Enhancing attendance and leave management but needs better performance customization
Our primary use case for DarwinBox includes managing attendance, payroll-related tasks, and employee appraisal cycles DarwinBox has provided a significant return on investment for our finance team. Managing payroll and attendance manually would require more team members, so using DarwinBox…

Enables users to share curated content and helps schedule the best time to post content
The solution helped us get a fairly good footprint in our channel. It makes it very easy for many of us who have a lot of contacts in the channel. We can share curated content from the team on our social channels. It makes it easy. I could select what I want to share and choose the best time for it to be posted there, and it will. The product makes it very easy for many people dealing with different parts of our channel to push our content out to people in it. It works pretty well. There may be other capabilities that I do not know about. The solution works fine for my use cases. It's easy. It's not time-consuming. It takes 15 minutes to go through it. The solution uses AI to help schedule the best time for things to post to get the most reads and likes. It is pretty effective.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"In our company, we use DarwinBox to maintain the data of our employees and for recruitment purposes."
"The most valuable features of the solution are organogram and position-based mapping."
"The solution helped us get a fairly good footprint in our channel."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"I don't have direct access to the performance statistics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared with SuccessFactors, there is no major difference in DarwinBox's cost."
"My company makes some yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to DarwinBox."
