Considered Both Products
Deel
Chose Deel
Deel is simply better equipped to have a multi-country workforce with more integrations and in-platform modules to make it a one-stop shop HRIS.
Chose Deel
With very similar offerings, Deel's more mature system was clear. The communication from Deel staff was impressive, and during the demo, they knew what they were doing, navigated the system, demonstrated all its features, and answered questions. Deel's system, whilst having …
Chose Deel
We did not use any other solution before Deel. However, we have heard good things about Deel, and this is one of the reasons we decided to use Deel at the first stage.
Chose Deel
We haven't used any other platform before Deel. What I can say is that several of Deel's competitors have approached us to try and convince us to switch from Deel to them. This gave us the opportunity to explore other platforms whose interfaces, websites, and services weren't …
Chose Deel
Deel is quite similar to Remote and Rippling and is rather robust. Stronger than some other smaller options like Oyster and very fast growing in general.
Chose Deel
Previous positive experience, wide coverage, fast payroll processing, nice customer support and response time, all in one user-friendly platform
Chose Deel
Deel offers greater deals and helps us as well with the entity set up
Chose Deel
It is similar as to other HRIS I have used in the past but since it is easy to use and straight forward makes it hard for me to choose anything else.
Chose Deel
I only worked with them briefly but found Deel to be superior in almost every way. Deel's offers substantially more features and functionality for a global team with dynamic needs. However if we were only operating in Germany Personio would be a strong contender given its …
Chose Deel
We have switched from the previous provider for 2 main reasons: speed of payment and payment in local currency in different countries. But we have also seen a improvement in the overall software experience and security, we feel more safe now using Deel. The previous provider …
Chose Deel
We really liked Deel because it is an amazing all-in-one solution; and we haven’t found, used or evaluated one that could satisfy all of our needs at this level. Deel has local offices across the world and their knowledge of local legislature is really above what we previously …
Chose Deel
They have everything we need in one place, no need for multiple system. And their support. The people working at Deel are truly great.
Chose Deel
Deel had all the features we were looking for. Mainly, we needed a global payroll.
Deel has more options and rewards for using it. Payoneer maybe has some little hidden things that makes its product worse. Like sometimes the maintained fee for your account and card is a little hard to manage, and they bill you whenever they want. I feel that's awful because …
Chose Deel
This is my first time using this kind of app.
Chose Deel
Deel has been a game changer. It offers a simple and intuitive platform for signing compliant contracts, tracking hours, and receiving timely payments across borders. Compared to other software (Rippling) - Deel is better suited for independent contractors like me because it's …
Chose Deel
Deel was the best solution for our company size. It offered robust options for our diverse and unique work needs and was reliable and still affordable. We didn’t need all the suite of HE bells and whistles, and thus, it offered additional features without being too much for our …
Chose Deel
We moved from Globalization Partners (GP) to Deel because we needed an Employer of Record solution with a much more scalable pricing and service model. GP's platform is clunky - we often can't get the right access to what we need, employees have trouble finding what they need …
Chose Deel
Just not as experienced- Very similar offering but slightly behind how far ahead Deel were.
Chose Deel
I didn't review too many other platforms, but Deel stood out completely as it's globally compliant, automates contracts, and provides up to date withdrawal methods such as Coinbase.
HiBob
Chose HiBob
HiBob is solid, again for a 50 - 250 or so employer. I perfer ADP Workforce Now because it has more robust features, however, HiBob can house international employee's data, which is why we went with it
Chose HiBob
I don't remember the names of other similar products that I have used as I am not in HR so I don't work with it daily and didn't evaluate the products. But! I am in UX, and I can tell you that from that perspective, HiBob is really head and shoulders above the rest. If you are …
Chose HiBob
HiBob balances functionality, usability, pricing and client control to a much greater level than other systems. Enterprise systems such as SAP and Oracle offer greater functionality but at a much greater cost. Similar offerings from BambooHR, Dayforce and Workday are lacking in …
Chose HiBob
I am being repetitive, but it’s really high adaptability is what makes the difference.

Other system are not so customisable or flexible when it comes to generate data or create forms for instance.
Chose HiBob
We used Small Improvements for our 1-1s and annual reviews before using Hibob. It worked for us, but nothing beats one login for all of our people processes. Key efficiencies for the win!
Chose HiBob
mostly because of the user friendly it is. you or your employees can't get wrong. it is super intuitive.
has all the relevant data to manage your human source at the company
great support team, although I had some troubles when you can get your CSM over the phone when it is …
Chose HiBob
BambooHR is a great platform for small business but we found it wasn't conducive to our organization as we began to grow. While very user friendly, the Performance Management was limited and basic. HiBob has a better social platform where employees can be publicly recognized. …
Chose HiBob
I used this in my previous job and the system was internal so hard to say but completley different in the fact Hibob has a 'familiar' and friendlier feel - almost feels like a social media page and it is much more inviting for new employee and current. It also gives employees …
Chose HiBob
HIbob is customisable and fun and really personal which is great for us as a business as we like to keep our tone of voice throughout our communications. Deel is great for various uses but doesn't have the same customisable options. HIbob is also super user friendly. None of …
Chose HiBob
Hibob has more customizable performance management, employee surveys, and PTO cycles than most of the tools I've evaluated. Hibob also includes many features for one-on-one tracking, Slack integration, and employee engagement (Kudos/Accounements/Polls) that other platforms …
Chose HiBob
In comparison to SAP, Hibob stands out hugely because of its user-friendliness.
Chose HiBob
N/A, HiBob is the first HRIS I have used, but despite that, as a first-time Admin I find it very user-friendly.
Chose HiBob
I love Bamboo HR but according to me, it is suited more for small or medium size companies. Bamboo HR is less custom. The survey, compensation, and performance module are better on HiBob. However, maybe Hibob has this option but we don't use it in my current company, but …
Chose HiBob
Hibob was ultimately more flexible and offered a strong customer support network which is why we selected it over others. It's also well-priced and while not "cheap", it was more inexpensive than other larger systems. Their sales team was so supportive the entire time and as we …
Chose HiBob
We looked at multiple products that cover different areas of P&C. We liked that Hibob did the job of many platforms.
Chose HiBob
Hibob is much easier to use than Oracle Cloud. The UE is much better - from the look of the home page to finding where to book leave or set goals etc, it is much better. I would also say that it is better in that you can set up flows so you get automatic reminders for certain …
Chose HiBob
We used Breathe before and it had incredibly basic functionality. It's hard to compare because there's a big difference in price point - but no one interacted with Breathe and it was only used for tracking holidays.
Chose HiBob
Namely did not have connected modules, so it was difficult to manage data across the different sites. They didn't have a large suite of API connections. Workday required technical experts to code and manage everything, is not user-friendly, and did not have historical data …
Chose HiBob
Hibob has a lot more features than PeopleHR. Just missing the overtime and expenses calculation
Hibob is much more user friendly than our previous system, it is prettier, much more customisable and to be used similarly to a social media platform has really helped people engage …
Chose HiBob
Hibob is a lot more user-friendly than other HRIS
Top-of-the-line customer service
Constantly updates the different offered modules
Chose HiBob
We quickly outgrew our old HRIS, Breathe. Hibob was scalable, whereas we had reached user capacity with Breathe. We couldn't customise employee fields, permissions, or reports which made things like payroll and integration very challenging. All of these issues were resolved …
Chose HiBob
Hibob offers a lot of features and customization compared to BambooHR. You can have workflows only apply to select groupings of employees, whether by location, job type, or a custom group. It has built in surveys that you can customize; I had to use an expensive external system …

Deel has been incredible at streamlining the platforms we used into one while still supporting employees across several countries and contract types. If you're a multi-country team, this is a great option to run just basic HRIS items, but has the potential to be as integrated and detailed as you want - and they are still building!

The system is very well suited for the stage we are at as a company. We did a lot via Excel and old processes, but once we hit the 100-person mark, our work would have been challenging to execute without Hibob. We eliminated 3 systems by consolidating to the one Hibob system - it was almost a cost-neutral swap for us.

Pros
  • He never fails to pay contractors/employees. (Nunca falla en el tema de pagos a los contractors/employees)
  • The platform is constantly being updated and improved. (Actualización y realización de mejores de manera constante en la plataforma)
  • More than excellent customer service and problem solving (when there are problems)(Más que excelente atención al cliente y resolución de problemas (cuando los hay))
Read full review
  • It is extremely flexible and can be modified to fit most of our processes.
  • It's an easy UI to use and looks very nice as well.
  • I like that there is options like Superpowers and Hobbies to get to know our employees more than just their work details.

Cons
  • I didn't like that you can no longer manage your teams with Deel IT without a paid service. You could before, and it was an excellent option! I don't know why they removed it. (No me gustó que ahora no podas gestionar tus equipos con deel IT sin tener el servicio pago. Antes si se podía y era una excelente opción! No sé por qué lo quitaron).
  • That at the time of reviewing invoices for payment at the end of the month, they are sorted alphabetically and that the "search" filter works correctly.
  • (Que al momento de la revisión de invoices para pago a fin de mes, éstos estén ordenados alfabéticamente y que el filtro "buscar" funcione correctamente).
  • There's a pop-up that keeps appearing on the platform: "new version available, update" it's really annoying. (Hay un pop up que aparece constantemente en la plataforma: "new version available, update" la verdad es muy molesto).

  • Tasks - For something like onboarding, I wish there was a way to set up the tasks so that the person setting up the employee profile would be the only person to get the assigned tasks. It's hard to describe but for example, if there are multiple on-boarders on the team, is there a way to set up the tasks so that technically every on-boarder would be assigned to the task, but the person setting up the profile is the one that triggers the task for themselves.
  • Reports - I find pulling reports a bit complicated, especially if I am asked to pull data that involves info being located in different areas of an employee profile. For example, for a couple of months, I thought it was impossible to pull a variable pay report along with the base salary (in one report rather than pull two separate reports) only to find out that you can do that via the Total Compensation report. Also when I have to pull data for headcount since a certain day, I wish you can make the settings so that data can appear after a certain day, rather than sorting it manually via Excel/Google sheets.
  • Timesheet - I love the functionality of the timesheet that hibob provided, but I also wish they included an option where people can set up predicted work schedules for future dates. Currently, the timesheets are ideals for scenarios where employees time in and out of work.

We have been using this software for the last two years in the company of the a.m. Right now, I am part of the admin team for this software, so just being able to have a 1:1 usage of the software has helped me to realize how many aspects any other saw HR tool are lacking.

We will without a doubt be continuing to use Hibob, it is convenient, being engaged with and great value for money. A one stop shop for all things HR related to keep policies and safe financial information has been so beneficial to the business meaning less risk to GDPR breaches and somewhere for employees to refer back to in future has been invaluable

Usability
Deel is great to work with, it can be exactly as easy or complex to work with as you need and you can naturally expand into the functionality that your company needs. Every time I think, "this sounds really painful," I check Deel, and the solution is already there.

A lot of support is self-service from the users themselves, via a guide hosted on HiBob's website. I have found the guide helpful 10% of the time when I needed support. The support team is quite quick to reply, but not everyone is helpful unfortunately, and in many cases a lot of emails, messages and back and forth were needed to get to the bottom of an issue. When I pointed out that a video call would be a quicker way to tell people "this is how it's done", I was told that it's not the way they deliver support. I had to beg our account managers for a video chat with some skilled users to show me how to do certain things that (a) were nowhere to be found on the guide, and (b) the support team wasn't able to solve. Additionally, to find solutions, I was pointed to a forum where other users exchange tips on how they managed to solve problems - again, not really helpful as I would like to know this from Bob's team themselves since we're paying for the product, and I shouldn't rely on other users to tell me how they managed their way around a problem

With very similar offerings, Deel's more mature system was clear. The communication from Deel staff was impressive, and during the demo, they knew what they were doing, navigated the system, demonstrated all its features, and answered questions.

HiBob balances functionality, usability, pricing and client control to a much greater level than other systems. Enterprise systems such as SAP and Oracle offer greater functionality but at a much greater cost. Similar offerings from BambooHR, Dayforce and Workday are lacking in their functionality, user experience, pricing or customizability. Overall, the Customer Support experience with HiBob is now, and always has been out of this world in terms of response times, helpfulness and a strong willingness to adapt to the client requirements in terms of feature implementation and roadmapping.

Return on Investment
  • Time savings are the biggest benefit the platform has had for various levels of the company: CEO, HR, and contractors. We were able to reduce the payment processing time for international payments from 3 or 4 days to just a couple of hours! (Ahorro de tiempo es el mejor impacto que ha tenido la plataforma para varios niveles de la empresa: CEO, HR and contractors. Se pudo reducir el tiempo de pago de 3 o 4 días que nos tomaba hacer los pagos internacionales a solo un par de horas)!
  • International presence, prestige, and security. When hiring, you give the employer greater confidence knowing that their contract and payments are managed through a secure and globally recognized platform. (Presencia internacional, prestigio y seguridad. Al momento de hacer una contratación le das más confianza al contrator/employee saber que la gestión de su contrato y pagos son a través de una plataforma segura y conocida a nivel mundial).
  • Rapid expansion. We hire global talent and have your contracts and profiles ready in 1 day, and you can track the entire process. (Velocidad de expansión. Contratamos talengo global y tenemos listos su contratos y perfiles en 1 día y vas haciendo seguimiento a todo el proceso).

  • Our HR Coordinator is the main administrator and is the go-to for all thing Bob. This has freed up time for me (VP) and for our HR Manager to spend time on strategy and implementation of employee experience programs. Before HiBob, our HR Manager spent approximately 20% of her time on administrative items that Bob takes care of in minutes and I would have spent around 10% of my time on Performance Management. We invest around $20k in HiBob, but it has saved us approximately $45k in time. So, an ROI of $25,000.
