Talentsoft from Cegid vs. Welcome

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

If you don't have a workflow management tool in place and are relying on email or shared documents, then I would recommend using Welcome to keep tasks moving and employees accountable. It's very flexible, so you can really drill down on what you're asking from users and it consolidates the tasks that you need to work on in one place. We don't use it for legal documents due to more specific requirements that those require, but, for most other collaborative work, it is used.

• 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.

• I can see an overview of all my assigned tasks and if I need to take action now or in the future.
• The history tab gives a detailed overview of all action taken by everyone so far.
• You can really break tasks down into clear, specific steps leaving no room for guesswork or confusion.

• Better integration with other tools in my opinion
• Better import/export functionality in my opinion
• Customisable reports

• For some tasks that don't require an article, we are forced to create one or the task doesn't function.
• When changes are tracked in Word docs they are not apparent until the file is downloaded meaning that if people are only previewing content, they will miss these changes/comments.
• Having 2 separate places to comment can be confusing and hiding resolved comments can mean less transparency in the process.

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.

• In my opinion, does not solve any real business problems
• In my opinion, high cost with weak functionality

• Employees can be resistant to using Welcome at first as they think it will add to their workload, but they, eventually, see the benefits of saving time and gaining efficiency.
• If one person is responsible for entering all tasks, it can be a fair bit of admin time for that person.
• We have a better working relationship with external agencies that also use Welcome to collaborate with us.
