KrupaliMandavia - PeerSpot reviewer
Digital Marketing Team Lead at Ecosmob Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
Centralizes HR workflows and has transformed how I manage performance and daily tasks
Regarding Keka Performance's AI capabilities, its accuracy and reliability of output are good. Time-to-time trainings have been provided by the Keka team, and Keka conducts big seminars that share updates to our HR, which are then conveyed to us. Keka Performance has positively impacted my organization because initially, we had a manual HR process through a very small platform, and after launching Keka to our company, it has been a very smooth process for us and the process has also been escalated. The process became smoother with Keka Performance mainly because I have saved time. Initially, the platform we used had many manual questions that needed to be written manually, and one-to-one meetings went for long. However, with objectives and performance metrics, and the answers given by the employee, it is very easy for us to manage the performance cycle along with our tasks. The part of Keka Performance cycle I find most valuable is that we add objectives to our performances, and equal weightage or respective weightage has been assigned to each objective, which can be updated on a daily or weekly basis. Performances are usually monitored by the end of the quarter, and I think that is the best part.

HR Specialist with 201-500 employees
Has a comprehensive and intuitive knowledge base, and time saving payroll administration features
Paylocity is not great at communicating customer support related issues such as account manager changes. They claim to provide concierge level of support, but it has not been great. Some of the Paylocity systems are limited. For example, I can't create custom offer letters. I can create generic offer letters with a logo, but I can't edit them or create sections. It does not read like a MS Word document and needs to be more robust. At present, I can't send attachments, add hyperlinks to videos, or embed questions in videos. Also, the number of notifications regarding benefits needs to be increased so that new employees get reminders more than once.

Pros

"My advice for others looking into using Keka Performance is that if anyone is looking for a platform that has all the capabilities, whether it be performance, HR, or admin, Keka Performance is an all-in-one platform."
"The interface is good."
"My favorite feature is payroll administration, which has been awesome. You can import as many batches as you want to and run them synchronously or asynchronously. Since I work in a finance company with commissions, bonuses, and distribution, it's great to be able to do that. I can upload multiple things. Also, I can upload different sets of commission lists into the same payroll batch and upload the time card imports and overtime imports if I want to and separate them. I can create multiple batches around an individual or one one set of audit backing, and then I can approve them or leave them open. The way that Paylocity has set up their payroll system is really good and saves us a lot of time. It's very specific and helpful."
 

Cons

"I think Keka Performance can be improved by adding a live chatbot to it, which would be useful when someone new is using Keka Performance."
"The solution must provide project or task management features."
"Some of the Paylocity systems are limited. For example, I can't create custom offer letters. I can create generic offer letters with a logo, but I can't edit them or create sections. It does not read like a MS Word document and needs to be more robust."
