Allows us to track employee performance and can get things easily signed by the team. It gives us a way to communicate to all staff. > > **Cons**: Set up at start was difficult and didn't get as much support as wished, we were lucky that we had an external HR company set up. Lots of emails also can be frustrating from the support team as some seem automated so its quite confusing. > > Really good and allows us to streamline our HR admin, it also saves us so much time. All the employees are really happy with the platform and find it a much better system. ----- ### "User Friendly System" — 5.0/5 > **Rhiannon** | *May 5, 2026* | Warehousing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Pricing is competitive. The AI chat box is helpful for quick customer support. The system is user friendly. > > **Cons**: It is a UK system so some features are UK specific, we have employees in ROI and there is different references i.e. NIN vs PPSN . > > Overall satisfied with the system. Can upload documents for digital signing very easily. Would recommend to other businesses. ----- ### "Repeated Issues, Poor Customer Service and Account Management - would not recommend" — 1.0/5 > **Robyn** | *May 1, 2026* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s difficult to identify strong positives overall, but the AI chat function for support has been improving and is sometimes helpful. The system does allow us to log holiday and sickness and store documents, which covers some basic HR needs. > > **Cons**: Our experience with this platform and the company behind it has been consistently disappointing. We have been operating on a historic version of PeopleHR for quite some time. This version is outdated, has poor functionality, and is generally a difficult system to work with, which made us genuinely look forward to the promised upgrade. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the upgraded platform itself, as it is still not live and we have not yet received the training that was scheduled as part of the upgrade plan. We signed a contract to upgrade our HR system with agreed timelines, including a clear start date for the upgrade and scheduled training. Those commitments were not met. The upgrade was delayed without adequate explanation, which then delayed training and had a direct impact on our internal project timelines. What makes this particularly frustrating is that this is not the first time we have experienced these issues. We faced very similar problems around a year ago, which were escalated to the complaints team at the time. It is therefore extremely disappointing to see the same issues recurring, with little evidence that any meaningful improvements have been made. Communication has been poor throughout. There appears to be a lack of internal coordination between teams, resulting in conflicting information, repeated explanations on our side, and ongoing confusion about what is actually happening. Even escalation to the complaints team did not lead to improved communication or delivery. A recurring theme has been the significant gap between what is promised and what actually happens. Employees are very good at reassuring you that they are taking ownership, that they are looking into the issue, will be your single point of contact, and will not rest until things are resolved. In reality, actions rarely match those assurances. Once the contract is signed, there appears to be little urgency or accountability in delivering on commitments. Given the business‑critical nature of an HR system, the lack of ownership, follow‑through, and reliable customer support is deeply concerning. Based on our experience over an extended period, we would be very cautious about recommending this company or platform to other organisations > > Our overall experience with Access PeopleHR has been frustrating and disappointing. Despite repeated assurances, agreed timelines for an upgrade and training were missed, communication between teams was poor, and escalation to the complaints team led to little meaningful action. Given that similar issues occurred around a year ago, it is concerning to see the same patterns repeated with no evident improvement. Cant comment on Evo Pro upgrade yet as it hasn't happened but old version is limited in functionality. ----- ### "HR People Review" — 4.0/5 > **Jinnie** | *March 6, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how easy it is to use. It has all the features I would expect from a HRIS system in once place which make my role much easier and I can support staff more efficiently. > > **Cons**: Customer support - including invoices we receive. Often these are incorrect. We challenge these and it is weeks before we often get a response from someone at Access. > > So far, after sorting out some issues with Access directly we have had a good experience mostly other than the points mentioned in the previous question.. ----- ### "Brilliant software - solid performer at a reasonable price" — 5.0/5 > **Sorrel** | *May 27, 2026* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really simple way to keep track of documents, policies signed, and employee data. Employees find it easy to use too. The price is also really reasonable\! > > **Cons**: It would be simpler to have a send invite button, rather than deleting and re-inputting email addresses, but it isn't a huge issue\! > > Really good - they wanted to handhold on the onboarding, but I've used this system in a previous company for 12 years, so it wasn't necessary. They're very thorough\! ----- Page: 1 / 27\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/211952/access-people-hr-software?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/211952/access-people-hr-software) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
