Bamboo HR is one of the best systems on the market for small businesses, but that doesn't necessarily make it the best choice for your business. Keep watching to learn more about the HR software vendors you should compare to Bamboo HR, or use our product selection tool at technologyadvice.com to request a free personalized short list of HR software recommendations. First up is Zenefits, a cloud-based human resources information system that includes benefits administration, time and attendance management, stock options, and more.
This is a perfect HRIS for small businesses due to its ease of use and flexible pricing model. Select one of three base plans, then choose from one of three add-ons: payroll, advisory services, and benefits admin. Even if you don't include add-ons, the lowest-priced base plan includes the following features: hiring and onboarding, employee system of record, company directory and org chart, document management, and reporting. Zenefits remains a great HR system, but many users have reported long wait times for customer support.
Keep this in mind if you're new software. Cezanne is a global HR software that allows companies to manage their human resources via cloud deployment. Geared towards growing and mid-sized enterprises, Cezanne goes beyond PTO management by offering performance management, online recruiting, time tracking, and payroll integration. One of the features worth taking a closer look at is the HR portal and social workspaces. Think of this as a sort of work-related Facebook feed.
Cezanne also includes basic features common to HRIS software like employee self-service, training and development, disciplinary and grievance, and health and safety. One drawback of Cezanne is that it doesn't currently offer full-service payroll. However, Cezanne does offer an integrated payroll option for companies in the UK. Namely is a cloud-based platform for growing companies. This solution offers a variety of features including employee database and employee profiles, time and attendance tracking, company calendar, reporting, social newsfeed, and onboarding.
The biggest selling point of Namely? Full-service payroll. Process payroll, run reports, and withhold taxes, all without leaving Namely. The major downside of Namely is its lack of a learning management feature, though it does integrate with LMS systems like Saba and Cornerstone On Demand. Zoho People is the HRIS offering from Indian software giant Zoho. This is an affordable all-in-one HR solution with a clean user interface. Zoho People works great for small and medium-sized businesses, but it also scales to meet the needs of larger organizations.
Some of its many features include employee database, onboarding, attendance tracking, PTO requests, timesheets, and shift scheduling. Like other Zoho products, Zoho People offers a lot of freedom for customization. This is good, but it can also be a point of frustration for companies looking for a system that's quick and easy to implement. Workday was developed as a next-generation enterprise-grade technology. This system was designed from the ground up as a software-as-a-service alternative to more traditional on-premise systems like Oracle PeopleSoft.
Some of Workday's most notable features include financial management, human capital management, service automation, student solutions, and analytics. Workday is made for medium to large enterprises, so it can be challenging to implement. The system also tends to run slow compared to other vendors in the space. While the size of your company will have an impact on this, the system could run faster overall. The HR software market is large, and the five vendors we talk about in this video represent just a tiny fraction of it, but it can take hours to conduct enough research on vendors to feel confident choosing one.
