HiBob vs. Workday Prism Analytics

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.

In my organization, we mainly use Workday Prism Analytics in HR and Finance departments. It not only enables us to make data-centric decisions but also helps reduce the need for data experts since we are able to visualize data on our own through self-service analytics.

• 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.

• It's web based. No need to install any desktop clients on your machine to use platfora.
• It's best suited for a big data Hadoop environment. I can rate it as the #1 BI tool for a big data hadoop environment.
• Platfora follows kind of the same architecture as Hadoop architecture like Master and Slave architecture. It scales with the data volumes.
• Querying data is very good and very fast. (Platfora Lens)
• Client presentation wise it's good. You can get different kinds of graphs.
• Platfora almost supports everything on Big Data technologies including file formats, compression etc.
• Security is not compromised and it can deal in parallel with any Hadoop distributor security implementations. Just take an example of Knox on Hortonworks, so it will deal with that and cloudera , MapR
• Its very easily understandable and for the new people who wants to try platfora, learning curve is low
• You can create your own datasets in platfora. You can store your results as a dataset in platfora and can share across

• 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.

• Data Movement - Data needs to be moved from Hadoop to Platfora to create Platfora Lens and to do analytics.
• To support Data movement, infrastructure cost is high.
• To support data movement, network bandwidth consumption is high.
• No trial versions for companies to evaluate.

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

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

Yes they are always there when we need them. Fast response time too.

Yes the system is fast and easy to use.

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

It was fast and easy to learn with the trainer. Their staff was great to work with.

I really enjoyed the implementation being involved in a key piece of change management int he business was really exciting

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.

Both are great products. The advantage of SAP Workforce Analytics is that it's widely interoperable between different APIs and databases. Having said that, Workday Prism Analytics scores much better in user-friendliness and the learning curve for the teams to start using it is very low. If Workday enhances its APIs functionality, it can compete easily with SAP Workforce Analytics.

It is easy to use across the board for all departments in the company.

• 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.

• Improved ROI by decreasing the necessary time investment that managers must make to upkeep employee data sectors.
• Improved ease of access for employees, reducing unnecessary communication between employees and management.
• Has led to fewer accounting errors overall.
