## Reviews

### "Cloud based with solid feature set" — 4.0/5

> **Jonathan** | *10 October 2017* | Hospital & Health Care
> 
> **Pros**: Cloud Based and very intuitive. Ties into salesforce and very intuitive as it aligns to the design and flow of SalesForce and ServiceCloud.
> 
> **Cons**: Exporting data for usage outside of the tool can be a challenge. Separate database is used entirely for the product so it isn't truly integrated with sales and support tools.

### "More than I need Human Capital Management Software" — 4.0/5

> **William** | *1 December 2011*
> 
> **Pros**: The user interface is excellent.  If you know Salesforce.com CRM then you will inherently know how to use Vana HCM.  WOW\!  No training required.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Great future vision product, it has more than I need to manage my team, recruit and track people, leave, benefits, compensation, performance and more.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Even better I LOVE the Social Collaboration tool.  It keeps my employees working and collaborating in the solution and not of facebook or twitter.  Also love the collaboration on goals, initiatives, performance reviews and projects.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Top it off the library was an added bonus, since I can store and share corporate documents and even education materials as part of the solution (free) and have my team collaborate with others on these and track it in the learning management.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Overall: over the top\!  Thank you.
> 
> **Cons**: There is almost too much to learn.  The overwhelm is consuming.  I wish I had the ability to configure everything that is delivered.  &#10;&#10;Knowing where to start was a bit daunting, thank goodness they did the first series of configurations to launch the product and provided me with an easy to use Getting Started Guide so my team could calm down and get started 1...2...3&#10;&#10;Learning to use the system most effectively was a challenge, but I think we finally got it.  It may have been more of a resistance to change, rather than a solution problem.  It took a while to adopt it as a company, but we are all on the same page now and it ROCKS\!&#10;&#10;The Social Org Chart was a bit of a challenge to set up, but easy to re-org and fix with a little help and is now AWESOME\!
> 
> I would say if you are a small or medium business and you have no idea what an HR department or IT department looks like, then you need Vana Human Capital Management.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;If you have employees and you want to increase performance, this solution is complete.  HR departments will thank you, you will save time and headaches.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;This made our performance reviews a dream.  The social collaboration is new to us and has become the center of our corporate universe.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;you will be overwhelmed so just be warned the Quick Start Implementation will appeal to you, but I encourage you to just get the next level up so the team at VanaWorkforce.com will do all the work for you.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Just get it.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Oh yeah, since it is on force.com it makes integration with CRM and other force.com products a single click of the mouse and has single sign-on, super cool.&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Patrick.

### "Reporting good, but very buggy, last generation technology" — 2.0/5

> **Richard T** | *20 November 2018* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Provides an interface to let my staff interact and submit information (time cards, expenses, etc.). The ability to pull reports is very helpful and reduces staff time
> 
> **Cons**: It's very buggy. Crashes at least once a week and our team loses data all the time. For example, saving time cards has been a nightmare. Generally PSA feels like technology and an interface from the early 2000's. It's dated, and not fun to use.

### "FinancialForce helps me manage my business\!" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *14 December 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: FinancialForce is fairly easy to use but you definitely need to have an admin who is savvy with FF \&amp; SFDC. Once it is setup how you need it, it is fabulous. Reporting can be challenging at times hence the need for a savvy system admin.
> 
> **Cons**: The need to export things to Excel for extensive reporting and develop pivot tables to get full data analysis. This is really not just a FinancialForce limitation as we had to do this with other tools we have used.

-----

### "Thumbs up to FinancialForce" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *30 November 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This software is so much better than the previous software we used in the past. Its simple and easy to access and review reporting.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like that with using a MAC I have to expand the screen to sumbit things.
