Any questions or issues are addressed quickly and thoroughly, which makes day-to-day use a smooth experience. > > **Cons**: The system is missing some functionality compared to more robust HRIS platforms. Certain features you'd expect from a full-featured system are either absent or underdeveloped, which can be a limitation for more complex needs. > > Overall, CommonOffice HRIS offers great value for the price. The support team is responsive and helpful, and the core functionality covers the essentials well. That said, the platform lacks some of the advanced features found in more comprehensive systems. For organizations looking for a cost-effective solution with solid support, it delivers a strong bang for your buck. ----- ### "Great Software company with amazing price" — 5.0/5 > **Sam** | *6 May 2026* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I’ve been using CommonOffice to manage my company of 100 nurses, and I cannot recommend their payroll and timesheet software enough. Managing a healthcare staff of this size comes with a lot of complexity, but this system handles it with ease. It is incredibly advanced and customizable, allowing us to tailor every aspect of the payroll process to fit our specific workflow rather than forcing us into a one-size-fits-all box. Beyond the daily operations, their performance review module and ATS (Applicant Tracking System) have been absolute game-changers for us. The ATS is amazing for streamlining our hiring process, and the performance review tools are both intuitive and highly effective. It is clear that this is a sophisticated, high-performance platform designed to grow with a business, no matter how specific its needs might be. What truly sets CommonOffice apart, however, is their incredible service. The team is remarkably responsive and they actually listen to our feedback. They worked very hard alongside us to customize the system to our exact specifications, ensuring every detail was perfect. It’s rare to find a software partner that is this dedicated to their clients' success, and their commitment to support has made all the difference for our team. > > **Cons**: There is very little to dislike, but if I had to name one thing, it would be the lack of a dedicated finance or accounting module. We enjoy the HR and payroll interface so much that we’d love to have our full financial suite integrated there as well. However, we recognize that accounting is a different specialty, and it doesn't take away from the excellence of their HRIS tools. > > Our overall experience with CommonOffice HRIS has been exceptional, primarily because of the platform's incredible flexibility. Managing a staff of 100 nurses involves unique scheduling and payroll challenges, and CommonOffice is the first system we’ve found that is advanced enough to handle that complexity. It doesn't just offer a standard template; the software is truly customizable, allowing us to build a workflow that fits our specific operational needs perfectly. The technical depth of the suite is a major asset for any growing organization. We utilize everything from the robust payroll and timesheet management to the performance review modules and the ATS. The Applicant Tracking System, in particular, has streamlined our hiring significantly. Having all of these high-performance tools integrated into one "all-in-one" system has improved our efficiency and ensured that our data remains accurate across the board. What really cements our relationship with CommonOffice, however, is their world-class service. They are incredibly responsive and have worked very hard alongside us to ensure the system was customized to our exact requirements. They actually listen to our feedback and implement solutions quickly. It feels less like a software subscription and more like a dedicated partnership where the team is genuinely invested in our company's success. ----- ### "Great HR Tool" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *31 January 2019* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to set up users, and has plenty of areas to add additional information if you would like. The availability to customize the information that fits my company is great as well. Every company I different and it nice to have a software that can be more flexible. > > **Cons**: Sometimes knowing which screen to go to for different information can be a hassle, but overall not bad enough to deter me from use. > > CommonOffice has some of the best customer service available. Timely with return calls and emails. Quick to fix problems, and often identify items that may be an issue for future use before user does. This HRIS system does exactly what we need it to do for our company. ----- ### "Recommended Payroll & HR Program" — 5.0/5 > **Sean** | *20 March 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The support is incredible. Not only are they available during the implementation but I can literally call them anytime and they always respond > > **Cons**: I have not encountered an issue with the program yet. If there was an area I would suggest for future development, it would center around interconnection between modules (i.e. Human Resources and Payroll) > > Excellent. Common Office is a powerful tool if you spend the time to understand the program. We are using it now for our HR, payroll and project costing of payroll. ----- ### "CommonOffice - better than Workday & ADP, much cheaper" — 5.0/5 > **Bea** | *19 January 2022* | Computer Games | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The team does all the work for you in a very short amount of time, with customization and great customer service. And the price was cheaper than anything out there. And the workflows are just like Workday but much easier to set up\! > > **Cons**: Can't think of anything. Our people love it, and it's really easy to use. > > From demos to implementation to customer service, we have kept interacting with the same person / people, so it's easy to communicate and make sure we get what we need. I've been very impressed with their response times, too. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/5125/commonoffice?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/5125/commonoffice) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
