Sprout Reviews

Our company uses Sprout for HR and payroll purposes. We can easily view our documents, file for leaves, and see our payslips. The easy access that it provides is very convinient and helped us in getting the information we need real time.

Login issues is one of the primary error we are encountering, it doesn't accept known password, and it takes time to reset the password.

The first time I used this software was at the start of 2021, and I remember finding it a little difficult to navigate where the time-in button was because the "time card" button had an arrow, it felt like it contained settings or options for the time card. I was expecting the immediate clock-in to be as quick as one button/toggle. I struggled missing a few days because I had not clicked on "Yes" after the pop-up box of "Are you sure you want to log in?". I honestly felt like there were too many prompts to get to finish my simple daily objective. Now that I'm tenured, it's muscle-memory at this point but I still believe there could be faster ways to clock-in and -out (eg. toggle/one-click clock-in button aided with colors like green for timed-in and gray for timed-out. No need to add "Are you sure?", especially if the purpose is for daily use, it's kinda a no-brainer so if you plan on doing that mayhaps provide that prompt for a specific duration (eg. timing in 2-3 hours earlier than usual or timing-out earlier than required).

I also really liked the reminders of anniversaries on the lefthand side of the screen. It makes me know a little bit about my teammates / co-workers.

No multiple selection actions especially for unattended requests. You have to go through a series of clicks to be able to delete a request, same with other intended actions. I think what I like least about this software are the additional/unnecessary popups. Try trusting the recall of your daily users and try testing with immediate actions on straight-forward icons (eg. "x" means delete, but of course that needs a "are you sure" dialog box; maybe an image of a gray clock could mean "you're still not timed-in" or "you've clocked out" where you don't need too many prompts to remind the user about since it's a daily thing.)

This is one of the leading HR and payroll software company in the Philippines. The product preface looks friendly and is a direct and easy click for the users. It's a helpful tool to keep track of employees information where one could upload and download documents related to ones employment - an easy file. It could also be set-up to sync the shift-timings and the biologs of an employee which is also related to the payroll system. It serves as an in-depth manager dashboard for tracking attendance, approving leaves and monitoring leave credits as well as the tenureship of an employee.

There are a number of times that I needed to contact our HR Business Partner as the normal "reset password" won't work. This is time consuming especially on critical days of timesheet checking and submissions as well as checking on the credited payout for the month. One of the technical glitches is that it sometimes does not record the time-in where logs are not synced. Our team is set to work on the Pacific hours and assigning right shift timings is a bit challenging with our management team.

Attendance Tracking, Leave Management, Payroll Processing, are just few of functionalities that Sprout does best. Ease of use is ensured, all while ensuring that security for both the company and employee is in place.

Allowing the system to further categorize entries such as Leaves, Overtimes can go a long way for a company to make use of the available data from its employees.

I like that I have the capability to log in via my phone and PC. IT gives me the ease of making sure that I will not be late for office, specially I am working WFH.

Some inconsisencies whenever the app is down or on maintainance. But it normally goes back to the original state. Like missing leave credits or biologs. The usual biologs are not being detected as well and needds to file COA.

Before pandemic, everything was thru offline and it was quite hard when it comes to transitioning, however with sprout, everything was easy and manageable. We can apply leaves, official business and other employee related things in just a click away and this is what is very important for people - accessible and user friendly.

To be honest, there's no bad or least favorite that I have in this software. As I said, it is very user friendly.

It's versatile. If you're on the go, you can download the mobile app. If you rather have your phone just for personal stuff, you can just browse with ease through the portal. Also, it's nice to see that they constantly
upgrade their app to accommodate other features which are only available through the browser portal.

There are times when the attendance feature lags, but nonetheless, everything's good.

Good customer support. Features for data building and changes are easy to use.

Some features are lacking which are basically should be present to most payroll and hris system. Hard to integrate to any reporting software.

It stores information needed for payroll and timekeeping. Gives necessary and relevant data for a certain employee.

It doesn't have any customer support to assist our needs in terms of trouble logging in and Password reset.

Easy to use, if there are any issues - can manage it right away, and very user-friendly!

none so far.................................

It is packed with useful features like leave and attendance tracking, online 201 file management, employee data bulk upload, and asset tracking. The leave tracking is very useful in our workplace. It is integrated with email and the direct manager can easily approve or reject it. Leave data can be extracted in an Excel file. The access levels are also customizable which is very useful in maintaining confidentiality.

Creating a new employee profile and bulk upload function sometimes do not work. There is no calendar view or summary to see who is out of the office or who has filed a leave.

Automation for payroll and database is the most important that is why we subscribe to Sprout.

Our company recently had a parallel testing of sprout. At first, we are not okay with it. New system means new adjustment. However, as time goes along, you will know the value of this system. Good thing about this software is that it gives you avenue to communicate with Human Resources. You can get the information that you need real time. You can view documents, file leaves, check your payroll, download payslips, check daily log ins, and etc. in just one software.

Where having issues with logins, some biometrics where not detected and we need to file it on resolution center every single instances. I think this eats too much of our time.

User-friendly, Easy tracking and filing of schedules, leaves and schedule changes, tracking of how many leave we have, tracking if our Team Leader has approved our manual time keeping and I can access it anytime.

I hope there's an option to personalise the colour of the software.

What I like most about this software is that the product can also be downloaded via the app store or play store. So you will be able to use it anywhere as long as you have data.

What I least like about the software is the updates where sometimes you have a hard time logging in

easy to use and easy filing of leave. It gives us a clear view on the leaves being used and remaining as well as giving a reminder when you forget to log or file a leave

sometimes your logs gets changed without notice leaving you getting unpaid

i'd say it's pretty straightforward enough which means it's user-friendly. i didn't exactly need a tutorial to navigate the site.

just the overall look. i wish the interface looks more pleasing to the eyes which could boost user engagement

user-friendly, simple ways and methods on filing leaves, and schedule adjustments

none. So far, I dont see any thing in the software that I least like.

Leave credits are displayed, payroll summary is clear, clock in/out.

sometimes the system is down, slowness in loading

What I appreciate best about the software is how simple it is to use, and how simply I can track my attendance and view my pay slip.

Whenever the system is down and I'm having trouble signing out.

I really love sprout because it is easy to use and they provide material to know how to use it lastly very user-friendly tool.

Honestly, nothing. I really love this product compared with other tools like Kronos and Au software. This is for me perfect!

tracks time and leaves as well as applications for certificates of attendance

the latest update is more confusing. requires the user to refresh the page for the login/logout to be shown in the page

It's easy to use and it's just a couple of clicks to log in/out. It's easy to see the attendance overview and payslips.

There were a couple of times when downtime wasn't communicated clearly.

See the payslip
attendance time in time out

set overtime in COA
the maximum time to log-out is 1159pm after that there's no count in overtime
we conduct schedule adjustment then COA

Easy to use and navigate. I can track my attendance and paylip without any issues. The TOOL also seldom goes down.

The resolution center has changed. It usec to show if I have no logs (time in or out)for a specific day. Now I have to click on this tool so I can see my missing logs.
