Fidesic vs. Parabol

My experience with Fidesic has been wonderful and it has helped to streamline our payables. We've been able to give our operations teams access in order for them to review their invoices instead of coming to the AP team to do the research.

Parabol has been very useful in running meetings in person as well as digitally. Parabol become extremely useful for us in COVID when we used smart meeting scheduling and run them in an agile way using Digital Kanban board and sticky notes, easy to manage check-ins and integrations with internal tools.

Incentivized

• Integrations with internal tools.
• Smart Scheduling rules can be much advanced like Calendly.
• More flexibility for users.

PaperSave was a complete bust for us. Their OCR was terrible and never really worked. Their customer service was an abomination and we were hung up on by their trainer. GP just could not handle the volume of checks that we had and we were using a lot of MICR ink which became very expensive along with the amount of check stock we were using. Fidesic has streamlined all of that for us and allowed us to process bills and payments but not get bogged down in the stuffing of envelopes.

The capability to create reflections and comments while maintaining anonymity is a very useful feature that contributes to group engagement without individuals feeling that they have to censor what they say. Parabol's anonymous functionality promotes honest discussion and feedback that most likely would not occur when employees feel that their input would not be taken seriously.

Incentivized

• We have been able to implement ACH which cuts the costs of sending out checks
• We have been able to send checks through them instead of stuffing 10k+ envelopes a month.
• Questions to our staff have been cut in half.

Incentivized

• Parabol helped in better collaboration.
• Parabol improved productivity.
• Was not high on ROI in monetary terms.
