Some of the top features are the forms validation on the Tax forms and the I-9. Making sure that the form is completed correctly from the start saves a lot of time on follow-up with the employee. Also, we have enjoyed the ability to make groups of tasks dependent upon one another so that we can ensure that the new hire and internal teams complete required tasks which allows for a smooth onboarding process. We have also been able to achieve 100% on all audits, because the documentation is organized and complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Rival? The reporting really needs to be enhanced. Currently it is a data dump and then you work with it after the fact. It would be really helpful to have more powerful report writing capabilities with scheduled report deliveries and dashboards for managers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Rival solving and how is that benefiting you? Before using SilkRoad, we had a paper-based process. SilkRoad allowed us to automate the onboarding process - no more paper.
