Considered Both Products
HiBob
Chose HiBob
HiBob is solid, again for a 50 - 250 or so employer. I perfer ADP Workforce Now because it has more robust features, however, HiBob can house international employee's data, which is why we went with it
Chose HiBob
I don't remember the names of other similar products that I have used as I am not in HR so I don't work with it daily and didn't evaluate the products. But! I am in UX, and I can tell you that from that perspective, HiBob is really head and shoulders above the rest. If you are …
Chose HiBob
HiBob balances functionality, usability, pricing and client control to a much greater level than other systems. Enterprise systems such as SAP and Oracle offer greater functionality but at a much greater cost. Similar offerings from BambooHR, Dayforce and Workday are lacking in …
Chose HiBob
I am being repetitive, but it’s really high adaptability is what makes the difference.

Other system are not so customisable or flexible when it comes to generate data or create forms for instance.
Chose HiBob
We used Small Improvements for our 1-1s and annual reviews before using Hibob. It worked for us, but nothing beats one login for all of our people processes. Key efficiencies for the win!
Chose HiBob
mostly because of the user friendly it is. you or your employees can't get wrong. it is super intuitive.
has all the relevant data to manage your human source at the company
great support team, although I had some troubles when you can get your CSM over the phone when it is …
Chose HiBob
BambooHR is a great platform for small business but we found it wasn't conducive to our organization as we began to grow. While very user friendly, the Performance Management was limited and basic. HiBob has a better social platform where employees can be publicly recognized. …
Chose HiBob
I used this in my previous job and the system was internal so hard to say but completley different in the fact Hibob has a 'familiar' and friendlier feel - almost feels like a social media page and it is much more inviting for new employee and current. It also gives employees …
Chose HiBob
HIbob is customisable and fun and really personal which is great for us as a business as we like to keep our tone of voice throughout our communications. Deel is great for various uses but doesn't have the same customisable options. HIbob is also super user friendly. None of …
Chose HiBob
Hibob has more customizable performance management, employee surveys, and PTO cycles than most of the tools I've evaluated. Hibob also includes many features for one-on-one tracking, Slack integration, and employee engagement (Kudos/Accounements/Polls) that other platforms …
Chose HiBob
In comparison to SAP, Hibob stands out hugely because of its user-friendliness.
Chose HiBob
N/A, HiBob is the first HRIS I have used, but despite that, as a first-time Admin I find it very user-friendly.
Chose HiBob
I love Bamboo HR but according to me, it is suited more for small or medium size companies. Bamboo HR is less custom. The survey, compensation, and performance module are better on HiBob. However, maybe Hibob has this option but we don't use it in my current company, but …
Chose HiBob
Hibob was ultimately more flexible and offered a strong customer support network which is why we selected it over others. It's also well-priced and while not "cheap", it was more inexpensive than other larger systems. Their sales team was so supportive the entire time and as we …
Chose HiBob
We looked at multiple products that cover different areas of P&C. We liked that Hibob did the job of many platforms.
Chose HiBob
Hibob is much easier to use than Oracle Cloud. The UE is much better - from the look of the home page to finding where to book leave or set goals etc, it is much better. I would also say that it is better in that you can set up flows so you get automatic reminders for certain …
Chose HiBob
We used Breathe before and it had incredibly basic functionality. It's hard to compare because there's a big difference in price point - but no one interacted with Breathe and it was only used for tracking holidays.
Chose HiBob
Namely did not have connected modules, so it was difficult to manage data across the different sites. They didn't have a large suite of API connections. Workday required technical experts to code and manage everything, is not user-friendly, and did not have historical data …
Chose HiBob
Hibob has a lot more features than PeopleHR. Just missing the overtime and expenses calculation
Hibob is much more user friendly than our previous system, it is prettier, much more customisable and to be used similarly to a social media platform has really helped people engage …
Chose HiBob
Hibob is a lot more user-friendly than other HRIS
Top-of-the-line customer service
Constantly updates the different offered modules
Chose HiBob
We quickly outgrew our old HRIS, Breathe. Hibob was scalable, whereas we had reached user capacity with Breathe. We couldn't customise employee fields, permissions, or reports which made things like payroll and integration very challenging. All of these issues were resolved …
Chose HiBob
Hibob offers a lot of features and customization compared to BambooHR. You can have workflows only apply to select groupings of employees, whether by location, job type, or a custom group. It has built in surveys that you can customize; I had to use an expensive external system …
Visier People
Chose Visier People
Tableau was much slower than Visier People when trying to add or change filters, especially for the amount of data we were visualizing. It was good for housing data/creating different tables, but not good for visualization. we could create very basic charts in our dashboards, …
Chose Visier People
QlikView and Azure SQL Database
Chose Visier People
Visier People is more scalable as a platform. It also has more out of the box metrics. It's large user base allows for more meaningful benchmarks. The security model of Visier is very robust.
Chose Visier People
Visier is superior to Microsoft Power BI.

Support is great in Visier People, It is much easier to use, it adds a great value compared to other applications/platforms and the analytics of the platform are really wonderful.
Chose Visier People
Visier People simplifies and automates the most time consuming parts of the people analytic processes. The unique thing about Visier is that it makes things easier for many departments in the company including the IT, finance and the HR departments mainly. It also helps team …
Chose Visier People
We chose Visier People since it offers technology to effectively optimize and streamline our workforce. Visier People can also store a detailed and large database of employees from various departments within a company. By connecting all the right people and business data to …
Chose Visier People
The one downside of ADP, would be the enhancements that they do. The last couple that have been rolled out have not provided the service that they expected- leading to functions within ADP not working correctly or not working at all.
Chose Visier People
Our business has experimented with the use of Skedulo, but it has not stacked up against Visier People, as we don't get the luxury of the nicely recorded data that Visier People gives us. We have been able to record important information day-to-day due to the use of Visier …
Chose Visier People
We don't have experience with any similar products.
Chose Visier People
We worked with lattice before Visier and their focus was more in the organizational charts and providing clarity on the chain of command.

Visier is more focused on the roles and tasks and is better prepared for more flexible and agile organizations. It's a more complete tool and …
Chose Visier People
Visier People has their biggest benefit in their analytics capabilities when compared to CompAnalyst. The customizable dashboard with the insights can help managers and HR partners track their workforce. In CompAnalyst such features are not customizable and are limited to …
Chose Visier People
Among the top software compared to other competitors. The support for this software vs competitors' is much better and far exceeds any other option out there.
Chose Visier People
We have considered other software that can analyze the performance of each employee but they have never been as accurate as Visier has been, this platform is very detailed and there is no problem in understanding the data since all the information is clear and precise. Visier …
Chose Visier People
Oracle HCM, Workday HCM, and PeopleSoft are more comprehensive and most suited for large organizations, while Visier is more suited for smaller organizations. Visier is also well suited as an add-on to existing ERP/HRMS/HCM solutions. Visier takes more effort and IT resources …
Chose Visier People
We haven't seen any major competitor to Visier in the market that meets or surpasses Visier; UltiPro has some reporting functionality but it requires customization.
Chose Visier People
Visier makes it SO MUCH EASIER to put power in the hands of end users. I could also never build the incredible analysis tools like Movement Summaries and Drivers Charts like Visier has. Visier takes so much data management pressure off so all you have to worry about is end users.
Chose Visier People
The primary drivers for our selection of Visier:
  • Pre-built guidebooks and questions
  • "Easy" and swift implementation
Chose Visier People
Our company started with a shotgun approach and I personally evaluated over 20 different vendors. The first thing I noticed about Visier is their responsiveness and curiosity. They asked smart questions that spoke to what our company was trying to achieve. The vendor …
Chose Visier People
PRISM is awesome, and JPL did procure PRISM recently to supplement our core Workday HCM. However, PRISM is not analytics. It can help you GET to analytics (if you're willing and able to build it) because PRISM is basically an ETL tool that works specifically with your Workday …

The system is very well suited for the stage we are at as a company. We did a lot via Excel and old processes, but once we hit the 100-person mark, our work would have been challenging to execute without Hibob. We eliminated 3 systems by consolidating to the one Hibob system - it was almost a cost-neutral swap for us.

This solution, prepared mail for the HR departments, is definitely well suited for decision making. This means that Visier enhances data analysis and drives planning, metrics, and business results to the next level. The ability to transform databases of employees' data (for example) into interactive, clear, and detailed reports supports and upgrades the current decision-making process.

Pros
  • It is extremely flexible and can be modified to fit most of our processes.
  • It's an easy UI to use and looks very nice as well.
  • I like that there is options like Superpowers and Hobbies to get to know our employees more than just their work details.

  • Visier does an excellent job providing summary charts and graphs of people data, including turnover, job information, and diversity and inclusion statistics.
  • Visier is flexible in setting up data feeds between various systems to ensure all of our data is accessible in one system. For example, we have a data connector between our market pricing, HCM, and recruiting systems.
  • Visier has an intuitive and user-friendly interface that empowers line managers and HR partners to use the system. Managers and HR partners can easily share data with other users.

Cons
  • Tasks - For something like onboarding, I wish there was a way to set up the tasks so that the person setting up the employee profile would be the only person to get the assigned tasks. It's hard to describe but for example, if there are multiple on-boarders on the team, is there a way to set up the tasks so that technically every on-boarder would be assigned to the task, but the person setting up the profile is the one that triggers the task for themselves.
  • Reports - I find pulling reports a bit complicated, especially if I am asked to pull data that involves info being located in different areas of an employee profile. For example, for a couple of months, I thought it was impossible to pull a variable pay report along with the base salary (in one report rather than pull two separate reports) only to find out that you can do that via the Total Compensation report. Also when I have to pull data for headcount since a certain day, I wish you can make the settings so that data can appear after a certain day, rather than sorting it manually via Excel/Google sheets.
  • Timesheet - I love the functionality of the timesheet that hibob provided, but I also wish they included an option where people can set up predicted work schedules for future dates. Currently, the timesheets are ideals for scenarios where employees time in and out of work.

  • Technical Deadlines Often Missed: On several occasions during data onboarding, or applying fixes to data, communicated deadlines were missed by 24-48 hours.
  • Security can be convoluted, but is effective.
  • Built on Flash and the only native mobile apps are for iPad (iPhone forthcoming).

We will without a doubt be continuing to use Hibob, it is convenient, being engaged with and great value for money. A one stop shop for all things HR related to keep policies and safe financial information has been so beneficial to the business meaning less risk to GDPR breaches and somewhere for employees to refer back to in future has been invaluable

Usability
It's a solid HRIS system, it's user friendly to employees and employers, but they've changed the user interface 2 times now in the last 2.5 years, so having to find where certain things are after the change can be tedious

Visier People makes it very easy for all end users to go in and see, pull, or dig in to their data where previously my team would have to pull or schedule a report of the data to each user. It is also very fast in updating charts/analyses when changing or adding filters, which makes the ease of use better. Last, the charts and analyses are very visually appeasing, making users want to use the platform more.

Support Rating
A lot of support is self-service from the users themselves, via a guide hosted on HiBob's website. I have found the guide helpful 10% of the time when I needed support. The support team is quite quick to reply, but not everyone is helpful unfortunately, and in many cases a lot of emails, messages and back and forth were needed to get to the bottom of an issue. When I pointed out that a video call would be a quicker way to tell people "this is how it's done", I was told that it's not the way they deliver support. I had to beg our account managers for a video chat with some skilled users to show me how to do certain things that (a) were nowhere to be found on the guide, and (b) the support team wasn't able to solve. Additionally, to find solutions, I was pointed to a forum where other users exchange tips on how they managed to solve problems - again, not really helpful as I would like to know this from Bob's team themselves since we're paying for the product, and I shouldn't rely on other users to tell me how they managed their way around a problem

Visier can move as quickly or as slowly as the client needs. The topic-by-topic approach separates the project in clear phases and allows for focus on specific data. Depending on the size of the implementation team, implementation could move more rapidly if the subject matter experts are responsible for the individual topic data sets.

Alternatives Considered
HiBob balances functionality, usability, pricing and client control to a much greater level than other systems. Enterprise systems such as SAP and Oracle offer greater functionality but at a much greater cost. Similar offerings from BambooHR, Dayforce and Workday are lacking in their functionality, user experience, pricing or customizability. Overall, the Customer Support experience with HiBob is now, and always has been out of this world in terms of response times, helpfulness and a strong willingness to adapt to the client requirements in terms of feature implementation and roadmapping.

Return on Investment
  • Our HR Coordinator is the main administrator and is the go-to for all thing Bob. This has freed up time for me (VP) and for our HR Manager to spend time on strategy and implementation of employee experience programs. Before HiBob, our HR Manager spent approximately 20% of her time on administrative items that Bob takes care of in minutes and I would have spent around 10% of my time on Performance Management. We invest around $20k in HiBob, but it has saved us approximately $45k in time. So, an ROI of $25,000.
