The short answer

DenwaysHR is a Bayzat alternative for UAE employers who want HR, attendance and WPS payroll on one record. It adds a free trial, a documented API, a Windows desktop tracker and DIFC DEWS per establishment. Bayzat also offers Saudi payroll, group health insurance and corporate cards, and has a released mobile app. Neither publishes prices.

We make DenwaysHR, so weigh this as the case for our own product and check Bayzat's column on the Bayzat pages listed below. DenwaysHR puts HR, attendance and UAE payroll on one employee record, and you can try it yourself before speaking to sales. Bayzat pairs HR and payroll with insurance and finance.

Why choose DenwaysHR over Bayzat?

Bayzat offers a guided tour; DenwaysHR lets you start a trial yourself, and adds a documented API, desk time tracking and DIFC DEWS.

  • Try it first: sign up for Basic Tracking or Basic Payroll, where Bayzat offers a guided tour
  • Build on it: a documented API from the Advance Tracking plan, where we found no public API documentation for Bayzat
  • Desk time as well as gate time: the Windows tracker detects idle time, and monitoring stops when the employee's timer stops
  • Run a DIFC entity and a mainland one in one account, with DIFC DEWS handled per establishment
  • Start with HR and add payroll when you are ready: the tracking plans run records, attendance and leave, and payroll joins the same record later
  • See everything before a call: 131 modules and 810 features are listed on our features page

Should you choose DenwaysHR or Bayzat?

Two questions settle most of it. Where does your payroll run? And do you want health insurance and cards from the same vendor?

  • Choose DenwaysHR if your payroll is in the UAE, your people check in at sites or work at desks you want to track, and you want to try the product before a sales call
  • Choose Bayzat if you need Saudi payroll or a native mobile app now, or want health insurance and corporate cards from your payroll vendor

What should you check before switching from Bayzat?

Benefits and Saudi payroll are the two things most likely to tie you to Bayzat, so start there.

  • Your benefits and cards: if group health insurance, prepaid corporate cards or employee loans run through Bayzat, decide where each one goes after the move
  • Your Saudi team: if Bayzat runs Saudi payroll for you, DenwaysHR cannot take that over yet; its Saudi HR, attendance and leave run today
  • Your phones: if staff use Bayzat's iOS or Android app, try check-in in a phone browser with them first, because the native DenwaysHR app is in development
  • Your seats: Bayzat bills per seat, so note the renewal date and notice period and how many seats you keep paying for while both systems run
  • Your data: ask Bayzat what you can export of employee records, kiosk and device attendance, documents and past payslips, and in what format

Then prove the first month. Run one payroll in Bayzat and DenwaysHR side by side with any employee loan deductions included, and compare every net figure. Have your bank check a test salary file, and confirm each attendance device. The migration page has the steps.
