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…
Eckart  Jensen - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a very competitive pricing model but needs to offer flexibility
In my company, we are going down with the implementation service because it is too much of a hassle. If you are supporting European-based companies being located in another location, Zoho is not flexible. As a vendor, you cannot support European business in Asia. You need to be a European vendor to support European business in Asia, and I gave Zoho feedback already that it doesn't make sense as the European vendor who's not on the ground in Asia does not understand the requirements in Asia. As per Zoho, the European vendor makes a joint venture with a local vendor in Asia, and then they do the project together, but I feel that no customer will pay for such complexity. The only challenge is if you are a European business based in Asia and you want to have your data on an EU server, it is a nightmare. The tool should offer more flexibility in areas like attendance. Its features are okay. The solution needs more reporting tools. I should be able to choose where to store the data since, as a European business, you are obliged to store your data in Europe.

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."
"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 most valuable feature of the solution is its analytics part."
 

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."
"The only challenge is if you are a European business based in Asia and you want to have your data on an EU server, it is a nightmare."
 

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."
"Zoho People Plus has a very competitive pricing model. The pricing part is tier-based, and it is eight Euros per user."
