Dashboards are great to easy report on individuals, teams and also for compliance requirements. For a business which did not have anything in place previously it has helped is to implement a performance management program which is best of breed and best practice. > > **Cons**: There were a couple of items with our version which meant we needed some manual workarounds but with our upgraded version ready to go live next month everything will be resolved. > > Our Customer Success Manager has been a fantastic support for us along this journey. He is very knowledgeable and happy to help in any way. It took us some time to implement due to the project being managed by only one person - but this goes to show that it is a truly scalable solution for large and smaller businesses. We will soon implement the Learning \& Development Module across our teams and know it will lift our training and personal development to a new level with this professional and well-structured solution. ----- ### "Great affordable product" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *7 November 2017* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The software is easy to use and more affordable than others on the market. The system allows you to easily find a candidate using the search function and has saved our company thousands in recruiter fees as a result. As adverts are directly uploaded to SEEK and our website the software has saved me time. In addition, the ability to mass (personalised) respond to candidates has saved me time and ensured a better candidate experience with our organisation. > > **Cons**: The software does not imped itself into our website to suit our style guide. It clearly looks like it has been added, rather than matching the rest of our webpage. > > Saving on time and money\! ----- ### "System lacks basic Functionality & Oversold Product" — 1.0/5 > **Danielle** | *17 December 2020* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Performance Management Module is only Module I would recommend purchasing. > > **Cons**: Customer Service: -Disconnect from the sales team and product delivery team -Sales team over sale PeopleSteme Modules that doesn't save time but increases administrative tasks -Product team provides workarounds to compensate for the lack of the system functionality once you have purchased the modules - PeopleStreme can't commit to timeframes for the companies 'road map' on new features System: -There is minimal automation provided by the purchased modules -System is extremely slow -Inability to bulk upload all historical data (e.g. Job Ads, Position Descriptions, Resumes) -Purchased modules don’t communicate to one another, requiring a increased workload for the HR team -There is no Employee Landing page that displays basic employee data (hire date, department, job title), which is collected from the Onboarding process. Sales team now tells us that this is only available to them because of their access permissions and not part of the package sold -Onboarding Module does not allow for cross-boarding to be captured in PeopleStreme > > Overall, my recommendation is to avoid this product, it is not worth the increased administrative burden that the modules come with. The product is expensive for the lack of functionality and the presentation of the modules. ----- ### "Great cloud based application that manages the whole employee life-cycle for us." — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 January 2018* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Whilst the application is module based, all data is interconnected so that you can build a full view of your employees as individuals as well as a collective. > > **Cons**: A few more system configuration options as the system administrator would be useful, particularly when trying to build or customise reports. > > Streamlined employee on-boarding and administration, greater understanding of employee performance and a platform to manage learning \& development, as well as remuneration reviews more effectively ----- ### "You should try" — 4.0/5 > **Emre** | *4 September 2022* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: You can choose if you want to improve your skills, it does not take much time to learn thanks to its simple interface, it is easy to use. > > **Cons**: I didn't have a bad experience because customer service is always able to solve problems. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/12948/peoplestreme?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/12948/peoplestreme) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
