I am end user and I find it very easy to use. I do my review and my time tracking there . I can view my compensation as well. I like that everything is in one place and very easy to find things and to use. My usage doesn’t go beyond that.
  • Time
  • Management is very easy
  • Easy access
  • Everything is centralized
Cons
  • When doing vacation it would be nice to see on the same screen how many hours I have instead of going back
  • And forth to check balance
I think for end users it is easy place to navigate in. It makes it easy for us to find what we need very quickly and maneuver around . It really is one stop shop for all of us and our lives are much easier . I don’t use it for many things so I can’t think of scenarios where it is less suited

Great product that end users like.

We need a single source of truth for our HR data and a one stop shop across the employee lifecycle.<br>We needed a way in which to deliver compensation with good governance and controls.<br>We need managers to be able to take accountability for their teams.
  • Compensation planning and approvals
  • Single source of truth for people data
Cons
  • Reporting with report stories is not intuitive
Medium size (or large organisations) where data management is critical and where you need reportable information on org hierarchy/structure
