Featured Reviews

Valda Coelho - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhancing HR engagement with effective development but could benefit from AI-driven improvements
The primary feature I appreciate about the solution is the information connection, allowing us to have a full employee life cycle visibility over the platforms. It also enables the creation of interactions between employees, launching communication campaigns that raise engagement. From the HR side, the most valuable features are the Learning Management Systems (LMS) that allow providing a personalized service in terms of development, where each employee can choose and architect their development plans. The second valuable feature is the autonomy each employee has to update their personal data. In terms of talent management, it helps design development processes, backups, and clearly view the criteria for those backups being achieved.

Enables users to share curated content and helps schedule the best time to post content
The solution helped us get a fairly good footprint in our channel. It makes it very easy for many of us who have a lot of contacts in the channel. We can share curated content from the team on our social channels. It makes it easy. I could select what I want to share and choose the best time for it to be posted there, and it will. The product makes it very easy for many people dealing with different parts of our channel to push our content out to people in it. It works pretty well. There may be other capabilities that I do not know about. The solution works fine for my use cases. It's easy. It's not time-consuming. It takes 15 minutes to go through it. The solution uses AI to help schedule the best time for things to post to get the most reads and likes. It is pretty effective.
