Overall Satisfaction with CakeHR
Today, CakeHR is being used within my organization to track time off, one-on-one's, annual reviews, and goals. The features that CakeHR offered ant the price they offered was by far more superior than other HR applications I looked at. Prior to using CakeHR, we were keeping track of time off in a manually managed Excel document. CakeHR was implemented across our entire organization and has been a huge success since day 1.
- Time off policies are clear and transparent.
- The review process functionality was extremely easy to use.
- Support is outstanding . If you ever run into an issue they are always available to help.
- Onboarding document control is really easy to manage and stays consistent with a growing company.
- A few more override features for time off. For example, I would like certain people to get notified of PTO. CakeHR can't do this currently. So I had to grant authority to approve, which gave my admin the ability to see the email of approval.
- In 2019, we found a few missing time off requests that were not updated on our spreadsheet. CakeHR has a definite ROI since its all kept electronically and updates with full history view.
- Asset management was another tool we used Excel. This was a feature we were not shopping but it was like the cherry on top of the cake :-)
- An easy to use organization chart. We were using PowerPoint before Cake. As we continue to add employees, this makes it clean and easy to update.
I searched for plenty of HR applications. Some wanted a ridiculous amount of money but didn't have many features. One wanted us to move our payroll over to them which wasn't an option. As a smaller to mid-sized company 50-200 employees, we have a central accounting dept that we wanted to keep most of our processes with. CakeHR delivered with all the needs plus more. I know there are some features we are not using because they don't fit our needs at this time but I am aware of them. Finding a web-based application that solved all of our needs and more was a homerun for us. All the others I searched were always missing or wanted us to pay substantially more for a key component we needed.
