An affordable and easy-to-use product that is really intuitive and is one of the most stable applicant tracking systems
The product is easy to use. It's really intuitive. The things are laid out well. The search function seems to be better than other products. When I search for a name, some of the applicant tracking systems struggle to find the name, and I have to keep spelling out the entire name. Greenhouse has a better search function than other products and finds candidates quicker. I haven’t had issues with bugs. I have noticed other products freezing up or acting weird for some reason. However, Greenhouse is a solid solution. It has a really nice layout that tells us about upcoming events.

Provide performance management and HR operations but lacks AI capabilities
Using PeopleStrong, uploading modules, and downloading reports was very easy. The process was hassle-free and user-friendly. We use PeopleStrong for performance management and HR operations, such as storing data and handling documentation when a new person joins the company. For learning and…

It's so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system
Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. And documentation is available. Ramco doesn't charge much when customers request custom KPI calculations and other custom features. Workday and SAP impose a high charge. Ramco's bots are excellent, whereas Workday doesn't have an automated system and is only now developing a mobile app.

Pros

"I think the ease of use is one of the most valuable features."
"Greenhouse has a better search function than other products and finds candidates quicker."
"It provides very good flexibility to create filters. Therefore, I can look at candidates' progress across different stages. I can also follow candidates to get updates about where they are in the cycle."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"It is priced low."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"It is a good product, and it is suitable for different client requirements. It has customization options and flexibility. You can customize a report or configure the workflow based on your requirements. Everything is there in the product, and you can customize it as per your requirement. Our clients found the automation of the payroll, leave attendance, and onboarding modules the most valuable. The Time and Attendance module is fully integrated with this solution and supports multiple data entry modes, such as barcode, biometric device, fingerprints, and face reading. Its core HR module includes features like movement, expense management, exit, and separation. The compensation and benefits module includes features like welfare, retirement, and superannuation. It also has analytical tools. You can create a real-time report based on your requirements. You can also publish that report in different formats, such as Excel, PDF, HTML, etc. It has a chatbot feature, which is using machine learning and natural language. You can ask questions about your leave balance, attendance, or things like that, and you will get an immediate reply from the chatbot. It also supports approval through email."
"Ramco HCM stands out due to its reliability and up-to-date compliance with legal, statutory, and regulatory requirements."
"In general, the solution is very flexible and can be configured in multiple ways."
"The performance management system is really good."
"Once we implemented this solution, it was customizable for our needs and this has been the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Payroll processing is very easy. SQL rules can be attached to any pay elements."
"Ramco is user-friendly. The UA is excellent and so easy to use that a customer can easily understand the process with zero knowledge of the system. We can easily walk a new user through the user guide. For each ESS MSS, I can log in to the ESS access. and documentation is available."
"Ramco HCM is a stable system that doesn't have downtime or fluctuation issues. It can also take large volumes and scale up very fast."
 

Cons

"Probably the biggest issue with Greenhouse is that the scheduling portion isn't very strong or smart."
"If we have to schedule multiple interviews in Greenhouse, we will have to schedule them individually."
"There are dashboards that I can see, but for pending things that I have to look at, it should provide alerts. For example, if there are 10 new people who are added to the job that I'm involved with, it should provide me with a chart or notification so that I am prompted to look at it. Currently, I have to go and look at the dashboard. There should be a little bit of intelligence to prompt action."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"The global scalability and support could improve."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
"The entire UI/UX of the solution can be improved drastically."
"The mobile app for this solution could be improved as it lacks many features."
"One area for improvement in Ramco HCM is its UI, which could be more intuitive. Another area for improvement in the system is that it can be challenging to make some modular-based changes to it."
"The mobile app and web page user experience could be more user friendly."
"The product itself sometimes feels inconsistent because it comes with bugs."
"Ramco could be a bit faster and offer more use cases. A prime aim is to get analytics and this is lacking in Ramco. This lack of reporting is one of the reasons we are moving away from using Ramco."
"The talent management and performance appraisal modules could use some improvement."
"They can improve the configuration time because it takes more time than other products to configure the system. It could be because they are managing this single product for all countries, but it would be good if they improve the implementation time because we need to implement the solutions within a timeline. They should provide some kind of auto-configuration so that the system can be configured and implemented within a certain timeline. Implementors should have a provision to configure the system in a short time. There should also be an option to move the setup or configuration from staging to production to save time. These types of automation should be there."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The one thing I didn't like, and what caused me to move from Greenhouse, was that they wanted to bump us up almost 20% over what the previous cost was."
"The tool is pretty affordable for startups and medium-level companies."
"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"It's very reasonably priced. It is paid per employee."
"I am not aware of the price because I was working in the implementation team, but pricing is generally based on the requirement, modules, headcount, and country."
"This solution is priced in the middle compared to other solutions on the market."
"Their customized solution is pretty expensive but much cheaper than its competitors."
