    Our agency has a number of federal and private grants tied to personnel costs and allocations. DATIS e3 is extraordinary at allowing the end user to slice information as needed for complex reporting.

    UPDATE 3/20/2020: I initially gave HRDirect a "0" recommendation due to all the issues we had with the PTO Module. However, since purchasing the Harassment Training Module ($90), this product is the best value for the money and puts us in compliance with mandated requirements. It is easy to use and well-presented. At this point in time, with the issues and frustration level of all our employees, managers, and payroll department, it would be difficult for me to recommend this app as suitable in any scenario. However, should HRdirect fix the issues and get the app to perform as it was originally designed, it would be a great product for a small to medium company that has limited resources yet wants a good product for the money. In our experience, the new hire portal did not appear to be functioning properly; our new hires were not able to access the blank documents. They could see them but not open them (PDFs).

    Cons
    ContinuumCloud
    • Supervision documentation is difficult to use if the supervisor doesn’t adhere to the rigid schedule
    • Applicant site doesn’t automatically integrate with outside recruitment tools, so tracking of recruitment data is complicated.
    • DATIS has struggled with customer service support unless you have a dedicated contact

    • HRdirect performed an upgrade in 2019 and that's where things went awry.
    • You could no longer drill down through the calendar to see the details - i.e. Doctor's appointment, illness, childcare issues, vacation, etc.
    • Previous year PTO requests were not archived and you now had to scroll through hundreds of PTO requests to see the most current.
    • Previous PTO requests were listed oldest to most current, resulting in much frustration trying to locate specific ones.
    • The print option was not longer functional.
    • The online help request form was no longer accessible.

    Due to the fact that we were patient for more than 6 months with no resolution in sight, we decided to end our relationship with HRdirect for PTO tracking. 3/20/2020: We have purchased the Harassment Training Module. Excellent product with great value for the money.

    DATIS e3 is a different kind of system that may not be the solution for someone who is looking for an “off the shelf” solution. It is flexible and customizable to meet the specific needs of your organization. It is robust and thorough. They could benefit from spending money on a mobile solution.

    • Initially, HRdirect was proving to be an excellent tool, and we were getting a quick turnaround on small issues. However, the upgrade messed things up on our accessibility, with no resolution in sight.
    • Harassment training module is excellent.
