a business with other 150 staff this has saved a lot of time printing and sitting down with the employees. This also allows the staff to be more engaged with the business and allow them to have access to what is required 24/7. Cons Very little wrong with the software, although it would be good to see a more detailed report for read and signed documents. Review Source JT James T. Partner Facilities Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fantastic software" February 18, 2022 5.0 Fantastic customer service Pros The clock in and out feature and the staff reports Cons The site form builder can be a bit tricky to get use to. Review Source Response from Evalu-8 February 21, 2022 Hi James, Thank you so much for your review. In terms of your feedback on the form builder, watch this space over the next few days as this process will be made easier. It will be similar to the risk assessment and Rams builder. KJ Katie J. HR Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We love Evalu-8" September 13, 2021 5.0 Fantastic. Such great support from the moment we transferred over. Everyone is so helpful and they take onboard feedback and try to implement to make everything user friendly. Cannot see ourselves changing systems ever again. Pros It is easy to use, fantastic functionality, and great support. Cons The display could be a bit more modern but is easy to use. Reason for choosing Evalu-8 HR Fantastic client support, ability to add or remove sections. Just fantastic product Review Source GK Glen K. HR Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use" February 15, 2022 5.0 Much better than what we had before, by some distance. Pros It is really intuitive and easy to use. They seem to have thought of everything with this software as everything is in one package, with one place to log in. I can easily keep my details up to date, book holiday, see my shifts, receive and sign documents and view my training record. Cons I cant really find a fault, compared to the previous software we used this is brilliant. Review Source JJ Julie J.

Pros This software is good for various reasons the first being engagement with employees using the anniversary tool. This program is excellent for monitoring trends and kpis which I vital within a manufacturing environment. And using the attachment tool this enables me to store reviews and general documents on the individuals profile. In short this program gives me time and that is important.
