Overall Satisfaction with PeopleGuru HCM

I use People Guru HCM to process payroll, store HR data, manage PTO, and onboarding. The software allows for all data and functionality for both HR and payroll to be included in one system. It allows me to perform duties with higher efficiency and accuracy.
  • Payroll
  • Timekeeping
  • Onboarding
  • Great network with very little lag time.
  • PTO Management.
  • Alerts for Pay Changes.
  • Ability to Assign Additional Supervisors for each location.
  • Tax Filings.
  • Cost Savings.
  • Improved Efficiency.
  • Benefit Management.
  • PTO Management needs improvement.
  • The ad hoc report maker isn't as user-friendly as other functions. This could use improvement.
Overall, the software meets the majority of our organization's needs. Improvements are needed for PTO management and reporting.
PeopleGuru performs well against the other software. I find the PeopleGuru software to be more user-friendly and innovative compared to the others. Insperity TimeStar has a better layout for timekeeping and allows for more report options in regards to time and attendance.

Evaluating PeopleGuru HCM and Competitors

Yes - Benefit Mall Pay Focus Pro, Sage, and Insperity Time star.
  • Price
  • Product Features
The most important factor was pricing. We needed a product that would meet our organization's needs and that was in our budget.
I would have asked more questions regarding PTO management and reporting. I also would have considered the duties involved with implementation. The implementation process was the most challenging.

PeopleGuru HCM Implementation

The implementation process was cumbersome and stressful. It took an extremely long time to complete this process. We had to learn a lot on the fly because this was the first implementation for all of us. The process would have been a lot easier if there was a third party that could assist with a lot of the work required to transfer and verify data.
  • Benefit data uploads.
  • Uploading historical payroll records.
  • Verifying salaries.
  • Verifying benefit deductions.

The customer service is great for the most part. There are a few issues with tax filings but overall I am pleased with the customer service provided by PeopleGuru.
