Efalia HR ECM vs Sense HR

Efalia HR ECM centralizes and manages employee documents from onboarding through offboarding. It supports configurable workflows, digital signatures, document classification and granular access rights. Employees can use a secure personal space to access payslips, contracts and certificates at any time. Search features include multiple criteria, favorites, saved searches and recently viewed items. The system can apply electronic archiving rules by document type and alert users before legal retention deadlines. Efalia names Sopra HR, Silae, Cegid, Sage HR and Office 365 as integrations; synchronization can run both ways through open APIs. Access can be logged and partitioned, including for medical and disciplinary data, and changes are recorded. Deployment choices include Efalia SaaS hosting and on-premise installation using a maintained Virtual Appliance; its SaaS offer relies in part on OVH infrastructure in France. Efalia says each application receives an independent penetration test at least yearly, and automated regression and security tests run with each major release. Pricing is on request and varies by company size, storage, users and selected features.

Sense HR combines HR administration, recruitment, and time tracking for entire workforces, including staff without desks or company laptops. Core tools cover employee records, documents and e-signatures, holidays and absence, and onboarding, alongside more than 100 workflows and automations. Its applicant-tracking system supports vacancy publishing, application tracking, candidate screening and ranking, shortlists, and hiring. Staff can clock in through the mobile app, Sense Clock hardware, or biometric methods, while managers check timesheets before payroll. The iOS and Android employee app is included on every plan and supports clock-in, leave requests, payslips, onboarding, and document signing. Sense HR lists more than 50 connectors, three native payroll integrations, and an open API with webhooks; named connections include Sage Payroll, Xero, Brightpay, Microsoft 365, Slack, Google Calendar, Microsoft Teams, and Hireful. The maker says it holds ISO 27001:2022 certification, hosts live data in Microsoft Azure UK South, and keeps geo-redundant UK backups. Pricing starts at £2/user/mo, with a 14-day trial requiring no card.
