Workday is another really useful tool but there are some features in ELMO that make it stand out. ELMO is also much easier to use.

isolved was superior to all of these in every way. It really was like a one-stop shop for us for everything the HR team needed and was extremely user friendly for our employees and managers. I cannot speak highly enough about this platform especially when comparing to other …

iSolved provides a much more complete service at a very competitive price. We are completely satisfied. We have no need to contact anyone else.

In the car business Reynolds is very popular program. It is however not up to date or speed with all of the HR/Payroll needs of all of our companies. Its designed more for the sales and service side of business. I get sales calls and visits weekly from all the major competitors …

You can win me over, regardless of cost, by having great customer service, and this company nails it time and time again.
Chose isolved
isolved stands up to the systems I have used in the past. It's easier to use in my opinion.
Chose isolved
Having both payroll and timekeeping in one system is great. You just really have to watch the permissions. When it's separate, there is no chance of a Lead seeing something they shouldn't so when it's together you have to set things up correctly.
Chose isolved
Not even comparable. I used Workday and Smart Track simultaneously and it was a nightmare. Workday is not user friendly. It is almost impossible to learn on your own. Smart Track was not a horrible system, but because it required us to also use Workday it made me dislike it. …

isolved provides a system and capabilities right at the sweet spot for our organizations. It is not overly complex and feature laden as to make it confusing and complex. On the other hand, it is fully functional and effective at the core requirements of HR and payroll without …

isolved does have a lot of capabilities, but in my experience, smaller businesses tend to like Prism better - its more simplified.

Not even in the same ballpark. Vfficient was an exercise in frustration and a poorly designed system with very little flexibility. isolved was the exact opposite and was excactly what we needed from the minute it was installed.
Chose isolved
Asure was a very small business platform with a very weak tax engine, so isolved has been a huge improvement for us. I would say in comparison to Proliant, isolved lacks on the report writer, true SSO with Employee Navigator and the report writer.
UKG is similar in the sense of …
Chose isolved
I've used a couple other payroll products in the past......they do not rise up to the efficiencies and top notch customer support isolved does.
Chose isolved
isolved payroll is more affordable than Paychex payroll. Paychex HR is more affordable than isolved HR. Toast payroll is more complicated than isolved. Toast doesn't offer much HR service. Paycom is much more like self-service, which the support is not as great as isolved.
Chose isolved
A much more user-friendly system for the standard user and reporting ability.
Chose isolved

The performance review process is clear and easy to complete, for both employee and manager. I have experienced this in both roles, with my own staff, and undergoing my own review with my manager. I haven't experienced scenarios where it is less appropriate, I think our HR department customised the software well to our needs.

There is always room for improvements and updates. More workflows and ways to make the process easier for both employees and managers as well as the HR department. More functionality improvements vs esthetics as the platform already looks great. More ways for a manager to be involved with their employees without having to add separate module.

  • The system enables employees to access their own data and perform their own leave management and pay maintenance without risk.
  • The data analysis and reporting/data export functions are second to none. It allows access to and manipulation of fully relational employee records and information.

Cons
  • Help seems unavailable.
  • A guide or how-to would be extremely appreciated - I haven't found any, at least for user level.
  • User interface could follow a more standard/familiar approach.
  • Some panes should be collapsible (e.g. the right "Work Flow" area, which gives very little help).

  • More reminder notifications would be great!
  • A way to email hiring managers and our IT department at the same time with a template would save us from so much email communication
  • Transfer all attached documents such as interview notes from iHired applicants to isolved employee documents would save us time uploading into multiple places

Due to the continued problems (time clock disconnects, regular post-update issues) and users' negative attitude, we are unlikely to renew. Another important factor is that TF is US-centric, so it does not account for local Philippine specifics, which is important to us.

Usability
Once I learned the specific way of doing things, the software became very logical and ergonomic. It is easy to use and is an excellent resource for many of the specific tasks required for my role, especially in relation to staff onboarding and management. It is also excellent as a resource for my own personal HR information.

It is very intuitive and user friendly. iSolved is always updating and improving things before they even become a problem. I like how they inform us of the new updates and provide us with the details of what is changing and how it will improve the usuage.

Payroll due dates and send to us at the beginning of the year, with email reminders for holidays. The support email address is fairly fast, within 24-48 hours. But if something is needed immediately, I can just call and they help me out right then.

We do not use the integration, so we have a csv file that I upload manually for payroll. That is our decision based on the software at our restaurants. Pages loaded fairly quickly, but reports to pdf lag about 15-20 seconds

I am not sure whether you are asking how the learning & development team rates ELMO Software or how ELMO supports our team when issues arise with the software? It is not my decision to purchase the software nor am I involved with the maintenance of the software.

Super supportive and courteous. The initial set up and integration process was great. They helped every step of the way. They are great to get a hold of by email or phone and will find a solution. I have never run into any issues that they couldn't resolve. They make it easy to add or change processes when needed.

We loved taking the course, we went through most of them before we went live and I believe that was very helpful. The online training helped us learn to navigate in the program. We still refer to the training and assign our managers and supervisors to it as well. I highly recommend using it. We have also been able to attend the Connect Conferences with are extremely valuable and we learn tips and tricks to help us better utilize our system.

The system was very cumbersome setting up as well as time consuming. There were times I just wanted to walk away and sometimes I did have to get up and walk away for a break and come back with a fresh perspective. The setup took me over a period of two to three months getting it to serve the purposes that we needed it two. I am very intuitive when it comes to computer software however getting all the right buttons checked in order for it to do what I needed didn't always work.

Aspen is more straightforward in creating a course of personal development recognized by our industry, but your ELMO Software is generally easier to use. As the workforce in our company is very often built by the majority of people with basic academic background education, IE they often have only just completed year 10... it is very important your element of making it easy to understand, using simple words and clear explained multiple choices in the final quiz

I used the other platforms in previous companies. isolved was in place when I started here 3 years ago. I found the system effective for the amount of staff we have. In previous roles I worked with larger groups and I am not sure in a restaurant industry or company of 1500 employees isolved is the right fit.

We are a company of about 135 people at 9 locations in 2 towns. We were able to set locations and departments, and also have each location seperate so only that manager can see their employees.

  • Electronic Timecards in the app - less room for error manually figuring punch cards and better use of time management.
  • Available Reports streamline my workload - Employee data, payroll records all at the click of a button in a report. Weekly, Quarterly and Year End data is easy access for all companies on one site.
  • 90% Positive 10% negative on using personal cell phones for the app to clock in and out. Can't make everyone happy 100% of the time... we try though!
  • Positive impact on employees with the security settings on their phone. They didn't like the hassle in the beginning, but understood why it was important to protect their data.
