Petra Valjak - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of People&Culture at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Unified HR platform has streamlined global hiring, reduced onboarding work, and improved reviews
There are some minor things that I am looking forward to seeing improved in Deel, such as employment types. For example, I hire a lot of interns and there isn't a specific employment type for intern. There are employment types for direct employee, contractor and similar, but nothing for interns. There is a way to work around it by saying an intern is actually a direct employee and then implementing a custom field, but it would be really good if there was a general field to recognize interns as a part of the workforce. That is something that comes to mind. I think there are still some things that Deel will improve over time and then I will be happy to give it a 10 out of 10. Given the fact that it is still a fairly new HRIS system, there are minor improvements that can be made from that perspective of purely admin work, for example, correcting data in the fields once you import them when changing a salary. If I input one salary incorrectly, I need to import another line. I cannot just correct the previous field, which some of the other HRIS systems allow. This way, on one hand I have full tracking of all the logs so I am not missing if someone corrected something or did any changes, but on the other hand, it also remains visible in the logs. Even if it is a small human error, there is no way to make it very well structured and polished when I am drawing, for example, a historical report of all the salary changes. Such things are minor improvements that I believe would come over time. Once those are implemented, it would be a 10 out of 10.

A cloud-oriented HRMS that needs to be more flexible and improve offline support
We use ZingHR as a human resource management system. It helps us manage recruitment, generate offer letters, and maintain employee database and attendance.  The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help.  ZingHR is…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Once that was accomplished, the best thing is knowing that Deel is a great company that is always looking for ways to fix and solve problems and is always thinking about the client."
"My advice for others looking into using Deel is to consider it if you need to streamline payroll; it's really straightforward."
"Now with Deel, we've cut down to just a few hiccups here and there, which we resolve before they become problems, and trusting Deel to do the work correctly is a game-changer because we check things, but we generally know that mistakes are quite rare, making it great to have that trust."
"Deel has positively impacted my organization by making it easy for me to run payroll and manage EOR employees."
"Deel has had a positive impact on my organization by providing noticeable time savings in the ability to establish myself abroad by making the operation almost painless in terms of time invested."
"Deel allowed us in its initial stage to be able to hire no matter where, and it also allowed some of our employees to be able to relocate."
"Deel is a brilliant global payroll platform that has everything needed for doing global payroll, reducing man-hours and the cost of employees spending their time on complicated payroll."
"Everybody loves Deel. It is easier for us to track timesheets of our contractors, and I have been receiving a lot of positive feedback from the contractors that Deel is pretty easy to navigate and very user-friendly for them."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
 

Cons

"The risk assessment process could be improved because, as a billing manager on a contractual agreement, I was flagged as high risk during onboarding, and it took several months to resolve with limited transparency and guidance on how to address the issue."
"Deel is a very big system and sometimes it becomes a bit too big."
"Deel needs to work on their customer service and reach out."
"Deel can be improved on costing, such as being more transparent from day one."
"In some countries, the support response time is limited and takes longer to reply to our tickets."
"For reporting, I would say that is the only thing I think Deel can be improved at."
"Regarding pricing, installation costs, and license management with Deel, I find that it is still expensive, but at the same time these are market prices, so I understand the logic."
"Deel can be improved as there are still quite a lot of bugs on the system, which I raise with my account manager."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
