    Overall, I would generally recommend Proliant to a colleague as I think the system and structure has great bones and is generally very easy to use. However, if a colleague was needing a system with a robust reporting system or access to immediate support, I would be less likely to recommend the system.

    SentricHR works well with unusual situations in payroll - they understood that our payroll is not just a basic hourly/salaried situation and were able to create codes and functions to work with our exact needs.

    Pros
    Proliant

    Sentric
    • Open Enrollment lets employees view and select the benefit they want for the following plan year. Sentric is easy to use and lets us in HR link their selection to their payroll records.
    • Sentric allows HR and the employee to view their paychecks. They can look at one, or many at a time.
    • When someone applies for a job via Sentric, their candidate records carry through to their employee record after we hire the person.

    Cons
    Proliant
    • Reporting is limited to data that is pulled by pay period--not by date worked, so if trying to determine how much an employee earned during a quarter--you have to calculate this manually
    • Employee records are limited to admin only viewing--so managers can not see payrates, upload documents to employee files or update expiration dates to licenses, etc
    • User guides in the knowledge base are out of date and don't cover the recent updates to the system--or outline processes that are no defunct
    • Limited integrations with other HR platforms are available. Ex--outside ATS, candidate assessment tools

    • Make it easier to determine which report works best for our needs
    • Have the ability to create a custom report for specific instances
    • Other than that, they're perfect!

    Proliant
    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.

    Proliant is the only payroll software I have used, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon. It gives me everything I need in simple, easy-to-use software. If I have questions they have quality customer service. I get calls weekly to change to other payroll services, and I don't consider changing because there is no need to change - I have everything I need here. Proliant does exactly the job I am looking for it to do.

    I haven't explored the other systems in great detail. IFS didn't appear as "user-friendly". Taleo seemed to not have the capabilities Sentric did.

    Return on Investment
    Proliant
    • i am not able to give this information because I don't believe our firm fully uses Proliant
    • I was just made aware of some of the benefits Proliant can offer through this survey
    • The only negative is that when the "pre-wire" requirement was activated this year, we were not told ahead of time and it caused a lot of confusion and delay when we tried to process the first partner payroll in January.
