Great Platform - Has both Pros & Cons

Great platform, and easy to use once you become familiar with the system.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Overall this is a great platform. One thing I like most is being able to manage/maintain certain information in house. For example, auto system generated emails for new hire onboarding, Admin notifications for pending benefit enrollments or tasks to be completed. Another great feature is the ability to download certain data in an Excel format instead of just pdf. This is helpful when we have large amounts of data to review, and need to customize more than standard system reports will allow.

Cons:

I would have to say limited report customization and limited support. With reporting, we can't always filter for the information we need, so we have to manually modify the report results. This can be time consuming for reports we generate regularly. For example, being able to filter out terminated employees from a specific report or download. Regarding support, our account managers are wonderful and knowledgeable, but there have been times the Account Manager may not be familiar with certain parts of the platform. For example, if our Account Manager is an expert at payroll, they may not be able to assist in depth with Time & Attendance related issues.

Pros:

I like that most screens can be downloaded as a report, and the ability to customize some of the modules like Performance Management to fit our needs

Cons:

Reporting is difficult for novice end users, and the layout of the site for HCM and Time Management could be more intuitive. Also wish there were more searching features on dropdown type fields.

Reasons for switching to PeopleGuru HCM

Due to our industry we were no longer able to use our old HRIS and Payroll vendor

Using new software takes time to get used to, but their customer service is great and helpful.

Less time spending for processing payroll. Any other HR management and employee record keeping in one software and I don't need to use different software or spreadsheet.

Functionality

Pros:

So much easier to process payroll with file upload that I used to enter hours manually. I also like all the reports I can get in different format as well as I can create customized reports.

Cons:

You cannot go back to add or change time off request once the week passed. Also, when employees submit multiple days of time off and later, when they change the plan and cancel one of the day, it would get cancelled all days they submitted at the same time.
