Bob Erfahrungen

Vorteile

It's very easy to use - user friendly interface, intuitive navigation, you can find whatever you need in the matter of seconds even if it's your first experience with the platform
It's beautiful - our employees love it too
The support team is amazing - they not only resolve any issues quickly, but they also listen to suggestions and implement them within reasonable time. I love getting product updates as I know that there will be something I asked about.
The system features everything you'd want from a modern HRIS and even more - we love club feature and about section - it helps employees learn more about each other and find common interests.
There's some functions that I'd love to have but they are not yet there (such as pre-boarding or e-signature) but the guys are constantly working on them and I've seen that for example e-signature is coming within next few weeks.

Nachteile

If we are talking about bob as HRIS there's very few things that I don't like, or rather I would like to have and they are not yet there - prebording being one example.
I'd love performance module to be more sophisticated but the guys have just introduced it and I see that it gets updated constantly, which is great. also, it's not a separate platform for performance management so I wouldn't expect it have all the features that other platforms dedicted to performance only have.
There are other small things (such as I can't send a survey to 1 person only), but they are small compared to all the benefits and again, I know that sooner or later those will be resolved too.

Vorteile

More than just an HRIS, it's a place for employee engagement. Great personalized homepage to keep people updated. Easy to use and to set up. You can keep a pulse on the culture with ease. They are constantly improving product and takes feedback from clients and they keep you informed. They also work with you to ensure that the product is meeting your needs and help you find ways to better utilize it. It's easy to implement new items and grows with the company well. We were able to globalize our Org chart and better integrate the global teams.

Nachteile

Currently, there is no way to have a site admin vs a total admin. This is an issue if you want a HR lead at each site to be able to customize the program without access to their counterpart's private information. Also, employee's do not have the ability to opt in or out for their birthday or work anniversary being shared. There are work arounds but right out of the box, it's either all employees show up or none show up on the homepage.

BambooHR und Workday HCM

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

We wanted an HRM to feel like a hoodie, not a suit and tie

Vorteile

great user and admin experienceDEIB focus with pronouns and demographic fieldsmass loading possible super quick implementationautomation of tasks and workflows

Automations don't always workSupport is patchy and relies too much on users being able to solve the problem themselvesA lot of workarounds are necessary to overcome Bob's limitations

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Personio

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

Quick implementation, onboarding & pre boarding workflows were suitable based on our needs, the UI is intuitive

Vorteile

Bob is a solid HRIS system that can manage HR processes effectively. The system is user-friendly and easy to navigate, making it accessible to all employees. Its time tracking feature is highly efficient and helps to streamline the payroll process. Moreover, the feedback tracking feature is solid.

Nachteile

Bob's performance management leave much to be desired. Additionally, Bob's lack of support for useful competency frameworks is a major weakness. Without a strong foundation in this area, employees may struggle to develop the skills and knowledge necessary to excel in their roles.

Vorteile

I love the UX and especially the customer support team, both in Israel and in NY.

Nachteile

Sometimes features aren't available for different employees and it takes time to talk to the HR manager to allow some permissions.

Vorteile

I really like the social media style communication on the profile page, this has brought our teams together so well across all locations.

Nachteile

Some of the dashboards could be adapted to show more of a breakdown. For example time off by reason, not just by month.

Sage HR

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

More modern than Sage which fits our people better.

Vorteile

Easy to use for both admins and users, modern design, data management

Nachteile

I'd like to be able to upload many photos in the documents section

Vorteile

Flexibility, customisable, intuitive, user-friendly, real-time people changes, reporting etc. The list is long

Nachteile

Integration with Netsuiote Infinite Cloud and conducting salary review via Bob using Package was hard

Vorteile

Implementing Bob has had a significant positive impact on the workload of the HR team allowing us to spend more time on value add activities and far less on routine admin. This was achieved by automation of workflows and tasks through the entire employee lifecycle. Employee information is visible to managers, employees and selected departments (i.e Compliance) reducing the number of routine queries directed to HR.

Nachteile

It would be helpful if employees who are on garden leave could still access the system until their termination date. Access is removed based on their last day of work but they are still employed and need access to documents. Esign saves time in that documents are automatically added to the employees record when completed but the process of uploading, then making the document active followed by a third step to assign to the employee is clunky especially when sending multiple document to the same person.

Vorteile

I think ALL. Is the best tool to keep your employees database with all the HR needs. It's contain all the needs and functionalities. I did not try the payroll system. But I wish I could develop it sooner than later.

Nachteile

Nothing. I think is the best tool available in the market.

Vorteile

Bob is intuitive, easy to use and gets ahead with all its features. It's not only an employee data management software, it's a one-stop-shop for all-things-employee lifecycle (performance, surveys, compensation, org charting, reporting, etc.). Employees love to use it because it provides value to them outside of simply storing their data with things like shout-outs, company announcements, clubs, interests, demographics, etc. It's also very beautiful to look at!

Nachteile

Hard to pick something to dislike. I will say that sometimes it takes longer to hear back from chat support. I wish they had an implementation team or person to work with you to set the tech up appropriately according to your use case. The implementation is very self-lead, and for someone that is maybe the only person in their department, this can be overwhelming if you can't find the time to dedicate to it. Other than that, I'm very happy with the software and each team member I've had the pleasure of chatting to has been more than helpful and lovely.

Vorteile

Using Bob for onboarding, goal setting, and performance management have streamlined a lot of our bulky processes. We look forward to moving forward using more of the product soon.

Nachteile

I wish the integration of HR data would be a little easier or that we could have help now that we are ready to start that part even though we have been using Bob for other things for a while.

Vorteile

Employee-data management with modern API´s and much functions connected to engagement and employeer branding.

The employee is in focus, not the admin department.

Nachteile

The product is still developing. It is a pro and a con at the same time. We missed some features in the beginning but new functions are built all the time.

Sympa

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

The focus on employee and the modern tech.

Vorteile

I like how easy BOB is to use, how easy it is to contact someone at BOB if I have any troubles with the system. The look and feel works so well for our type of work place and BOB have helped us roll out the platform so effortlessly. I'm always finding out new things on BOB and I find the weekly emails from the BOB team explaining whenever something has been added helps us to discover more.

Nachteile

As a new piece of software there are some things that haven't yet been built. Although saying this the BOB team are always on hand if we want anything specifically added to fit our companies needs. We had slight trouble in the beginning with the calendar view and it not working in the way we have previously been used too. We spoke with the BOB software developers and they were able to help us fix this by creating a brand new calendar view which fitted with our needs.

Vorteile

The Support Team is extremely helpful. The user interface is user-friendly; you can easily navigate the system without training.With automated flows and task lists, onboarding and offboarding, as well as other processes, are made simple.

Nachteile

We are unable to obtain a monthly headcount report. There is no filter to remove those who had left the company but were still active each month.

Vorteile

It`s dynamic, it`s catchy (beautiful UI) and the product is constantly improving!

Nachteile

the functionalities that represent learning and development, training area, talent management and succession planning are currently missing

Vorteile

So easy to use, has an app, it is visually appealing and has so many features. The customer support is fab, you get answers to queries so quickly

Nachteile

The performance review tool is a bit complicated and lacks customisation

BambooHR

Warum Bob gewählt wurde

Personio lacked a lot of features that Bob offers. It was also not straightforward and didn't look great

Vorteile

Simple App with high value to end user. The ability to customise tasks, flow, etc. is great.

Nachteile

Can be better integrated to some of the widely used ERP like Pronto

Vorteile

Very easy to use which is a must-have when such tool needs to be used by every employee in a company. The Slack integration makes requesting (and approving) time-off very simple, just a few seconds and it's done. Bob API is also very well documented which is a big plus for my job!

Nachteile

Can't think of anything that I really dislike with bob! To be picky I could say that having to login in two steps (first entering the email and validating, and then entering the password and validating) is not the most user-friendly way to login and I'd be happy to only have one step for that part.

Vorteile

Simple and intuitive to use with all the necessary fields

Nachteile

Add work scheduling tool so that we can create links between absence management and workforce planning

Vorteile

We have a small People team and Bob has picked up all the admin which. in itself, is amazing. It's given us robust onboarding processes, better reporting than we've ever had and we haven't had to train anyone how to use it.

Nachteile

Some standard letter templates would be AMAZING - one click for employee details on a blank letterhead would make my life easier.
Looking forward to more review/appraisal functionality - I know it's coming and I know we will use it.

Vorteile

I like that Bob easily integrated with other softwares and contains many of the tools necessary for a HR department

Nachteile

I think the reporting and analytics section could be improved

Vorteile

bob has an exciting and fun employee message board, a lot like facebook for work! It is also is incredibly inclusive and allows a wide variety of gender options.

Nachteile

The user interface on the employee end can be a little hard to navigate at first, but with a bit of playing and exploration it becomes intuitive.
