1.) GoCo

GoCo is a user-friendly HRIS platform with strengths in onboarding, benefits administration, and leave management, designed for companies with less than 250 employees. They have a unique approach to payroll integrations, providing an in-house employee who manages the integration and checks for errors. GoCo has robust onboarding capabilities; every customer gets a dedicated support representative.

However, they do not offer performance or recruiting functionality and have occasional bugs and slow load times. Also, clients must buy their HRIS modules, and they cannot sell the benefits admin module standalone. GoCo has open API capabilities and strong integration knowledge but fewer marketplace integrations than some of its peers. They can serve as a global record system for international employees, but some of their benefits and compliance functions aren't supported globally.

Pros:

  • Robust benefits admin tool
  • Modern and intuitive user experience
  • A unique approach to integrations
  • Robust onboarding capabilities
  • Dedicated support representative for every customer
  • Open API capabilities

Cons:

  • No performance or recruiting functionality
  • Occasional bugs and slow load times
  • Clients must buy HRIS modules
  • Fewer marketplace integrations than some of their peers
  • Benefits and compliance functions aren't supported globally for some features.

2.) HiBob

HiBob is an SMB HRIS platform with a unique focus on the employee experience, with performance, engagement, and culture tools at the platform's core. It's a good fit for companies with between 50 and 350 employees, particularly those with a global workforce, and generates insightful reports on employee engagement. HiBob has a modern user interface and pre-built integrations with leading ATS and LMS vendors.

However, it doesn't offer payroll or benefits administration, which may limit its scalability. HiBob has always prioritized integrations with third-party systems, and while it has some marketplace integrations, custom integrations are not always easy to build. HiBob charges a monthly or quarterly subscription fee, typically between $8 and $13 per employee per month, and an implementation fee of 5-15% of the annual software fees.

Pros:

  • Focus on employee engagement and culture
  • Generates insightful reports on employee engagement
  • Modern user interface
  • Good fit for global organizations
  • Pre-built integrations with leading ATS and LMS vendors

Cons:

  • No payroll or benefits administration
  • Prioritizes integrations with third-party systems
  • Custom integrations are not always easy to build
  • Implementation fee on top of subscription fees
  • Concerns about turnover in HiBob's internal team

3.) BambooHR

BambooHR is a user-friendly HRIS system designed for SMBs, offering a broad range of modules, including HR records, time tracking, onboarding, recruiting, and performance management. The system's strengths include competitive pricing, superior applicant tracking functionality, and pre-built integrations with leading 3rd party tools. Additionally, BambooHR invests heavily in customer support and has an extensive knowledge base and community forum.

However, the system has limitations, such as a lack of customization options, no benefits management tool, and relatively basic performance and time & attendance tools. The rollout of the new payroll system is still in its early stages, and global payroll requires a 3rd party. BambooHR charges a monthly or quarterly subscription fee, and implementing BambooHR requires a one-time implementation fee.

Overall, BambooHR is ideal for companies with less than 300 employees looking for a modern HRIS solution with robust integrations and excellent customer support.

Pros:

  • User-friendly HRIS system designed for SMBs
  • Competitive Pricing
  • Superior applicant tracking functionality
  • Pre-built integrations with many leading 3rd party tools
  • Excellent customer support with an extensive knowledge base and community forum

Cons:

  • Lack of customization options
  • No benefits management tool
  • Basic performance and time & attendance tools
  • Rollout of new payroll system still in early stages
  • Global payroll requires a 3rd party

4.) Gusto

Gusto is a user-friendly payroll and HRIS system for small businesses with less than 150 employees. It delivers a modern, user-friendly payroll software and HR experience and has expanded its offerings to include benefits administration, time tracking, and onboarding capabilities. Gusto's strengths include its full-service tax filing arm, HR support, and employee benefits broker services.

However, Gusto focuses on very small companies, and its timekeeping app is essential, with limited functionality such as ATS or performance management systems. Additionally, Gusto has historically lagged behind its peers with HR point solution integrations and experienced issues with customer support inquiries during the pandemic. Gusto's pricing is charged on a monthly or quarterly subscription basis, and there is no implementation fee to get started. Gusto is an excellent choice for small businesses looking for a user-friendly payroll and HRIS system.

Pros:

  • Modern, user-friendly payroll and HRIS system
  • Full-service tax filing arm
  • HR support services and employee benefits broker services
  • No implementation fee to get started
  • Opened up partner marketplace and built more integrations with 3rd party HR tools

Cons:

  • Focuses on very small companies with less than 150 employees
  • The Timekeeping app is basic and limited in functionality
  • No extended functionality such as ATS or performance management system
  • Experienced issues with customer support inquiries during the pandemic
  • Historically lagged behind peers with HR point solution integrations

5.) Namely

Namely is an HRIS software that focuses on providing a mobile-first and user-friendly interface. It is designed for SMBs with 50-350 employees and covers a large portion of Core HR functionality. The software is priced between $16 and $24 PEPM, and the implementation fee is about 10-25% of the annual software fees. Namely's strengths include its attractive user interface, strong employee self-service features, and strong integration capabilities.

However, some functional gaps preclude it from being an all-in-one solution, including no ATS offering or pulse surveys, and payroll can struggle in complex scenarios. The pod-based support model has led to slow response times for customers in the past. Namely's modules cover payroll processing, benefits administration, HR management, employee files, self-service, time and attendance, new hire onboarding, performance management, and employee engagement tools.

Pros:

  • Mobile-first and user-friendly interface
  • Covers a large portion of Core HR functionality
  • Strong integration capabilities with 3rd party point solutions
  • Customizable performance review module for ongoing performance conversations
  • Can serve as a global system of record for international employees
  • Offers managed service offerings for payroll processing and benefits administration

Cons:

  • Functional gaps prevent it from being an all-in-one solution (e.g., no pulse surveys or ATS offering)
  • Payroll tools can struggle in complex scenarios.
  • Pod-based support model has led to slow response times for customers in the past.
  • Limited rules engines and custom workflow tools can limit scalability
  • Implementation requires configuration work from the administrator.
