Bob Reviews

Fully satisfied as a user

Pros:

Great user-friendly interface. Handy search and user profile browsing!

Cons:

Maybe a lack of integration with other tools, and little bit odd API with some confusing responses.

Makes us look professional

Comments: Great solution and great company. Really easy to implement and the ? At the bottom that shows you a video on how to use the page is incredible for set up. Everything you need is in HiBob and there is always 2/3 different ways to do a task to suit each organisation.

Pros:

HiBob tracks all out HR data in one place and we can access it with ease. When we onboard new employees, they love it and it makes us look really professional as a company.

Cons:

The mobile app is great but you can’t see other people leave. A company view like there is on the desktop would be perfect.

Alternatives Considered: BambooHR

Reasons for Choosing Bob: Breathe is good for a 1-20 man company that just wants to track holidays and not use a spreadsheet. If you want more then you get HiBob.

Reasons for Switching to Bob: Other companies experiences. They warned me off it from the time to set up and implement to overal use of the product.

Not worth the pricetag

Comments: Disappointing. For the price you pay, it's simply not worth it.

Pros:

It was easy on the eyes from a user perspective for employees

Cons:

The 1on1s weren't recurring for managersThe demo showed us all the bells and whistles but they all came either added costsForms didn't flow properlyThe setup of this was a nightmare especially syncing it to payroll and creating the pay and leave rulesRestrictions around which users or administrators can have access to things in particularMany steps to do something simpleNo on demand support even during implementation it was all self serviceIssues with leave submitted syncingSurveys are incredibly basic, questions are double barrelled, non actionable and aren't backed by research or science

Very Happy about Bob

Pros:

User-Friendly Interface: Bob's modern, intuitive design makes it easy for employees and managers to navigate and complete HR tasks seamlessly. Customizable Workflows: Hibob’s flexible workflows are great for tailoring the HR experience to match your company's unique needs, from onboarding to performance management. People Analytics: Bob provides comprehensive analytics and insights, empowering HR teams to make data-driven decisions around engagement, retention, and team development.

Cons:

Nothing really negative to say. I really like it.

Are you looking for something new?

Pros:

A central platform that can connect to all other satellites in your organization, versatile in so many ways.Bobs modules are great, you can define your own system and build as grow, from start-up to corporate

Cons:

We would love to have Calculation fields in compensation planning.And be able to define our own calculations for ex Annual Bonuses

Alternatives Considered: Oracle PeopleSoft, BambooHR, and Workday HCM

Reasons for Switching to Bob: We wanted an HRM to feel like a hoodie, not a suit and tie

Affordable, customisable and easy to navigate

Comments: We are satisfied with hibob as our HRIS solution. We are a remote company so it´s really important that all is in one place and that we can track each other bank holidays, different announcements and just being able to get all relevant data with few clicks.

Pros:

The easiness of setting up and customising the system to the company's needs. Not to forget that the price was less than what we were paying for another software that has not had half of the features like hibob. In the end, the system is pretty straightforward for the users, if you are an admin you can easily get the information you need and all is even accessible from your phone.

Cons:

Some of the features could be more customisable such as an organisation chart, conditioning on reviews but if you do report it to the team they communicate if that customisation is on the roadmap or if they believe they will develop it. It would be great to have webinars on new features and great practises of hibob employees itself.

Fantastic, Flexible Option

Pros:

Unlike other HRIS companies I've worked with in the past, the Bob platform is incredibly flexible. I'm able to set up customized onboarding flows, employee fields, and reports for every instance. Surprises come up in HR a lot and HiBob can go with the flow.

Cons:

My least favorite feature is no good screen to view all holidays across the company for employees.

Alternatives Considered: BambooHR

Reasons for Switching to Bob: Bob had more flexibility and more integrations with our other systems.

Effective and Intuitive

Comments: Very positive, lots to do and adapt for each business

Pros:

It seems unique it is adaptability to any and all businesses

Cons:

There are so many elements to bob, so there is a lot to learn

Great hr tool for midsize companies

Comments: Bob as solution as well as bob implementation team and support are outstanding

Pros:

Implementation and deployment was a breeze. The adoption rate of the business is high.

Cons:

Absence of dependent fields when we started and it lacks the ability to customize reporting and homepage for different user groups

Alternatives Considered: Personio and BambooHR

Reasons for Choosing Bob: Sap not suited for our needs - not agile enough

Switched From: SAP SuccessFactors HXM Suite

Reasons for Switching to Bob: Better suited for our global needs

A big project to implement but worth it at the end

Pros:

Having used other HR platforms, Bob definitely seems to have more robust features. Their support team has been very helpful so far, and we've heard a lot of excitement from our team about rolling this out. It's pretty flexible and customizable, and the home page is one of the best I've seen.

Cons:

The implementation is a very big, time consuming, project. As I mentioned there are a lot of features, so that requires a lot of set up. And unfortunately, not every feature is as straightforward as it may seem.

Hibob, making employee life easy and better

Comments: Using bob has made employee management easier

Pros:

Performance management and offboarding features

Cons:

I wish bob could also serve as a clock-in device. Overall, it is a great software

An honest review of HiBob

Comments: A real challenger to the old-school main systems around. HiBob along with others really manage to bring a breath of fresh air in HR management and HRIS tools in general. I could not recommend it more.Its system as a SaaS is extremely convenient and can tailor it to any potential use, whether limited in combination with other systems or as your full HR system.

Pros:

Every feature of HiBob has a meaningful impact, as long as it is properly set and used. The support team is fantastic and solves issues extremely quickly.We have HiBob for our organisation since last year, but I don't see how we could have done it with any other system. The most impactful to me is clearly the employee database management, and its general ease of use.

Cons:

There are some automation features that are lacking, for instance the time and attendance module not being automatically linked to overtime policies. But I have no doubt that this will be implemented soon.The price can also be a deterrent, but it does fit with our purpose and need.

Best HR tool

Pros:

Nice design, ease of use, different features like onboarding, tasks, benefits, goals management.

Cons:

It crashed a few times during last year, price is high.

Hibob is incredible!

Pros:

HiBob is incredibly convenient for efficiently compiling and organizing staff data, particularly when it comes to gathering specific information for various tasks and departments. Its flexibility significantly streamlines my workload, making managing data a breeze.

Cons:

HiBob is fantastic, but a feature I'd love to see is the ability to save preset report filters for different departments. This would streamline processes by having specific filters ready, eliminating the need to manually adjust them for each department's unique requirements. Implementing this would further boost efficiency and customization within the platform.

Bob is loved by our company, both by employees and the HR team.

Pros:

A smooth and straightforward way of managing your leaves, time offs, and personal details within the company.

Cons:

So far, none can we say about it. Everything's good so far.

The best HRIS on the market

Pros:

I've used several HRIS in my profession, but so far nothing compares to Hibob. It takes some time to set up and could be complicated as an admin, but it's extremely well designed and easy to use for the end user (employees). And the customer support is very good and responsive.

Cons:

I am missing a couple of features:- Being able to schedule recurring 121:s (and integration with e.g., zoom )- The employee being able to schedule 121:s with their manager.-The ability to manually add tasks (in case of a tailored on/offboarding for one specific role)

Great tool

Pros:

Easy to use and integrated with our Pento payroll software.

Cons:

Can not manage very efficient employess internal transfers beetwen organisations.

Great HR system, lots of uses

Pros:

A lot of pros. Everything is simple with a clear UI. Love the kudos feature. Have used in two roles.

Cons:

Can't think of anything - think it is all great!

Tasks module not so easy to use and some other related future not so intuitive

HI BOB review

Pros:

Very easy to operate and check the stats for every person in the company.

Cons:

About hi BOB i have no complains it works perfectly fine.

bob in my enterprise

Comments: I use bob in my enterprise to share my work and watch the work of my partners, it's a great tool to keep contact with them.

Pros:

I really like Bob that it is a social network to connect with my classmates

Cons:

I don't have many points for improvement, some that could be, having a chat with your colleagues, but with the integration with slack it's enough

Great HR product

Comments: Great, the product works well and the Customer support is fantastic

Pros:

We really like the surveys and the review process.The automated task lists and workflows are also really useful.

Cons:

I'd like to track peoples over time more easily

Fantastic, Easily Customisable HR System

Comments: LOVE Bob! I've worked with several HRIS and it is honestly the easiest to use, the support team are lovely and overall it is a great user experience.

Pros:

Access to real time data. System is easy to customise, you don't need a dev team to make changes you need and changes can be done in real time. Ease of use both for the HR team and employees. Its easy to navigate and use.

Cons:

I think more work can be done on the performance management piece i.e.: including weightings on key indicators, instead of on the whole goal.

Powerful tool with many possibilities

Pros:

There is so much to explore with Bob and the capacity for data is endless. It makes HR more fun with a social media-like feel to it, which helps build a virtual community between employees.

Cons:

Because there is so much capacity, sometimes it can be difficult to navigate and understand the process behind specific tools. There are still some features that I doubt I have understood, but as time goes I explore and learn more and the potential keeps growing.
