Hibob has a lot more features than PeopleHR. Just missing the overtime and expenses calculation
Hibob is much more user friendly than our previous system, it is prettier, much more customisable and to be used similarly to a social media platform has really helped people engage with the system.
PeopleHR was very systemised as opposed to getting people involved with giving kudos and thanks to people and to have a more centralised place for everything, has mean that performance management and reviews are easy to complete and manage and track throughout the year meaning people are more aligned with the vision and knowing where they stand with the business.

BambooHR is a great platform for small business but we found it wasn't conducive to our organization as we began to grow. While very user friendly, the Performance Management was limited and basic. HiBob has a better social platform where employees can be publicly recognized. And the reporting in BambooHR was not as sophisticated as HiBob.
BambooHR has an ATS incorporated, but since we already invest in an ATS (Lever), we didn't need to spend money on an HRIS with a basic ATS.
I'd suggest that HIbob is a mature, grown-up version of BambooHR so if that's what you're looking for, then it is a great investment.

I used this in my previous job and the system was internal so hard to say but completley different in the fact Hibob has a 'familiar' and friendlier feel - almost feels like a social media page and it is much more inviting for new employee and current. It also gives employees access to their own data instead of keeping it strictly admin.

HIbob is customisable and fun and really personal which is great for us as a business as we like to keep our tone of voice throughout our communications. Deel is great for various uses but doesn't have the same customisable options. HIbob is also super user friendly. None of our employees have issues using it and the team find manipulating the data super easy tooo.

Hibob has more customizable performance management, employee surveys, and PTO cycles than most of the tools I've evaluated. Hibob also includes many features for one-on-one tracking, Slack integration, and employee engagement (Kudos/Accounements/Polls) that other platforms don't have. The branded customization for the homepage and their mobile app are also differentiators in Hibob's HRIS offerings.

I love Bamboo HR but according to me, it is suited more for small or medium size companies. Bamboo HR is less custom. The survey, compensation, and performance module are better on HiBob. However, maybe Hibob has this option but we don't use it in my current company, but with Bamboo, it was possible to track time, vacation & co...

Hibob was ultimately more flexible and offered a strong customer support network which is why we selected it over others. It's also well-priced and while not "cheap", it was more inexpensive than other larger systems. Their sales team was so supportive the entire time and as we went into the implementation phase (which only took us 12 weeks for 1,000 employees!), it was clear that the support continued. Our implementation specialist was so incredibly helpful and while we worked at our own pace, we were still able to roll it out in 3 months. Having worked on a Workday Implementation before, I was blown away by how quickly we got this done. It's also great that as we are using the product, we can continuously make adjustments on our own and tweak it as the business changes. Workday is so complicated that it required a full-time team to work on it. It's just two of us overseeing the system and we are able to run things smoothly on our own! Of course, it's great having the support of our Account Manager when we get stuck.

Hibob is much easier to use than Oracle Cloud. The UE is much better - from the look of the home page to finding where to book leave or set goals etc, it is much better. I would also say that it is better in that you can set up flows so you get automatic reminders for certain tasks.

  • Breathe
We used Breathe before and it had incredibly basic functionality. It's hard to compare because there's a big difference in price point - but no one interacted with Breathe and it was only used for tracking holidays.

Namely did not have connected modules, so it was difficult to manage data across the different sites. They didn't have a large suite of API connections. Workday required technical experts to code and manage everything, is not user-friendly, and did not have historical data options available. BambooHR lacked technical options, it was a lot of manual work to make it look seamless to the employees. Paycor was awful - no smart fields, no retro calculations, the reports were terrible, and there was no point in time reporting. No API connections for any outside tools.

  • Breathe
We quickly outgrew our old HRIS, Breathe. Hibob was scalable, whereas we had reached user capacity with Breathe. We couldn't customise employee fields, permissions, or reports which made things like payroll and integration very challenging. All of these issues were resolved when we joined Bob. We could customise fields based on categories like a job site or department, so reporting became extremely easy. Furthermore, we can schedule reports to be automatically sent out to users, which was never a feature on Breathe. Things like performance and talent management, time and attendance, compensation reviews, task lists, and new hire flows were all features that we hadn't known we needed until we joined Hibob. They have become invaluable to our progression as an HR team and company.

Hibob offers a lot of features and customization compared to BambooHR. You can have workflows only apply to select groupings of employees, whether by location, job type, or a custom group. It has built in surveys that you can customize; I had to use an expensive external system to be able to do the customized performance and feedback cycles that Hibob has built in. You can even add new custom fields to Hibob without having to make a support ticket

Hibob is much better and offers many more options than SplashHR. Hibob is more trustworthy. We have come to rely on Hibob for all of our needs in those areas. There is also BambooHR but we looked at it and found that Hibob offers all of the areas we need and use.
