Comparison
Dovetail and Neocase compared
If Neocase is on your shortlist you have already decided not to run HR on a general purpose platform. Both of us build only for HR service delivery, so the differences are narrower than most vendor comparisons admit. They come down to independent ratings, who can change the system after go live, and where each of us is strongest geographically.
