Recruiting and human resources is a good use for this tool. To some degree, reporting is fairly appropriate as well, unless you want super detailed reports, then I would say no. Anything related to managing candidate flow and making the recruitment process easier is where this tool is best used, upgrades need to be made so it's more useful in other areas before rolling out.

I think some of my problems with Talentsoft aren't so much the fault of the software as it is how my company is organized. I have to enter many different property levels so that a review gets created, I'm not certain that these fields are required by Talentsoft or by my corporate office. This software is not suited for companies where a segment of the employees do not have a company email address and/or access to a company computer

Pros
Cegid Talent
- The commands and controls are fairly user friendly. This is a positive because as recruiters we don't want to waste time having to learn odd or awkward controls, we just want to intuitively click.
- The original implementation process was fairly seamless according to industry standards. This made for a smoother rollout, testing, and implementation phase. We didn't waste too much time with overly complicated technical issues, etc.

- Having the reviews in Talentsoft makes it much easier for one person to manage the entire process from start to finish.
- When an employee switches managers during the year, the delegation feature makes it very easy to have the previous manager add their input to the employees review.
- Being able to have a daily import file from our HR system into Talentsoft helps in having the information in Talentsoft be current.

Cons
Cegid Talent
- The reporting function needs to be vastly improved. You can run the most basic reports, but if you want to get more granular it requires customization, extra fees, and involving a developer. This piece should be made easier.
- The lag time between load screens, clicking new screens, etc. was very slow at times. We don't believe this was a connectivity issue, rather something on Technomedia's end.

- I would like to have access edit and update the goal section throughout the year, not just during the review period.
- The reporting function is very cumbersome and needs to have easier ways to create custom reports.
- Streamline the create a review template process.
- Email notification for employees to let their manager know when they have completed entering information in Talentsoft.

Technomedia stacks up below the other listed programs. It may solve the bare minimum of your issues, but when it comes to solving more complex issues and processes, it lacks. When you want to add additions or customize things, the process is very costly and labor intensive as well. If it were priced lower, it would make more sense, but there are much better solutions out there.

I think SuccessFactors is more flexible to customer needs when creating review templates and allowing access to goals year round. They also track changes for the goals. Talentsoft was selected by our corporate office before I started with the company.

- The positive impact of being able to manage candidates and help the overall recruiting process has been great.
- The addition of new users or customizing other features has proved cumbersome, expensive, and requires additional resources.
