Director Of Information Technology

We solved several problems eliminated manual rekeying of the payroll hours and expense reports. Improved the quality of the data by having the employees enter their own information. Improved the timeliness of when payroll processing takes place. Better documented workflows. Improved employee satisfaction.

Pros

The client community finds it very easy to use and learned the system very quickly. The setup is very straight forward and payroll finds it flexible to use.

Cons

We have used the system for 3 plus years and I really do not have any CONS to speak of.

Datastrong's Review

Pros

I like how easy this product is to use by someone who isn't as "technical" as most. I love that there is always someone from customer service around to help me out.

Cons

It's more expensive that other tools we looked at, which is why we only utilize for timesheets, time off and expenses.

It's great for those not tech savy

Nothing but positivity

Pros

I like how easy it is to use. Everything is laid out great, almost as if it was designed for dummys. I can see exactly what I'm doing

Cons

There really isn't much I don't like. We use it for very basic stuff such as time keeping and job keeping

Good tool, if you aren't a power user

The people are great, but you need project managers who actually manage projects properly to help in the development of the tool that is primarily a tool to manage projects. Sure its a time card entry system, but for what? Managing projects and the hours against them.

Pros

Gen 2 was good. Gen 3....challenging. Good effort, but missing the mark for real project managers and managers of time entry data.

Cons

I am challenged by this product as of late. We integrate MS project to Replicon, but to change dates and update tasks takes an additional interface (RIA) once you reload your updated MS project schedule. Additionally when you reload the new schedule to update task availability, the incorrect task information is loaded so you have to use the RIA tool to fix it. Now the RIA tool has issues also. I have spent the better part of a year trying to help troubleshoot this tool with date formatting issues, configuration of your Replicon system to properly accept your entries. only to reload the RIA interface tool and have the formatting/syntax changed to something completely unknown. Tech support is very friendly and eager to help, but software developers don't know what they don't manage or use. Explanations can take several interface calls, emails and machine takeover interactions. I am getting to the point where this is more trouble than it's worth or maybe I just need something more powerful. There is also some customization, but again it is limited since project managers need different views and the ability to manipulate data, the way it's presented and overall presentation to the team. Column widths are not adjustable so a column with a single or two digit number might be 30 points wide and a text box containing a long task description might be 15 points across.

Great Management Software for Timekeeping

Replicon allows us to manage and effectively process payroll for a very diverse organization with teams of people dedicated to health and wellness, natural resources, fisheries and administration. These different focuses of time and energy require dynamic real-time access to time keeping and reporting. Replicon has been a go to for us for many years, and we are delighted with continued development and improvements this company invests in their software.

Pros

Transparency for staff as all timesheet changes / adjustments / approvals and rejections are accompanied with a notification to the employee so they are alerted to take action. This notification flow alerts supervisors to take action as well.

Cons

Reporting is very flexible, but the learning curve is a bit steep.
