People-Trak HRIS Suite

Benefits:

I love the versatility of the product. There is so much potential for automating tasks such as sending out reminders to supervisors about upcoming due dates for their staff.

Drawbacks:

So far I have no issues with the software. We are the implementation phase and just starting to run reports. The staff at People-trac are knowledgeable, helpful and responsive.

Benefits:

This system is very user friendly. It does not come in modules, so it is one system for everything (HRIS, Payroll, Time and Attendance). Updates are instant and all of the main reporting is available. Very inexpensive...half the price of other competitors.

Drawbacks:

Since the system is all in one, you cannot buy a more sophisticated module if you are looking to grow your organization. they offer no real hands on support after the conversion.

In sum:

People Trak is a good system for HR. Even better if you have under 100 employees. I would not consider this product if you are a large organization.

Benefits:

Not a lot to recommend. I have not been happy with this product from the begining.

Drawbacks:

This product is not very user friendly, complicated to develop custom reports.

Benefits:

It's a comprehensive HRIS with lots of robust tools to use. It's inexpensive compared to other systems.

Drawbacks:

It has a clunky user Interface, is not intuitive, and is not cloud-based.

Benefits:

The way that you can customize screens and how friendly they staff is. I was sold after seeing the demo for our sales representative.

Drawbacks:

Not being able to just import information without having to obtain a password every day. Did not like that essential training was not interactive. Had a lot of technically issues during training.

Benefits:

The help file is extensive and they have a nice question mark feature that lets you get help on the fields you want, or lets you know the backend field name for reporting. You can report on or export anything. With easy access to true field names, and the tools for reporting and exports, you can easily gather the data you need. Local installs are available.

Drawbacks:

Outdated look and feel. No employee portal for pay stubs, PTO lookup, or other self-help HR interfaces. It looks like they will completely revamp this product in the next few years.

In sum:

I love the versatility of this for reporting, it is fantastic, you don't need to rely on canned reports.

Benefits:

all the tools needed to automate HR, affordable, and user-friendly

Drawbacks:

a bit too complex and expensive but that's okay. That's all I have to say

In sum:

HR Software eval

Benefits:

Navigates easily between screens and interfaces with our payroll system.

Drawbacks:

We only have an HRIS module. Doesn't allow for employee self service, benefit tracking, or robust reporting. Operates off of a server vs the cloud.

Benefits:

Easy to implement and to use. Easy to navigate too. Made my job easier.

Drawbacks:

I like everything so far but I will share any feedback later on.

Benefits:

People-Trak is fairly easy to learn and begin using quickly. The vendor is terrific; I had a great experience both with the People-Trak salesperson and with the support and implementation team. I never waited long for a response in request to help. I appreciated the fact that there were different options for training ranging from onsite training, webex/online training one-on-one, or group online training. The training provided is in addition to the support person assigned to help you transfer your HR data into the system and set it up according to how your company structures things like vacation/sick time, PTO, benefits, retirement, etc.

Drawbacks:

It is difficult to find an area to dislike. I would like to see more step-by-step guides developed for data entry beyond just the basics. General help is available online, as are general tutorials. And as long as you maintain your annual user updates (pay the fee), your access to live support is always available.
