Irritating that you can't see what a person has accrued to date with holiday, it only calculates the entire year.
Saves me a lot of time compared to running everything through google docs and spreadsheets. The UX is superb and it is beautifully designed.
The UX is not always very intuitive. Many users have complained about not being able to find the right option/page in the place they think it should be.
Very easy to use and with a great interface and ux. The onboarding is pretty awesome.
The UX can be confusing at times, often the option I'm looking for isn't in the place I would expect it to be.
It compiles all the information you need with just a few clicks and it's so easy to set up new users. It's a great product, definitely recommend.
Some notifications (birthdays, work anniversaries) don't show up. Some of the settings are difficult to navigate.
Overall, I find Proliant to be simple and efficient. I have been a fan of the ease of use of ReadyPay for awhile and this newer updated version is just as good.
The system is a few different systems parsed together so there is not a clear and uniform flow from one area to the other. Overall, Proliant was one of the worst mistakes that we ever made.
The set-up was quick and efficient. The staff is great to work with when you need to speak to someone - responsive and pleasant.
Proliant was a terrible decision. Nothing with them went to plan and we were never technically fully moved out of implementation even though we spent two plus years with them.
As a happy user of Proliant, I love its automation tools and the ability to customize workflows and reports.
The multi-factor authentication also makes me a little nuts. Because my browser is set to limit cookies, I have to log in, get a code from my email, then answer three questions every time I log in.
Even on the more challenging days of payroll (LOL) I am able to process payroll in a relatively short amount of time (providing everything works like it should. This is a fabulous payroll system.
There was quite a few 'back of the house' errors that happened as our program was set up that we encountered as I was trying to process payroll.
Gus: Hey, I'm Gus. I'm the co-founder and I give CharlieHR a four out of five. For more reviews like this, click below. Before we started using CharlieHR, we used an amalgamation of QuickBooks for management of payroll, and spreadsheet for holiday tracking, and then just general shared messages or docs around peoples' names, locations and other things, and honestly it was a pain in the ass, and so we turned to CharlieHR... or the initial impetus was to turn to HR Platform and that ended up being CharlieHR. We needed to find a pretty basic platform in all honesty. It needed to do the most simple things you need from an HR platform. We didn't have that many niche use cases, and so for us it was a pretty strong price comparison leaning, and CharlieHR has a great start-off discount, so we looked at that. We considered a bunch of alternatives but I think beyond price, what sold us on CharlieHR was just their ease of use. Getting started with CharlieHR was super easy. They have a great onboarding call and setting up the account is pretty easy to do too. It's nice that it's not too enterprisey and therefore it's pretty lightweight. It doesn't feel like there's a million screens you have to go through to be able to achieve anything, and getting the team onboarded was pretty easy. It sends out an email to everyone, and people were pretty happy signing up for it, especially when they discovered that there was a rewards page which gave them a bunch of discounts that they didn't otherwise have. So yeah, it was pretty easy onboarding. CharlieHR is super easy to use and I think that there aren't... there's only one reason which comes to mind in not getting it. Well, actually maybe two, let's say, the first of which is they don't have an API. I know this is something they're working on, but we did find this frustrating when trying to integrate with our office management platform and other platforms like that. It's just great having an API to our HR data. The second thing is it's not necessarily the most beautiful product in all places. It feels quite like straight out of their design library, but I think that's the product part of me just speaking. I think from a practicality point of view it nails that, so maybe it's only really one reason after all, but yeah, I would definitely get it.
