Bob Erfahrungen

Vorteile

bob team is extremely agile and receptive to feedback. New features are pushed frequently and we feel heard when talking to the client service.

Nachteile

Most definitely the application's speed. It's sluggish, and the login takes forever.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

bob seemed to have the best balance between customizability and provided/fixed frameworks of people management.

Vorteile

More than just an HRIS, it's a place for employee engagement. Great personalized homepage to keep people updated. Easy to use and to set up. You can keep a pulse on the culture with ease. They are constantly improving product and takes feedback from clients and they keep you informed. They also work with you to ensure that the product is meeting your needs and help you find ways to better utilize it. It's easy to implement new items and grows with the company well. We were able to globalize our Org chart and better integrate the global teams.

Nachteile

Currently, there is no way to have a site admin vs a total admin. This is an issue if you want a HR lead at each site to be able to customize the program without access to their counterpart's private information. Also, employee's do not have the ability to opt in or out for their birthday or work anniversary being shared. There are work arounds but right out of the box, it's either all employees show up or none show up on the homepage.

Warum Bob gewählt wurde

Needed to globalize our systems and find a system that could serve us as we grow.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

Had the features we needed and big on engagement.

Vorteile

There are very few positives I can draw on

Nachteile

The software feels like it has been created in the absence of any HR feedback. Forms dont flow, modules arent effective (talent management for example is completely 2 dimensional and not aligned to any global talent frameworks), org planning is almost impossible.

Vorteile

great user and admin experienceDEIB focus with pronouns and demographic fieldsmass loading possible super quick implementationautomation of tasks and workflows

Nachteile

Automations don't always workSupport is patchy and relies too much on users being able to solve the problem themselvesA lot of workarounds are necessary to overcome Bob's limitations

Personio

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

Quick implementation, onboarding & pre boarding workflows were suitable based on our needs, the UI is intuitive

Vorteile

I love the UX and especially the customer support team, both in Israel and in NY.

Nachteile

Sometimes features aren't available for different employees and it takes time to talk to the HR manager to allow some permissions.

Vorteile

The interface is easy to use, which leads to high rates of adoption. We also like that it works for our employees in Russia - finding a product that works in Russia was difficult, and it kept us from uniting as a global organization. Finally, I like how customizable and configurable it is. Teams in different companies or even different states have very different needs, and Bob lets our HR team build processes that are conditioned on employee demographics.

Nachteile

It's a steep learning curve! You need to have someone on your team prepared to really learn the software inside and out.

Vorteile

A great platform for an employee that has an information and tools to grow, develop and connect. It is just like any other social media account which is internal to an organization. It provides multiple features like goal settings, PTO tracking, employee information and many more

Nachteile

No such cons as such. works like an internal social media of an organization

Vorteile

Because I use it, I've seen some of the most well-liked characteristics, such as how everyone can use Bob regardless of technical skill because of its user-friendly interface. With this program, I can create performance review templates that can be adjusted to meet the particular requirements of each firm. Also, it enables supervisors to provide constant feedback to staff members, encouraging candid dialogue and supporting continuous progress.

Nachteile

While I'm using it, I've noted some of the least appealing aspects: Users of Bob have complained about its limited ability to integrate with other HR applications and systems. Also, I've seen that Bob's modification possibilities are constrained and could not satisfy their organization's particular requirements. And I have said there could be a steep learning curve while using the program at first.

Vorteile

I love that, as an employee, I can have all the HR stuff gathered in one place so that whether if I want to request PTO or check my benefits or my colleagues' vacation I can go to one place. The whole experience is very intuitive and easy. It's also very easy to customize for your needs!

Nachteile

I didn't find anything that I wouldn't like.

Vorteile

very easy to work with, visually looks great, you can see everything with a click

Nachteile

review the people / HC tree sometimes not open the right employee

Vorteile

It's very easy to use - user friendly interface, intuitive navigation, you can find whatever you need in the matter of seconds even if it's your first experience with the platform
It's beautiful - our employees love it too
The support team is amazing - they not only resolve any issues quickly, but they also listen to suggestions and implement them within reasonable time. I love getting product updates as I know that there will be something I asked about.
The system features everything you'd want from a modern HRIS and even more - we love club feature and about section - it helps employees learn more about each other and find common interests.
There's some functions that I'd love to have but they are not yet there (such as pre-boarding or e-signature) but the guys are constantly working on them and I've seen that for example e-signature is coming within next few weeks.

Nachteile

If we are talking about bob as HRIS there's very few things that I don't like, or rather I would like to have and they are not yet there - prebording being one example.
I'd love performance module to be more sophisticated but the guys have just introduced it and I see that it gets updated constantly, which is great. also, it's not a separate platform for performance management so I wouldn't expect it have all the features that other platforms dedicted to performance only have.
There are other small things (such as I can't send a survey to 1 person only), but they are small compared to all the benefits and again, I know that sooner or later those will be resolved too.

Vorteile

Being able to feedback and see your feedback quickly acted on influencing the growth of the product. You feel valued and part of the journey. I am a 1 person HR/office team helping out a small finance team for a company of 50 and this software has saved me hours of time and stress. I am not even using it to its full potential yet due to finite time. It has also helped give power to employees where as an example they can see their annual leave so I don't have to keep spreadsheets and constantly update individuals. It is just their. Managers can see their teams, Org charts are great. adding photos so people can see who's who in a growing team and that is just the very tip of the iceberg that is bob. Fantastic.

Nachteile

The performance review section. I know when bob developed it they developed a product I was super excited about and holding out for. They, as any business would do, sought feedback and ended up releasing a much lighter touch performance review section based on the feedback. As a result I am going to use another platform which is more suited to my companies needs. However I am sure it will be a very suitable process for many companies, as their own research shows.

Vorteile

1. Very easy to customise and use.
2. Really high standard of cutomer service.
3. Continuous improvements and new features.

Nachteile

Some limitations around different shift patterns and rota roastering.

Vorteile

Bob is intuitive, easy to use and gets ahead with all its features. It's not only an employee data management software, it's a one-stop-shop for all-things-employee lifecycle (performance, surveys, compensation, org charting, reporting, etc.). Employees love to use it because it provides value to them outside of simply storing their data with things like shout-outs, company announcements, clubs, interests, demographics, etc. It's also very beautiful to look at!

Nachteile

Hard to pick something to dislike. I will say that sometimes it takes longer to hear back from chat support. I wish they had an implementation team or person to work with you to set the tech up appropriately according to your use case. The implementation is very self-lead, and for someone that is maybe the only person in their department, this can be overwhelming if you can't find the time to dedicate to it. Other than that, I'm very happy with the software and each team member I've had the pleasure of chatting to has been more than helpful and lovely.

Vorteile

They are constantly listening to their customers and adding functionalities to Hibob. The rate of innovation to their product is something that I have never experienced before in the HR world. Normally you buy the software and once a year an element of it is updated. With Hibob they very regularly update and improve the system, constantly working on an even better experience for the user and admins. Compared to Hibob our pricey payroll system (from a global market leader) feels like a system from the dark ages! We use HIbob for our 'Pulse' questions to check in with how the company is feeling, we use it for our appriasal process, the reporting is great, booking holidays on it and reporting on holiday is very simple. Love the dashboard for quick answers that in the HR Team we so regularly get asked. The workflows for new joiners and leavers have saved so much team time! We are complete Hibob lovers! The 'Club View' is a great quick way at looking at salaries, who drinks red wine and everything in between!

Nachteile

Ummmmmm.....I really can't think of anything...it really is a revolutionary and essential piece of HR kit!

Vorteile

LOVE! It is a main staple on most tools to be integrated with, slack is easy but also other payroll, engagement and HR/Tech tools integrate seamlessly.

Love the UX, simple, colourful and engaging.

Customer service is great too! Keep doing what you're doing, bob :)

Nachteile

The pricing model for new features could be a bit more adaptable. We wanted to add timesheets just to a set number of employees but they wanted to charge us for the whole company!

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

Price and product offering!

Vorteile

Bob makes me help to solve queries in seconds and the responding team is amazing they have solutions for almost everything that the HR department can do and solve for you.

Nachteile

Bob is expensive at some level because companies cannot use it to the fullest and the packages from bob may affect their budget.

Vorteile

HR platforms are typically robust and house many different features for managing your employment and benefits at a company. Bob is the perfect match between a platform that has a high level of functionality - but remains easy to use.

For HR Staff using the system to manage a business; it contains stable features to manage time off, holidays, employee on-boarding, document provision, and company benefits. For the average staff member at a business, it is simple to use and has an intuitive interface. Taking time off is easy!

Bob is a new platform that is growing quickly. Although it may be simpler than some other HR platforms as a result, it's ability to easily solve a large amount of HR tasks in one platform is well worth the investment.

Nachteile

Being a new piece of software, some of the complexity found in managing company benefits, for instance, is limited in features at this time. This is only the result of having launched in the past couple of years; but the success so far is allowing them to continue development for improving the product.

Vorteile

Employee-data management with modern API´s and much functions connected to engagement and employeer branding.

The employee is in focus, not the admin department.

Nachteile

The product is still developing. It is a pro and a con at the same time. We missed some features in the beginning but new functions are built all the time.

Sympa

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Bob

The focus on employee and the modern tech.

Vorteile

Brilliantly designed, intuitive, easy to use for employees and People professionals. By far the biggest selling point though is the fact that Hibob is constantly developing new features which are actually based on customer feedback. All of the traditional HRS' i've used (e.g. BambooHR, Workday, Fairsail) are slow to respond to the needs of a changing HR/People function with an expanded remit (e.g. employee experience & wellbeing). Other challenger HRS (e.g. Namely, Charlie) only offer barebones features with a few gimmicks or are developing at the cost of platform stability. Hibob has unlimited ambition to actually fulfil the needs of the HR/People community

Nachteile

Occasional bugs due to there being a lot of new features (however these are few and far between and the longest i've ever waited for a fix is 36 hours), need to grow Customer Success team to ensure they can maintain same awesome levels of support.

Vorteile

I like how easy BOB is to use, how easy it is to contact someone at BOB if I have any troubles with the system. The look and feel works so well for our type of work place and BOB have helped us roll out the platform so effortlessly. I'm always finding out new things on BOB and I find the weekly emails from the BOB team explaining whenever something has been added helps us to discover more.

Nachteile

As a new piece of software there are some things that haven't yet been built. Although saying this the BOB team are always on hand if we want anything specifically added to fit our companies needs. We had slight trouble in the beginning with the calendar view and it not working in the way we have previously been used too. We spoke with the BOB software developers and they were able to help us fix this by creating a brand new calendar view which fitted with our needs.

Vorteile

The Support Team is extremely helpful. The user interface is user-friendly; you can easily navigate the system without training.With automated flows and task lists, onboarding and offboarding, as well as other processes, are made simple.

Nachteile

We are unable to obtain a monthly headcount report. There is no filter to remove those who had left the company but were still active each month.

Vorteile

It's a modern solution that integrates with many other apps we use. It's easy to use and easy to configure. It also has many features in one solution: Core HR, Compensation, Talent, Performance, Engagement, Analytics, and many others.

Nachteile

There are some specific features in Bob that would be ideal to improve but are not show stoppers. The 1:1 feature is a little clunky, no pro-ration in compensation management as two examples, providing permissions to a particular "permission group" to run reports and access only the data they have permission to.

Vorteile

It`s dynamic, it`s catchy (beautiful UI) and the product is constantly improving!

Nachteile

the functionalities that represent learning and development, training area, talent management and succession planning are currently missing

Vorteile

The aesthetic is fun and non-corporate. Users are encouraged to share their 'superpowers' which helps people to connect with others who have similar interests. The system is really easy to navigate and there are some useful integrations. The support team are always fast to respond to my questions and to tell me about new features, or what they are developing in the near future. You can enable/disable features to customise what you want to achieve with the system and what your current people priorities are.

Nachteile

There are some small additional features I'd like such as e-signatures, which I believe is coming soon. The support team are really responsive to feedback about features that would be useful.
