Bob

Pros

HiBob is both easy for administrators to use and intuitive for end users. Good data visibility and an intuitive interface characterize the reporting features. Workflows are fantastic, in my opinion as well.

Cons

Invisible drawbacks. Thanks to Bob's continuous updates and addition of new features in response to consumer input, any problems I've had have been swiftly and simply fixed.

Pros

Bob is really multifaceted and has filled a lot of gaps we have as a smaller People team. It honestly is a bit more than we need at our org size, but I can toggle off things we don't utilize, which is super helpful. Being in several countries Bob was an easy call to make because the level of detail is there for things like holidays and what information we need for folks based on their locations. The integrations to our other tech stack are also amazing compared to other systems we have utilized.

Cons

Some of the processes to set things up seem to be over complicated, but support is usually able to assist and there is a very robust library to problem solve with. The reporting can take a bit to learn how to get what you want but once you do it's actually really great.

Reasons for Switching to Bob

Pros

You can easily access all employee database and quickly. The software doesn't lag. The time and attendance tracking is always accurate and it also provides a report of all the gathered data.

Cons

It's not available for all languages, so the selection is limited, as well as offline functionalities, which are also limited. If you are not used to HR platforms, some of its tools can be confusing to use at first.

Pros

User-Friendly Interface: Bob's modern, intuitive design makes it easy for employees and managers to navigate and complete HR tasks seamlessly.

Customizable Workflows: Hibob’s flexible workflows are great for tailoring the HR experience to match your company's unique needs, from onboarding to performance management.

People Analytics: Bob provides comprehensive analytics and insights, empowering HR teams to make data-driven decisions around engagement, retention, and team development.

Cons

Nothing really negative to say. I really like it.

Pros

In it's absolute definition HiBob is our backbone when it comes to employee management with it's simple yet effective Google integration! I'd definitely recommend it!

Cons

It's task reminders are not consistent and sometimes it duplicates the tasks when an auto tasks is triggered manually. If a task is triggered manually the auto version should not be triggered.

Reasons for Switching to Bob

Pros

Easy to use platform - book holiday/sick/birthday leave at the click of a button. I like the integration to google calendar. Easy to see when colleagues are scheduled to be off. We also recently started using for performance reviews.

Cons

Nothing noteworthy to mention here. I like the product

Pros

As an employee, I find the interface to be very comfortable to locate information regarding my own employment, as well as submit time off notifications, etc.

As a manager, while obviously the platform is only as useful as the information and features that our HR team chooses to include/utilize, I find the platform to be intuitive and clear - something which is not the case for many other products.

Cons

As noted above, I find the tool to be rather comfortable and do not have specific critiques. I believe our team could likely utilize more features, but that is obviously a calculous of time needed to set up more functionality as compared with competing demands in a rapidly scaling business.

Pros

The platform's user-friendly interface is its standout feature—navigating through Bob feels intuitive and efficient. it is really easy to request time off and check on events. Additionally, the focus on employee-centric features like the culture hub and pulse surveys fosters a sense of community and are pretty fun

Cons

Bob excels in many areas, the mobile app feels a bit limited compared to the desktop version, particularly when it comes to accessing detailed analytics and reports. There’s also a slight learning curve for non-tech-savvy users when setting up complex workflows or integrations with other platforms.

Pros

I have used many tools like this and Bob is by far the best. In terms of interface it is very pleasant on the eye. The UX is top notch giving users an easy and effective way to navigate. I love the organizational structure feature as well, very simple to use.

Cons

Almost nothing, you have to almost make something up to fill this space as there really isn’t a lot wrong with it.

Pros

Ease of use and navigation, works well fro what it is

Cons

Limited options, other sites/apps offer many other features

Pros

Flexibility, customisable, intuitive, user-friendly, real-time people changes, reporting etc. The list is long

Cons

Integration with Netsuiote Infinite Cloud and conducting salary review via Bob using Package was hard

Pros

Simple and easy to use system that centralizes everything for employees and managers.
I find myself open it many times.
I also used the API which was well documented and easy to use and created simple automations to pull out some information.

Cons

Some of the screens are a bit overloaded and “old fashioned”.
E.g the employee information.
It could use a better UX and a fresh look.

Pros

HiBob is incredibly convenient for efficiently compiling and organizing staff data, particularly when it comes to gathering specific information for various tasks and departments. Its flexibility significantly streamlines my workload, making managing data a breeze.

Cons

HiBob is fantastic, but a feature I'd love to see is the ability to save preset report filters for different departments. This would streamline processes by having specific filters ready, eliminating the need to manually adjust them for each department's unique requirements. Implementing this would further boost efficiency and customization within the platform.

Pros

All-in-one People Management platform. A one stop shop for the people team to manage everything HR

Cons

Sometimes a few features are a bit hard to use or understand, and not immediately intuitive - but not a major concern

Pros

bob is a user-friendly People tool that has been a great resource for our business. It has helped us automate tasks and focus on people initiatives that make a difference in employees' lives. With easy to use reporting systems and detailed dashboards, we are able to make well informed data-driven decisions.

Cons

Would love to see further expansion in the 1x1 tool to enable team members to make meetings with their managers, and allow other leaders book 1x1s with team members to encourage mentoring. I would also love to see further development in the e-sign templates to allow for direct uploading of editable pdfs.

Pros

Easy to use and integrated with our Pento payroll software.

Cons

Can not manage very efficient employess internal transfers beetwen organisations.

Pros

Simple App with high value to end user. The ability to customise tasks, flow, etc. is great.

Cons

Can be better integrated to some of the widely used ERP like Pronto

Pros

I think ALL. Is the best tool to keep your employees database with all the HR needs. It's contain all the needs and functionalities. I did not try the payroll system. But I wish I could develop it sooner than later.

Cons

Nothing. I think is the best tool available in the market.

Pros

A lot of pros. Everything is simple with a clear UI. Love the kudos feature. Have used in two roles.

Cons

Can't think of anything - think it is all great!

Tasks module not so easy to use and some other related future not so intuitive

Reasons for Switching to Bob

Pros

The PTO tracking is great and allows visibility across your entire time off

Cons

A better dashboard and feed would be good that goes into more detail

Pros

The notification settings. The panel to control them is very complete and flexible.

Cons

"My time off" divided in two sections, "Balance" and "Requests". I'd rather have everything in one place.Having access to pages I won't use (I'm not sure if they can be removed or disabled for specific employees).The arrows to expand the main body to make it fill the whole screen is silly."I personally don't like the "social media" part of the platform. I have the feeling that the platform is trying to be so complete that sometimes it loses focus of its purpose.

Pros

Using Bob for onboarding, goal setting, and performance management have streamlined a lot of our bulky processes. We look forward to moving forward using more of the product soon.

Cons

I wish the integration of HR data would be a little easier or that we could have help now that we are ready to start that part even though we have been using Bob for other things for a while.
