### "Quite nice in the first glance"

April 27, 2021

4.0

Pros

\- The fact that it's free (at least for now) is good for experimentation, our org is analyzing some products to use so it's good to have a try before actually use it. - Seem like an all-in-one solution for HR

Cons

\- The onboarding is a bit awkward: + On the portal, when I already set up my company. If I hit sign up with google and my account already exists, should navigate me to the login OR log me in automatically. It's a little bit annoyed when I have to find the Login button + On the signin, is it possible to automatically find my company URL when I log in? Require an extra step to check email for company URL is quite annoying - Why it does not allow me to set up payroll on 15th of the month???

### "Great softare, especially customer support, but it needs a little bit more to develop"

September 19, 2023

4.0

Grove HR helped me organise my company better. Install Onboarding, hiring, and other systems., have the performance review and also have the whole company structure in one place. This is a great tool for startups and small companies.

Pros

Customer Service is the best! On the market, there are a lot of programs for HR, but having someone who will be reliable and has patience answering all your stupid questions and listening for proposals for new features is a treasure. The software is very easy to use and has a very nice design, which is also great. I like that other team members can update their profiles and have different levels of visibility.

Cons

I do not like the whole performance system and hiring part. Situation: we are working now on the Skills matrix, and I want to have a skill inventory and skill map for each employee. This is very hard to do on Grove. Also, we want to create for all employees a learning path that is almost impossible with Grove. The whole Compmay skill inventory is also hard to list on the Grove as there is no option for it. Some basic statistic from the employee performance review is needed as well. The system has a Goals section with is great, but those goals can be set up only by employees, not by hr managers.. And our team, for example, is very hard to do something self initially. It would be really nice to have the whole performance system nicely refined for the future. About Hiring. The problem is that there is no integration with other services. For example, we create a job post on Grove, and it automatically goes to Linkedin, Upwork and other hiring systems (I would actually like to pay additionally for this service). And when we get the candidates applying, we just reply to them from Grove platform. Now, we publish to different websites and manually transfer candidates on Grove after initial review. It is very time-consuming.

Reason for choosing Grove HR

great service, easy to implement the software. A lot of options to use, a great price.

### "Worst company, bad service (infact no service), Worst HRMS"

April 12, 2022

1.0

Bad experience. I would ask other companies not to fall into this trap

Pros

Nothing, their service is bad. Their team sent us fraudulent emails claiming to offer a free trial.

Cons

The thing that we liked least was their fraudulent approach to luring companies into using their HRMS by sending emails about offering trials. We have received many such contradictory emails and when we caught them and questioned them their team just stop responding

### "Good but Scope for improvement"

May 10, 2021

4.0

I am using this web-based software for the last few months and I've realized that something cutting edge is missing out of it. But at the same time, it is a good option for HR management, time, and attendance management. I hope the think tank behind this software will identify the loopholes and try to close them to create best-in-class software. Best Wishes!!

Pros

1\. Easily retrievable 2. Easy to manage i.e. data management 3. Good for small organizations

Cons

1\. workflow and synchronization of module 2. Addition of project/task/work management 3. Learning and Development via this portal 4. Payroll management

Reason for choosing Grove HR

Groove is easy to use for payroll and time, attendance management

### "Grove improved our HR function"

May 4, 2021

5.0

Pros

We never had any HR system before we started to use Grove. We used Excel sheet to log holiday / leave totals and paper leave request forms to apply for leave. No one could remember the amount of leave they had taken or balance left to take. Now they have access to it all the time. We have just started using the attendance system - now it is geotagged - so I know people are checking in to work at home or travelling to the office.

Cons

We only use the leave and time attendance system. We do use the employee database for an electronic data store of the offer letter etc. So to be honest - there isn't anything we do not like.

April 27, 2021

Pros

Everything is best in the product. You can on board the employees, manage their attendance, daily time sheet, OT, leaves. You can do anything which is used in administration. Overall a very good product.

Cons

Till now, I didn’t find any feature which I dislike. However, it would be great if they have the feature of geo location for attendance through app.

### "Great Software"

May 6, 2021

5.0

Overall this a great software and it works well for big and small companies. Support is awesome too. They get back to you within a timely manner.

Pros

This is one of the best HR software that I have found out there. I like most that onboarding, off-boarding, vacation time, sick time, and employee profile is all included. I am also looking forward to review sections that they are creating now. Can't wait to see how this works.

Cons

The one thing I wish it had was a company files sections. This way you could upload company documents for all employee to find where out uploading it to each employee profile.

Reason for choosing Grove HR

It had everything I was looking for in one software.

### "Less stress and more results "

February 8, 2021

5.0

Recruitment, onboarding, employee records management. We saved a lot of time and operational cost when using Grove HR

Pros

The new time attendance feature has been a huge relief for me as not only does it save me a lot of time that I'd have previously spent on spreadsheets in a bid to track the time spent by the employees, it also helps the team in paying accurately. No more issues of over/underpaying.

Cons

The minor issue we've noticed is that the comment for the team can't include much characters. It would be really helpful if they can increase the character limit.

### "Grove HR Review"

May 8, 2021

4.0

So far, I've had great experience.

Pros

It's a user-friendly HR software for businesses, to store all employee related information. It's available on desktop and mobile for self-service. What is great, is that you can track the complete employee life cycle. The customized fields can be adjusted to your business needs.

Cons

I have not used the system in-depth yet, so I am not able to make suggestions or provide a honest opinion.

Still to explore a lot.

Pros

The attendance feature and timeout feature in the app is great. I am yet to use the reports to understand the details better.

Cons

There is no admin app. Admin has to use the laptop to use managerial functions. Admin cant see the full attendance report either on a day or a period basis.
