Find out in this report how the two Benefits Administration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We use this solution for our end to end HR needs from onboarding and hiring to learning."
"I like the fact that the annual days are calculated automatically and that if annual leave is taken in the future, those days are put on hold. You know at every point how many days of annual leave are you left with and how many are on hold."
"The scalability of BambooHR is good."
"The performance goals and personal features of every employee with the dashboard is most valuable."
"The most valuable features are that we can upload documents and download them on demand."
"IBM Kenexa is fairly stable. We don't have any downtime."
"It is extremely user friendly. It is very flexible in managing recruitment, especially when you have thousands of applicants as we did. We easily had over 20,000 applicants within a year for some of our positions, so it made it very easy to manage a large application pool. It was very easy to customize by recruiter preference. When you open up someone's profile to see their experience, education, or other things, you can customize that for yourself. It was flexible in that, and each recruiter could set up their preferences. It didn't have to be set up so that everyone had to have the same landing platform, which was very helpful. As someone who trained other HR people on how to use the system, it was very easy to pick up and learn."
"The valuable features of Oracle HCM Cloud are the frequent updates, if there are any discrepancies, we consult with our record directly and they come up with the solution for the betterment of the cloud."
"We have 35,000 employees in our organization, so we consider the solution to be scalable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle HCM Cloud is the dashboards, customization, and configuration."
"It has good navigation, and it is user friendly and secure. Every three months, there is an upgrade, and it has new features."
"All the features are good."
"The solution is very good at building out a roadmap based on client needs and feedback."
"I like that it is mobile responsive and you can work directly with the vendor on specific requirements that you might have."
"Offers a good balanced scorecard capability."
"In the BambooHR performance management annual evaluations we have some limits to the questions. We can only add four extra questions, and they already have three basic questions, this is not easy for us. We would like to have more flexibility with the questions."
"It would be useful to have the possibility to assign a task to the different users within the software."
"BambooHR could be improved by managing leave in a way that transfers remaining days at the end of the annual year to the following year."
"The color palettes could be changed to make the solution a little more attractive and easier to use."
"The reporting tool is helpful, but it is not the easiest to train on or is not as understandable for other HR pros. Their Workbench site, which is the administrator site that you use to update your website, is not user-friendly. When updates are required, it is not that easy to manage because Workbench is not user friendly. It required more work from the admins. They have Workbench training, which actually was very unhelpful. It took eight hours to complete, and it was not very helpful. Their customer service when it comes specifically to their Workbench site is not helpful."
"I would like to have a better and more user-friendly interface."
"I would not recommend IBM Kenexa to others."
"The interface could be more user friendly."
"I believe what could be improved is the EX portion of Oracle HCM Cloud and how it can more easily integrate with other tools."
"Occasionally there are problems with stability."
"The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration."
"The absence management can use some improvement. Due to all the flexible working, the part with work schedules could be a little bit more flexible."
"It's not so easy to customize as it's cloud-based."
"The performance and reaction time can be improved."
"The support from Oracle HCM Cloud is great, they are responsive and helpful. However, they still could improve."
