> 
> **Cons**: No complaints at all—the new enhancements have truly improved the experience. What used to be a bit cumbersome is now streamlined and intuitive, making it much easier to find the topics I need.
> 
> So far, HR Hero has been a game-changer.  Having compliance tools and timely updates right at our fingertips makes staying current effortless. It’s reliable and saves us valuable time. One standout feature is the ability to access handbooks tailored to each of the 22 states we operate in remotely—an absolute lifesaver. Looking forward to exploring more of what it offers\!

### "Great product for contractors and PEOs" — 5.0/5

> **Tiffany** | *January 21, 2025* | Human Resources | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Being able to look up topics and view federal and state laws side-by-side is immensely helpful\!
> 
> **Cons**: The overall view is a bit antiquated and it can be difficult to find what you're looking for on occasion, but nothing prohibitive.

-----

### "Very comprehensive from a compliance standpoint" — 4.0/5

> **Rachel** | *March 18, 2026* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: HR Hero is the most comprehensive and updated HR compliance source that I have found. While it is expensive for my small business, it is so valuable\! The compliance advice is extremely detailed, up-to-date, and the digests about what is changing and when is so helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: As a consultant that uses HR Hero in a way that most users probably don't utilize it, it is expensive for the way we use it (getting compliance updates, occasional exemption reports for workplaces) but I trust the source so much that I deal with the cost.
> 
> Recent platform updates have made it easier to use than the previous iteration. I have been most satisfied with the exemption report tool as well as the support from employment lawyers on getting tough questions answered.
