SimplyMerit Reviews

Ease of configuration. Intuitive for end users and HR admins. Customer support/responsiveness from the team. Ease of distribution of award letters right in the tool.

Really nothing. We do have a fairly complex bonus system that we had to get creative with configuration to do but it worked out and they were a great resources to help us figure out options.

Annual merit and bonus planning cycles for our employees.

The customer service is amazing. They are really hands on, know the tool well, and always make themselves available for questions.

I wish there was a guide to reference back to each year.

Manual processes and use of spreadsheets

I find SimplyMerit very easy and intuitive to use. It helps us roll up our merits and makes viewing them straightforward. I appreciate that it tracks our ratings and our dollars efficiently. The system allows us to make necessary changes based on budgets and is effective in holding managers accountable. The initial setup of SimplyMerit was very easy.

Nothing

I use SimplyMerit to manage merits for 600 employees, moving away from Excel. It's easy to use, tracks ratings and dollars, allows budget-based changes, holds managers accountable, and simplifies merit roll-up and viewing.

The tool is easy to use - it has helped us to be very efficient and organized in the salary planning process - best of all they are very helpful and supportive when we have questions and respond in a timely manner.

There isn't anything that we don't like. Like any other system you have to get used to it - but the logic is easy to pick.

We are a global company, so we are now able to plan in different currencies - the process is no longer manual so it puts all managers on the same page

The user interface is very easy to use and it is very customizable.

In order to update certain fields, you have to complete an import to override current information. Would be nice if you could edit directly in the interface.

In the past, we created manual spreadsheets with passwords, locked cells, etc and then would ask managers for updates. We were also creating letters via mail merge.

My company had a great experience with the simply merit system and team!

We have just under 2,000 employees and was nervous about how we were going to navigate our first merit planning tool. The Simply Merit customer service team was amazing! Every time I had a question, big or small, they always got back to me extremely quickly. Excited to continue using this system!

None that i can think of! They are great to work with.

SimplyMerit is easy to use for HR and managers. The support we receive from the SM team is A+++++! They regularly make updates and add new features that are of great value to us.

Would love to be able to directly connect our performance management system with SM to sync ratings across both systems.

We save an amazing amount of time using SM versus spreadsheets and don't have all the issues that come with multiple iterations of spreadsheets.

Simply Merit provided absolutely exceptional support that was instrumental in helping our team meet a very tight deadline. Their customer service is truly the best I have ever experienced—they acted as a genuine partner, patiently guiding me through every step and resolving all my concerns.

Key Highlights:

User Adoption: Managers found the system remarkably easy to use, and the budget feature was particularly valuable.

The ease of reviewing data and allowing managers the autonomy to make proposals. The process made it easy for executives to view their entire team and make approvals and/or suggestions. Allowed HR to oversee entire process company-wide. The support by the SimplyMerit team provides quick, friendly and educated responses and assistance.

I do not have any dislikes, the system worked well for our organization and met our needs. One area we would like to enhance is on the bonus calculation to avoid having to uploads and download multiple times for final calculations. We look forward to using again during our next merit and bonus cycle.

We solved the problem of manually processing proposals in spreadsheets. The benefits have been ease of manager input, executive approvals and admin access to review, change and download in preparation of updating our HRIS and payroll systems.

The name says it all. Although it's simple to use, the functionality is impressive -- giving us everything that we need. It is also flexible enough to make edits as needed. The ability to produce confirmation statements for each employee is great. Implementation was a breeze. Customer Support is very responsive and very knowledgeable of the product. Uploading and downloading information is very easy.

I see no downside, we have had great success with this product and the team at MorganHR

Our HRIS does not offer this critical functionality. We feel extremely lucky to have found SimplyMerit.
