(51-58 of 58)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
- Provide many options to customize our employee performance appraisal process
- Very easy to function
- Easy to access performance appraisal archives
- Customer Service/Tech Support is super equipped to answer any question and resolve any issue
- I wish there was a simpler way we can customize our data more to our needs
- Would like to receive any notifications to approve prior to notifications going out to the entire company

Halogen - It's pretty solid
- Simple user interface - I think for most computer friendly populations, Halogen's interface is easy to navigate from an end user perspective.
- Dashboard- The product delivered dashboards are great- especially for data driven organizations
- Customer service - Every rep I have spoken with has been very pleasant and knowledgeable. I have had very positive experiences dealing with their customer reps.
- Reporting - My organization is extremely data driven; I find the reporting to be ridged, requiring way too much manual work. This maybe a limitation based on our configuration, but it would be great to see an easy way to create custom reports.
- "Third Party Feedback" we do not use the multirater functionality, and in lieu of that we use third party feedback -- it would be nice if the manager had the option to post third party comments into the review without having to copy/paste. Seems small but every appraisal process someone is confused or challenged by this.
- Notifications are pretty one size fits all, which does not always work. It would be great to be able to customize notifications for groups of users. Currently, I have to follow up with employees via email, despite having notifications configured.
- Customer Service. Halogen's customer service is ON POINT. Whenever a member of HR has a question we either contact our implementation specialist or the main customer support line. Each time we call we have our questioned answered. You never feel rushed and they ensure that your are comfortable with the system and any changes you may have to make.
- Implementation. Our implementation specialist and trainer were fantastic. They have the best knowledge of the product and we received great advice when determining what would be the best format, options, and candid issues we may run into when rolling out the system. Nothing was left unsaid whether good or room for more development and opportunity in the system.
- eCompensation. I have really dug deep into the eCompensation system when it comes to quarterly bonuses and administration of refresh stock options. The eCompensation module is very limited when it comes to the administration of these two areas. It becomes heavy lifting each quarter on the back end where it should be more automated based off of information that is flowed in from HRIS connect. If Halogen was able to build a more automated eCompensation module specific to quarterly bonuses and stock administration I would recommend Halogen to peer companies.

- Importing data is very easy
- Customising forms is easy to do and does not require someone from Halogen to make the changes
- Reporting in Halogen is easy to do and allows you to pull data into Excel to manupulate
- The single sign-on feature makes it easy for end users to access their Halogen portal
- You have the ability to create as many different processes as you need. You can have one form for managers, another for business development, another for individual contributors ect.
- Setting up the single sign-on had its challenges, but finally our IT team and Halogen were able to get it setup and working
- There are automatic reminders for individuals to complet their tasks. They could use a couple more options about how to setup the reminders.

- The goal setting process is very straight forward and leaves little room for error or confusion.
- As an administrator, it is very easy to go into the system and assist users when they have trouble with anything from passwords to where they are in the process.
- I like being able to view appraisal history quickly and easily.
- There are too few options for the managers to go back in and adjust goals. Everything feels very permanent.
- In IE my halogen crashes at least once per day.

- Automatic email notifications - you can customize the verbiage of each system-generated notification, and tweak the frequency of notifications.
- Multi-rater feedback - very easy to solicit feedback from employees or even 3rd parties outside of the company.
- Performance center - a place where managers can keep performance journals, upload documents, etc for employees, and it's easily viewable in "split screen" while writing employee reviews. Everything is kept in once place.
- Reports - Reports are very standard, and you don't have much control of what info you want to include/exclude.
- When looking to tweak a process or form, the specific place you need to go to make the change is sometimes very "hidden" or buried. The system is capapble of so much that sometimes you can't easily figure out what you need to do. On the flip side, their customer support is very helpful.
- Forms are "smart", but they're not as "smart" as I would have liked. For example, you cannot pre-determine the review period on forms each year, resulting in numerous calls from employees and managers asking what the period is. Also, forms are not smart enough to pre-populate the last review date into the new form. These aren't major issues, but little things that would be nice to have.

- Compentency Ratings and Comments - I like being able to choose a rating and make applicable comments in support of that rating.
- I train the managers on how to use Halogen. I like the Suggested Comments box. This can assist them with comments when they "get stuck." This can also be a hinderance for managers who rely on this tool only and don't use specific examples.
- I like being able to sign-off electronically. No papers to file!
- I see no weaknesses.

- Implementation was seamless and as painless of a process as I have ever been a part of.
- Excellent customer suport.
- New versions are ready to go and bug-free when they are rolled out.
- Getting the eSuccession module to tie together with the eAppraisal module was difficult.
- I seldom give perfect reviews or exceeds expectations on reviews of anything. The company and CEO act very disappointed when reviewed average or normal.
