The Number One HR Solution on Salesforce

HR Software Comparison

How to Compare HR Software

The criteria that matter when choosing HR software for a mid-size company or group, and a neutral overview of common vendors, including flair.

What to Look for

Modules and Scope

Which processes need to be covered: core HR, time tracking, absences, recruiting, performance, payroll?

Payroll and Integrations

Does the software connect to your payroll provider (e.g. DATEV) and the tools your team already uses?

Several Entities and Countries

Can you manage several legal entities, locations and countries with separate access rights?

Access Control and Data Protection

How fine-grained are permissions, and where and how is HR data stored and protected?

Pricing Model and Contract Terms

Per employee or per module? Minimum term, setup fees and paid add-ons belong in every comparison.

Implementation and Support

Who migrates your data, how long does the rollout take, and who supports you afterwards?

Frequently Asked Questions

There is no single best HR software. The right choice depends on your company size, the processes you want to cover, your payroll setup, whether you run several legal entities and which systems the software needs to work with. Compare vendors against your own requirements and ask for a demo with your real use cases.

Most vendors charge per employee per month, often split into modules or add-on apps. Personio, for example, publishes starting prices on its website. Also ask about minimum contract terms, one-time setup fees and paid add-ons. flair is priced in flexible, user-based modules; you get an individual quote.

flair is built natively on Salesforce. HR data is stored on Salesforce, protected by Salesforce security, and can be combined with other data in your Salesforce org for reporting. Companies without Salesforce can use flair too: we set up a Salesforce instance through which they access flair.

We begin with an initial consultation to understand your data import needs. Our experts then securely transfer your employee data, validate its accuracy and completeness, and integrate it into flair. Our team also helps set up the system and provides ongoing support.
