Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Cezanne HR earns consistent praise from users across all review accounts.
Users consistently highlight the intuitive design and ease of use, even for those new to HR software. The system's breadth stands out—employees praise the ability to store diverse information, manage absence requests, track documents, and monitor Bradford factors within a single platform. Reporting is flagged as a particular strength, described as straightforward compared to competitors. Mobile apps for iOS and Android extend access beyond the office, and the cloud-based setup supports flexible working.
The support experience receives repeated emphasis; users describe the team as helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly throughout implementation and ongoing use. Cost is mentioned as a key differentiator, with reviewers noting the pricing model works well for smaller organizations and avoids hidden fees. The system's contribution to reducing administrative burden and moving toward paperless operations is noted across multiple reviews.
No criticisms appear in these six reviews. All are five-star ratings with no mention of limitations, integration challenges, or areas for improvement. This uniformly positive feedback should be weighed against the small sample size and potential selection bias inherent in voluntary review platforms.

“We love Cezanne HR and our CEO does too! It's…”
We love Cezanne HR and our CEO does too! It's dashboard's, it's wide ranging functionality, and it's ability to store such a wide range of information has impressed us. Reporting which can be a challenge with some systems is so easy to use. The employee self service is very good for managing absence and employee data. Document tracking and Bradford Factor monitoring are just two of the great new features that we are using to help us. I can't praise the support team and the tools they provide within the knowledge base enough. They are so helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. One of the best HR systems I've used!

“I have been delighted with our new Cezanne system. We…”
I have been delighted with our new Cezanne system. We had literally no HR software system previously, neither had I ever used one before! Cezanne was simple to use even for a novice like me! On rolling the system out to staff, the feedback was the same, they were impressed every time. The staff at Cezanne were fantastic and made the whole daunting process so much easier - I cannot praise them highly enough. The reason we chose Cezanne in the first place was as a relatively small company the cost option worked well for us, and I have no regrets having now installed and used the system. Thank you Cezanne, my job is easier already!

Villages Housing Association Limited“We sought a system to replace our paper files and…”
We sought a system to replace our paper files and various Excel spreadsheets. It had to be secure, affordable, easy to use and beneficial to both the company and our staff. Villages Housing has been using Cezanne since mid January 2014. We have all our 95 staff details on the system. Staff request leave and managers approve or decline the request in a seamless process - and HR are alerted to any requests awaiting attention for too long. Managers get a daily email to let them know who is off today. Staff and managers have access to Android and Apple apps – to see / request leave or see who’s off today, even when they are out of the office. When I work between offices or from home, I can access Cezanne from the Internet. Staff can easily submit changes to address, telephone numbers, emergency contacts, bank details etc. for approval. Very soon we will manage our staff appraisals and record our training needs and activities on Cezanne. Until I contacted Cezanne, the cost of accessing suitable HR systems was proving prohibitive with high upfront fees and additional costs. Value for money is essential in all organisations and we needed to avoid hidden charges and extra ‘Development Days’ which can be extremely expensive. I questioned the cost at every stage of the procurement process and the answer at every stage was – ‘No – that’s included.’ Jo must have thought me very cynical indeed! Cezanne charges a very reasonable standard rate per employee per month. That’s it. I have used the Help Desk and numerous Webinar meetings whenever I needed help – and no extra costs were incurred. What’s more, every person I have spoken with at Cezanne has been the consummate professional; responsive, helpful and friendly – and nothing is too much trouble. They have a suggestions page where customers are encouraged to submit ideas to enhance the system - and other users can support the ideas. It is an exceptionally intuitive system for the Administrator and the staff really like using it too. Implemented with Cezanne’s help, it needed virtually no input from our IT team. When you start with nothing – the whole implementation process can seem daunting. But it is just fear of the unknown really. Indeed, the process itself has had numerous benefits. You need to think through your policies and procedures to remove all ambiguity. Cezanne has brought clarity, discipline and consistency to absence management. Holiday entitlement is calculated automatically using our entitlement rules, contracted hours, and start dates and even those pesky Bank Holiday entitlements for part timers are now automatically calculated – once we had set up our entitlement criteria. Adjustments can be made easily too. If there is data in a field I can extract it to a spreadsheet. Each time I get a request for data - I save my report so that next time it will take just a matter of seconds. You can pin down who in your company can see what and send alerts to groups of users or named people. I really enjoy using Cezanne – it makes life easier for the whole company: Responding to staff enquiries regarding holiday entitlement is a thing of the past - they can see for themselves. Helping staff complete Tenders and Board reports with HR data is easy. Our Newsletter lets customers know of the new members of staff who have joined us - it take just a few seconds to find their details. When is a first aid certificate due to expire? Who’s got keys to the office? Someone is leaving – what skills and responsibilities will we miss? Who's celebrating a birthday or reaching a service milestone?… None of these is easy if your data is buried in a filing cabinet or on a spreadsheet somewhere. With Cezanne it is all there at my fingertips and I get a real buzz out of being able to respond positively, accurately and quickly. Oh - and so far - I have not experienced any system 'down time'. All in all I'm feeling pretty chuffed with our decision.

Grassy Creek“I can honestly say I have never seen or worked…”
I can honestly say I have never seen or worked with a better, more comprehensive HR platform. I love the fact that it's 'in the cloud' so that access can be from anywhere, not just at the office or wherever the company's server is available. The possibilities are endless, but that never results in that daunting feeling other platforms can give you. It's very straightforward, sleek and organised, so that you never feel overwhelmed or are at a loss where to find what information. For the employees themselves (I'm writing this review as the company's overall HR admin), it's very user-friendly. I think we're only using less than half of what Cezanne can do - we now have many employees in there (with everything from addresses to salaries to hiring docs to photos to inventory items), absence administration if fully operational and we've just done our first round of completely digitalised but still user-friendly performance reviews. Many things are customisable, but again, not in that frustrating "I want a new camera but I'm at a loss because there's too much choice to know which way to go" way. The best thing about Cezanne is their support team - they're wonderful, friendly, quick and knowledgable (and everything you ask stays logged for you and them to see, so that instantly becomes a great source of information).
