Bob

Great all-around people management software

Pluspunten:

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

Minpunten:

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

Overwogen alternatieven: Zoho People, Namely, BambooHR, Workday HCM en Podio

Redenen om over te stappen op Bob: bob seemed to have the best balance between customizability and provided/fixed frameworks of people management.

Great for Growing Global Company

Opmerkingen: Our first implementation specialist was amazing. She provided excellent resources and followed up quickly. She was knowledgeable and helpful. Our account manager is also very good and she works with us monthly to help make sure that we're meeting our annual HR goals by reducing administrative workload in the system and allowing us more time to focus on the people of the organization.

Pluspunten:

More than just an HRIS, it's a place for employee engagement. Great personalized homepage to keep people updated. Easy to use and to set up. You can keep a pulse on the culture with ease. They are constantly improving product and takes feedback from clients and they keep you informed. They also work with you to ensure that the product is meeting your needs and help you find ways to better utilize it. It's easy to implement new items and grows with the company well. We were able to globalize our Org chart and better integrate the global teams.

Minpunten:

Currently, there is no way to have a site admin vs a total admin. This is an issue if you want a HR lead at each site to be able to customize the program without access to their counterpart's private information. Also, employee's do not have the ability to opt in or out for their birthday or work anniversary being shared. There are work arounds but right out of the box, it's either all employees show up or none show up on the homepage.

Overwogen alternatieven: UKG Ready, Zenefits, BambooHR en Ciphr

Redenen om voor Bob te kiezen: Needed to globalize our systems and find a system that could serve us as we grow.

Redenen om over te stappen op Bob: Had the features we needed and big on engagement.

Looks pretty but not an effective HRIS

Opmerkingen: 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

Pluspunten:

There are very few positives I can draw on

Minpunten:

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.

Bob can be a great friend, but you need to know him well first

Opmerkingen: Bob is our HRIS. Whether that’s our people themselves (being able to see all of their employment information in one place, being able to book a holiday and see when others have time off), our managers (getting a full view of their team’s details - salaries, job titles, locations in one place and seeing time off in full view in order to capacity plan accurately) or our People, Culture and Inclusion team (reporting, right to work checks, onboarding new folks, onboarding ourselves onto new systems and employment changes) - all of these things get simpler with Bob. We make a great use of the automation of tasks that Bob allows to build, from new joiners to leavers, from probation and onboarding to parental leave, we have created flows that automatically assign tasks to the relevant people, to make sure nothing is missed on important lifecycle phases of employees.

Pluspunten:

great user and admin experienceDEIB focus with pronouns and demographic fieldsmass loading possible super quick implementationautomation of tasks and workflows

Minpunten:

Automations don't always workSupport is patchy and relies too much on users being able to solve the problem themselvesA lot of workarounds are necessary to overcome Bob's limitations

Overwogen alternatieven: Personio

Redenen om over te stappen op Bob: Quick implementation, onboarding & pre boarding workflows were suitable based on our needs, the UI is intuitive

HiBob Review

Opmerkingen: I love this software and would recommend it to all companies looking to get a HRIS system in place.

Pluspunten:

I love the UX and especially the customer support team, both in Israel and in NY.

Minpunten:

Sometimes features aren't available for different employees and it takes time to talk to the HR manager to allow some permissions.
