A great product with dozens of features for free.
amogamaxApril 26, 2012
Pros
OrangeHRM solves the often daunting task of managing all aspects of employees/staff and does so without the usual steep learning curve associated with many HRM tools. Standout Features Easy installation/administration Personal information module Employee self-service module Report generation Leave module Time/attendance module Benefits module Recruitment module
Cons
Two versions available 1. Free/open source and self hosted. 2. Paid version hosted in secured OrangeHRM cloud. People tend to confuse these two platforms
Summary
OrangeHRM is quickly becoming the de facto standard for open source human resource management tools (With over 400 downloads per day). No matter the size of your business, your human resources department could easily benefit from an OrangeHRM installation.

Pros
Interesting possibilities
Cons
Feature limited - encourages you to purchase 'modules' for more functionality.
Summary
Like an inkjet printer - the original incentive looks good but in the long haul will nail you for other features/extras.
OrangeHRM is very good HRIS Solution. Great tools

ninja660September 8, 2009
Pros
Nice to see small HRM program that doesn't take acres of disk space.
Cons
If you visit their website, it claims 30 days free of hosted service - this is not free because more than likely you need to subscribe to other services inorder to keep the software running. Be careful.
Summary
Great. FREE, easy and complete. Perfect to SMEs

Pros
Free, Easy to install and use. Perfect for small and middle size companies. Complete with Admin module, Reports, Recruitment Module, Personal Information Management Time Track and Benefits Module.
Cons
Should be perfect if the software offered Performance Module. But seems they offer customization and it can be added.
Summary
The software seems to be great. I did not experienced any problem so far. Most of the features works and fit the majority needs of Small and Middle size companies. Because of the price (free), features and performance I would say is the best HR Software currently available. Updated on Apr 7, 2009. . .
