Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"IBM Kenexa is fairly stable. We don't have any downtime.""It is extremely user friendly. It is very flexible in managing recruitment, especially when you have thousands of applicants as we did. We easily had over 20,000 applicants within a year for some of our positions, so it made it very easy to manage a large application pool. It was very easy to customize by recruiter preference. When you open up someone's profile to see their experience, education, or other things, you can customize that for yourself. It was flexible in that, and each recruiter could set up their preferences. It didn't have to be set up so that everyone had to have the same landing platform, which was very helpful. As someone who trained other HR people on how to use the system, it was very easy to pick up and learn.""The most valuable features are that we can upload documents and download them on demand.""The ease of scaling is one of BrassRing's biggest strengths, making it a trusted choice for large companies."

"The UI and UX are fantastic.""The mobile responsiveness is strong.""Some of the most valuable features are the onboarding experience of new employees, the employee service portal, and the entire performance management system.""The hiring process is good. It will create a process-oriented procedure in terms of hiring, promotion, the movement of people, and other related HR tasks.""The product has valuable flexibility for customization, user interface, and search capabilities.""PeopleStrong Alt is flexible because it allows customization and the user's experience is very good."

Cons
"The reporting tool is helpful, but it is not the easiest to train on or is not as understandable for other HR pros. Their Workbench site, which is the administrator site that you use to update your website, is not user-friendly. When updates are required, it is not that easy to manage because Workbench is not user friendly. It required more work from the admins. They have Workbench training, which actually was very unhelpful. It took eight hours to complete, and it was not very helpful. Their customer service when it comes specifically to their Workbench site is not helpful.""It needs to update its reporting and analytics tools.""I would like to have a better and more user-friendly interface.""I would not recommend IBM Kenexa to others."

More IBM Kenexa Cons →

"They had challenges getting the performance management system up and integrated with our systems.""They could include a sort of collaborative platform where employees are able to work together with a chat mechanism like WhatsApp and video chat.""It would be helpful if you could work offline because sometimes, we have problems with internet connectivity.""The solution's workflow can improve by adding more customization at the organizational level.""The global scalability and support could improve.""They could improve talent management capabilities."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Kenexa was fairly priced. However, in 2019, before I left my previous organization, they significantly increased their pricing. It can be affordable, but their pricing is going up. It is not just licensing; it is how many applicants you have in your system on the database side."
