Everyone is happy with FocalReview!

We used to use a huge spreadsheet. Obviously, this is much better. It allowed the managers to go in and adjust comp and bonus info without asking us to parse out their sections of the data. Overall, this worked extremely well.

PROS

FocalReview was easy to use and everyone was happy with it. The thing I liked most was the responsiveness of the support team. They were amazing.

CONS

I'm sure there are things that can be improved, but I can't think of any right now.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the glowing review. It was an honor to work with such professional team at Intermedia. With our latest release 9 we look forward to showing you a few new features for your next pay review cycle. Appreciate your support. Julie

The best investment we have made for our Total Rewards Team & Employees

FocalReview has made our annual compensation and bonus planning so much easier for all users.We no longer need to keep awful spreadsheets - the tool does it all!

PROS

easy to use, quality UX, easy integration with our HRIS/Payroll system

CONS

At times I need to ask the SpiraLinks team for assistance as I occasionally forget the navigation path and or steps to some Admin areas/tasks

Reason for choosing FocalReview

We believed this to be the most visually appealing and provided more offerings than the other products we reviewed

Vendor Response

Thank you Darcy - you rock! Appreciate the kind words - the Team and I thank you. Julie

Excellent Customer Service

Overall, the experience was good. The customer service is top notch and I think that adds so much value. The system is very easy to use for the employees.

PROS

Their customer service is fantastic! I think the end user functionality is easy to use. It is a clean design and has a lot of features and items that can be customized.

CONS

To be fair, we had a tight deadline to roll out the product so I don't think we have learned how to manage the system ourselves very well. In that regard, the system is not very intuitave or easy to use.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your input, especially references to "top notch" customer service. We will endeavor to address the items above.

FocalReview Tool Feedback

Not only is the FocalReview tool flexible and allows the company to add new functionalities, but the team as a whole is listens, is open to new ideas and willing to develop the functionality!

PROS

It's flexibility to build additional features as the business grows and additional forms of recognition are added. This year introduced flexibility in changing the target variable. Last year considered adding equity grants and Total Rewards Statement. Delayed as both were not approved by the Board.

CONS

Some reporting that can be used to audit company data submitted. Suggest a simple report writing capability so don't rely too much on technical support. Also, it would help if there are available online "how to" guide/resources.

Reason for choosing FocalReview

Used it in another company and contributed to its initial product.

Vendor Response

Thank you Teresa. We appreciate the kudos and ideas for our product road map! Julie

FocalReview for Ardonagh

Very positive - extremely helpful and pleasant staff, and very collaborative not only during implementation but also during BAU usage.

PROS

Implementation was very flexible - the software can really be whatever the business wants it to be.The ongoing support during the pay review and bonus process from [sensitive content hidden] is second to none.

CONS

Potentially a few more "off the shelf" dashboard type graphs - but given how unique each client's interface will presumably be I can see that this is not easy.

Vendor Response

Thank you Alex for your review and suggestions for next cycle. We hope to work with you on refining FocalReview to suite your team even better. Regards, Julie
