    Without a doubt, we have loved this software because of how easy it is to use and how useful it has been for us. We have been able to supervise communications between employees, customers, and suppliers, monitoring that our rules and policies are met at all scales, improving performance and productivity at work.

    Employee Navigator
    We are very pleased with the change to [Employee Navigator] as it offers more what we needed. It's very customizable and has many features that can be added or taken away depending on business needs. I'd only say it would be less appropriate for a business quite smaller than ours who needed very little in comparison.

    Employee Navigator
    • Time off requests. These are easy to perform and track as an employee and user.
    • Time off approvals. Couldn't be easier. Time of approvals or denials are sent via email and are one-click tasks. Also can be performed in the web UI, but it's so easy.
    • Manager reporting. Managers can easily see reports on employee time off and make decisions based on that.

    Employee Navigator
    • It is a great stand alone product. We would like it to tie into a more robust HR solution and communicate with payroll.
    • Initially there are a lot of features that are turned off, I like to know what a program is capable of so I can be more strategic in implementing a solution.
    • Having a broker in the middle is both good and bad.

    Support Rating
    HigherGround, Inc.
    Not only has the customer support for Calibre been great, but the community surrounding it is great too. Users are ready and willing to jump in to help you solve a particular issue you're encountering with Calibre. As a result, I've expanded what we do with Calibre quite a bit through community support of its plugin infrastructure.

    Employee Navigator
    So far, we have had very little reason to call in to Employee Navigator support. Our team who works with them have found it easy and simple to work with them when needed. They aren't able to work on much or divulge how the system works internally, nor what's on the roadmap, but it is still helpful to have timely confirmation.

    Calibre, like Acrobat, offers the user the ability to be able to view a digital ebook whether from online or off-line. But Acrobat can only open PDF files. Calibre can open & convert multiple digital file formats.

    Employee Navigator
    Most of the systems I've used for HRIS systems have been part of the payroll system. What stands out with Employee Navigator is the ability to key your benefit changes into one place, and all vendors are notified of the updates -- no more logging on to three or more sites to make an address change to an employee.

    Employee Navigator
    • We spent about half the time on open enrollment than we did in the last two years. Employee Navigator was much easier for staff to navigate and be able to complete their open enrollment independently
    • We've saved several thousand dollars in setup fees to link with insurance carriers since moving to Employee Navigator
