Review of Talentsoft from Cegid

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my opinion, Talentsoft from Cegid made many promises about their platform but it was an extremely disappointment rollout In my opinion, there is little no integration with external tools and getting data in and out of the system is close to impossible. In my opinion, the functionality in the hub platfom is limited to employee information. In my experience, support is slow and heavily dependent on other customers. In my opinion, even the most basic reports require additional expenditure. In my opinion, you may want to look elsewhere if you want a modern, integrated HR platform

Pros

  • Selling their platform

Cons

  • Better integration with other tools in my opinion
  • Better import/export functionality in my opinion
  • Customisable reports

Return on Investment

  • In my opinion, does not solve any real business problems
  • In my opinion, high cost with weak functionality

Talentsoft Performance Review ... Review

Pros

  • Having the reviews in Talentsoft makes it much easier for one person to manage the entire process from start to finish.
  • When an employee switches managers during the year, the delegation feature makes it very easy to have the previous manager add their input to the employees review.
  • Being able to have a daily import file from our HR system into Talentsoft helps in having the information in Talentsoft be current.

Cons

  • I would like to have access edit and update the goal section throughout the year, not just during the review period.
  • The reporting function is very cumbersome and needs to have easier ways to create custom reports.
  • Streamline the create a review template process.
  • Email notification for employees to let their manager know when they have completed entering information in Talentsoft.

Return on Investment

  • Positive - Managers and employees have access to their reviews without having to contact HR.
  • Positive - Management of the entire review process is less manual and takes less time.
