Bad - Horrible UI/UX that you will pay for over and over again
Reviewed on 2017-03-07T18:55:34
Lot of issues here that I want to point out with this software:
1) This software does not do corrective actions or Performance Improvement Plans,they try to tell you that it does in the sales presentations, but this software does not do it. They will tell you about a work around, but it is so complex and contrived that your managers will never use it, I promise.
2) We were trying to get the software to allow us to do a 6 month check-in, so essentially our managers would be able to meet with our employees halfway to their annual review and check in to see how they were coming along, not to be rated, but just a checkup to see how things were going. Sounds easy, right? Well, you'd be wrong on that too, and so was I. They launched into a super complex work around, which again was way more complex than any of my managers would ever need or be able to use.
3) Whenever I first looked at signing up to use this software, I liked the seemingly easy and simple to use interface that I had seen on demos and on videos on youtube. I thought, well, it's just about loading in positions and job data, then I should be off and running with this system. Well, their estimate for getting setup is typically at least 3 months, that should tell you something. I thought that they would just be doing a lot of hand holding, turns out that what they were really doing is making up for a poor UI and UX in their system. It is next to impossible to anticipate where to go, what to click, etc. They try to make up for it with their training, but it just seemed to frustrate me more that they wouldn't fix the clear weaknesses and complexness of their interface to suit the customer. They would rather spend an hour training you on how to do something super complex, and oh, by the way, if you mention to them that something is complex, unnecessary, or just plain not intuitive, instead of take the feedback, they actually get defensive and back up their reasoning for doing whatever they are doing in a totally illogical and contrived way. They need to take a page from Google and Apple and go back to the drawing board with their system and design something from the ground up that is EASY TO USE.
4) Scoring for employees is extremely complex and contrived, just ask them to show it to you in the sales process, you will see
5) There is this wonderful background jobs pop-up that pops up every time that you do ANYTHING in the application, I'm serious. You have to dismiss it manually every time, it is ridiculous, unnecessary, and very annoying.
6) There is no simple way to have them tie any type of notes or issues with an employee back to a part of their job description that it is supposed to match. Which, is really the basis of why you are keeping records for corrective actions, notices, etc, to protect yourself from an employee if you have to terminate for performance based reasons/issues.
7) If you have employees who don't sit at a desk or have their own computer, this system is not for you. It does not offer you a way to accommodate those employees. Again, they will talk about a “solution” or “work around”, but again, don't be fooled, they have no solution here either.
In the end, I think that I felt like how I feel like with Quickbooks Online, they have their sales people and their presentations down to a science, almost like magicians when they show it to you, quickly moving you away from the pain points of the system and the mind-numbing redundancy that just wears on you with a badly designed software application. But you don't realize how bad it is until you really start digging into it, as the months set in, there wasn't one huge dealbreaker or issue with their application, I was just left with a system that had tons of flaws, until it amounted to an application that I was done trying to understand and one that was so complex, I just couldn't bring myself to try and make my employees or managers use it.
Oh, by the way, I have a bachelor's degree in Computer Science, have coded for years and still couldn't understand why someone would design an application like this, still confuses me to this day.

The system works well for our annual evals. As an administrator we can see exactly where someone is in the process.It allows for lots of customization. Sometimes because of that it is slightly difficult to find issues - however support is very helpful.
