Workday HCM vs PurelyHR: Which is a better fit?

Christos: My name is Christos. I am a senior compensation analyst, and I work for Braze Incorporated. And the headcount, I can give as well, which is 1,500 employees. Workday HCM, I would give a four out of five. Workday HCM is used for our payroll services within the company as just a generality. We use it to keep track of leave of absence, time off, bonus requests, just various different HR systems, things that we need. However, now we are using it to store salary bands, and that's more of where I come into play, where we're building out bands and storing them within job descriptions and job profiles within each individual employee and department. I just really enjoy the user-friendliness of the platform. It's really easy to navigate between the landing pages. Even for the compensation team, we have our comp dashboard, which allows us to pull this various reports that we're looking for, so that's very helpful and intuitive. But even as a user of just even being an employee of the company, it's very easy to go through my compensation, my pay history, my pay stubs, my bonus cycles, even just my managerial tree. It's an easy to navigate system, which I can appreciate. Especially if someone hasn't seen it before, it's easy to teach. I'm not necessarily the systems expert when it comes to loading in data and whatnot, but we do use a separate system for our comp cycles, which I understand can happen in Workday. However, from my experience, the reason why it wasn't a five out of five is just the way that the two systems read off each other. For me, Workday, even though it's intuitive when it comes to loading data, it's very fickle in certain circumstances since I've used it for the last three years, and I would just like to see a little bit more improvement in being able to be more modified towards these new systems that we're using, like the AQMS and the Oracles. I just found it rather difficult to... It's been the same for a while. I'd like to see a little bit more uplift when it comes to the loading of data. However, with that being said, I know there's room for improvement just from the platform's perspective on that, from a system side.

Jeanette: Hi, I'm Jeanette. I'm an executive director. And I give PurelyHR a four out of five stars. For more reviews like this, click below. We actually switched from Zenefits before we moved to PurelyHR, and we found Zenefits, it did its job, but it was very complicated. It was not user-friendly. It was hard for my I staff to input their own information. And we found that Purely really does a better job at that. Well, we chose Purely because it was user-friendly. It allowed each and every user to be sure to be able to enter their own information. So we didn't have to have a dedicated HR manager to enter every single detail. And it does allow us to be sure that users get their vacation, count it on time every year, and their banked time can be added up properly. And we really appreciate the being able to schedule it that way. Purely what's pretty easy to onboard. It's got ways that we can let everybody set up their own information. They did provide help setting up our company standards and the way that we add up our time off every year. They did provide help to do that for us because we found it a little complicated, but they logged into the computer and did it for us, so that was just much easier. I think if you want a program that's going to be easy for everyone to operate, your HR personnel and the individual employee who needs to be able to see how much time they have left and put in for their time off easily on their own time, I think purely is a great option.
