Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In our company, we use DarwinBox to maintain the data of our employees and for recruitment purposes."
"The leave-related modules are comprehensive, offering built-in functionalities for optional leaves."
"The solution that we used previously was very complex. As a result, without referring to the manuals and consulting an expert, it was difficult for a newly hired employee to navigate the platform. However, this is not the case with Darwinbox. It has a very intuitive user interface, and anyone can use it and implement it without having to use a guide or a walk through process. It's very simple."
"The most valuable features of the solution are organogram and position-based mapping."
"The UI and UX are fantastic."
"It has the capability of reporting. We, as a business team, found it good. In fact, we migrated to PeopleStrong essentially because of its reporting feature."
"PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."
"Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system."
"The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks."
"The mobile responsiveness is strong."
"It is priced low."
"The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities."
 

Cons

"Like most software, it has a base version, the vanilla, out-of-the-box version, and customization is required to match it to the unique processes of each company. The Darwinbox team seems to be having difficulty with the customization process. They have to be a little more mature to customize it as per every company's need."
"DarwinBox is not a stable solution...DarwinBox is not a scalable solution."
"Customization in performance management is cumbersome."
"The solution's API integration with third-party applications should be improved."
"The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level."
"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems."
"They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat."
"PeopleStrong could make it AI-friendly."
"They could improve talent management capabilities."
"Sometimes, we feel that we should have an API-based integration aspect."
