Considered Both Products
ELMO Software
Chose ELMO Software
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 …
Chose ELMO Software
ELMO is specifically an HR software and it is best suited for this
Chose ELMO Software
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.
Chose ELMO Software
Good modules set-up and ELMO components portfolio vs. budget (service agreement cost).
UZIO
Chose UZIO
Customer service is 5 star at UZIO. In our experience, because of the size of Gusto, you have to jump through so many hoops to get things rectified.
Chose UZIO
Compared to QuickBooks Online (QBO), UZIO has been a game changer. QBO refused to process our payroll due to our industry (cannabis), and even their accounting platform often takes ages to load. UZIO, on the other hand, runs quickly, has had no significant downtime from bugs or …
Chose UZIO
I really loved how Gusto would sync with our time-keeping app, Homebase. I hope in the future you guys will consider doing a sync so that payroll doesn't have to be entered manually.
Chose UZIO
When we first began to research payroll solutions for our retail cannabis dispensary in New Mexico, we considered a few options but ultimately decided on UZIO as it seemed to fit our smaller company size (10 to 12 people), the fee schedule was clear and easy to understand, and …
Chose UZIO
Uzio is not as advanced or aesthetically pleasing as the other three platforms. In my experience, I ad lots of troubles from this small company.
Chose UZIO
UZIO has a much smoother/easier workflow for benefits setup and management. The system is extremely user friendly and the platform is clean and easy to read. UZIO listens to client feedback and uses that information to improve the system and make it work better for users.
Chose UZIO
We have used StaffOne's portal. UZIO is much more intuitive and user friendly.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

Finding a reliable payroll service in cannabis has been difficult. I've used a number of payroll options throughout the past few years and the biggest problem encountered is that all previous payroll services evolve away from cannabis clients. UZIO was a great choice for us from the beginning of our search

Pros
  • Has extensive courses library (theory and video library).
  • Very responsive, resourceful and efficient support team.
  • Stuff survey - great range of available templates.
Read full review
  • Manages benefit enrollment for new hires, status changes, and open enrollment.
  • Houses documents, where we can store company policies and employee-specific documents.
  • Offers reporting for payroll, billing, etc.
Read full review
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).
Read full review
  • We have a shift that crosses midnight and the system resets OT calculation when it becomes a new day, but in CA OT is calculated on hours worked and doesn’t split a shift at midnight for OT purposes. So far they have been unable to address this as it's not an issue in other states.
  • Holiday Pay has been an issue because of our policy - too many changing variables to create a process. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust holiday pay on the employee's timesheet. That would be the simplest solution but so far that hasn't happened.
  • Non-US Citizen beneficiary. This is not an option when electing benefits. Not a big deal unless you have employees with families abroad. We had one and we created a work around.
  • Everything has to be downloaded. You cannot click on an employee's pay stub (for example) and view it within UZIO. It must be downloaded to your computer. Not a big deal - just takes more time and more files to delete on your computer.

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.

Has some blips that have been stated throughout this review that can be fixed, I do not want to fully repeat myself however a more intuitive interface, interface that does not lag, and then glitches with service would be ideal. That's about all I can say on the matter, pertaining to what I have access to in my org.

Support Rating
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.

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
