Great all-around people management software

5.0 3 years ago

Pros:

bob team is extremely agile and receptive to feedback. New features are pushed frequently and we feel heard when talking to the client service.

Cons:

Most definitely the application's speed. It's sluggish, and the login takes forever.

Alternatives Considered: Zoho People, Namely, BambooHR, Sage HRMS, Workday HCM and Podio

Reasons for Switching to Bob: bob seemed to have the best balance between customizability and provided/fixed frameworks of people management.

Hibob makes people management easier

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Pros:

The Support Team is extremely helpful. The user interface is user-friendly; you can easily navigate the system without training.With automated flows and task lists, onboarding and offboarding, as well as other processes, are made simple.

Cons:

We are unable to obtain a monthly headcount report. There is no filter to remove those who had left the company but were still active each month.

Looks pretty but not an effective HRIS

1.0 last year

Comments: I inherited the system from my predecessor who was non HR. It looks pretty to the end user but on terms of functionality it is limited and feels totally detached from what HR professionals actually need

Pros:

There are very few positives I can draw on

Cons:

The software feels like it has been created in the absence of any HR feedback. Forms dont flow, modules arent effective (talent management for example is completely 2 dimensional and not aligned to any global talent frameworks), org planning is almost impossible.

A user-friendly, innovative and ever-developing HRIS with a few limitations

4.0 4 weeks ago New

Pros:

- flexible and adaptive to the current needs of the company- beautiful and friendly front end- calendars, sites are location-specific- dash board is great- flows, task lists, pre onboarding flow etc.

Cons:

- reports and filters are a bit complicated to set up.- sometimes not very intuitive- limited for surveys (conditions, dependencies, 2nd page, layout and format)- payroll section > Monthly salary could be automatically calculated if there is a change in the working hours- esign could be more formal and professional (the fields are super difficult to add and not

Bob - A robust tool for HR, employees and managers

5.0 4 months ago

Pros:

A great platform for an employee that has an information and tools to grow, develop and connect. It is just like any other social media account which is internal to an organization. It provides multiple features like goal settings, PTO tracking, employee information and many more

Cons:

No such cons as such. works like an internal social media of an organization
