• Strong global payroll offering due to Celergo acquisition
• Improved integration capabilities with open APIs and pre-built connectors

3) BambooHR

BambooHR is a modern HRIS solution suitable for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with less than 300 employees. The software covers various HR functions at a competitive price, such as performance management, onboarding, and recruiting. BambooHR has a very user-friendly interface and offers an applicant-tracking system with superior functionality to other HRIS systems. In addition, the company invests heavily in customer support, with one of the highest-rated support teams in the industry.

The system is quick to deploy and easy to set up, making it ideal for SMBs. However, it may have limitations in terms of customization, and some modules, such as performance and time & attendance tools, are essential and do not allow for much flexibility. The BambooHR platform only recently started offering a benefits management tool, and some users still prefer to use a third-party tool for a complete HR suite. The integration capabilities are prioritized, but custom integrations can be challenging to build due to a lack of professional services resources.

BambooHR charges a monthly or quarterly subscription fee between $9 and $14 per employee. In addition, there is a one-time implementation fee of around 5-15% of the annual software fees.

Pros:

• User-friendly interface
• Competitive Pricing
• Robust support teams
• Superior applicant tracking system
• Pre-built integrations with many leading third-party HR tools

Cons:

• Limitations in customization
• Inexperienced benefits management tool
• Basic performance management module
• Payroll system was added via acquisition

UKG Pro is a full-suite HRIS system that serves as a one-stop-shop for mid-sized and early-enterprise companies, covering everything from payroll and benefits to recruiting, onboarding, performance, and learning. UKG Pro is utilized by companies as small as 100 employees and as large as 100,000. UKG Pro is known for its HR and talent management strengths and is considered a Mid-Enterprise HRIS.

UKG Pro strikes the ideal balance by offering a robust and highly configurable system without requiring mid-market companies to employ IT or consulting experts. The UKG Pro's solid corporate culture leads to high retention and experienced customer support teams. UKG Pro's premium pricing may be more robust than some smaller market segments require.

The integration potential of UKG Pro has been notably enhanced in recent years, boasting open APIs and a broad selection of premade connectors. UKG Pro can be a global record system for international companies, but most of UKG's service teams are US-based.

Pros:

• Strong HR and talent management tools
• Highly configurable and approachable for mid-market companies
• Delivers a robust user experience for admins and employees
• Improved integration capabilities with open APIs and pre-built connectors

5) Workday

Workday is a popular enterprise HRIS system that covers everything from payroll, benefits, and HR to recruiting, onboarding, performance, and learning.

Workday is also a cloud-native platform with a unified product architecture, making it easy to build third-party integrations with other systems.

Despite being a robust and powerful HRIS, Workday is user-friendly and can help drive employee self-service. Workday has acquired leading technologies in talent management and provides robust functionality around performance management, employee engagement, compensation management, workforce planning, and succession planning.

For mid-market companies, Workday can be a hefty price tag. Its complexity necessitates the services of full-time consultants or HRIS managers for maintenance. Furthermore, its ATS lacks power and potency compared to third-party applications that talent acquisition organizations favor more frequently.
