DATIS, Part of the ContinuumCloud vs. Proliant

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.

I recommend Proliant based on the customizable aspects and customer service of the team. Their teams are incredibly easy to work with and the system is on par with even the most expensive payroll and HRIS systems on the market. I highly recommend Proliant for fellow restaurant industry colleagues for ease of use and price point.

• Position management
• Payroll solutions
• Open Enrollment/benefits management

• Some of the help for the training modules, [...] has been fantastic
• [...] has also been really helpful
• Adding a new employee to the system has been relatively easy and simple to do

Incentivized

• 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

Incentivized

• I cannot get RPO to be changed to how it needs to be for our business needs (when T&L employees move to salaried, for example). I have had several meetings regarding this and it still is not fixed -- more than a year later
• Slow response from employee.helpdesk@proliant.com often leads me to send messages to payroll administrator for response
• I believe we are paying for some added services; I do not know what these services are and I've asked on several occasions to have someone contact me about this.

Proliant is pretty easy to maneuver and get used to. There are some things than can be tedious but nothing too difficult where you have to spend hours to get it to work. The payroll processing is pretty straightforward and that's the core reason why we use their software.

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.

The system as a whole is very similar in a lot of ways to what we demoed with Paycom and what we used with ADP. I would say that payroll is significantly simpler with Proliant than it was with ADP. Having a designated account manager and point of contact was a main selling point for us with choosing Proliant over our other options and while that has proved to be an asset, we do wish there was a general customer support line for quick questions like we had with ADP.

Incentivized

• DATIS has allowed us to spend less time on payroll processing and accounting of payroll
• Better grant management allowing us to minimize the risk of unclaimed revenue

Incentivized

• The payroll clerk is able to pre-process payruns so that she doesn't need a backup on days she is out of the office
• Have eliminated an internal need for someone to handle payroll tax and compliance filings
• EDI feeds with benefits providers have elminated the need to manually update benefits providers with each employee change
