About Keka

Keka is a cloud-based human resource (HR) software designed to help organizations across retail, pharmaceuticals, IT, banking, and various other sectors manage employee details, payroll, expenses, and performance on a unified platform. Features include pulse surveys, custom notifications, loan tracking, single sign-on, document storage, and asset tracking.

The application enables managers to track employee attendance and overtime, schedule shifts, configure leave policies, and set up leave approval workflows. Using Keka’s timesheet, supervisors can determine revenue generated on current projects, calculate billable/non-billable hours, and allocate resources. It also helps recruiters manage the talent pool, conduct pre-employment tests, and visualize results via a scorecard. Hiring teams can automate job offer releases, interact with candidates by sending emails, and design offer letters using predefined templates.

Keka offers integration with multiple third-party applications, including QuickBooks, Upside LMS, ZestMoney, Stashfin, and Plum. With its performance management system, supervisors can define project objectives and evaluate employee's progress through 360-degree feedback. Staff members can view their leave balances, complete onboarding tasks, and view peer feedback and expense approvals.

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.

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.

Reasons for Choosing Keka

The remote management option is wonderful with the 1:1 meeting. More automation features are available in this product.

Switched From

ZenHR

Reasons for Switching to 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.

Overall experience is average. If you are looking for a basic HR automation software, it is ok but if you have any processes that need a little flexibility within the software or some tweaks from the normal, you are out of luck. Change is painfully slow and customer service is abysmal.

Pros

Basic HR automation features are all included

Cons

Lot of the functionality is hard wired; impossible to make any changes. You have to wire your process to fit Keka. Customer Service is very poor. Most times, they dont understand the issue and ask to re-do activity. For example; some issue with Timesheet module; their solution, ask employees to re-submit all Timesheets for last 2 week.

Efficient HR Management and Empowering Experience

Reviewed on 11/07/2023

Pros

Well I am using Keka for more then a year now and it's been very good experience overall, there are so many things which I liked about keka is that Keka HR is known as a comprehensive HR management software that addresses various business problems related to HR processes. Its scope of use typically includes functions such as employee management, payroll management, leave management, performance management, and more. It aims to streamline HR operations, improve efficiency, and enhance employee experience.

Cons

Birthday wishes, work anniversary for employees and employers, login time

We are solving HRMS requirement using Keka and so far we are very convinced with the quality of product, it supplies every functionality as promised. So we are now moving all our assets to keka and making it our HRMS Software for Full time

Pros

Keka comes with many such features which helps any organization to manage their staff efficiently.
Like I daily use keka to mark my attendance in my company, I start my day as a Work from home (remote working ) employee, first I clock in using Web Clock provided in the KEKA. It automatically manage my attendance and leave balance maintenance, also it takes care of my payroll and pay slips. it helps HR to seamlessly manage tickets raised by the employee like us and resolve the matter. it also comes with a profile management, where we can upload necessary document for ease of access during the time of work.

Cons

I first of all found the UI of software very clumsy, it is very clear no doubt , but it is very populated and use of animal characters in UI like elephant in leave management seems very childish. also the loading time of web based solution is very slow, like we have subdomain knovator.keke.com/ it is very slow and takes up too much time to load all settings.
Also web clock can be enhanced more, as it must be given a pause functionality because we have flexible working hours.
