I feel this system supports me within my role and helps me work efficiently. Pros I find the platform really useful and easy to use. The ripples you can set up save a lot of time.

Cons I have experience using BambooHR, which stands out in comparison due to its stronger reporting capabilities, wider range of features, and better integrations. Access PeopleHR feels more limited in these areas. We also experienced an issue where nearly all employees could view each other’s contracts and personal information, although this may have been due to a configuration or setup issue on our side. Review Source Response from The Access Group February 26, 2026 Thanks for your feedback, Alex. It’s good to hear that the platform is user-friendly for non-HR users and that holiday requests and leave visibility are clear and straightforward, that day-to-day simplicity is important. We appreciate your comparison around reporting, integrations and feature depth. Understanding how PeopleHR stacks up against other systems helps highlight where further enhancements can add value, particularly for finance and reporting-focused roles. Regarding the visibility of contracts and personal information, we take data security and permissions very seriously. Access levels are typically controlled through role-based permissions, so if anything didn’t look right, we’d strongly encourage reviewing configuration settings with support to ensure data access is correctly restricted. Thank you for sharing balanced feedback, it’s genuinely helpful.
