Working with the CipHR team, we moved from using only the most basic aspects to almost full functionality within 10 months. There was a significant impact on the business with reduced HR costs, greater HR face time, reduced manager system usage time and reduced error rates. I could not have done it without the tireless team at CipHR supporting me all the way. ----- ### "Great all in one HR systems provision" — 5.0/5 > **Nick** | *21 November 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: They have an effective module for everything we need in one package, which just works much better than having 6 different systems as we did previously. Each of them has all the customisation options we need to make the system work really well for our processes. The new core UI makes it really easy to see everything in one place, and employees rarely need help finding what the need. The payroll integration works really well and saves us upkeeping two different sets of employment data. The bureau are really responsive and knowledgeable. > > **Cons**: The recruiters portal is hopefully next on the list for a UI refresh as it's a bit dated but it does everything we need. Self service of changing the email notifications is apparently coming which will be better for us to more frequently update them. > > We had a great implementation experience, and the customer service are responsive whenever we need anything. They engage us with upcoming improvements and everyone we speak to is genuinely nice. ----- ### "We keep willing it to work..." — 1.0/5 > **Suzanne** | *15 July 2025* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: If it works, has the potential to be a great system. Good to add training events but would be better if more automated and also had a waitlist function. > > **Cons**: Does not work, too complicated for admin users. Reports on pivots so you have to cut and paste onto another excel to manipulate it, utilise report. > > Still waiting for it to work properly but it has been terrible. \[sensitive content hidden\] have been fantastic - 2 shining lights in the total darkness that is CIPHR. ----- ### "ciphr recommendation" — 4.0/5 > **Claire** | *29 January 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The system is user friendly and contains everything you need for the employee life cycle. It provides value for money and the customer support is invaluable. > > **Cons**: The reports section is difficult to use and there needs to be a level of support between the initial training and then putting this into practise. > > I've had an amazing experience with ciphr. It is a collaborate experience and with available support.\[sensitive content hidden\] has been a great support throughout. ----- ### "CIPHR Payroll" — 5.0/5 > **Fiona** | *9 February 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ciphr Payroll - importing timesheets is quick, efficient and accurate. The system is user-friendly and processing is faster overall thanks to HR integration. > > **Cons**: Ciphr Payroll - The reporting side seems complicated, likely due to limited training following the recent implementation. This would have been a useful exercise to cover during the implementation period. We have avoided the rollback process as it feels long-winded and it is not possible to switch to the next person when in query mode. > > We have recently implemented Ciphr Payroll and the experience was made seamless thanks to the outstanding support from the team, in particular \[sensitive content hidden\] From day one, they guided us through the setup process, patiently answering all our questions and ensuring everything was configured perfectly for what is a very complex payroll. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and deep knowledge of the software made the transition smooth and stress-free. They went above and beyond to ensure our team was comfortable with every feature, and their hands-on approach truly made a difference. Even though we are in the early stages of implementation, I would highly recommend Ciphr to any business looking to modernise their payroll operations, especially their support team—they are 1 of the reasons our implementation was such a success\! ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/91617/ciphr?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/91617/ciphr) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
