What problems is Dovetail HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dovetail is serving as a case management solution for our Employee Relations Department. It will allow them to communicate with employees and have all of the case information consolidated into one case which makes it easier to reference, research, track, and review in a report. It eliminates manual work outside of the system because you can include notes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Dovetail HR?

Dovetail's knowledge and case management functionality surpasses anything that I've used previously! The site is intuitive and the seach functionality is on point. I love how easy the site is to configure and that I was able to customize everything to support our processes and ways of working.

Dovetail’s implementation team took me through the ins and outs of the system set up. They didn’t just set up everything for me, they took the time to teach me how to configure the system myself. This meant that I was in the driver’s seat and could customize the system however I saw fit! By not having to utilize an IT or HRIS partner to complete the system configuration, I was able to free their teams up to continue to work on other business critical initiatives and was totally in control to design an end-to-end platform with the employee experience front of mind! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dovetail HR?

I honestly haven't seen much that's missing from Dovetail's platform. It is designed with HR in mind. All of our ideas for improvements are currently on their roadmap and actively being developed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dovetail HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Previously, we didn't have a way to effectively provide HR information or support employee inquiries. We struggled to support our various populations effectively, as we didn't have a way to restrict content and therefore hadn't enabled self-service for our employees. Using Dovetail, we have built personas that filter our HR content based on employee details in our HCM. This allowed us to create a platform that employee's could access HR information on their own, submitting a case when needed, instead of having to go through their HR Business Partner, improving the satisfaction of both our employee and HR populations.

What do you like best about Dovetail HR?

My team was managing our work out of an outlook shared mailbox. We had no real way to quantify the types of requests we were receiving. Dovetail solved that immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dovetail HR?

Honestly nothing. The software is very reasonably priced. The value you get is tremendous. The install process was a breeze and we were up and running in a matter of days. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dovetail HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Managing your work from a shared outlook queue is a nightmare. Dovetail gives us a real insight into who is contacting us, how often and what issues my team needs to solve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dovetail HR?

Business rule capability, role security, workflow options, issue and sub-issue type configuration, customer-centric approach to releases, integrability with our other HR and business systems, innovation roadmap, outstanding support both in terms of response time and quality of response, clear and configurable user interface with everything we need to know about the employee(s) in question and most importantly their case history - keeps our shared services team running efficiently like it's supposed to. Leadership clearly engaged, they are successful but still work for your business like a scrappy startup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dovetail HR?

CURRENTLY, the reporting capability is there but requires a lot of time and training to get maximum usefulness, so for the most part we have relied on data dumps that we feed into a reporting tool like PBI to populate our dashboards. But even that approach starts to give you trouble after a while because of the sheer volume of historical data we happen to have (your results may differ). But I know this is on their roadmap and they are staffing to manage a transition, and the nice thing with Dovetail is that we've been given reason to believe them when they say such things. Initially it was more of a third party bolt-on but sounds like it's going to be managed more in-house, which I expect will translate to the same level of support we receive for all other aspects of our setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dovetail HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Prior to Dovetail, we had no real case management system - we had a shared email box for intake and comms and a shared network drive for documents. With dovetail we have a massively improved intake and assignment process, ability to see and connect case history, report out, and integrate multiple channels from email to web to phone, and now live chat which has proven to be a major win for our particular workforce type.

What do you like best about Dovetail HR?

Dovetail is an excellent case management system that is user friendly, for both the admin and the end user.

Having gone through an implementation with Dovetail support to add an additional user group and their requirements / functionality, I've learned how easy it is to implement on my own, and now I'm able to implement new Dovetail projects for new user groups without additional Dovetail support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dovetail HR?

Some of the documentation on the Dovetail support side could use updating. There are videos and guides, but there is some functionality that isn't covered or is out-dated and not clear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dovetail HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tracking HR related inquiries through the Case Management system. It allows our HR teams to save time by logging notes and emails from with the Dovetail case so that all of the updates are logged automatically. It also allows us to track, via reporting, the number of queries / cases that are coming in from employees, so that we're able to streamline our processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Dovetail HR?

We don't use them often but the reports are definitely one of the pieces I like best. Overall the data that we can gather through this system has helped us greatly since that was our main objective. We are growing rapidly and this is helping us know what is important to our employees and making sure we are adequately staffed. The employee portal has also been a game changer, especially over COVID. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Dovetail HR?

Email notifications and how they are either an all or nothing to the HR staff who are connected to certain queues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dovetail HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Seeing questions that are constantly coming up and determining if there are ways to get that information out there so employees can access it themselves. With are growth Dovetail has helped us see where we may need more support. Dovetail has also helped us provide a one stop shop for our employees, not only can they find all the answers to their questions in one location, they can also go to the portal for updates and to reach out to our solution center team and track their inquiry.

There is a certainly learning curve with reporting and some wish list items/minor fixes needed, but we see those being addressed with every deployment and in their roadmap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Dovetail HR solving and how is that benefiting you?

Dovetail provides a one-stop-shop for our employees to use for HR information. The customization allows us to improve business processes and keep all cases/questions in one place so we are able to action on the insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
