Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable features are the reporting and benefits piece.""In my day-to-day work, attendance tracking would be most important. That's because I have a really diverse group of employees, and I have a subset of younger folks who are struggling with their attendance. So, that's the thing that I'm most involved with currently.""It is a scalable solution.""The most valuable feature to me is performance management because we just started using that.""The way that ADP helped us improve our organization is by making the payroll process clean and efficient because if you make a mistake there, you're in big trouble.""The platform is on a private cloud that is fully secure with no way for hacker penetration."

"The solution that we used previously was very complex. As a result, without referring to the manuals and consulting an expert, it was difficult for a newly hired employee to navigate the platform. However, this is not the case with Darwinbox. It has a very intuitive user interface, and anyone can use it and implement it without having to use a guide or a walk through process. It's very simple.""In our company, we use DarwinBox to maintain the data of our employees and for recruitment purposes.""The most valuable features of the solution are organogram and position-based mapping."

Cons
"When I'm not working with the implementation team and I'm just talking to customer service or something, they're just not a lot of help. They don't understand how it works. They'll tell you to do something that I know would affect something else. So, it's less about the software and more about just training their folks to a higher level.""The report functionality is not as good as competitive products.""Its benefits portal could be user-friendly.""The ease of developing and creating reports could definitely use some improvement.""I would like to see the payroll side improved and there are a few kinks that need to be worked out."

"DarwinBox is not a stable solution...DarwinBox is not a scalable solution.""Like most software, it has a base version, the vanilla, out-of-the-box version, and customization is required to match it to the unique processes of each company. The Darwinbox team seems to be having difficulty with the customization process. They have to be a little more mature to customize it as per every company's need.""The solution's API integration with third-party applications should be improved."
