isolved vs. Reward Gateway Employee Engagement Platform (SmartHub)

Isolved is great with payroll and payroll changes as well as onboarding. Our benefit open enrollment went well and for the most part was stress free, there were a few hiccups with our 3rd party supplemental insurances. Because of their complexity and they way they are processed through payroll there was a little confusion and things needed to be adjusted. But due to the flexibility of the system the issues didn't become big problems.

Because of it's scalability, the RG Employee Engagement Platform works for just about any company. It enables ease of communications, peer shout outs, rewards/recognition and the perks are a major bonus. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a platform like this.

• Payroll Processing (timely and accurate).
• Customer Service (dedicated account service representative, who gets to know your company's needs).
• Payroll Reports (accurate, timely, extensive, exhaustive, customizable).
• Employee Information (accurate reporting of the data, easily viewable information, information presented in a streamlined fashion).

• Integrates well with other software platforms (e.g. our HR system).
• Easy to implement.
• Very user-friendly interface.

• More reminder notifications would be great!
• A way to email hiring managers and our IT department at the same time with a template would save us from so much email communication
• Transfer all attached documents such as interview notes from iHired applicants to isolved employee documents would save us time uploading into multiple places

• The SmartHub is a bit intimidating BUT end users don't really have to modify it unless they want to, I try not to and my account manager helps with changes.
• There are honestly no negatives, the platform is amazing

Due to the continued problems (time clock disconnects, regular post-update issues) and users' negative attitude, we are unlikely to renew. Another important factor is that TF is US-centric, so it does not account for local Philippine specifics, which is important to us.

It is very intuitive and user friendly. iSolved is always updating and improving things before they even become a problem. I like how they inform us of the new updates and provide us with the details of what is changing and how it will improve the usuage.

Payroll due dates and send to us at the beginning of the year, with email reminders for holidays. The support email address is fairly fast, within 24-48 hours. But if something is needed immediately, I can just call and they help me out right then.

We do not use the integration, so we have a csv file that I upload manually for payroll. That is our decision based on the software at our restaurants. Pages loaded fairly quickly, but reports to pdf lag about 15-20 seconds

Overall support is very helpful, but members of our team have expressed frustration with allegedly needing to provide the same pieces of information repeatedly because the person they're working with doesn't seem to understand the issue or is missing their meaning, etc

All over the phone, but it was comprehensive.

We loved taking the course, we went through most of them before we went live and I believe that was very helpful. The online training helped us learn to navigate in the program. We still refer to the training and assign our managers and supervisors to it as well. I highly recommend using it. We have also been able to attend the Connect Conferences with are extremely valuable and we learn tips and tricks to help us better utilize our system.

The system was very cumbersome setting up as well as time consuming. There were times I just wanted to walk away and sometimes I did have to get up and walk away for a break and come back with a fresh perspective. The setup took me over a period of two to three months getting it to serve the purposes that we needed it two. I am very intuitive when it comes to computer software however getting all the right buttons checked in order for it to do what I needed didn't always work.

I went with iSolved because the people I spoke with were all quick to answer and very thorough in their responses. I knew they could help me build my setup the way I wanted it, and not just force me to work within some pre-set parameters once I had signed the contract.

TinyPulse was an excellent platform for getting feedback from employees, and having a dialogue with them about it, but less well suited as a communications or recognition platform.

Price increases do happen every year. I understand that the cost of living rises, but every year to us is a bit excessive.

We are a company of about 135 people at 9 locations in 2 towns. We were able to set locations and departments, and also have each location seperate so only that manager can see their employees.

Incentivized

• When we had Paycom, we had 1/4 of our staff that were not logging in and using the system. That number is down to maybe 5% now
• Employees love having the ability to easily view and verify their timecards prior to payroll submission.

Incentivized

• Increased transparancy throughout the organization
• Better, more immediate communications
• Increased comradery between department
• Recognition is immediate
• improved cultural alignment
