Overall Satisfaction with Halogen Software
Halogen is currently being used organization wide for our annual performance reviews. The most important problem it addressed was turning a paper process fully electronic. We as a organization relied very heavily on paper, to the point were employee files were massive. Halgoen consolidated the process to one place and significantly minmized the tracking efforts.
- 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.
- Reducing the time and effort of tracking a paper process.
- Better customer service
- Nearly 100% Appraisal compliance.
- Workday
I inhereted this software, so I was not invovled in the selection process.
