Frustrating support and difficult customization prevent optimal use of learning system
Customizing the home screen was difficult; I could not remove certain tabs that were irrelevant to our users. The search functionality is poor as there's no way for administrators to tag keywords to training courses, making it hard for people to find content. Additionally, there is no way to send a direct link to training if someone asks about it. The reporting is subpar; you can only report by course and not by person unless you go into specific Dayforce reports, which do not match the fields in the learning module. The support is also terrible, with slow response times and a lack of useful knowledge-based articles.

Integrates with various tools with flexible pricing model and easy setup
We conduct quarterly reviews throughout the year, using the system to manage the entire performance cycle. Employees and managers provide feedback, and one-on-one meetings can be scheduled directly through the platform. The system handles all records and notifications, syncing with Google Calendar and providing meeting preparation tools. Employees only need to complete their reviews, while the system takes care of the rest. After the reviews, we receive insights from all departments and regions, helping us analyze performance trends. HiBob can be configured to support hybrid and remote work, but its effectiveness will depend on how well it aligns with your company's needs and setup. While the system allows for customization, including features like tracking birthdays and anniversaries, its usefulness for remote work will vary. Compliance issues, such as GDPR, will also play a role in deciding which features to use. Ultimately, the value of these tools will depend on your company's specific requirements and location. HiBob requires one person for maintenance, though additional admins can be assigned as needed. The system offers various modules, such as the talent model, compensation hub, analytics hub, and hiring model, which may be utilized depending on your company's needs. For a company of around 200 employees, one person is typically sufficient for maintenance, but a second person might be needed if the company grows to around 250 employees. Overall, I rate the solution an eight-point five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is easy."
"Ceridian Dayforce HCM is a stable product."
"Configuring your HR policies and rules is straightforward."
"The solution's payroll portion is very streamlined."

Cons

"I would like the solution to improve its customer service communication."
"I would also like to see some improvement in standard reports. A standard report should be available to pull the required information for Affirmative Action Plans. I do not think I should have to build or create one."
"The reporting could be improved."
"Many things are presented as though they will be included with the system but then require costly upgrades."
"Management and reporting of the GL costing could be improved."
"I would like to continue to see improvements in the Recruiting module. I would like to see this module interact with Calendars, such as Outlook, etc."
"It would be nice if retro pay calculations were made automatically for salaried payroll, so a calculation and manual entry do not have to be done."
"The solution's dashboards and geofencing could be improved."
"HiBob isn't as user-friendly for managing contractors, part-time employees, or consultants."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Ceridian continually enhances Dayforce HCM. Some of these enhancements they charge for and some are just straight enhancements with no extra charge."
"The XOXO program associated with Dayforce allows you to earn credits towards registration and accommodations at their annual Insight Conferences, which can be a real savings to the company when sending employees to the conference."
"We found the setup costs and pricing to be very reasonable."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven on a scale where one is the lowest and ten is the most expensive."
"In terms of pricing, the product is expensive. However, it is crucial to take into account the manner in which the solution will be utilized and the availability of other alternatives."
"Earlier, the price of the product was reasonable. Under present circumstances, the price or cost of the product has been increased."
