I get updates of latest polls being conducted in the company easily. I can recommend this product to make Monday mornings of employee cheerful on work. Pros I just love this software like anything, It is filled with a number of features that are essential for day to day life. One simple feature that I love in Keka is employee dashboard where we can see our colleague's profile, their likes and dislikes, interest area and most importantly when you login in the portal, you see the birthdays of people. Its much more easier that Facebook to remember birthday's on our behalf. Generally we do not tend to remember our colleague's birthday. but with keka we get notification of all upcoming birthdays of the week. Few more thing that I love about keka are its features like expense management , leave tracking, leave application and leave balance etc. Also, you can upload some necessary documents in your portal which are only visible to the top management and they can use it for official purpose with your consent. It made my life easier because I no longer need to email my document to HR team every now and then. Cons There are no such cons from my usage so far. Only thing is that if I forget to stop my time tracking by mistake, then I cannot off it by my mobile phone app. Rest everything is simply awesome. Review Source MA Mohammad A.

March 1, 2023 4.0 One of the best automation HR/Payroll systems available and it is being using across the world. Pros Great with the 1:1 meeting process as rare applications work with remote employees, The analytics are great with all the available diagrams. Cons Still there is a gap with integration with other software and data. Alternatives considered [MenaHR Curio](https://www.capterra.com/p/246527/MenaHR-Curio/) Reason for choosing Keka Customer support is much better. MenaHR is not still mature as it keeps on hanging at times and data is corrupted therefore backup has to take place from time to time. Switched from [ZenHR](https://www.capterra.com/p/157129/zenHR/) The remote management option is wonderful with the 1:1 meeting. More automation features are available in this product.

When ever they are free they will call us and request to attend the meeting in short notice, the project team will never adjust and come to meeting based on the customer request.“ Review Source Mridul G. SEO Executive Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My Opinion ABout Keka" November 4, 2022 5.0 Keka HR handles finances, requests leaves of absence, plans holidays, requests financial records, tracks time and attendance, and calculates taxes at my place of employment. It gives a clear view of the wage split and the tax calculation so that the employees may feel secure in their pay. The pay stubs are constantly available, so getting access to your wage information is not too difficult. It is very helpful when several workers work from home to keep the business on schedule and positive to monitor the success of specific people, projects, or the entire team. Pros Keka offers a variety of solutions, from processing taxes to automating attendance. Employees may easily keep track of their time with this program's time tracking and attendance register. The process is further streamlined by the inclusion of an electronic leave application option. One particular aspect of Keka that I enjoy is the employee dashboard, where we can examine our coworkers' profiles, likes and dislikes, interest areas, and—most importantly—birthdays. Keka also gives us the ability to publish material, share announcements, or run polls from within the platform. As a consequence, HR will post a message whenever there is noteworthy news to let everyone in the company know. The mobile app is available and could help you keep it handy despite its slight sluggishness. Cons Although flows exist, Keka HR is an excellent platform for managing everything in a business. Because the tool has so many functionality, an enhanced user interface is required in order to make each feature easier to understand. When their servers periodically go to sleep, their response times are terrible. Keka lacks a file management system, therefore when necessary, no files may be uploaded, making it difficult for teams to collaborate by exchanging documents internally. The mobile app has a number of faults as well, and sometimes even the punch-out feature does not work.

" December 5, 2022 5.0 The Keka app is an excellent software for payroll management. It has many features and can be customized according to the needs of our business. Its simple user interface makes it easy for us to use. Although we have only been trying the software, we can see how it can benefit our business by making payroll management work like a breeze. Pros KEKA is easy to use, user-friendly, and straightforward to operate. It's an intuitive app that won't take you long to learn how it works. The interface is clean and uncluttered. It also has a simple layout, with tabs across the top of the screen allowing you to navigate between your different tools: one for creating a new Keke and another for editing existing ones.Customization is good; it allows you to meet your company's and its users' needs. In this case, KEKA provides software we can customize to fit our current needs. We like the excellent payroll management system. The software helps us ensure that all our employees are paid on time and can also help calculate the total amount of taxes those employees have to pay.KEKA is an excellent time tracking system because it allows you to keep track of how much time each employee spends working on different tasks throughout their work days, which makes it easier for employers who want this information so they can bill our clients appropriately. Cons KEKA also has no integrations with the Basecamp or JIRA project management apps we want to use. The app only tracks time, so if we want to track other metrics like sales data or expenses, we need another tool. Reason for choosing Keka it seemed easier to deploy. Review Source Manisha K.

It automates human procedures and creates a motivated culture. The straightforward UI and easy-to-use features make data-driven decisions easier, and the potential to decrease boring activities is invaluable. I really recommend Keka for building a wonderful company. Pros Keka has transformed my HR management. Keka handles hiring, performance management, and data analytics for my company's people procedures. Keka lets me automate routine work and focus on strategy. The simple design and features make data-driven decisions easier. Keka's strongest strength is its culture of engagement and drive.

It has customized templates to send mail to employees, it has time tracking and attendance registry within the software which makes it easy for the employee to track time. it has an option to apply leave electronically which makes the process even smoother. Cons Keka has some features missing such as workflow management system and files management system.

I have used other hr platforms and Keka has been the easiest to use. Leave applying and attendance tracking could be easily done and managed. Also, showing whether a colleague is in or out the office is another amazing feature. Cons There should be an option to modify/delete your leave requests. Also, there has been issue with Tax calculation too often. Otherwise, keka has been so far a good platform, and no particular dislikes from me.

Pros It has definitely helped in improving the appraisal process. The process is swift and easy to complete. Cons When using from mobile, it asks for a lot of confirmation.

Cons glitches , recently i have faced a issue where i am not able to log in due to software glitch although that has been resolved later on but still thAT issue should not come Review Source MW Michael W. President Publishing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best archiver/unarchiver for Mac!" February 16, 2021 5.0 We depend on Keka nearly every day. Our cloud storage at box.com is limited to files under 5gb. Because we often have InDesign source files larger than this, we have to split the archives in order to store them in the cloud. Keka makes this super easy and is very reliable with great 7zip compression among other multi-part file splitting formats. Pros Keka is fantastic. We depend on it almost every day. Oh, and also, their isopod logo/icon is pretty great too. Cons The single most important improvement that Keka needs is the ability to \*create\* RAR files. It extracts them perfectly fine, but I understand that due to licensing issues they are unable to implement RAR creation into the software. There was an ancient beta version that did this which you can search out, but the RAR files it creates are unreliable. That's the only negative I can find about the great little piece of software.

Your can create your organization and add all of your employees. Then you can use module for automatic payroll which is perfectly intuitive. Finally you can see overview of your spends and advanced analysis for every module. Cons The pricing of this app a bit higher, for very small companies it is impossible to pay this money every month. On the other hand the application contains all modules which user can't pay separately.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CTO Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Free trial is a demo and onboarding is super tedious" December 22, 2021 1.0 No way to use a subset of features. Onboarding requires filling 25 sheets even if you are looking to use a subset of features. Pros Looks and feels nice. Has a lot of relevant features. Cons No self serve set up and onboarding is extremely time consuming. Further there's no way to use parts of the product before wider rollout. The free trial is just a demo with fake data. It's not a free trial. The sales team refuses to acknowledge this and the website is also misleading by saying that there is a free trial. On top of that the sales team will guilt trip saying other alternatives are giving false hope and promises by giving actual free trials and self serve set up.
