    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.

    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
    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.

    • 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
    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Return on Investment
    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
