Custom reporting tool with field grabber, easy modules for recruitment and provides numerous options for integration
The complexity is the key challenge with a tool like ADP because it has all the bells and whistles and all the key features you can possibly think of. If it isn't there, there's always a third-party vendor you can integrate that way. But the only issue is that because it's complex, there needs to be some sort of system, at least on the back end, for the admins to understand what leads to what. We expect AI to improve multiple things with HR processes. The most obvious and common one would be the self-service function for employees, like a chatbot to help with FAQs. We are also building an AI tool that can possibly help managers make better talent management decisions. This tool will pull from the performance management tool, the talent profile, and the reports that we generally have to score employees across all different dimensions.

Centralizes HR workflows and has transformed how I manage performance and daily tasks
Regarding Keka Performance's AI capabilities, its accuracy and reliability of output are good. Time-to-time trainings have been provided by the Keka team, and Keka conducts big seminars that share updates to our HR, which are then conveyed to us. Keka Performance has positively impacted my organization because initially, we had a manual HR process through a very small platform, and after launching Keka to our company, it has been a very smooth process for us and the process has also been escalated. The process became smoother with Keka Performance mainly because I have saved time. Initially, the platform we used had many manual questions that needed to be written manually, and one-to-one meetings went for long. However, with objectives and performance metrics, and the answers given by the employee, it is very easy for us to manage the performance cycle along with our tasks. The part of Keka Performance cycle I find most valuable is that we add objectives to our performances, and equal weightage or respective weightage has been assigned to each objective, which can be updated on a daily or weekly basis. Performances are usually monitored by the end of the quarter, and I think that is the best part.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The platform is on a private cloud that is fully secure with no way for hacker penetration."
"The most valuable feature to me is performance management because we just started using that."
"Payroll: It is very easy and user-friendly."
"For small to mid-sized companies, Workforce Now is one of the better products on the market, clean with an easy interface that is simple to maneuver around, stable, and will continue to improve into the future."
"The product allows for accurate, consistent payrolls."
"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."
"It is hard to go wrong with choosing ADP as a solution for nearly any company."
"I love the integration of HR, payroll, tax filing, benefits, time and attendance, GL, ACA, employee/manager self-service, reporting and analytics."
"My advice for others looking into using Keka Performance is that if anyone is looking for a platform that has all the capabilities, whether it be performance, HR, or admin, Keka Performance is an all-in-one platform."
"The interface is good."
 

Cons

"Its benefits portal could be user-friendly."
"The workflow is a bit weak."
"The report functionality is not as good as competitive products."
"The complexity is the key challenge with a tool like ADP ."
"Their “new and improved” message center (where you get notifications and go to approve things like time off) is actually not as easy as it used to be."
"The Call Centre: The extension number takes too many digits to get through and the wait time is too long."
"ADP provides a quarterly Error Notification Report that allows you to check for compliance errors based on payments made to employees that quarter. The report only shows employees by their file #; however, the recent ADP upgrade has an "Archive" feature that makes it impossible to search for employees by file number so currently, there is no way to identify the employees listed on the report without calling ADP."
"Support leaves a lot to be desired."
"I think Keka Performance can be improved by adding a live chatbot to it, which would be useful when someone new is using Keka Performance."
"The solution must provide project or task management features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive."
"The solution is expensive and everyone complains about the price."

"I give the pricing a seven out of ten."
"I know some of what we're currently paying. Most customers would say it's too high, but I don't have a comparison to know that."
"It would be good if the product were cheaper."
