Where itris is strong

  • UK data residency on Microsoft Azure in ISO 27001 data centres, with UK GDPR compliance stated.
  • A UK-based live service desk; the vendor reports 98% of customers rating support excellent.
  • Perm, temp, contract and RPO workflows with shift management, placements and timesheets, and a marketplace of 150+ integrations and partners.

Where we are built differently

  • Agreements run from 12 to 36 months and onboarding takes six to twelve weeks. Ours is monthly or annual, with an import you run in an afternoon.
  • There is no published price; ours is on the page, per seat, with a trial on your own data.
  • Contractor pay and payroll run through partners such as Merit. Our self-bill and client invoice are on the desk.

AI-native or bolted on

Where the AI sits

AI Job Match, generated job specs and summaries, native to the new itris X, on a system with 12 to 36 month terms and a 6 to 12 week onboarding. Kit works from the day the import lands: it ranks the book with evidence, keeps the records current from calls and email, drafts the outreach and the chase-ups in your voice, and runs the contract desk to the self-bill.

When itris is the right choice

If you want a UK vendor with UK data residency and a service desk you can phone, and you run temp shifts alongside perm. itris has done this job since 1998, and that experience shows.

What itris users say they would change

From public reviews and itris’s own stated scope, sourced below.

  • A very thin independent review base: one review on Capterra and two on G2.
  • 'There is more features than we need and can be overwhelming' (Capterra); a vendor-hosted testimonial names the Outlook-dependent email integration as the shortfall.
  • No published pricing, minimum 12-month agreements, six to twelve week onboarding, and contractor payroll through partners.

Questions

Does itris publish its pricing?
No: not published: 'licensed per user, monthly', 'flexible agreements from 12 to 36 months and beyond', quote on request. Vayora: every price on the page.
Does itris run contract pay and bill?
Partly native: temp and contract features include shift management, placements, timesheets and compliance; contractor payments and tax compliance through payroll partners (Merit, QuickBooks listed); self-billing, invoicing and margin not described. Vayora runs it natively, to the self-bill and the client invoice; the pay and bill glossary entry explains the terms.
How long does moving from itris to Vayora take?
An import rather than a project on our side. On itris's side, its own guidance: 'Onboarding typically takes between 6 and 12 weeks'; migration priced by data volume, system and format; fees not published.
30 DAYS OF PRO. NO CARD.
