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…
Kushal Dadwal - PeerSpot reviewer
Plenty of modules, useful bulk transfers, and scales well
I used SAP SuccessFactors prior to ZingHR. The main difference between ZingHR and SAP SuccessFactors is SAP SuccessFactors has a huge, dynamic UI. Admins have more control over fields, access, and permissions. Additionally, if the administrators are experienced they can make more customization within the system themselves. They do not need to approach the company or consultant. However, ask for the company to make necessary field corrections, or make certain changes for us. SAP SuccessFactors is not a perfect solution either, it has room for improvement. They are missing payroll as part of the core modules, you have to purchase it separately which can add to more costs. I prefer SAP SuccessFactors because it is good overall, dynamic, and it is evolving every quarter, every six months.

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 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 leave-related modules are comprehensive, offering built-in functionalities for optional leaves."
"The most valuable feature of ZingHR is the data bulk uploading and downloading."
"The solution is a cloud HRMS, which makes it a self-sufficient model. You can do a lot of things without taking anybody's help."
 

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."
"Customization in performance management is cumbersome."
"DarwinBox is not a stable solution...DarwinBox is not a scalable solution."
"The solution's API integration with third-party applications should be improved."
"ZingHR could improve by giving administration users from the front end the ability to make corrections. I am having to do the bulk corrections from an Excel upload from the system."
"ZingHR is not flexible and needs to improve offline support."
 

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."
"ZingHR is a less expensive solution than others, such as SAP SuccessFactors."
"ZingHR is not expensive."
