It was just last quarter when GetApp, the leading business app discovery platform gave us a reason to celebrate by featuring CakeHR in the top 10 software solution list.

Come Q3 and our happiness is twofold.

Time to make merry! 😊 We have climbed up the ranking ladder to enter the premium club of Top 5 HR Software Solutions with an enviable 4^th spot to our credit. This noteworthy feat wouldn’t be possible without the trust and support of our valued patrons. A big Thank you, indeed! 🎉

A quick revisit of 5 data points used by GetApp to rank the different apps tells us our progress on each of these parameters as well as the overall score.

We jumped 5 points on the total score from 54 to 59 that helped us catapult from rank no. 6 to rank no. 4.

We also scored extremely high on the parameter of “User Reviews” that goes on to show the extent of faith our customers place on the CakeHR software.

For the benefit of our readers, we reproduce the 5 factors and their interpretation for the quarterly ranking process:

• Reviews: Calculates user preferences – number of ratings and quality of reviews benchmarked against other apps in the industry

• Integrations: Compatibility with other processes and apps listed on GetApp

• Mobile: Takes into account Mobile App Availability on Google Play and Apple App Store as well as the app ratings by users

• Media: Market Presence in terms of Twitter followers and Facebook fans

• Security: Data gathered from a self-assessment survey on Cloud Security Alliance and security certifications is converted to relevant scores. In case of tie, “Security Score” acts as a tiebreaker as it has the highest weightage among all factors

Each of these 5 data points is scored out of 20. In case of tie, each data point is weighted for importance, with security taking precedent, followed by reviews, integrations, mobile apps, and media presence, respectively.
