Pros
CatalystOne gives you great freedom to make changes yourself, making it possible to customise HR processes to your own needs. It offers fast support and a community platform where you can find information and inspiration for what you want to create or develop in the system.
CatalystOne has recently given their interface a facelift, bringing the design into the 21st century. This reflects a broader effort over the past year to significantly strengthen product development—not only in terms of aesthetics, but also functionality. We highly value this continuous development.
In addition, their support team is very responsive, with most requests either resolved or at least initiated within 1–2 working days. This level of service is greatly appreciated.
The system meets a wide range of HR needs (recruitment, onboarding, staff management, time and absence tracking, performance reviews/annual appraisals, etc.). For us, absence tracking has been a huge benefit thanks to HR-ON.
The support team are very friendly and always helpful.
HR-ON meets our need for reliable HR data and a really great TA solution, which has exactly the features we need to carry out effective recruitment. It’s easy to manage access in Staff, and it’s easy to get new managers to understand both Staff and Recruit. Support is easy to access, and you can really feel the human touch behind it.

Cons
As a larger organisation, you may find that CatalystOne in some cases appears to have been originally developed with smaller companies in mind. Several modules are tied to certain standard roles that don't always match the needs of a larger organisation.
In addition, there are limited opportunities to work with "if" logic in workflows for onboarding, internal changes and offboarding. Overall, the workflow functionality has significant development potential - even though it works satisfactorily today.
Some functionalities and modules are not fully optimized. For example, the absence module is not particularly well suited for the Danish market, which can create occasional challenges for us.
Similarly, the Salary Review module lacks flexibility for companies with commercial bonus structures, limiting its usability in that area.
There are many different configuration options, which in many ways is a very good thing, as it allows you to tailor the system to your business’s needs. Sometimes, however, this can also be a drawback, as you may end up spending a lot of time trying to find exactly where a minor adjustment needs to be made.
I can’t think of anything we’re missing.
