Cezanne HR vs. PeopleAdmin Higher Ed Platform, from Powerschool

Cezanne HR features were easy to set and configure the interface security and through Cezanne HR is more easy and quick on multiple financial data transferring across other HR and also Payroll management platforms. To create reports on various business operations and its salary revisions capability is unique and excellent.

PeopleAdmin handles the process of recruiting very well. It integrated into the jobbing.com web pages as well as other job websites. The learning curve for users is not too steep. The web page format is intuitive to users. The user interface looks good. The initial issue would be the number of candidates the organization handles per year. Due to our business, we handle a large number of candidates, but US and international. PeopleAdmin facilitates this process.

• Payroll tracking ability is excellent.
• Workflow easy management on Cezanne HR is good.
• Easy employees experience management.

• Applicant tracking was a good use of this tool for our department. I think it could use a few more customization features but overall it was a good tool to weed out applicants who were not qualified for the position.
• The system has some canned reporting tools that also worked well for our department and management needs.
• It was a great place to house our position descriptions and provided a readily accessible source for hiring managers to make requested updates and changes and for employees to see and have access to their position descriptions.

• Reporting - add more standard reports so I don't have to create them.
• Communicating w/ in the module with team mates.

• Moving applicants through workflow is not a very fluid process. When the number of applicants spans multiple pages one is forced to work with each page individually; moving applicants to a status that requires approval precludes moving any others in workflow without filtering them out but it is not obvious that one needs to be aware of this.
• One can't search for a job description by simply typing in the employee's name - it requires using the position number and often the name is what is at hand.
• When one changes positions within the organization and requires different access there does not seem to be a way to be added globally to job descriptions in the new unit - the process is far too manual. Although I believe adding new units to ones profile is fairly simple, apparently one can't remove the old units so I continue to see things that I no longer need to.

Need to assess our needs vs how Cezanne HR supports those needs

Incentivized

We are evaluating our options as it relates to PeopleAdmin. We are likely to renew as we can not find another product that gives us the functionality we have with PeopleAdmin 5.8 in the area of Position Description. Outside of that, we would likely be close to finding another product solution.

Some things are complicated to understand, such as the process around them or why things cannot be done. That said, support is always helpful and tries to think of solutions.

It can sometimes "blip" or be slow, particularly on a Monday morning

The support is great. They are efficient and resolve issues relatively quickly. The support opening times support our HR opening times. What would make it better is a live chat function for support or the ability to phone. Sometimes explaining an issue and going back and forth over email takes longer than a quick phone call or live chat.

It is never the same than in person, but the training was also the implementation so it made sense as it was broken up. It made it more cost effective.

The team were great particularly Wanessa. They knew the system inside and out and always found work arounds to meet our needs. Whilst implementation felt slower than I would want, our expectations were on the whole met

Better for smaller companies. Don't get too big, or you will lose your value. It's a niche market here and the more products you can use, the better; its payroll integrates with on boarding, talent acquisition, staffing, succession planning, and performance management. I don't like the idea of having four different Software companies for something one can do. No manager likes all these different platforms.

I've used both Target Recruit and HR Smart. When working with Target Recruit it quickly became apparent it was not the right solution for us. Another solution we examined prior to selection PeopleAdmin was iCIMS. iCIMS is a very social system but was not as familiar with the Higher Education recruitment processes as was PeopleAdmin.

Very little downtime.

• Fewer people preparing reports that an individual was doing before the dashboard s0 saving one full day per week of reporting.

• We are now able to track our recruitment sources to determine our ROI on university paid subscriptions.
• We have reduced our recruiting approval review times by 50%
• We have identified areas for improvement substancially by having robust reporting available at our fingertips.
