Based on real customer reviews and G2 user feedback, here are the most common frustrations:
"77 mentions" of limited customization in customer reviews. Rigid default pipeline stages don't work well for complex workflows. Cannot customize certain job description prompts or interface elements. Less flexible than enterprise ATS platforms.
"Limited customization in reporting and pipeline features" — G2 reviews
"43 mentions" of disappointing reporting features. Limited compared to full HRIS platforms. Advanced analytics difficult on mobile. Can't build truly custom reports without exporting to Excel.
"Limited compared to full HRIS platforms...some features require extra subscriptions" — Customer review
"69 mentions" of missing features including: assessment tools, customizable email subject lines, skills categorization (must-have vs. nice-to-have), limited candidate rating flexibility. No dedicated CRM for talent pools.
Starting at $169-$679/month ($2,028-$8,148/year) based on employee count. Video interviews, texting, and assessments cost $59+ per month extra on Plus/Standard plans (included only in Premier). HRIS module adds ~$80/month. Annual commitment required.
"Can become expensive with add-ons" — Review
System can be "laggy" with occasional glitches. Google Calendar integration problems with complex multi-person scheduling. "Horrible customer service and plenty of bugs" noted in reviews.
