    I believe StratEx is well suited for any type of business at any size. However, I believe the sweet spot would be hotels and restaurants that are small to midsize. With the right HR staff in place, StratEx is so user-friendly and moldable to the needs of the business that it can be used in any industry, location, or by any company with any employee population.

    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.

    Cons
    Toast
    • HR - We used to receive HR support and that is something that we really miss.
    • StratEx was also our broker so made the health care side of things seamless and we miss that too.
    • Support - Sometimes the support we get is lacking or we get different answers from different people.

    • 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.

    Without a doubt, StratEx wins. Against all the major players in the HRS/HRIS industry, StratEx's biggest win is cost, both implementation and ongoing costs. The other's we evaluated offered tons of flashy things that most companies don't really need. When it was all said it done, we looked at what we needed and what we will need and determined that there is no reason to pay for a "big" brand name and be a small fish in their large ponds. I cannot imagine there is a company that would need anything StratEx doesn't offer. And, when it came down to it, all the major players came down from their original proposals by $100,000 or more to be more competitive with StratEx and we still went with StratEx. They've kept every promise, they've always been available, and they know where they are going as a company.

    • 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.
