Insights

Avantages

Inisghts is excellent HR software but way more than what we needed. It has loads of features and is easy to use.

Inconvénients

It's designed for larger companies. Not really that useful for a small 20 person startup.

Avantages

Insights combines and simplifies the performance and feedback cycle.
Mission and vision, values and behaviors become regular topics of conversation.
using the system is far easier than doing rigorous annual performance reviews.
Clicking the buttons fun and easy.
It is structured but allow for a lot of commenting which is very helpful.
Not intimidating to use.

Inconvénients

Since I already meet with staff weekly, sometimes the monthly meeting feels too frequent.
We are not there yet but would like to use the system to tie into compensation. It would be good for the system to have a built-in way to do that.

Pourquoi passer à Insights

Avantages

I like the fact that the software is fairly 'light' in that the user interface isn't terribly heavy or requiring of multiple steps to complete a task as do many other programs. Also, I appreciate the different tact of Behind, OnTrack and Ahead as it introduces a fuller conversation - which is ultimately the end goal.

Inconvénients

1) Completing a quarterly review and not having the individual employee review actually complete; bouncing back saying it wasn't done and sending out alerts to mgr and employee.
2) Displaying all the archive information when doing quarterly reviews - introducing visual clutter
3) Ease of finding simple things - last quarter's information
4) Syncing with calendar; Once a quarterly review was set and moved in laptop calendar, the EOY review didn't reschedule as expected.
5) Comment box has no line spacing - which looks like a uni-blob
6) Goals and responsibilities cannot be copied for next year
7) Formatting in the comment box beyond line spacing

Avantages

I like that it tracks feedback month over month; I like that its very user friendly.

Inconvénients

If you click out of a comment before saving, you lose the entirety of the comment. It's also hard to navigate between comments on a review.

Avantages

It helps to stay organized with documenting performance improvement and tracking quality within the organization. It allows us to keep track of our progress, notes, to do list, track dates, goals, and current status.

Inconvénients

I would like to see a cross from the Quality tracking and the performance improvement side, where at least quarterly, if not monthly we could track our improvement on a Process improvement plan and be able to pick a quality measure and it automatically pull from the Casper (quality) tracking of the MDS, or manually inputted. At this time, we are graphing manually with a separate system.

Avantages

#1 favorite component is the "meet" functionality. The pre-meet or "prep" is a great tool for both employees and managers. #2 Fav: Employees can easily align their goals to company strategies creating the elusive line of sight and the tool allows everyone to see how the collective organization is trending toward those strategies. #3 Fav: Core Behaviors (aka values) are included in the review or "meet" process. It keeps them front and center and creates a space to discuss how they are lived (or not) by the individual.

Inconvénients

My only con is the back end. Set up is easy but reporting is challenging. The support team is SO open to customer feedback and share their roadmap so I know this is one area that will see improvement in the near term. From an end user perspective it's pretty easy, clean experience.

Avantages

I love OpaConnect because it allows me to communicate regularly with a team of consultants who all work remotely. I can easily see what projects they are working on, it helps guide our conversations so they stay on track, and is an easy way to tie individual goals and responsibilities into the bigger picture. OpaConnect allows me to set deliverables and expectations that are clear and provides a structure for more regular, meaningful conversations.

Inconvénients

I would like to see OpaConnect more integrated with my Outlook calendar. While it does place the meeting on my calendar, I don't have insight into open timeframes for both parties when setting up a new meeting.

Avantages

Scheduling your 1:1s is easy.
Going through your 1:1s is organized and easy to follow
Linking your goals to de company goals is very useful
Having to come up with things to measure if you are behind, on track or ahead gives you goal more accountability
Customer support is fast and friendly

Inconvénients

There is no email notifications so it's hard to remember when you have to do something
Most of the company shares the indian culture way of doing performance reviews, which is by rating, they should offer some kind of change management advice to deal with this kind of cultural issues

Avantages

It intergrates into other systems I use at my company.

Inconvénients

The Performance review is not nuanced enough.

Avantages

Its easy and very clear to use, I didn't know we used it in our company thats why I hadn't used it before

Inconvénients

none so far, I didn't know we had it or what was it before.

Avantages

I like that we can see the shout outs for the company. We can also see the responsibilities we all share.

Inconvénients

Didn't allow me to copy /paste information.

Avantages

-Costumer service was great when my appt crashed
-Secure, done through the company

Inconvénients

-app crashes sometimes
-no feature to save numbers

Avantages

It's visually appealing. I can tell this might be useful for some positions but it doesn't work with everyone. The ratings system becomes meaningless even after using the system for only two 1:1 meetings.

Inconvénients

The ratings system - by the time I've done 12 1:1 meetings with a staff member, they have rated themselves 12 times on the same points. The rating system becomes meaningless.
System is not intuitive - no way to delete responsibilities/goals, must archive and then the items still show up every month.
Square peg/round hole for many staff members - one size does not fit all.
Goals - if one of your goals requires another person to do something for you to accomplish your goal, such as taking over a responsibility, you are destined to fail if they don't hold up their end.

Avantages

It's easy to use and provides all the required parameters to evaluate the performance.

Inconvénients

It should be responsive and mobile device compatible.

Avantages

Good front end interface detailing goals and responsibilities. easy click to functionalities allowing to add/edit items. good options to perform manager employee review.

Inconvénients

more options to add details about goals/responsibilities. comments section doesnt justify the detail capturing option.

Avantages

I love how this allows managers and employees to have the discussions they need to be having, about not just tasks, but also overall company goals and organizational values. If every workplace used this, it would be a very different world!

Inconvénients

The user interface isn't as streamlined or as clean as one might hope for. It's also not so easy to use with alternative input devices (voice recognition software, or with keyboard instead of mouse).

Avantages

I don't see any pros or usage of this software

Inconvénients

It is very difficult to track the reviews, goals and ratings given for a resource and the dashboard is missing.
For a new user it is very very complex to understand it and we have to adjust ourselves to use your non-sense features.

Avantages

We can track individual and team goals.
Create tasks for a goal.
We can let colleagues see what we're upto.
Timely track our goals to align what company requirement is.

Inconvénients

For beginner it needs to be more user friendly.
First timers will need to make themselves comfortable using this, they need to move around to get a feel what its trying to do and how can you use it.
Goal tracking is measured on three levels only, there should be more.
Once a goal is created, it can not be deleted, not even by supervisor. So if you make a mistake, it'll always haunt you on your front page.

Avantages

Easy way to connect and collaborate with co workers in the organization.

Inconvénients

Sometimes important things that you don't want others see. They can see it anytime with your co- workers.

Avantages

Very easy to navigate and user friendly.

Inconvénients

None that I have come across as of yet as a user.

Avantages

The way it connects managers and developers interactions

Inconvénients

Process is bit difficut,the preparation process

Avantages

Good Tool to start with, best for organizations with less number of people.

Inconvénients

Giving the ratings as on Track that is not best enough. There would be times where you need to vary from the ones that you had given. Need to give features to Admin, to input the requirements as per Organization. I am not sure if this exists, as I am only an End user.

Avantages

Ease of use. Iser friendly interface, workflow enabled

Inconvénients

Slow response some time and sometimes page refreshes pretty slowly

Avantages

Good for tracking all review activities
Easy to maintain records

Inconvénients

no Option to discard once user submitted feed back.

Avantages

Giving an appraisal using this tool very easy and helping each individual in achieving their goals set for monthly or quarterly.

Inconvénients

The annual ratings which are given to an individual are not displayed for the reviewer and also to the individual monthly or quarterly basis.
