Cezanne HR

Pros: The easy of use, both from an admin point of view and also for users. Also being able to add modules over time. Support - emails are responded to very quickly and guidance is clear

Cons: Analytic reporting is not easy to use when wanting different criteria Account management support - We use to have good contact with our account manager ([sensitive content hidden]). I've been told this has changed to [sensitive content hidden] and I've emailed for assistance, but I've not received any response even though I've chased.

Pros: The self service element of the system works very well, allowing our employees to make sure there details are all up to date and it allows them to check what information we have used before querying.

Cons: The date driven nature of the system is totally different to the way that our HR software worked, which meant that implementation of automation from the scheduled reports was more complicated than it seemed initially

Pros: Cezanne HR is a solid HR software platform, especially for mid-sized businesses looking to streamline HR processes. What stands out most about it is its modular flexibility and user-friendly interface.

Cons: although the design is clean, it can still be a little clunky or not as intuitive The reporting is decent, but building custom reports sometimes feels restricted or takes more time than expected

Pros: The ease of use for end users, whether you're an administrator or an everyday colleague/user, the teams seem to get on very well. The various modules that are available and can be added in; these varying modules support all business functions,

Cons: The lack of workflows and management of Starter / Leaver process, however, this might well be how we are using the platform, and as a business will be looking at our workflow processes, and redesigning this from scratch, and utilizing both Cezanne and other internal tools to improve this process.

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.

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

Pros: Seamless First-Time HRIS Implementation - As our company’s first HRIS, Cezanne made the transition surprisingly smooth. Its intuitive design and user-friendly interface ensured quick adoption across teams, minimising disruption and maximising efficiency from day one. Our implementation manager was a true partner—responsive, knowledgeable, and committed to understanding our unique needs. They turned potential challenges into opportunities, ensuring the system aligned perfectly with our workflows and culture.

Cons: While our experience with Cezanne has been overwhelmingly positive, we’ve noted a few opportunities to refine the system further: While basic reporting is strong, we’d love more drag-and-drop customization for ad-hoc reports. Employees love the Home Hub, but some mention notification fatigue. While we’ve tailored the appraisal process brilliantly, adding more dynamic goal-tracking visuals (e.g., progress bars, milestone celebrations) could boost manager/employee motivation.

Pros: How bespoke the system is especially in tailoring security roles and profiles in addition to exceptional functionality across the board and the excellent customer service.

Cons: There isn't anything we don't like although a few enhancements would support the end user further e.g. availability of payslips on the app

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.

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.

Pros: I like the simplicity of the system and how clean the UI is and easy to use. I like that the system continues to evolve. The service we receive from the helpdesk are very good and answering timely.

Cons: It is set up for full time employees and we have constant problems with part timers and some of the ways you need to treat them differently. For example, we have a part timer and we cannot reflect her annual pro-rated salary correctly. Getting reports from the system can be difficult to understand.

Pros: Good comprehensive product. The Api interface has proved extremely useful to us.

Cons: Can be a little slow at times. We have mitigated this by using the API to download data

Pros: Everything in one place. Reporting is excellent

Cons: It is difficult for where you have staff on fully flexible shifts Bradford score isn't always reflective

Pros: The ability to pull reports on so many different aspects of the business, with the facility to schedule these reports to be sent automatically

Cons: The integration with our payroll system is not the smoothest.

Pros: Cezanne gives us all the features we need to support HR functions - from onboarding through to performance reviews, finance and amazing learning tools. Straightforward pricing by module.

Cons: A little fiddly to set up, but once done it is amazing!

Pros: We like the fact that Cezanne can be set up and designed in a bespoke way, so that it supports how your business is set up. we also like the fact that we have used the system to automate a lot of manual processes such as our appraisal, exit interviews, probationary reviews etc.

Cons: The reporting. Its doesn't have the best reporting capabilities, but the good thing is that it is always improving. Reporting in HR is critical, so this is the one area I would like to see more improvements in.

Pros: Its easy to use, excellent customer service, continuously improving.

Cons: There are areas that don't work for the business I work for but that won't mean that they can't work for someone else!

Pros: To have all records in one place is efficient and tidy

Cons: Do not have any real concerns. sometimes imports can take a while to load

Pros: Easy to use. Recruitment module is good . Holiday booking is simple

Cons: I would like all managers to be able to see other teams holidays without giving them full access. Part timer’s holiday and sickness does not calculate properly

Pros: It is a very intuitive system and makes life a lot easier for setting up employees and producing documents.

Cons: It sometimes can be quire complex to do a simple task if you don't know how the system works.

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.

Pros: It's a simple but effective platform for managing our People operations. The support is responsive, and the platform uptime is excellent. They are building out different integrations with different systems, and their "recent" managed payroll service is making a difference for us. Great system.

Cons: My only issue is that the customisation options are fixed, but that's with most cloud-based systems and requesting feature changes, which is a simple process that will take a while to implement.

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.)
